I meant to this add but hit SEND too quickly: If I was doing this I'd look into having the PIC control the boost switcher directly. There are various PICs available with built in comparators, and some of them even have absolute voltage references too. Tomas never said what the computing requirements of his game are, but all might be doable using a single PIC for the game logic and the power supply controller. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
