Multiple USB ports?
Hi, I'm interested in making a larger sized USB charger, using 2 D batteries, and adding multiple USB ports. Is it as simple as just adding multiple USB ports in parallel to the current USB used on the miniboost circuit? I assume so considering you just have a bigger load on the DC/DC component itself, but can get more power from larger batteries. Let me know what you think.

It might be possible to add an external (to the chip) FET to get stronger switching. I don't know enough about FETs to know how to spec that. The inductor and diode would also have to be capable of handling (storing, passing, etc.) the energy. 450mA is already putting a substantial load (more than 450mA) on the batteries.Billie wrote:is there another chip that provides more current?
