DC/DC converter measurement results
New recommended components yield results much closer to datasheet expectations
Much lower ripple when current draw is 10x lower than typical radio current; good news for timer stability
Large cap on battery side (DCDC input) will be necessary when using DCDC with high source resistances, e.g., printed batteries
@Alex Moreno
Printed battery to DCDC to SCuM tests
Planning to revise method of battery current measurement
Expected 16 hr battery life; tested approx 10 hrs w/ inefficient DCDC component choice
