Anybody care to speculate about the most important aspects to consider when
trying to achieve 98% efficiency in a low-power (20mW) boost converter?  Most
available step-up converter circuits seem to perform in the 85 to 90% region.

I'm finishing a PCB "test bed" layout, which allows jumper-selection of
different inductors, synchronous switches, and adjustable controller parameters.
I'm hoping not to forget something important before sending it off to the PCB
house.  Just for fun I thought I'd make it in the form of an Arduino shield;
giving an option for the processor to control the parameters and take
measurements.
