i want to build a dc-dc converter that will handle higher input voltages

really want is an LM2576HV that would work with an input range of 30v-100v
and provide 13.5VDC @1-2A. I would much prefer a boost converter topology
using a torroid over a transformer i have to wind. any ideas? and thanks
in advance.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is the advantage of using a boost
converter to go from 30~100VDC to 13.5VDC?

I thought "boost" meant to _increase_ the voltage above the input voltage.
Or does the choice of topology have something to do with line
regulation/input voltage range/something like that?

Thanks,
Rich
