Off the wall in what way?
In ways I will apply for patent, then explain ;-)
So it's totally wacky then.
Continuous-mode PWM boost is just one baby step past trivial. All you
minimally need to do is limit the ON duty cycle to a modest amount
past what you need to overcome losses, to avoid the 100% ON
singularity. It's been done zillions of times. If a uP is generating
the PWM, you can do a smart algorithm with nice ramp-ups and stable
current limiting.
I'm sure glad everything is trivial for his majesty.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
