Yes, the design we presently have is using Schottky Barrier diodes.
Thanks,
Steve
You are in a different game if you are using Schottky diodes. I thought you were talking about doing all these things on-chip. But if you are anyway making a discrete solution, then I would recommend using DC-DC converters with inductors. I haven't made any of those myself, but searching for boost DC-DC converters will probably get you a lot of links.
The text by Pan and Samadar is primarily concerned with IC solutions, and may not be relevant to your task.

Vivek
