Re: PD Board Noise?

Breakers are unrelated. Al is correct. This is a side effect of making the boost regulators burly enough to handle very low input voltages. During normal operation they don't have much to do relative to their capability, so they whine out of boredom (discontinuous / burst mode operation).
