Boost converter and related integrated circuit

A boost converter, comprising:

• input terminals configured to receive an input voltage;
• output terminals configured to provide an output voltage;
• at least one electronic power switch;
• a voltage control circuit comprising:
• a voltage divider comprising at least a first resistive element and a second resistive element connected in series, wherein said voltage divider is coupled to said output terminals, and wherein an intermediate point between said first and second resistive elements provides a feedback voltage;
• a control unit configured to drive said at least one electronic power switch as a function of said feedback voltage;
• at least one electronic control switch configured for selectively connecting said voltage divider to said output terminals as a function of an enablement signal;
• and
• a timer circuit configured to generate said enablement signal;
• wherein said enablement signal comprises a plurality of pulses such that said voltage divider is periodically connected to said output terminals for a first time and disconnected from said output terminals for a second time.
