Circuitrocks Adjustable Boost Regulator 4-25V Pololu

Circuitrocks. Powering 5V or 3.3V systems from lower-voltage batteries. Powering 5V subsystems e. g. sensors in lower-voltage e. g. 3.3V systems. Achieving consistent actuator operation when powered by fluctuating batteries. Powering high-brightness LEDs or a large number of LEDs in series. The Pololu adjustable boost regulator is a very flexible switching regulator also called a switched-mode power supply, SMPS, or DC-to-DC converter that can generate voltages higher than its input voltage. We offer two adjustable ranges: approximately 2.5 V to 9.5 V and 4 V to 25 V. The output voltage can be set using the trimmer potentiometer in the upper-right corner of the board. The input voltage range is 1.5 V to 16 V the input voltage should be kept below the output voltage). The integrated 2 A switch allows for output currents high enough to drive small motors, as in our 3pi robot, and allows large voltage gains, such as obtaining 24 V from two NiMH or NiCd cells
