• Great for powering your robot, Arduino project, single-board-computer such as Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone!• Synchronous operation means you can disconnect the output completely by connecting the ENable pin to ground•2A internal switch means you can get 500m A+ from as low as 1.8V, 750m A+ from 2 Ni MH or Alkaline batteries• And at least 1000m A from a 3.7V Li Poly/ Li Ion battery or 3 Ni MH/ Alkalines• Low battery indicator LED lights up red when the voltage dips below 3.2V, optimized for the most common usage of Li Po/ Li Ion battery usage• On-board 500m A charge-rate ' Apple/i OS' data resistors. Solder in the included USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector & you can plug in any iPhone or iPod for 500m A charge rate• Not suggested for iPad• Full breakout for battery in, control pins & power out•90%+ operating efficiency in most cases (see datasheet for efficiency graphs)• Low quiescent current: 5m A when enabled & power LED is on, 20u A when disabled (power & low batt LED are off) Power Boost is the perfect power supply for your portable project! This little DC/DC boost converter module can run from 1.8V batteries or higher, & convert that voltage to 5.2V DC for running your 5V projects. The output is tweaked to be 5.2V instead of a straight-up 5.0V so that there's a little bit of 'headroom' long cables, high draw, the addition of a diode on the output if you wish, etc. The 5.2V is safe for all 5V-powered electronics like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone while preventing icky brown-outs during high current draw because of USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable resistance. The Power Boost 500 has at the heart a TPS61090 boost converter from TI. This boost converter chip has some really nice extras such as low battery detection, 2A internal switch, synchronous conversion, excellent efficiency, & 700 K Hz high-frequency operation. Check out these specs! Each order comes with one fully assembled & tested PCB & a loose USB (Universal Serial Bus) A jack. If you are powering your project from USB (Universal Serial Bus), solder the USB (Universal Serial Bus) A jack in (a 3-minute soldering task). If you would like to use a terminal block, you'll need to pick up a 3.5mm 2pin block & solder to the output spot where the USB (Universal Serial Bus) jack would go. Or don't solder anything in for a more compact power pack.
