This DC\/DC boost converter module can run from 1.8V batteries or higher, converting that voltage to 5.2V DC to power your 5V projects. The 5.2V output provides a bit of 'headroom' to compensate for long cables, high current draw, or the addition of diodes on the output, while being safe for all 5V-powered electronics such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its core, it utilizes the TPS61090 boost converter from Texas Instruments, featuring low battery detection, a 2A internal switch, synchronous conversion for high efficiency, and 700KHz high-frequency operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronous operation allows complete disconnection of output by pulling the Enable pin (EN) low.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2A internal switch (2.5A peak limiting) enables 500mA+ from 1.8V, 750mA+ from 2 NiMH or Alkaline batteries, and 1000mA+ from a 3.7V LiPoly\/LiIon battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow battery indicator LED lights red below 3.2V, ideal for LiPo\/LiIon battery usage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes on-board 500mA Apple\/iOS charge-rate data resistors; solder in the USB connector to charge iPhone\/iPod (not recommended for iPad).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull breakout for battery input, control pins, and power output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 90% operating efficiency with a low quiescent current: 5mA when enabled (power LED on), 20μA when disabled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for powering robots, Arduino projects, and single-board computers like Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone.
