This makes it great for powering 3.3\u0026amp;nbsp;V electronics projects from 1 to 3 NiMH, NiCd, or alkaline cells or from a single lithium-ion cell. Additionally, unlike most boost regulators, this unit offers a true shutdown option that turns off power to the load (with typical boost regulators, the input voltage will pass directly through to the output when they are disabled).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen boosting, this module acts as a switching regulator (also called switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters) and has a typical efficiency between 70% to 90%.

This pin is internally pulled up to VIN through an 100\u0026amp;nbsp;kΩ resistor, so it can be left disconnected or connected directly to VIN if you do not need to use the disable feature. The disable threshold is a function of the input voltage as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor VIN \u0026amp;lt; 0.8\u0026amp;nbsp;V,\u0026amp;nbsp;SHDN\u0026amp;nbsp;voltage must be below 0.1×VIN to disable the regulator and above 0.9×VIN to enable it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 0.8\u0026amp;nbsp;V ≤ VIN ≤ 1.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V,\u0026amp;nbsp;SHDN\u0026amp;nbsp;voltage must be below 0.2×VIN to disable the regulator and above 0.8×VIN to enable it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor VIN \u0026amp;gt; 1.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V,\u0026amp;nbsp;SHDN\u0026amp;nbsp;voltage must be below 0.4\u0026amp;nbsp;V to disable the regulator and above 1.2\u0026amp;nbsp;V to enable it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input voltage, VIN, must be at least 0.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V for the regulator to turn on. However, once the regulator is on, the input voltage can drop as low as 0.3\u0026amp;nbsp;V and the 3.3\u0026amp;nbsp;V output voltage will be maintained on VOUT. Unlike standard boost regulators, this regulator has an additional linear down-regulation mode that allows it to convert input voltages as high as 5.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V down to 3.3\u0026amp;nbsp;V for small to moderate sized loads (for example, in our tests, the\u0026amp;nbsp;adjustable version\u0026amp;nbsp;of this regulator was able to supply 300\u0026amp;nbsp;mA while converting an input of 5.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V down to 1.8\u0026amp;nbsp;V). When the input voltage exceeds 3.3\u0026amp;nbsp;V, the regulator automatically switches to this down-regulation mode. The input voltage should not exceed 5.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V. Please be wary of destructive LC spikes that might cause the input voltage to surpass 5.5\u0026amp;nbsp;V (see below for more information).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four connections are labeled on the back side of the PCB, and they are arranged with a 0.1″ spacing along the edge of the board for compatibility with solderless\u0026amp;nbsp;breadboards,\u0026amp;nbsp;connectors, and other prototyping arrangements that use a 0.1″ grid.
