S13V10F5 5V Step-Up/Step-Down Regulator (2.8–22V In, up to 1A)

Battery voltage going up and down? The Pololu S13V10F5 is a compact buck-boost (step-up/step-down) DC-DC regulator that keeps your output at a stable 5V even when your supply drops below 5V or rises above it. Great for portable builds, robotics, and “one power rail” projects where efficiency matters.

Only 3 pins: VIN, GND, VOUT—easy to drop into breadboards/perfboards (0.1″ spacing).

Best for

  • 5V microcontrollers & sensors powered from batteries (1S Li-ion, AA packs, 2S/3S with sag)
  • Projects that need stable 5V across discharge curves
  • Compact builds where linear regulators would get too hot
  • Quick prototyping with breadboards and perfboards
Notes: This module has no enable pin and no reverse-voltage protection. If you need a hard on/off, add an external switch.

How to identify: Compared to the similar S13V15F5 / S13V20F5, this version can be recognized by its inductor style and the resistor marking “81C” on the bottom side.

Why/Benefits

  • Buck-boost convenience: stable 5V whether your input is higher or lower than 5V.
  • Efficient: typically ~85–95% depending on VIN and load (better battery life, less heat).
  • Soft-start: helps limit inrush current and ramps output smoothly.
  • Protection features: input under-voltage lockout, output over-voltage protection, over-current protection, and over-temperature shutoff.
  • Clean wiring: just three connections—VIN/GND/VOUT.

Pinout & power notes

  • VIN: connect your source (2.8–22V).
  • VOUT: regulated 5V output to your load.
  • GND: common ground to your load/MCU.
  • Thermals: continuous current depends on input voltage and airflow—give it breathing room for higher loads.

FAQ

  • Can this power a 5V Arduino from a single Li-ion cell?

    Yes—this is a classic use case. It boosts when the cell is below 5V and bucks when the input is above 5V (within current/thermal limits).

  • Why is “up to 1A” not always guaranteed?

    Like most tiny DC-DC modules, max continuous current depends on VIN, ambient temperature, and cooling. For best results, keep wiring short and allow airflow.

  • Does it have an on/off pin?

    No—only VIN/GND/VOUT. Use an external switch if you need power control.
