One of the most common problems in electronics is that several microcontroller boards, including the Arduino, require 5V input voltage, but LiPo batteries are rated 3.7V. Well, this DC-DC 5V Booster solves just that. It steps up 0.9 - 5V DC of input voltage to 5V output voltage. Furthermore, this module is based on a CE8301 IC, which is a CMOS step-up switching DC/DC converter that mainly consists of a reference voltage source, an oscillator, and a comparator. It also has an impressive accuracy of ±2%. With this module, you can power up any USB devices using a mere LiPo battery. No need to add more electronics!
Specifications:
- On-board Type-A USB connector
- Wide Input Voltage Range
- On-board LED Indicator
- Dimension: 34 mm x 16.2 mm
Inclusions: 1 x DC DC 5V Booster CE8301 with Type-A USB Connector
