Adafruit 12V Bias Voltage Boost Converter - TPS61040

The Adafruit 12V Bias Voltage Boost Converter utilizes the TI TPS61040 mini-booster to efficiently convert a 3V input into a 12V DC output. Perfect for projects that require a moderate high voltage, such as driving LED string backlights or programming FLASH or EEPROM memories. This compact breakout board is not suitable for high power applications like motors or solenoids but excels in low current demands up to 40mA.

Specifications include an easy setup with input voltage ranging from 2 to 6V DC and a simple connection via IN and Ground pins. Achieve 12V on the output pin, and manage power with an Enable pin that can be pulled low to disable the output. This convenient solution is ideal when a separate 12V supply is unnecessary, making it a seamless integration into designs with existing 3.3 or 5V sources.

Designed with versatility in mind, the board comes fully assembled and includes a TPS61040 chip and necessary passive components, alongside a small header for easy connection. Whether brightening up your OLED displays or pursuing other inventive endeavors, this boost converter simplifies integration and enhances project potential.
