Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 Basic - 5V USB Boost @ 1000mA from 1.8V+

PowerBoost effortlessly fuels your demanding portable projects. This compact DC/DC boost converter module transforms input from as low as 1.8V into a stable 5.2V DC, ideal for 5V setups. With a robust 4A converter, it efficiently delivers over 1A from minimal inputs, echoing the performance of our distinguished 5V 1A USB adapters.

Enhanced with a 5.2V output, it compensates for resistance in extended cable runs and high-load scenarios, ensuring consistent power delivery. It's compatible with all 5V devices like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Beagle Bone, preventing power issues during intense draw.

At the core of PowerBoost is a TPS61030 boost converter, renowned for features such as low battery detection, a 4A internal switch, and synchronous conversion, ensuring top-tier efficiency. With an easy-enable pin, disconnection is immediate by grounding, ensuring on-demand power management.

Specifications highlight its capability: 1.8V inputs yield 1000mA+ output, increasing with more potent batteries. A low battery LED triggers at sub-3.2V levels, providing timely alerts. Dedicated Apple/iOS resistors facilitate efficient 1000mA charging for iPhones and iPads.

The integrated breakout offers simple connections for inputs, control pins, and outputs. The high efficiency of over 90% assures minimal power loss, equipped for a wide range of projects from robotics to Arduino systems. The package includes a ready-to-use PCB, JST jack, terminal block, and USB A jack, empowering straightforward integration for power customization.
