This compact (0.32″×0.515″) switching step-up (or boost) voltage regulator efficiently generates 12 V from input voltages as low as 1.3 V and handles continuous input currents up to around 1.5 A. (Note: minimum start-up voltage is 2.7 V, but it operates down to 1.3 V after that.) The pins have a 0.1″ spacing, making this board compatible with standard solderless breadboards and perfboards.

Alternatives available with variations in these parameter(s): output voltage Select variant…

Dimensions

Size: 0.32″ × 0.515″ × 0.1″1
Weight: 0.4 g1

General specifications

Minimum operating voltage: 1.3 V2
Maximum operating voltage: 16 V3
Maximum input current: 2 A4

Identifying markings

PCB dev codes: reg30a
Other PCB markings: 0J13922

Notes:

1
Without included optional headers.
2
Note: the minimum startup voltage is 2.7 V, but the regulator can operate down to 1.3 V after startup.
3
The input voltage is passed through to the output of the regulator if VIN exceeds VOUT.
4
Instantaneous. This is the rating for the switch, and regulator actively limits input current to this when boosting. Sustainable input current depends on input and output voltage and external conditions like ambient temperature and airflow.
