The Adafruit PowerBoost 1000 is a great power supply for your next portable project. Starting from a 1.8V (or higher) battery, it will produce a steady 5.2V output giving you headroom for cable resistance, high inrush currents or maybe a protection diode. Its internal 4A boost converter will supply more than 1A from sources down to 2V and up to 2A from a 3.7V LiPo or Li-ion battery. The TPS61030 chip at the heart of the PowerBoost comes with some useful extra features such as an enable pin which can turn the voltage output off, low battery indication, support for iPhone / iPod 1A charging, and a greater than 90% conversion efficiency.
Supplied fully assembled plus a USB A socket (host socket), 1x 2-pin screw terminal block, 1x 2-pin JST socket. Choose which of these to solder to the PowerBoost: USB to supply a USB peripheral; JST for up to 2A output current; terminal block above 2A or, if you prefer it, simply wire directly to the board for a lower profile solution (22AWG recommended).
- DC boost converter supplies 5.2V from 1.8V or above
- Up to 2A output at 5V DC from suitable batteries
- 90% plus power efficiency for longer life
- Adafruit part no. 2030
