## Description

The is a wonderfully simple 5V power source from Bodhilabs. This PCB uses a source of 1.1V to 4.5V and generates 5V using a DC to DC step up circuit. An empty footprint for a manual or wire jumper is provided on the unit to connect and disconnect power to the circuit. Perfect for all those 5V applications that need to be small, and run on less than 300mA from a variety of power cells.

**Specifications:**

- Voltage regulation: +5V +/-3%
- Typical current: 300mA or less.
- Typical ripple: 150mV peak-peak (\*) @ 135kHz
