{"title":"Adafruit MiniBoost 5V @ 100mA Charge Pump - AP3602A","handle":"adafruit-miniboost-5v-100ma-charge-pump-ap3602a","url":"/products/adafruit-miniboost-5v-100ma-charge-pump-ap3602a","description":"The Adafruit MiniBoost is a tiny charge-pump voltage booster that converts 3–5 V input to a regulated 5 V output at up to 100 mA. About the size of a linear regulator, it's an easy drop-in solution for battery-powered projects running on 2–3 alkaline cells or a single lithium cell.\n\nBased on the AP3602A charge pump IC, this board doubles the input voltage and then regulates down to 5 V. While not as efficient as inductor-based boost converters, charge pumps are compact, low-cost, and ideal for low-current applications where space is at a premium.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n5 V Regulated Output – Up to 100 mA from a 3–5 V input\n\nCharge Pump Topology – Compact, inductor-free design using the AP3602A\n\nEnable Pin – Pull low to disable the output and save power\n\nUltra-Compact – Similar footprint to a TO-220 linear regulator\n\nSimple Wiring – IN, OUT, GND, and EN pins with included header\n\nPre-Assembled – Fully soldered breakout board, just add header\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nBattery-powered projects needing a small 5 V rail (2–3 AA/AAA or 1× LiPo)\nPowering low-current 5 V sensors, displays, or logic\nSpace-constrained designs where an inductor-based booster won't fit\nPrototyping and breadboard-friendly power supplies\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit MiniBoost 5V Charge Pump Breakout (assembled)\n1× Header strip\n\n\n\nNote: Charge pumps are less efficient than inductor-based boost converters, especially at higher current loads. Best suited for applications drawing under 100 mA.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":6640,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3661","price":5.75,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":25,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
