Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- boost converter
- A boost converter is a switching power circuit that raises a lower input voltage to a higher output voltage. It is used when a device needs more voltage than its power source provides, for example running a 5 V sensor from a 3.3 V supply.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- TPS61169
- The TPS61169 is a boost-style LED backlight driver chip used to power display backlights at a controlled current. It matters because TFT backlights often need a higher voltage and regulated current rather than being powered directly from a microcontroller pin.
