Texas Instruments DC-DC Boost Step Up Regulator, Adjustable, 2.9V-18V In, 3A, 2

The Texas Instruments DC-DC Boost Step Up Regulator is a highly efficient, adjustable voltage regulator module designed to convert a lower input voltage to a higher, stable output voltage. This surface-mount integrated circuit is ideal for a wide range of applications where a compact and reliable power solution is required.

Featuring a high switching frequency of 2.2MHz, the regulator allows for the use of smaller external inductors and capacitors, saving valuable board space. With an impressive 93% typical efficiency, it maximises power utilisation and minimises heat generation, making it suitable for energy-sensitive designs. The input voltage range is from 2.9V to 18V, while the output can be adjusted up to 38V, delivering a maximum continuous output current of 3A.

The device is housed in a compact HTSSOP-14 package, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts. It offers robust performance across a broad operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environmental conditions.
