Description
The BOOSTer module family offers fixed value step up DC-DC converters with a small form factor and great performance at low cost. They provide a stable output over a wide input supply range under various load conditions and are available in multiple fixed output voltage versions.
What can I do with the BOOSTer?
The 5V BOOSTer for example allows you to power your 5V Arduino from two AA batteries or a Lithium coin cell for months (bypass the on-board linear regulator and use the sleep modes, for example using the tips and tricks from this great tutorial over at www.home-automation-community.com/).
Generally you can use so-called step up converter to power *things* that require a higher operation voltage than you have access to in your project. For example, some sensors or actors may need 9V or 12V to operate, while your USB port supplies only 5V.

One more thing:
Our power supply modules are simply awesome because we design them carefully, with you in mind. We provide excellent datasheets so you don’t have to guess if it fits your application and generally don’t give “best case” specification figures. Instead we show rather conservative values of what is safely handled. Which means that if you were to push the boundaries, there should be a fair amount of headroom.
The BOOSTer modules are engineered and manufactured in Engen, Germany!
