Description

Stabilize your builds with the steady voltage they need to be at their best! Our beloved consoles were not designed to do some of the things we’re pushing them to do, which results in things like flickering backlights and dim displays to electrical brown-outs that crash the console.

These voltage regulators alleviate the strain of our modern modifications from the stock voltage regulators that were designed just for the console. By wiring a supplementary voltage regulator to the ‘unregulated voltage’ pins in a console, you can draw directly from the batteries and ’step-up’ that voltage to supply a modification with what it needs.

Models

Pololu 5V Step-Up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator

This switching regulator uses the SEPIC topology to produce 5 V from input voltages between 2.5 V and 18 V. The wide input range coupled with its ability to convert both higher and lower input voltages makes it useful for applications where the power supply voltage can vary greatly, as with batteries that start above but discharge below 5 V. The compact (0.4″ × 0.575″) module can supply over 400 mA in typical applications.

3.3V Step-Up (Boost)

  • Output voltage: DC 3.3V±2%
  • Output current: Amperage table
  • Input: DC 0.8V ~ 3.3V
  • High efficiency : 95% (usually is 75%-93%)
  • Low ripple and Low noise
  • Ultra-small size: 10mm x 10mm

 5V Step-Up (Boost)

  • For: Game Boy Pocket or other consoles running less than 5V.
  • Output voltage: DC 5V±2%
  • Output current: Amperage table
  • Input voltage: DC 1 ~ 5V
  • High efficiency : 95% (usually is 76%-93%)
  • Low Quiescent Current : 13uA
  • Ultra-small size: 10mm x 10mm

5V Step-Up/Step-Down (Buck/Boost)

  • For: Game Boy DMG or other consoles running above 5V.
  • Output voltage: DC 5V±2%
  • Output current: 600mA
  • Input voltage: DC 3 ~ 15V
  • High efficiency: 75%
  • Small size: 19mm x 14m x 4mm
