Summary of LiPo Booster
The LiPo Booster is a compact, breadboard-friendly boost converter utilizing the TPS61230 IC to step up voltage from a single-cell LiPo battery to 5V. Its design allows it to fit on normal, half-size, or tiny breadboards without obstructing vertical power strips, making it ideal for portable electronics projects requiring stable power from LiPo sources.
Parts used in the LiPo Booster:
- Breadboard
- TPS61230 IC
- Single cell LiPo battery
LiPo Booster is a breadboard-friendly boost converter board based on the TPS61230 IC from Texus Instrument. It has an output voltage of 5V, and is designed to be used with a single cell LiPo battery.
For normal and half size breadboards, the LiPo Booster can be plugged into the power rails without blocking the vertical 5-pin strips. It can also be used with a tiny breadboard or breadboard of any sizes as shown below.
