VERTER can take battery voltages from 3-12VDC and output a nice 5V DC, which makes it a perfect universal power supply for your portable project! Where Verter really shines is when you have a battery or power range that can fluctuate a lot, or you don't know what you'll end up using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt operates smoothly over the 3-12V range, moving from a boost converter (3-5V in) to a buck converter (5-12V in) on the fly.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note! This chip can do both, but it really works better as a buck converter than a boost\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you need a full 500mA out, it will struggle as it gets down to 3V and the output will sag to about 4.8V (which is still within standard USB power specs).\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.2V is safe for all 5V-powered electronics like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone while preventing icky brownouts during high current draw because of USB cable resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe VERTER has at the heart a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTPS63060 boost converter from TI. This buck-boost converter chip can handle a wide range of voltages (3-12V) and has some really nice extras such as power good output, 2A internal switch, synchronous conversion, excellent efficiency, and 2.2MHz high-frequency operation. Check out these specs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronous operation means you can disconnect the output completely by connecting the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEN\u003c\/b\u003eable pin to ground.
