Adafruit Ap3602a

Product details
It has the size of a linear regulator, but it’s actually a mini booster! On one side, it takes in 3V, and on the other side, it provides 5V at up to 100mA. Perfect for battery-powered projects using 2 or 3 alkaline batteries or a single lithium battery. For larger projects, you can use one of our PowerBoost boards, which can deliver a current of 500mA to 2A.
This booster uses a charge pump topology, making it very compact and cost-effective. However, it is not as efficient as an induction-based boost converter. Charge pumps always double the input voltage and then regulate down. So yes, not as efficient. They are ideal when you don’t have to worry about coulombs or when the current draw is not very high.
You will receive a fully assembled breakout with an AP3602A and components, along with a small piece of header. Apply 3-5VDC to the IN and ground pins. Then you will have 5V at the OUT pin. The enable pin can be pulled low to disable the output.
