Pololu 5V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U3V70F5

• Pololu 5V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U3V70F5
• Offers a true shutdown option that turns off power to the load
• Operating voltage: 2.9 – 5 V
• Maximum input current: 10 A
• Output type: fixed 5V

The 5V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U3V70F5 efficiently generates an output voltage of 5 V from an input voltage as low as 2.9 V while using an input current as high as 8 A. This regulator features reverse voltage protection, and unlike most boost regulators, it offers a true shutdown option that turns off power to the load.

Features 

• True shutdown option turns off power to the load
• Typical efficiency of 80% to 95%, depending on input voltage and load (see the Typical efficiencies and output currents section below for performance graphs)
• Reverse voltage protection
• Short-circuit protection with hiccup recovery
• Over-temperature shutoff
• Under-voltage lockout (typical thresholds are 2.4 V falling, 2.8 V rising)
• Cycle-by-cycle input current limiting to 10 A
• Two mounting holes for #2 or M2 screws
• Smaller holes for 0.1″ header pins and larger holes for terminal blocks offer several options for connecting to the board
