Boost a low voltage from a battery to a stable 5V output with TPS81256 for powering various portable devices via a USB Type-C connector
Battery Source Click is a compact add-on board designed to significantly boost the power output of a battery for various portable applications. This Click board features the highly-efficient TPS81256 step-up converter from Texas Instruments.
KEY FEATURES:
- Input voltage boost: Effectively raises voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V input
- Standard USB Type-C output: Delivers a consistent 5V at up to 1A current
- High switching frequency: Operates at 4MHz for optimal performance
- Power-saving mode: Automatically engages during light loads, minimizing power consumption
- Ultra-low standby current: Reduces current draw to a mere 43μA in light load scenarios, extending battery life
- Minimal shutdown current: Current draw less than 1µA in shutdown mode for ultimate battery optimization
- Output enable control: Provides easy output activation/deactivation via the MAX40200
- Visual monitoring: Includes a red LED indicator for clear operational status
APPLICATIONS:
- Boost the power of your battery-powered Internet of Things (IoT) equipment, allowing them to operate for longer durations without battery replacements
- Convert a lower voltage power bank into a 5V USB Type-C charger for your smartphones or other devices, enabling boosted charging on the road

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™
Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click boards to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click boards to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click boards nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.
ABOUT MIKROE
MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more then million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1600+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
