Boost-converter eval board maximises runtime for wireless devices

An evaluation board from Recom, maximises runtime for small battery-powered wireless devices. The R-78S evaluation board (R-78S3.3-0.1-EVM) for Recom’s 3.3V R-78S boost converter is now available from Dengrove Electronic Components. The evaluation board maximises runtime by generating a regulated 3.3V output as the battery discharges to as low as 0.65V. Test points measure load current and ...
