OVP threshold for this converter

Here, this Boost converter, says that it can boost the input voltage from 2.5 V to 10 V. My input is from a 7.4 V, 7.5 Ah battery. Output is 9 V. The maximum load current is 3 A. Ideally, for my OVP ...

Boost converter output voltage drops

I'm using an MIC2251 (MIC2251-1YD5-TR) in a design to boost a lithium battery (3.6V-4.1V) to 5.4V for powering a small camera peripheral that requires a typical draw of 80mA. I expect that the worse ...

Output load current less - DCDC Converter [closed]

I'm using this Boost converter. 3.6V to 12V with a load current 300mA. 10uH is the inductor used. But I am only able to get a maximum load current of 120mA. What might be the reason?

Is there a thumb rule for the input and output capacitor for DC-DC converters?

If we are using a buck converter of say 5V 1A output, we definitely require input and output capacitors. Just without making any calculations, is there a thumb rule on what the values of the input and ...
