If you need a bit of a power boost, but don’t have much space (or need much power), here’s just the thing: The LV to 5VDC Boost converter. Preconfigured to take 1.8 to 5VDC and give you a regulated 5VDC output, up to a maximum of 500mA.

It’s about the size of a microSD card, with three contact points: Input, Ground, and 5VDC output.

Please note: Input voltage cannot exceed 5VDC. It’s a boost converter, and is only designed to push voltage up.
