  • Input voltage: 3.3 V
  • Output voltage: 12 V
  • Up to 85% efficiency at 3.6 V input and 12 V output
  • ±2 % output voltage accuracy
  • 50 mA output current
  • Chipset: Texas Instruments TPS61046
  • Module size: 10 x 10 mm

Specifications

Overview

Mounting

The RAK19002 module can be mounted on the slots A, B, C or D of the WisBase board. Figure 2 shows the mounting mechanism of the RAK19002 on a WisBase module, such as the RAK5005-O.

Pin Definition

The RAK19002 WisBlock boost module comprises a standard WisSensor connector. The WisSensor connector allows the RAK19002 module to be mounted on a WisBlock baseboard, such as RAK5005-O. The pin order of the connector and the pinout definition is shown in Figure 3.

NOTE
  • Only one IO (as a IC enable pin), VDD, and GND are connected to this module.
  • Connect R1 or R3 resistor to select the IO pin. Check the schematic diagram in Figure 7.
  • The slot B is not recommended because the IO2 pin is used to control power supply 3V3_S on WisBase RAK5005-O.
  • The maximum recommended current is 50 mA ( VIN=3.3 V ).
