Please do thorough research if it is necessary to install with your Game boy. Improper installation can result in severe damage to your motherboard and console. Stabilize your builds with the steady voltage they need to be at their best! Our beloved consoles were not designed to do some of the things we’re pushing them to do, which results in things like flickering backlights and dim displays to electrical brown-outs that crash the console. These voltage regulators alleviate the strain of our modern modifications from the stock voltage regulators that were designed just for the console. By wiring a supplementary voltage regulator to the ‘unregulated voltage’ pins in a console, you can draw directly from the batteries and ’step-up’ that voltage to supply a modification with what it needs. INCLUDED: 1x Voltage Regulator DOCUMENTATION: Pololu 5V Step-Up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator This switching regulator uses the SEPIC topology to produce 5V from input voltages between 2.5V and 18V. The wide input range coupled with its ability to convert both higher and lower input voltages makes it useful for applications where the power supply voltage can vary greatly, as with batteries that start above but discharge below 5V. The compact (0.4″ × 0.575″) module can supply over 400 mA in typical applications. 3.3V Step-Up (Boost) Output voltage: DC 3.3V±2% Output current: Amperage table Input: DC 0.8V ~ 3.3V High efficiency : 95% (usually is 75%-93%) Low ripple and Low noise Ultra-small size: 10mm x 10mm 5V Step-Up (Boost) For: Game Boy Pocket or other consoles running less than 5V. Output voltage: DC 5V±2% Output current: Amperage table Input voltage: DC 1 ~ 5V High efficiency : 95% (usually is 76%-93%) Low Quiescent Current : 13uA Ultra-small size: 10mm x 10mm 5V Step-Up/Step-Down (Buck/Boost) For: Game Boy DMG or other consoles running above 5V. Output voltage: DC 5V±2% Output current: 600mA Input voltage: DC 3 ~ 15V High efficiency: 75% Small size: 19mm x 14m x 4mm 5V with Game Boy Pocket Troubleshooting About Voltage Regulators Voltage regulators can sound intimidating, but they really aren’t - one thing that can help is a primer we wrote which you may want to check out: Voltage Regulators - A Primer
