Pololu Adjustable 9-30V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U3V50AHV

Pololu Adjustable 9-30V Step-Up Voltage Regulator U3V50AHV efficiently boosts input voltages as low as 2.9V to a higher, adjustable output voltage between 9V and 30V while allowing an input current as high as 5A. These adjustable boost (step-up) voltage regulators generate higher output voltages from input voltages as low as 2.9V. They are switching regulators (also called switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters) and have a typical efficiency between 80% to 95%.  The available output current is a function of the input voltage, output voltage, and efficiency but the input current can typically be as high as 5 A.

Warning: You should be careful not to use an input voltage that exceeds the output voltage setting.

Note: The trimmer potentiometer is not rated for continual adjustment back and forth; the intended application is to set the output voltage a few times in its life.
