The TPS61252DSGR from Texas Instruments is a compact, high-efficiency 1.5-A boost converter designed for battery-powered systems that require stable and efficient voltage step-up.  

Operating from 2.3 V to 6.0 V, it supports output voltages up to 6.5 V and features a programmable input current limit, allowing designers to fine-tune current draw for both performance and system protection. 

With a 3.25 MHz switching frequency, integrated Power Good indicator, load disconnect, reverse current blocking, and ultra-low quiescent current, the TPS61252DSGR is optimised for portable applications such as USB-powered devices, low-power embedded systems, RF modules, audio products, and battery-operated consumer electronics. 

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this boost converter a reliable and efficient choice for modern power systems. 

Electronic waste (e-waste) is a growing global problem, with over 50 million tonnes generated annually, and only 20% is recycled correctly.  

The CYUSB3314-88LTXIT from Infineon (previously Cypress Semiconductors) is a high-speed, multi-port USB 3.0 hub controller that supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectivity simultaneously. Part of the Cypress HX3 family, it enables low-power, high-bandwidth USB expansion for consumer electronics, embedded systems, and industrial applications. 

The SBAW56WT1G from ON Semiconductor is a compact, automotive-grade dual switching diode designed for high-speed signal routing, clamping, and protection in space-restricted circuit designs. With a common-anode configuration, fast switching behaviour, and low capacitance, it ensures clean, reliable signal performance across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. 

Qualified to AEC-Q101, this diode is engineered for long-term reliability in harsh operating environments. Its miniature SC-70/SOT-323 package reduces board footprint without compromising electrical performance, making it ideal for dense PCB layouts. 

Let’s take a closer look at what makes the SBAW56WT1G a dependable choice for modern electronic systems. 

The AMAP31KK-KCR from Ambiq Micro is a highly efficient System-on-Chip (SoC) built around a 96 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4F processor. Part of the Apollo3 Blue family, it combines exceptional processing power with ultra-low energy consumption, delivering the performance of an advanced microcontroller at a fraction of the typical power draw.
