Planning on building a Skeptical Boost?

[Kroars]

Seems the converter needed for this build (IAB0105D12) is now obsolete. I did happen to notice Newark had 20+ of them in stock now for under $3 a piece. If you’re planning on building one of these, maybe a good idea to pick one up.

I’m finishing one today. I got the part from mouser. I read somewhere when I was building it that this could be used in it’s place.
Here’s the link


I usually buy everything I need from Tayda and anything “hard to find” from mouser or stomp box parts.

That’s a different part number. Good to know, if that one works! Thanks.

Just looking at the data sheet, looks like they’re a direct match
aside from the max operating temps.

Was thinking of getting this and CRAMMING it in with the Buffer buff-like-thinger — Euna what I mean.






Never gets old. For me.

This was probably beaten to death in one of those threads, but what is the advantage to this thing over a charge pump plus voltage divider (or something like a TLE2426 rail splitter)?

Price wise it's cheaper to go with the pump and some resistors, probably a wash if you use the rail splitter instead. This thing needs to regulate the 9v down to 5v first so that's more complexity on top.

Complete isolation between the pre-regulated power and signal circuits, allowing any power supply to be used.

Same manufacturer, slightly worse specs but it won't matter for our purposes. Seems like a good fit. There probably are other DC-DC converters by different manufacturers with specs even closer to the obsolete part available, maybe even cheaper. Would have to compare datasheets. In other words, no need to panic buy remaining stock
