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.
