@ceech I really like this design, however I think it has a problem: According to the datasheet the TPS610986DSET has no feature to disconnect the load at low battery voltages. I think the result will be that e.g. a ESP32 or other power hungry chips will not power up properly. The TPS63031 might therefore be a better fit. btw.: Do you still sell assembled versions of this design? Would you be willing to create a new version with the TPS63031 and probably also with 10 or 20F capacitors or an board to solder your own capacitors. Best regards Tobias

@rozpruwacz said in 3.3v Boost Converter with Pass-Through: Hi, I just came across this project and I like the idea of pass trough very much I have a question, why did You use the LTC3525D part instead of MCP1640C which You already used in other boost converter projects ? MCP1640C is 5 times cheaper than LTC3525D and they are quite similar. I just now revised the board to expose the Enable pin, so now you can do a pass-through if you wish. I also made it more compact and gave it a ground-plane on the back. https://www.openhardware.io/view/279 Enjoy!

Right you are. Live and learn (even at 81), and I even learned a new word -'vias.' Thanks.

@alexsh1 If the pinout is the same, then the PCB should work.

Thanks you a lot for your work
