What this boost converter does on the bench
The ADP1109AAR-3.3 is a fixed 3.3 V output step-up (boost) switching regulator from Analog Devices, built around a 1.2 A internal switch. It takes an input from 2 V up to 9 V.
Ratings that decide the fit
The 1.2 A switch current is the hard ceiling. The 2 V minimum input means it can run from two alkaline cells in series. The 9 V input maximum keeps it off higher-voltage rails.
