Is your supply voltage too low to keep your components happy? Step it up with this DC-DC converter from Traco Power. The unit takes inputs between 4.5 and 5.5V DC and delivers a dual output of ±12V DC. You'll find this handy for serial ports, PCI slots and sound cards, as well as integrated circuits. A high isolation voltage of 1,500V DC keeps your input and output apart, so you can be sure the converter works safely and reliably. It comes in a SIP-7 format, so you'll have no trouble mounting it onto a standard PCB.
