I'm trying to get rid of the spare components I have for the SqueezeAMP so I'm manually building a few. I've decided to make only "Boost" version, as I can more easily have PCBWay do another batch of the "Basic" one day.
So I have 2 available now. A quick reminder for the Boost
- Charges 3 battery cells (0.5A charge rate)=> it supplies the AMP at ~12V from battery
- It include a voltage buck/booster to up the supplied power to the 16V needed to charge the 3 cells, so you can power it with any Vcc starting from 5V, it will still charge batteries (remember that drained current on Vcc is 0.5*16/Vcc more - e.g - ~3.5x more for 5V ~2A)
- As a consequence, recommended and consistent Vcc should be 12V which is ideal for the TAS power/heat ratio when you plug/unplug it
- You can go Vcc up to 20V, although I don' recommend it
- There are a few extra components so cost to me is ~70USD
- I've not built as many, so some issues with the buck/boost circuit might still exist
- They are in nice white PCB
- Let me know if you want one, but please be kind with others: there is no need to take a boost if you don't plan to use battery and want optimized Vcc/Battery power and use that all at 12V
