Adafruit Qwiic Level Booster - VIN: 3V, VOUT: 5V
If you're adopting the Qwiic / Stemma QT standard but need 5V power or logic, the Adafruit Qwiic Level Booster is your solution. It elevates 3V power and logic from your Raspberry Pi or ARM Cortex microcontroller to 5V, ideal for older or high-power devices. Compatible with ESP32, ATSAMD chips, RP2040 boards, and micro:bits, it supports up to 100mA continuous (250mA peak) via a 5V charge-pump boosting regulator. With level shifting circuitry, it ensures safe I2C traffic at 5V. Additionally, it features a solder jumper for unshifted 3V output and includes breadboard breakout pins for versatility.
