G'day all
Any suggestions on some cheap (~$2 max), SIMPLE (SOT, SOIC, MSOP etc)
buck/boosts for 3.3V and 5V?
I've got the TI TPS63001 (3.3V) and TPS63002 (5V), but they are proving to
be a real pain for someone who isn't an electrical engineer!  Seems the
PCB layout needs to be extremely specific, but on top of that the actual
physical design is a real pain to work with to ensure no bridging (3x3mm
QFN-10, leads completely under the package).

Any comparable buck/boosts that are a bit more forgiving in layout and
soldering?  Say 300mA+ output, input voltage about 3.0V - 4.3V (5V an
advantage).  An enable pin would also be preferable to shut it down (5V in
particular).  For running a PIC project off a single li-ion cell.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated
Lee
