For my job I flash microcontrollers on a daily basis. These are located in modules that require 8V-16V to power up. Ususally I have to carry an external power supply to power up the modules and I was looking for a less of a hassel way to do this. It only requires about 500mA at 12V to power the micro up. Is there a way I can step up the 5V output on my computers USB to 12V so I don't need an external power supply? Thanks in advance.
