I would like to use a Li-ion battery with a Mini2440, which means I can probably get about 3.7V (the cellular modem module I plan on using has built-in Li-ion charging capability). It doesn't look like anything really needs full 5V on the Mini2440 board itself, just the speaker and the USB host port. If I only plan on using the USB host port for the Wifi adapter, does the Wifi adapter need 5V minimum to operate? Or would it work with 3.7V unregulated? What about 3.3V regulated?
USB Wifi with 3.7V
just make dc to dc converter for 3.7v lithium ion battery or use two batteries in series along with switch mode lm2576 regulator best regards Mohazzab Javed moh_bim@yahoo.com for further information please feel free to email me
