⚠️ The Problem: Power Drop in Battery-Operated Pet Trackers

Pet trackers are often powered by small Li-ion or Li-Po cells (3.7V nominal). But under load, or as the battery discharges, voltage can drop below 3.3V—causing resets or data loss in your GPS/MCU.

🔧 The Solution: Use a Low Dropout Voltage Regulator

To maintain stable output voltage, use a low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator or a DC-DC boost converter. These ensure your tracker receives a steady 3.3V even if your battery dips below its ideal level.

🐶 Practical Example: Saving Your Pet’s Location Data

Imagine your GPS tracker updates location every 5 minutes, but the MCU resets intermittently. After inserting a Made in India LDO regulator, voltage stays stable—even at 3.1V battery levels—ensuring accurate tracking and no data loss.

🔢 Sample Calculation: Choosing the Right Regulator

Let’s say your MCU draws 100mA and you want 3.3V output:

Power Needed = 3.3V × 0.1A = 0.33W

Pick an LDO rated above 150mA and ensure dropout voltage is under 0.3V for best performance.
