1.5V battery powers white-LED driver
https://www.electronics-lab.com/1-5v-battery-powers-white-led-driver/
Although white LEDs are common in a variety of lighting applications, their 3 to 4 V forward-voltage drop makes low-voltage applications challenging. Charge pumps and other ICs are available for driving white LEDs, but they generally don’t work with the low supply voltage of 1.5 V in single-cell-battery applications. The low-voltage circuit of Figure 1 provides […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/3v-dacs-used-%c2%b110v-applications/
Boosting DAC’s output to drive larger voltage tackled in this app note from MAXIM Integrated. Many modern systems have the majority of their electronics powered by 3.3V or lower, but must drive external loads with ±10V, a range that is still very common in industrial applications. There are digital to analog converters (DACs) available that […]
