Introduction
The Spock and Sulu PCBs have voltage regulators so that a 3 V battery can power SCuM, which takes up to 2 V. The voltage regulators have been noisier and less efficient than expected.

1.1V DC-DC | S-85S1AB11-I6T1U | U3 | https://www.ablic.com/en/doc/datasheet/switching_regulator/S85S1A_E.pdf | |
1.8V DC-DC | S-85S1AB18-I6T1U | U2 | https://www.ablic.com/en/doc/datasheet/switching_regulator/S85S1A_E.pdf |
Note that the 1.1V DC-DC converters were missing so 1.0V DC-DC converters were used as a substitute.
