I hadn't given it any thought.  I saw some ad that said 1.5 volts so I assumed 
that.  But, after looking through the datasheet I see an  efficiency figure of  
73 percent for the adjustable one, so that does imply a need for about 20.5 
volts.  OTOH, it says the feedback voltage is 1.23V, so I dunno.  And I'm 
certainly not pretending I have any electrical design skills.   I'll find out.  
=)
