Depends on which implementation ...

Original Maximite 7-15 volt DC plug pack as it has both a 3.3v & a 5v regulator on board

The miniMaximite 3.3v DC but it doesn't have a regulator on board

Then there are a number of other implementations which you will need to check their individual requirements but I would say if it runs USB then it will need 5v & 3.3v and if no USB then it will only need 3.3v but also check if they have regulators and if they do then a slightly higher voltage (+2.0v).

Check the specifications on each product to be sure. And the higher the voltage over the +2.0v then the need for a heatsink on the regulator.
