This module can be used to convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage with high efficiency and low ripple. The output voltage can be adjusted by turning the on-board potentiometer, and the output current can reach up to 3A with proper heat dissipation. The module also features a low power standby mode, thermal shutdown and current-limit protection, and an input reverse polarity protection diode.
Features:
- Adjustable output voltage from 1.3V to 35V
- Input voltage range from 4V to 40V
- Output current up to 3A (additional heat sink is required for higher current)
- Low power standby mode, typically 80 μA
- Thermal shutdown and current-limit protection
- Input reverse polarity protection diode
- Requires only four external components
- Uses standard inductors
- Fixed-frequency internal oscillator at 150 kHz
- TTL shutdown capability
