Important Alert: these DC-DC Converters have a high ripple voltage under most loads. I would not recommend this converter for use as a general purpose electronics power supply or for “sensitive” loads, don’t go using this directly as a USB supply. They will be fine for LED driving, driving resistive loads, motors, solenoids, maybe battery charging (but I’d be hesitant to use with Lithium Ion maybe), but probably should not be used to power electronics directly.
This device will automatically Buck (Step Down) or Boost (Step Up) to maintain the same output voltage regardless of input voltage. Also known as a SEPIC converter. For example, set 12v on the output and it doesn’t matter if the input swings from 7v to 30v the output will stay at 12v.
Because of this special automatic operation it could be especially suited to running off a small say 12v solar panel which could have a voltage that swings significantly less than 12v and more than 12v.
I’m not going to fully characterise this device, just some basic stats.
Input voltage: 7 to 32v (do not use less than 7v input)
Output voltage: 2v to 25v (do not use less than 2v)
Max Output current: 2A to 3A (but attention to output power below)
Max Output power: 10W
Current Limit: adjustable from about 40mA up to 3A
The device has a green LED to indicate when the current being drawn is 10% or less of the current limit, this is usually used to indicate “charged” when charging batteries (ie, set current limit to 1A then the green LED will turn on when the batteries are “charged”)
