This DC-DC step-down converter module is engineered for reliable power conversion with impressive efficiency. Accepting a broad input voltage range from 6V to 24V, it ensures a consistent 5V output while supporting up to 16A of current. Notable attributes include over-temperature protection, capable of withstanding up to 125°C, output short circuit protection, and an output ripple noise confined to less than 20mV. Delivering conversion efficiency over 90% under typical conditions with a 12V input and a 1-16A load, this module offers robust and stable power supply solutions. It seamlessly integrates into various applications such as multiple motor or servo control in robotics, high-power LED lighting systems, automotive electronics, and smart devices like robots or drones.
With its high efficiency and low ripple, the step-down converter module is adept at minimizing energy loss, achieving more than 90% efficiency. The exceedingly low output ripple noise of below 20mV ensures it is apt for sensitive electronics and precision-based applications.
Robust protection mechanisms are a central feature, with the module equipped with safeguarding measures like over-temperature protection and output short-circuit protection. Such features ensure reliable operation, even in adverse conditions, and protect both the module and connected devices from potential harm.
Enhanced heat dissipation is facilitated by a thermal pad on the module's back, which can be soldered to a larger copper area. This construction increases cooling efficiency, guaranteeing performance stability during extended high-current operations.
The module comes with three essential control pins. The EN pin enables or disables the output when linked to a microcontroller's IO pin through a 1K resistor. AGND provides a dedicated ground point for controlling via a microcontroller. The PGOOD pin signals a high level (5V) when the output voltage is within normal ranges and drops to a low level (0V) during abnormal or short-circuit conditions.
