Boost Converter Module

---

Description

The Boost converter module is available in both a 5 volt and a 12 volt version. It is an easy and reliable "plug and play" solution to boost from 3V to 5V or to 12V. The Boost converter has been designed with heat dissapation in mind. The picture below displays the Thermal Image of the boost converter taken after 3 hours of operation. The input voltage was at 3 volts with an output voltage of 5 volts at 3 amperes (15watts).It can be seen that the temperature of the components remain in a perfectly usable range even without heatsinks.

Application

• Great for stepping up single lithium ion battery voltages from 3.7 volts to a more usable 5 volts (For 5 volt module version).
• Great for stepping up single lithium ion battery voltages from 3.7 volts to 12 volts (For 12 volt module version).

Features

• Provides stable power.
• High efficiency power conversion from 85% to 95%.
• High current capability, up to 3 amperes for 5 volt version and 1 ampere for 12 volt version.
• Regulated output voltage, 5.2 volts for 5 volt version and 12 volts for 12 volt version.
• Low noise and output ripple, 20mV at 2 amperes.
• Output over current protection.
