MT3608 2A Max DC-DC Step Up Power Module Booster Power Module

1. It’s efficient up to 93%

2. It can source a good amount of current

3. The maximum output current: 2A

4. Input voltage: 2V-24V DC

5. The maximum output voltage: 5V-28V DC

The MT3608 2A Max DC-DC Step Up Power Module Booster Power Module is a low-cost module that can step-up a 2 to 24V input voltage up to a 5 to 28V output at up to 2A.

DC-DC boost converters step up the input voltage to a higher voltage while also stepping down the available current since the module can’t output more power than its inputs.

This boost converter is adjustable and capable of outputting a voltage in the range of 5.0 to 28V at a continuous current of up to 1.5A depending on input/output voltage settings with 1A available with most settings.

Since it is a boost converter, the input voltage must be lower than the output voltage.

The device is able to use low ESR bulk ceramic capacitors rather than electrolytic caps which avoids long-term aging concerns and contributes to the compact packaging.

The MT3608 converter IC has over-current and thermal limiting features built-in to safely shut the device down if driven too hard.

Module Connections

These are compact boards with 4 solder pads for making connections.

1. VIN+ =      Input Voltage

2. VIN- =       Ground

3. VOUT+ = Output Voltage

4. VOUT- =  Ground.  Connected to VIN- on the module.

Features :
