A compact DC-DC Step-UP (boost) converter that boosts the voltage from 2-24 V to 2-28 V. Suitable for applications where a stable higher V is needed from a lower battery voltage, such as LEDs, sensors, micro-controllers, audio modules, or any other 5-24 V accessories. Maximum output current – 2 A(depending on input voltage and set output voltage).
Key benefits
- Wide input: operating from 2 V – suitable for small Li-ion, NiMH, lead acid packs, USB step-up scenarios.
- Adjustable output voltage: 2-28 V (potentiometer).
- Up to 2 A output current – sufficient for most 5-24 V electronics and LED solutions.
- Versatile applications: prototypes (DIY), e-mobility accessories, telemetry.
Specifications
- Type: DC-DC Boost (Step-UP)
- Input voltage: 2-24 V DC
- Output voltage: 2-28 V DC, adjustable
- Max. Output current: 2 A (real power limited by input voltage and efficiency)
- Protection: batch dependent (fuse at input recommended)
- Control: potentiometer for output voltage
Use of
- LEDs and strips (with a resistor/driver suitable for the current).
- Microcontrollers, sensors, communication modules (5-12-24 V).
- Audio/low power equipment, gauges, fans.
- Laboratory/prototype feeding experiments.
Installation tips
- First set the output voltage without load, then connect the load.
- Observe polarity; use a fuse (e.g. 2-3 A) at the input.
- Ensure cooling – higher flow rates will require better heat dissipation.
- Use cables of sufficient cross-section, especially at low input voltages.
FAQ
Can I raise 5 V to 12 V 1 A?
Yes, if the input is capable of delivering sufficient power (P≈Uin×Iin > Uout×Iout/power). For low input voltages the current at the input will be higher.
Is it suitable for a 24 V output?
Yes, it is adjustable up to 28 V. Make sure the load does not exceed 2 A and the wattage matches.
Can it charge a battery?
No – it’s a voltage converter, not a charger. Charging batteries requires a special charger.
