Product Details
This remarkable DC-DC step-down converter module is engineered to efficiently transform a high input voltage (15 - 24V) into a stable 12V output, capable of supporting up to 12A of current. It boasts an outstanding conversion efficiency of over 95%, along with minimal ripple noise of under 50mV, making it an ideal choice for power-sensitive applications. Built-in protection features like over-temperature protection up to 125°C and short circuit protection ensure the safety of both the module and connected devices. With a 24V input and a 1 - 12A load, it achieves over 95% efficiency, reducing energy loss and providing reliable power conversion. The built-in thermal pad enhances heat dissipation when soldered to a larger copper area, ensuring excellent performance under heavy loads. It has three control pins: EN to enable or disable the output, AGND for microcontroller control, and PGOOD to indicate output voltage status. This converter is perfect for robotics, high-power LED lighting, drones, and automotive electronics. Specification details include an input voltage of DC 15 - 24V, an output voltage of DC 12V ±1%, a max output current of 12A, and more. The shipping list includes one DC-DC Buck Converter (15 - 24V to 12V/12A).
Using this DC-DC step-down converter is easy. First, make sure the input voltage is within the 15 - 24V range. Connect the converter according to the pin diagram. To enable the output, leave the EN pin floating; to disable it, connect it to the ground. If you're using a microcontroller, connect a single ground point to the AGND pad. When the output voltage is normal, the PGOOD pin will output a high level (5V); otherwise, it will output a low level (0V). Remember to operate the converter within the -25°C to +70°C temperature range. Avoid overloading the converter, as the max output current is 12A. For maintenance, keep the converter clean and dry. Check for any signs of overheating regularly, especially when operating under heavy loads. If the converter gets too hot, ensure proper heat dissipation by using the built-in thermal pad on a larger copper area.
