What is it?

The Mini DC-DC Boost Converter Module, designed to transform a 3.7V lithium battery input into adjustable output voltages of 5V, 8V, 9V, or 12V. This versatile boost converter is perfect for a variety of applications, from DIY electronics projects to portable power solutions for your devices. Whether you're powering sensors, microcontrollers, or small motors, this module provides the reliability and performance you need.

Why did you make it?

In today's fast-paced world of electronics, there’s a growing need for compact, efficient power solutions. Many devices require a higher voltage than what standard lithium batteries can provide. Our Mini DC-DC Boost Converter was created to address this need by offering a simple, efficient way to boost voltage while maintaining a small footprint. We understand the challenges hobbyists and engineers face when trying to power their projects, and we aimed to develop a solution that is both user-friendly and highly adaptable.

What makes it special?

Adjustable Output Voltage: This module allows you to easily set your desired output voltage (5V, 8V, 9V, or 12V) by modifying solder pads labeled A and B on the PCB. This flexibility makes it compatible with a wide range of applications, ensuring that you can customize it to fit your specific needs.

Wide Input Voltage Range: With an input voltage range of 2.5V to VOUT, this boost converter is designed to accept various power sources, including 3.7V lithium batteries and even 5V power supplies. Just remember that the input voltage must always be lower than the selected output voltage.

Impressive Output Capacity: When powered by a 3.7V lithium battery, the module can output up to 1A at 5V, 0.5A at 8V, 0.45A at 9V, and 0.3A at 12V. When using a 5V input, it can provide 0.7A at both 8V and 9V, and 0.5A at 12V. This makes it ideal for driving various loads without compromising performance.

Low Power Consumption: The module has been designed to minimize power consumption. With the LED indicator on, it draws only about 1mA of current. If the indicator is turned off, the quiescent current can drop to less than 1mA when idle. This efficiency helps extend the life of your batteries and reduce unnecessary power waste.

User-Friendly Design: The PCB layout has been carefully engineered for ease of use. Users can easily adjust the output voltage using standard soldering techniques. This makes it accessible for both beginners and experienced engineers.

LED Indicator: The built-in LED indicator provides a visual confirmation of power, ensuring you know your module is functioning correctly. This small but significant feature enhances usability, especially in troubleshooting scenarios.

Compatibility and Use Cases

This Mini DC-DC Boost Converter Module is compatible with various applications including:

Arduino Projects: Perfect for powering Arduino boards or other microcontrollers that require a higher voltage.

Portable Devices: Ideal for battery-powered devices that need consistent voltage output, enhancing portability.

LED Lighting: Can be used in LED strips or other lighting applications where higher voltages are necessary.

Robotics: Provides a reliable power source for sensors and motors in robotic applications.

DIY Electronics: A must-have for any electronics enthusiast looking to create custom power solutions. Design Philosophy

Our design philosophy revolves around simplicity, efficiency, and adaptability.
