DC to DC Converter Modules

DC-DC converter modules are electronic circuits that convert a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. They are widely used in power supplies for efficient voltage transformation.

Types

• Buck: Step-down converter
• Boost: Step-up converter
• Buck-Boost: Step-up/step-down
• Isolated (e.g., Flyback, Forward): Provide galvanic isolation

Key Parameters

• Input Voltage Range: e.g., 5V, 12V, 24V
• Output Voltage: Fixed or adjustable
• Efficiency: Typically 80–95%
• Max Output Current: Depends on design and heatsinking
• Package: SIP, DIP, SMD modules

Common Applications

Embedded systems, industrial controls, battery-powered devices, telecom, automotive, and IoT.

Note: Always check thermal management, input filtering, and layout for stable operation.
