Getting Started

Prerequisites

To use this development module, you will need:

  • A DC power supply (3.5 V to 28 V)
  • Load device (up to 3 A)
  • Multimeter or oscilloscope for measurements
  • Soldering equipment (if customization of output voltage is needed)

Installation

  1. Connect the Power Supply: Connect the positive terminal of your DC power supply to the VIN pin and the negative terminal to the GND pin of the module.
  2. Connect the Load: Connect your load device between the VOUT pin and GND pin of the module.

Usage

  1. Adjust Output Voltage: The output voltage can be adjusted by selecting appropriate values for the feedback resistors (R1 and R2). Refer to the datasheet for the resistor calculation formula.
  2. Monitoring: Use a multimeter or oscilloscope to monitor the output voltage and current.
  3. Optimization: Fine-tune the switching frequency and compensation network as required for your application.
