TPS63036V01

Highly efficient buck-boost converter module (TPS63036V01) for stable power output in portable and low-power devices.

This is an open-source hardware design, one of the modules from the MLAB labolatory system.

TPS63036V01 - TPS63036-Based buck-boost converter

The TPS63036V01 module is a highly efficient, single-inductor, buck-boost converter designed to provide a stable output voltage from varying input voltages. It integrates the Texas Instruments TPS63036 chip, making it suitable for applications requiring a compact, efficient power solution.
