## Description

This tiny DC-DC buck-boost converter automatically steps voltage up or down to deliver a stable 5 V output from a 3–15 V input. About the size of a coin (17 × 13 mm), it's ideal for embedding in projects where space is tight and a reliable 5 V supply is needed. With a maximum output current of 600 mA, up to 85% conversion efficiency, and a quiescent current of just 180 µA, this module suits battery-powered and portable applications. Key Features Automatic Buck-Boost – Steps up or down to maintain 5 V output Wide Input Range – 3–15 V DC Stable 5 V Output – ±0.1 V accuracy, <50 mV ripple 600 mA Peak Output – Sufficient for microcontrollers and sensors Ultra-Compact – Just 17 × 13 mm Low Quiescent Current – 180 µA no-load draw Specifications Input Voltage: 3–15 V DC Output Voltage: 5 V (±0.1 V) Max Output Current: 600 mA (peak) Output Ripple: <50 mV (Vpp) Quiescent Current: 180 µA Max Efficiency: ~85% Operating Temperature: −40 to +85 °C Dimensions: 17 × 13 mm Service Life: 30,000 hours Isolation: Non-isolated Pinout Vi+ – Power supply input (3–15 V DC) Vi− – Input ground Vo+ – 5 V output Vo− – Output ground Ideal For DIY power banks and portable power supplies Microcontroller and sensor power regulation Battery-powered projects (single-cell Li-ion to 12 V) Warning: Do not exceed 15 V input or sustain 600 mA output for extended periods, as this may reduce module life or cause damage. For higher load currents, increase the minimum input voltage to ensure stable operation.
