## Description

The SparkFun BabyBuck Regulator Breakout delivers a regulated 5V output from a 6–32V input in an ultra-compact 0.63" × 0.52" form factor. Based on the AP63357 synchronous buck converter from Diodes Inc., it provides up to 3.5A continuous output with high efficiency, integrated MOSFETs, and comprehensive protection circuitry. With just four PTH pins (VIN, GND, VOUT, EN), the board is easy to integrate into any project. The enable pin supports up to 32V for direct battery-level control, and a copper pad on the back accommodates a heat sink for sustained high-current operation. Key Features Regulated 5V Output – From 6V to 32V input range Up to 3.5A Output – 3A recommended without active cooling Ultra-Compact – 0.63" × 0.52" PCB with 0.1" spaced PTH pins High Efficiency – Up to 86% at 5 mA light load (PFM mode) 22 µA Quiescent Current – Excellent for battery-powered applications Enable Pin – High-voltage EN rated up to 32V with precision UVLO threshold Heat Sink Pad – 0.5" × 0.6" plated copper pad on the back 450 kHz Switching Frequency – With frequency spread spectrum for EMI reduction Pin Configuration VIN – Power input (6V to 32V) GND – Common ground VOUT – Regulated 5V output EN – Enable (pull high to enable output) Protection Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) Output undervoltage protection (UVP) Cycle-by-cycle peak current limit Thermal shutdown Note: While the AP63357 is rated for 3.5A, expect a practical maximum of 3A due to thermal constraints. Achieving 3.5A requires active cooling.
