Mikroelektronika MIKROE-2997 Buck 8 Click Board - Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter 4A

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-2997):

The MIKROE-2997 Buck 8 Click Board is a high-efficiency, wide voltage range, and high current synchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC converter, featuring two enhanced modes for driving lighter loads with increased efficiency. The output voltage is adjustable via the multi-turn trimmer potentiometer. Since the output voltage is set mechanically, it retains the set value even after a restart. Very high efficiency results in reduced power dissipation, allowing reasonably high power delivery to the load connected to the output terminal. Internal feedback compensation across the whole voltage range enables a lower number of external components. The Buck 8 Click Board uses the MAX17536, a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with internal compensation, from Maxim Integrated. The MAX17536 is an advanced integrated step-down converter, capable of delivering reasonably high current, up to 4A. The input voltage range is between 5V and 45V. It should remain approximately 10% above the desired output voltage. This means the output voltage ranges from 0.9V up to 0.9 x Vin, where Vin is the input voltage.
