Output

• Output Voltage: 3.3V (fixed)
• Max Output Current: up to 3A (peak)
• Recommended Current: 1.5A 2A for stable operation
• Output Interface: Screw terminal (VOUT / GND)

Performance

• Efficiency: Up to 9095%
• Switching Frequency: ~150 kHz (typical)
• Ripple: Low ripple output (suitable for microcontrollers)
• Thermal Protection: Yes
• Overcurrent Protection: Yes

Features

• High-efficiency step-down conversion (better than linear regulators)
• Stable 3.3V output for sensitive electronics
• Onboard power switch (easy control)
• Multiple connection options (terminal + DC jack)
• Compact and easy to integrate

Interface & Pins

• Input: VIN+, VIN-
• Output: VOUT+, VOUT-
• Additional Headers: Breakout pins for easy wiring

Physical

• Form Factor: Compact PCB module
