Our new boost converter also known as “step-up converter” is a DC-to-DC power converter that amplifies the voltage while decreasing down the current from its input (power supply) to its output (load capacity). 

Boost converters or step-up converters are used in many instances from small power supplies where higher voltages may be needed to much higher power requirements.

Highlights:

 Adjustable Voltage: Its DC input voltage is 2-24V and it adjusts to a DC output voltage of 9-26V, please remember that this is a boost module, therefore,  the output voltage must be greater than the input voltage.

 USB Port: Our Micro USB input can be used with the common voltages of 9V, 12V, 15V, 18V, 24V and can be easily obtained through the mobile phone data line with a USB charger or mobile power supply, which is very convenient to use.

 Lower Current Consumption: Its maximum output current 2A, although it is recommended to use within 1A. Please ensure that the peak current output does not exceed 2A

High Efficiency: Its Efficiency is >93%, the efficiency is related to the pressure difference between input and output.

What is a boost or step-up converter?

They are like a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) or a “switching power supply” containing at least a diode, a transistor and at least one energy storage element: a capacitor, inductor, or the two in combination. In other words, the boost converter is used to "step-up" an input voltage to some higher level, required by a load. This unique capability is achieved by storing energy in an inductor and releasing it to the load at a higher voltage.

For high efficiency, the boost converter must be able to be turned on and off quickly and have low losses. The key feature that drives the boost converter is the tendency of an inductor to resist changes in current by either increasing or decreasing the energy stored in the inductor magnetic field. In a boost converter, the output voltage must always be higher than the input voltage.
