The XL4016 DC-DC Adjustable Buck Converter is a high-power step-down voltage regulator designed to convert a higher DC input voltage into a lower, adjustable DC output. Based on the XL4016 switching regulator, this module operates at a fixed 180kHz switching frequency and provides adjustable output voltage for various electronics and power supply applications.
With an adjustable output range of 1.25V to 36V DC and an input range of 8V to 40V DC, it is suitable for DIY power supplies, battery charging circuits, LED driver projects and electronic equipment.
The onboard adjustment potentiometer allows users to set the required output voltage. The module also provides current limiting and protection features as specified for this board.
