SparkFun adds to the collection of useful breakout boards with a non-isolated, 6A DC-to-DC Converter Module. The module can convert any DC voltage between 4.5-14VDC to a selectable voltage between 0.59 and 5.5VDC.

Set the desired voltage with a resistor between the Trim and GND pins – that’s it. For example, to get a 5V output, use a 1.34kΩ resistor. Use a 2.2kΩ to get approximately 3.3V. All details are in the module’s datasheet.

For added convenience, you can toggle the power via the board’s ON/OFF pin (high=on, low=off)

Just add your resistor, and you’re converting DC!

Features:

• 4.5-14V Input voltage
• 0.59V-5.5VDC Regulated output
• 6A max output current
• Low output ripple and noise
• -40C to 85C operating temperatures
• All pins of converter module broken out to 0.1″ headers
