Description
Mini 5 V USB Boost Converter, 500–600 mA
This compact boost-converter module accepts a low DC input and provides a 5 V output through its USB port. The source description mentions powering 5 V devices or circuits and use with batteries, but this module is a voltage converter, not a complete battery charger: use a separate charger designed for the battery chemistry. Available output current depends on input voltage and source capability; verify the requirements of the connected device.
Specifications
- Input voltage: 0.9–5 V DC
- Control method: mini PFM control
- Output voltage: 5 V DC
- Output current: 500–600 mA (as specified by the source)
- Maximum stated conversion efficiency: 96%
- Form factor: compact
- Output connector: USB
Use a stable input supply capable of delivering the required current, observe polarity, and check the module’s temperature under load. Do not connect a battery directly for charging without a chemistry-specific charging circuit.
