MT3608 Booster Converter Power Module

Dropping voltage is a relatively easy process, but creating a higher voltage out of a lower voltage almost seems like alchemy. The MT3608 2A Max DC-DC Step-Up Power Module uses a clever boost circuit with an inductor to turn a low input voltage into a usable higher output voltage.

But as any good alchemist (or engineer) knows, there’s always a cost involved: You may get more voltage, but the trade-off is a little less than the proportional output current. That means if you start with an input that has low voltage and a set current ability, you get high voltage and even lower current on the output. Keep this in mind, and you’ll be fine!

This module features the MT3608 2 Amp step-up (boost) converter, which can take input voltages as low as 2V and step up the output to as high as 28V. The MT3608 features automatic shifting to pulse frequency modulation mode at light loads. It includes under-voltage lockout, current limiting, and thermal overload protection.

This module has a multi-turn potentiometer that you can use to adjust the output voltage. Since the potentiometer has 25 turns of adjustment you can easily adjust the output of the module to exactly the voltage you need.
