AnyVolt Micro Voltage Converter AnyVolt Micro is a miniature step-up / step-down switching DC-DC converter. The output is adjustable from 2.6V to 14V and currents up to 0.5A can be drawn. AnyVolt Micro is useful when you need to step from a lower voltage to a higher voltage, or when your input voltage occasionally dips below the output voltage. The output voltage is set with a small screw potentiometer on the side of the AnyVolt Micro. Once the output voltage is set, it does not matter whether input voltage is higher, lower, or the same as the desired output i.e. there is no dropout voltage. The AnyVolt Micro is pin-compatible with the common 78XX series of linear voltage regulators, so it will work with breadboards and other popular prototyping methods. specifications Performance: 2.6V to 14V output voltage range 2.6V to 14V input voltage range 0.5A max input or output current at < 10V <50mV typical ripple No external components needed Protective features: Overcurrent protection Thermal (overheating) protection Shorted output protection Applications: Lab work and prototyping Powering 9V and 12V video transmitters Powering small audio amplifiers Driving multiple LEDs in series Backlit LCD drive Solar powered applications High power crystal based radio transmitters Battery powered applications Renewable energy source applications Universal battery charger Powering things from two AA batteries Powering things from a single lithium cell USB powered devices Price: (USD) $26.10 Shipping from: $1.76 In stock now
