Product description: S8V9F5 - step-up / step-down converter - 5 V 1.5 A - Pololu 4965
The small step-up/step-down voltage converter module is an efficient regulator that allows you to convert input voltages ranging from 1.4 V to 16 V into a stable output voltage of 5 V. The converter has a typical efficiency of 80% to 90% , which effectively counteracts energy losses. The S8V9F5 can deliver from 1A to 1.5A depending on the input voltage. The device also offers a range of protection functions , such as over-current and over-temperature cut-off, which guarantees a high level of safety and reliability in a variety of operating conditions.
Main features of the converter
- Input voltage range: 1.4V to 16V
- Output voltage: 5V with an accuracy of 4%
- Typical maximum continuous output current: 1 A to 1.5 A, depending on input voltage
- Typical efficiency: 80% to 90%, depending on input voltage and load
- Typical quiescent current below 4 mA, which can be reduced from 10 µA to 15 µA per volt per VIN by turning off the board
- Soft-start function that limits the turn-on current and gradually increases the output voltage at start-up
- Protection against excessive current and overheating
- Input voltage lock
- Energy saving function ensuring high efficiency at low currents
- Compact size: 10.2 x 16.5 x 2.6 mm makes it easy to integrate with various types of boards
Pinouts of the S8V9F5 converter
The converter has through-holes spaced 0.1" apart along the edge of the board, which makes it compatible with standard breadboards and solderless perforated boards and connectors that use a 0.1" mesh. You can connect the wires directly to the board or solder them to the included goldpin strip as needed.
- VOUT - output voltage 5 V
- GND - system ground
- VIN - input voltage from 1.4 V to 16 V
- EN - allows you to control the regulator's operation by setting it to low or high
Applications of the converter
