Security available
The device has many security functions that guarantee the safety and stability of its operation. Reverse voltage protection is available and protects against damage when the input voltage is reversely connected, overload and overvoltage protection prevents damage caused by excessive current or voltage, and thermal protection shuts down the regulator in the event of overheating. Additionally, the soft start function limits the starting current, reducing the risk of damage.
S13V25F3 converter pins
The controller has two sets of through holes: five smaller holes arranged at 0.1" intervals along the edge of the board (for compatibility with standard breadboards and connectors using a 0.1" spacing between pins) and four larger holes intended for screw terminals with spacing 3.5mm.
- VOUT - output voltage 3.3 V
- GND - system ground
- VIN - input voltage from 2.8 V to 22 V
- EN - allows you to control the regulator's operation by setting it to low or high
