1. Technical description
The step down converter DC/DC 5A (DC/DC50SD) is used for step down the input voltage from the range between 8V÷28V
DC to the voltage range of 4,5V÷24V DC at the output, adjusted with the V
ADJ
potentiometer. The maximum load current is Imax=5A
(Pmax = 60W). The 2V difference between the input (lowered) and output voltage is required for the proper operation of the converter.
The module does not feature galvanic isolation between input/output (IN-AUX) and operates on common "ground" (0V) potential (IN-
and AUX- terminals are galvanically connected = common terminal).
