DCDC Drop Boost 8A LTC3780 Step Up Down Regulator Power Module Stable voltage output: This LTC3780based DCDC module maintains a constant output voltage as the input varies, ensuring reliable operation for sensitive loads and reducing the risk of device wear from voltage fluctuations. Under voltage protection: The module automatically cuts power when the input voltage falls below a defined threshold, helping prevent damage to connected devices and electrical faults. Short circuit protection: Builtin shortcircuit protection guards both the module and connected equipment against faults, enhancing safety and reliability. Wide input and output range: Supports an input range of 5V to 32V DC and delivers an adjustable output from 1V to 30V DC, enabling use across a broad set of applications and power sources. Key specifications and features Current rating: up to 8A continuous output Regulation: Step Up and Step Down operation to accommodate varying input conditions Compatible with 5V–32V input sources and 1V–30V adjustable output loads Designed to protect connected devices with undervoltage and shortcircuit protections Suitable for applications requiring stable voltage from fluctuating sources 23 practical use scenarios Automotive power applications: Convert a 12V or 24V vehicle electrical system to a stable 5V or 9V rail for microcontrollers, sensors, USBpowered devices, or small displays, while automatically protecting against voltage dips and faults. Offgrid and portable power: From 5V to 32V input sources such as batteries or solar setups, regulate to a stable 3.3V, 5V, or other required output to run embedded systems, LED drivers, or charging circuits. Bench and hobby projects: Use as a versatile power module to power development boards, sensors, or test rigs from a single adjustable supply, ensuring consistent performance even when the input varies. Notes The module handles both stepping up and stepping down voltage, providing flexible regulation for diverse power sources. Protection features help safeguard connected devices in the event of low input voltage or short circuits.
