Manwal ta' Istruzzjoni tal-Modulu tal-Konvertitur tal-Provvista tal-Enerġija YOUMILE Step-Down DC-DC 12-24V għal 5V 3A

1. Introduzzjoni

This manual provides detailed instructions for the Youmile Mini DC-DC Step-Down Power Supply Converter Module. This module efficiently converts a higher DC input voltage (4.5-24V) to a lower, stable DC output voltage (0.8-17V adjustable or fixed). It is designed for various electronic applications requiring a compact and reliable power conversion solution.

3.2 Vol. Outputtage Għażla

Il-modulu joffri żewġ metodi biex jiġi ssettjat il-volum tal-ħruġtage: adjustable via a potentiometer or fixed via solder pads on the back of the board.

Output Aġġustabbli Voltage (0.8V - 17V)

1. By default, the module is configured for adjustable output.
2. Connect your input voltage to IN+ and GND.
3. Use a small precision screwdriver (approx. 2mm blade width) to carefully turn the multi-turn potentiometer (located on the top side, see Figure 2) to achieve the desired output voltage.
4. Monitora l-output voltage with a multimeter connected to VO+ and GND.

Output fiss Voltage (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 9V, 12V)

Biex tuża volum ta' ħruġ fisstage, modifications to the PCB are required. This process disables the adjustable potentiometer and activates one of the pre-set voltage outputs.

1. Identify the 'ADJ' pad and the fixed voltage pads (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V, 9V, 12V) on the bottom of the module (Figure 3).
2. The adjustable potentiometer is active by default. To disable it and enable a fixed voltage, you must carefully cut the PCB trace connecting the 'ADJ' pad to the potentiometer circuit. This trace is typically a very thin line around the 'ADJ' pad. Use a sharp scalpel or hobby knife for this.
3. Once the 'ADJ' trace is cut, solder a bridge across the two pads of your desired fixed voltage (e.g., for 5V output, solder across the 5V pads).
4. Verify the modification with a multimeter before connecting any load.

Caution: Modifying the PCB requires precision and can damage the module if not performed correctly. Proceed with care.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Once the module is correctly wired and the output voltage is set, apply the DC input voltage within the specified range (4.5V to 24V). The module will then provide the set output voltage at VO+ and GND.

• Tiżgura l-input voltage is always higher than the desired output voltage for proper step-down operation.
• Do not exceed the maximum output current of 3A. Exceeding this limit can lead to overheating and damage.
• For continuous operation, connect the EN (Enable) pin to IN+. If you wish to control the module's on/off state, apply a high signal (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) to EN for ON, and a low signal (GND) for OFF.

5. Manutenzjoni

The Youmile DC-DC converter module is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Keep the module clean and free from dust and moisture. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside its operating range.

• Regularly inspect solder joints for integrity.
• Ensure adequate ventilation if operating at higher currents or in enclosed spaces to prevent overheating.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

• Nru Vol. Outputtage:
  • Iċċekkja l-input voltage presence and polarity.
  • Verify EN pin connection (should be high or connected to IN+ for operation).
  • Tiżgura l-input voltage is within the 4.5V-24V range and is higher than the desired output voltage.
  • Inspect solder connections for continuity.
• Volum tal-Ħruġ Mhux Korretttage:
  • If using adjustable mode, carefully re-adjust the potentiometer.
  • If using fixed mode, ensure the 'ADJ' trace is properly cut and the correct fixed voltage pads are bridged. Refer to Section 3.2.
  • Check for any accidental short circuits on the output.
• Tisħin żejjed tal-Modulu:
  • Reduce the load current; ensure it does not exceed 3A.
  • Provide better ventilation or consider a heatsink if operating continuously at high loads.
• No Input Reverse Connection Protection: This module does NOT have input reverse polarity protection. Connecting the input with reversed polarity will damage the module. Always double-check polarity before applying power.
• Protezzjoni ta' Short Circuit tal-Ħruġ: The module includes output short circuit protection. However, prolonged short circuits are not recommended and can still cause damage.
