A full round up of switched mode buck converter voltage (and current) regulator modules. From the very simple (and very cheap) LM2596 based units to the advanced ZXY6005 power supply modules.

    i ve a battery in 36v 20ah, i ve a 12v dc 600w 52amp motor (for boat). the question is: if i use a step down power can i use this battery for have much ah? in theory 36×20 720ah. is correct?
    thx for response.

    These blue trimmers sucks as they always get bad after few terms

    One of things I've noticed with the advent of cheap Chinese buck converter boards is that it is no longer cost effective for me to build a linear regulator. I can take a transformer, bridge rectifier and a couple of capacitors and then attached a converter board of the correct current rating and remote its adjusting pot off board

    can I get a schematic for the current + voltage regulator ? I got the parts.

    Hey Julian – first ill like to thank your for all your great videos 🙂

    second i have a little question i think you maybe have the answar for.

    i´m building a mobile musik box
    for this i ofcouse need a amplifier
    i ended up buying a sure electronics board with a STA508 chip (2x100w at 4Ω)
    who is rated for 12-30volts. and im wondering
    can i use a boost converter to boost my 12v batteri pack to 24-27volts? – or are boost converters not good for amp

    it uses max around 4-5 amp at 24v acording to my measurement, at peak

    kind regards
    from denmark

    What is your experience with fakes? I have seen vids of people probing the frequency and discovering fakes or at least lesser chips.

    Hi Julian, have you taken a look at the icsa004a? It's only $1USD each. I have order five, but few of them do not work, so I'm wondering if you know why? the components look good from microscope.
