XL6009 DC-DC Step-Up Power Converter Module 4A
⚙️ XL6009 DC‑DC Step‑Up (Boost) Converter Module – 4 A
Overview
The XL6009 module is a high-frequency switching boost converter that steps up DC voltage from 3–32 V (input) to 5–35 V (adjustable output), with a max current capability of 4 A (peak) and ~2.5 A continuous. Built around the XL6009E1 buck‑boost chip, it delivers high efficiency (up to 94%) using compact components and supports wide-ranging applications in DIY, power supplies, and battery-powered electronics
Input: 3–32 V DC
Output: 5–35 V DC, adjustable via potentiometer
Max output current: 4 A peak, rated for ~2.5 A
Efficiency up to 94%, switching at 400 kHz
Built-in protections: over-current, thermal shutdown, soft-start
Compact PCB (~45 × 21 mm) with ON/OFF enable pin
