Functions and Applications of Converters
Converters are indispensable elements of any project where voltage conversion is required. A DC-DC converter module enables the conversion of direct current voltage, adjusting it to the requirements of the powered device. A step-down converter module reduces the input voltage, which is particularly useful in situations where higher supply voltage needs to be adapted to the lower level required by the device.
Conversely, a USB step-up converter module allows for raising the voltage from a lower input level, ideal for powering devices that require higher voltage from USB ports. Miniature modular power supplies offer compact solutions suitable for applications where space is limited, and reliability and efficiency are crucial.
