Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What output voltages does the DC-DC MINI560 step-down module support?

A: The MINI560 supports four selectable output voltages: 3.3V, 5V, 9V, and 12V. This makes it versatile for powering a wide variety of electronics components and microcontroller boards from a single DC input source.

Q: What is the maximum continuous output current of the MINI560 voltage regulator?

A: The MINI560 can deliver up to 4A continuous output current (5A peak). For sustained operation above 4A (or above 3A depending on the configuration), additional heat dissipation — such as a heatsink or active cooling — is recommended to ensure stable, long-term performance.

Q: What input voltage range is compatible with the MINI560 step-down module?

A: The module accepts input voltages between 5.5V and 20V DC. A minimum voltage differential of 2V between input and selected output voltage is required for proper regulation (e.g., to output 5V, your input should be at least 7V).

Q: Is the MINI560 module isolated or non-isolated?

A: The MINI560 is a non-isolated buck (step-down) converter. It shares a common ground between input and output, which is standard for most DIY electronics and embedded systems applications. If galvanic isolation is required for your project, an isolated DC-DC converter should be used instead.
