LM2596 2A Buck Step-down Power Converter Module

LM2596 overview

This is LM2596 2A Buck Step-down Power Converter Module DC 4 ~ 40 to 1.3 ~ 37V, it comes with a built-in voltmeter display and uses an advanced microcontroller.

Together with its high precision multi-turn potentiometer, this means any desired output voltage within its supply range can be set without the need for an external voltage meter. The module also boasts a very high operating range with a DC input supply range of 4 ~ 40V and an adjustable output range of 1.3 ~ 37V.

Output voltage calibration steps:

Step 1: Adjust the right button so that the “OUT” LED is lighted, and the voltmeter shows the value of output voltage; Press the right button for more than 2 seconds, release, the voltmeter, and the “OUT” LED flashes in synchronization so that you enter the output voltage calibration mode.

Step 2: Press the right button (normal speed), the voltage value is adding up a unit; Press the left button, minus a unit; Due to a unit is less than 0.1V, the minimum voltage display to 0.1V, so you need to continuously press 1-5 times to see the voltmeter change 0.1V, how many times voltmeter change 0.1V by pressing the key, depending on the current display voltage, the higher the voltage, the fewer the number of press.

Step 3: Press the right button for more than 2 seconds, and release, it to exit the output voltage calibration mode. All parameters are set to automatically power down to save.
