Voltage spike on shutdown, not start up.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2016I didn't bother to test efficiency, but my volt meter says that it has a stable output. Returns to the same output within a 1 or 2 hundredths of a volt. Some other reviewer mentioned high in-rush current on start-up, so I slapped a 100uF cap on both the input and output terminals. Seems to work great. The set screw is a single turn screw and as such is rather sensitive. It only takes a tiny turn to change a full volt. Once I got it to the right voltage, I put a dab of super glue on the edge of the screw to keep it from moving. Seems to be a good value, too!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017Great little converters. Used all 6 of them in different projects, mostly for 5V output, all are working well. A little bit tricky to adjust (comparing to the worm-drive pots on larger boards, which would not fit on this small board), but once set, it's pretty stable. Didn't test them for max current output, but they handle up to 2A with ease (they're getting hot at those levels, so better ventilation = longer life).
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017Works great! Nice an small package. Adjustment is a little tricky but I consider it more comforting because that means it is less likely to get accidentally bumped causing the voltage adjuster to move and change the voltage.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016Work as expected, but those unit has high in-rush during power on, so be careful not to burn your devices during the initial surge. I burned two of my ESP8266 chips before I realized this device has in-rush voltage equal to the source on the output during initial power up. I have few other buck converters that don't have this problem.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016Just got these in. They look just like the picture with the D-SUN branding in the corner.
I was curious about the inrush transient other people had been mentioning. After looking at the units under an oscilloscope, I've actually observed the issue on powering OFF rather than powering on. I've also noted the transient doesn't happen when powered from a battery. I've a theory to that as well. To make things clear I've attached some images for reference.
Testing constraints:
- Converter output set at about 5 volts DC.
- No load on output except oscilloscope.
- Testing with 9VDC battery as well as benchtop linear power supply.
Image 1 shows the output of the converter on startup. It ramped up to the set voltage without any overshoot. This images is reflective of the observed results of both the battery and the power supply. The power supply was tested on ranges from 12-24VDC and all with a similar look.
Image 2 shows the output of the converter when the linear power supply was shutdown (power to the liner power supply cut). Before output drops to zero, it experiences a spike along it's ramp down. Note that the spike is exceeding the set voltage by over an entire volt.
Image 3 shows the output of the converter when disconnected from the 9 volt battery. This is what most people would expect for output shutdown.
So why the spike in voltage when powered from the power supply? I suspect image 4 may help answer that question.
Image 4 shows the output of the converter when the linear power supply is set to 7VDC (about 2 volts over converter output setting). Output suddenly becomes unstable. Probably because it doesn't have enough overhead. Notice how the voltage is spiking to a similar level as before.
Here is my guess to what is happening. I believe since my linear power supply has some sizable capacitors on its output, that the voltage is not falling instantly on shutdown. While it is dropping, this converter is still doing its thing and creating the set output voltage. However, as soon as the input voltage drops into the range where the converter doesn't have enough overhead, the converter freaks out and starts spiking. But for me at least, it only get's one spike off before input voltage is so low output finally becomes zero.
This is probably why when powered from the battery there was no spike on shutdown-- the voltage from the battery was instantly removed. That being said, be very careful about maintaining overhead when running from a battery. If your voltage gets too low, you are going to be getting output spikes.
If just to get through the shutdown phase, a larger filter capacitor can probably squelch the majority of this issue like others have noted. But just to be clear, I think most people will experience this as a shutdown issue, not a startup one. To be fair, though, I tested for start up spikes by raising my linear power supply slowly from zero to 9VDC and got voltage spikes that way as well. If you pass though the not-enough-overhead range you will get them every time. I think power supplies generally turn on faster than turn off though. Your results may be different. Regardless, go for fast on and fast off and things will be okay.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 20163 of 6 were not adjustable or doa. i used these to power my arduino for a project, and it managed to damage to my ardunio. Would not recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017Two were DOA and then the pot on the others is too cheap. It should come with an adjuster tool if they are going cheap components. I am only leaving two stars because I got two working out of the six.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016I purchased these BUCK converters in order to power my 6 to 9 vdc RC Transmitters / Controllers with LiPo batteries with large capacities ( 2200Mah @ 7.4vdc & 11.1vdc ) and higher voltages. This is because the RC Controllers go through Alkaline batteries quickly, which gets very expensive. The LiPo batteries, on the other hand, are rechargeable and last much longer with the higher Mah rating. Using the Ultra Small BUCK converter allows me to adjust the voltage OUT to within the tolerances of the particular Transmitter ( Some are 6 Vdc, some are 9 Vdc and a couple are 12 vdc. ).
These BUCK converters easily fit inside the Transmitters and are held in place with a small amount of Hot Glue. The Thru-Hole soldering is simple and much easier than PAD soldering.
For the price, this is a fantastic bargain. I am very pleasantly surprised and highly recommend these BUCK converters. Try them, you wont be disappointed!!
