The XL6009/XL6019 5A DC-DC Boost Converter is a high-performance power module designed to step up a low input voltage to a higher, regulated output voltage. At Electrapac, we recommend this module for projects that require more "muscle" than standard boosters, offering a higher current ceiling and a broader output range of up to 50V.

Product Overview

This module utilizes the advanced XL6019 (the upgraded successor to the XL6009) high-frequency switching architecture. It is engineered for efficiency and stability, capable of boosting a 5V USB source or a 12V battery to drive high-voltage LED arrays, laptops, or industrial sensors. With its low-ripple design, it ensures that your sensitive electronics receive clean, steady power.

Key Features for Electrapac Customers

• Upgraded XL6019 Chip: Features better thermal management and higher reliability than the older XL6009 models.

• Extreme Boost Range: Unlike many converters that top out at 35V, this high-performance module can reach 50V, making it ideal for specialized industrial applications.

• Low Noise Output: High-quality filter capacitors and a shielded inductor minimize electrical noise, protecting your Electrapac microcontrollers from interference.

• Precision Potentiometer: A multi-turn trimmer allows for exact voltage settings, ensuring you don't over-voltage your connected devices.

• Wide Input Compatibility: Works seamlessly with 3.7V Lithium cells, 5V USB power, or 12V Lead-Acid batteries.

Installation & Setup Guide

To ensure your Electrapac boost module performs at its peak, please follow these steps:

1. The "Step-Up" Rule: This is a Boost converter. The output voltage must always be set higher than the input voltage for the module to function correctly.

2. Voltage Adjustment: Use a small screwdriver on the blue trimpot.

   • Clockwise: Increases the output voltage.

   • Counter-clockwise: Decreases the output voltage.

3. Power Limits: While the chip is rated for 5A switching current, the board is optimized for 15W of continuous power. If your project draws more than 15W, we strongly suggest adding a small aluminum heatsink to the main chip.

4. Wiring: Use high-quality copper wire for the IN+/IN- and OUT+/OUT- pads to prevent voltage drops.

Primary Applications

• LED Drivers: Powering 24V or 36V LED strips from a 12V vehicle battery.

• Networking Hardware: Running 24V PoE injectors or routers from 12V solar battery banks.

• Industrial Sensors: Providing a 24V or 48V rail for specialized PLC or automation sensors.

• Laptop Power: Creating a DIY mobile charger to run 19V laptops from a 12V car socket.

• Hobbyist Lab: A versatile tool for any workbench to test components that require non-standard high voltages.
