Review on ๐Ÿ’ก DAOKI 5PCS XL6009 DC-DC Adjustable Step-up Boost Power Converter Module as a Replacement for LM2577 by Patrick Cox

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good boost converter

Good boost converter. I connected it to about 3.6V, set the output to 5V and connected a regulated load. The output voltage stayed at 5V up to a load of just over 1.3A. At this load it was found that a thermal shutdown had occurred and the voltage dropped rapidly. According to the specification, the XL6009 used in this circuit has thermal protection and protection against excessive switching current (max. 4 A). If you want to get close to the 4A limit, you need a serious heatsink.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Slightly dented
