The HW-140 4A Adjustable Buck-Boost Converter Module is a versatile DC-DC voltage regulator capable of both stepping up (boost) and stepping down (buck) input voltage. It features a built-in LCD display that shows real-time voltage, current, power, and capacity data, making it an ideal solution for lab power supplies, battery projects, and precision electronics applications.
This module automatically maintains a stable output voltage regardless of whether the input voltage is higher or lower than the desired output.

Working Principle
This module uses a buck-boost switching regulator topology:
- If input voltage > output voltage → works in buck mode
- If input voltage < output voltage → works in boost mode
- A feedback loop continuously adjusts the duty cycle
- LCD displays real-time electrical parameters
Result: Stable output regardless of input variations
