How the Buck-Boost Converter Works
This module uses a buck-boost topology:
- If input voltage > set output, acts as buck (step-down)
- If input voltage < set output, acts as boost (step-up)
This automatic switching ensures a constant output voltage, even when the input source (like batteries or solar panels) varies.
