LM2596 3A Step-Down DC to DC Regulator Module

the lm2596 regulator module is a buck converter or switching variable regulator that allows for voltage output adjustment via a multi-turn potentiometer on the board. in many projects, a voltage other than standard voltages is required, or the source voltage available for your circuit is higher than your needed voltage. however, the output current is also important, and consequently, the only solution is to use high-current voltage reduction circuits, with dc step-down regulator modules being the best option. the input of the lm2596 dc step-down regulator module, with a current of 3 amps, can range from 3 to 40 volts, and the adjustable output ranges from 1.5 to 35 volts with a maximum output current of 3 amps. note that to obtain any voltage, the input voltage must be at least 1.5 volts higher than your desired output voltage. the lm2596 series regulators are integrated circuits that incorporate all the necessary specifications for step-down switching regulators. these regulators can provide a maximum current of 3 amps with line and load regulation for the load. **note:** the input voltage must be at least 1.5 volts higher than the output voltage.
