Product review & video
Hi, these 3 devices are buck converters and they make a great alternative to linear voltage regulators. In this video I'll show you in practice why
and when you should consider using buck converters. Linear voltage regulators like this commonly
used LM7805 are so cheap and so easy to use. Just supply those 2 pins with 7-16V, add a 10uF capacitor on the input, another one on the output and you get steady 5V. As we all know, nothing is perfect, and so
are linear voltage regulators. They are quite inefficient, because they waste
energy and produce a lot of heat. How much heat you may ask? Let's take an example. If you want to feed your voltage regulator
with 9V and draw 500mA on the output, you will have to dissipate 2W of heat. The temperature of your LM7805 will definitely
go above 100 degrees C or 212 degrees F. If you want to draw even more current, or
increase the input voltage you mi
