This time I am testing a small boost converter. This test shows how the module performs, I do not try to improve any performance with extra capacitors.
The full result can be seen here:
http://lygte-info.dk/review/Power%200.9V%20to%205V%20600mA%20boost%20converter%20UK.htmlThe module is supposed to work from 0.9 volt, but do not expect any current from it at these low voltages.
At 1.5 volt it is usable, but a single AA cell cannot supply 1.5 volt, at least two is needed.
The output voltage is on the high side for a 5 volt module.
Here I killed the module and had to use another module for testing.
Idle current increases significantly at low input voltages.
Loading with 200mA and varying the input voltage.
Ripple with 300mA, more output capacity would be a good idea.
