What is LM2596 Adjustable Voltage Regulator? How to Use It?

There is LM2596, which is a switching voltage regulator, on the Adjustable Voltage Regulator Module. It has input and output ports in the form of screw terminals. Thus, you can easily connect open-ended cables to the module.

LM2596 Adjustable Voltage Regulator Module has LM2596, which is a switching voltage regulator. It has input and output connection points in the form of screw terminals. Thus, you can easily connect open-ended cables to the module.

It can also be used with Arduino cards and in various projects to reduce the voltage supply or keep it at a constant value.

A maximum current of up to 3A can be transferred through the regulator. My recommendation is 2A current. If you want to run over 3A you will need a cooler, otherwise the current will overload the module and break it.

The input voltage is between 4 V and 35 V DC. According to the voltage value applied in this range, the output voltage between 1.23 V- 35 V is obtained by making the necessary adjustments with trimpot on the card.

The important point to remember is that since the product is a voltage reducer, the input voltage must always be higher than the output voltage in the Adjustable Voltage Regulator Module.

If you connect 30 V input, it is possible to set the desired voltage in the range of 0-30 V. But if you connect the input voltage to 12 V, you can connect the output voltage between 0 and 12 V.

With the LM2596 Adjustable DC to DC Converter, you can regulate the input voltages between 4V DC to 35V DC in the range of 1.23 V DC to 30 VDC.

Since the product is a voltage reducer, it cannot exceed the output voltage. If you connect 30 V input, you can set the desired voltage in the range of 0-30 V. However, if you connect 12 V to the input, you can adjust the output in the range of 0-12 V.

The LM2596 operates at a switching frequency of 150 Khz, allowing for smaller sized filter components than required with lower frequency switching regulators.

Cautions with the LM2596;

1. Make sure the power input is not technically larger than the input voltage.
2. Don't forget to set the multimeter to DC Voltage.
3. Don't forget to slowly bring the adjustment potentiometer to your expected voltage.

We have tried to explain it in detail above. But below we briefly give you the bullet points.
