How to Use verter_pad: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The Verter_Pad is an innovative electronic component designed to convert DC power from a power source into a regulated and adjustable voltage output. This versatile device is essential for providing a stable power supply to electronic circuits, especially when the input voltage is not aligned with the voltage requirements of the components in the circuit. Common applications include battery-powered projects, portable devices, and any system that requires a specific voltage level for operation.

• Input Voltage Range: 2V to 5.5V
• Output Voltage Range: 1.8V to 5V (adjustable)
• Maximum Output Current: 500mA
• Conversion Efficiency: Up to 95%
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
• Quiescent Current: 0.1mA

1. Connecting Power Source:

   • Connect the positive terminal of your DC power source to the VIN pin.
   • Connect the negative terminal to the GND pin.

2. Adjusting Output Voltage:

   • Connect a resistor or potentiometer between the ADJ and GND pins.
   • Adjust the resistance to change the output voltage according to the desired level.

3. Connecting to Load:

   • Connect the VOUT pin to the power input of your electronic circuit.
   • Ensure that the adjusted output voltage matches the voltage requirements of your circuit.

• Always verify the input voltage range before connecting the Verter_Pad to avoid damage.
• Do not exceed the maximum output current rating.
• Use a multimeter to confirm the output voltage before connecting to sensitive components.
• If using a potentiometer for voltage adjustment, choose one with a high resolution for precise control.
• Ensure proper heat dissipation if the Verter_Pad is expected to handle high power levels.

• Output Voltage is Too Low or Too High:
  • Check the resistance between the ADJ and GND pins. Adjust the resistor or potentiometer to correct the voltage.
• Verter_Pad is Overheating:
  • Ensure that the current draw is within the specified limits.
  • Improve ventilation or add a heatsink to the Verter_Pad.

• Q: Can I use the Verter_Pad with a 9V battery?
  • A: No, the input voltage range is 2V to 5.5V. Exceeding this range can damage the component.
• Q: How do I set a specific output voltage?
  • A: Use the formula provided in the datasheet to calculate the resistance needed for your desired output voltage, and adjust the resistor or potentiometer accordingly.

// Example code to read the output voltage of the Verter_Pad using an Arduino UNO

const int analogPin = A0; // Connect VOUT of Verter_Pad to A0 of Arduino

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(analogPin); // Read the analog value from Verter_Pad
  float voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0); // Convert to voltage
  Serial.print("Output Voltage: ");
  Serial.println(voltage);
  delay(1000); // Wait for a second before reading again
}

Remember to adjust the Verter_Pad to output a voltage within the range that the Arduino can handle on its analog inputs (0-5V). The code above assumes that the Verter_Pad's output voltage is within this range.
