CN6009 / XL6009 DC-DC Adjustable Step-Up Power Module (Boost Converter)

When your project requires a higher voltage than your battery or power supply can provide such as running a 12-Volt motor from a 5-Volt USB power bank, or powering a 24-Volt LED array from a 12-Volt car battery the XL6009 (often labeled as the CN6009) step-up boost module is the perfect solution. As the direct, highly upgraded successor to the older LM2577 chip, the XL6009 utilizes advanced, high-frequency switching technology. It operates at a rapid 400 kHz, allowing it to provide a much smoother output with lower ripple and higher efficiency while requiring significantly smaller onboard capacitors and inductors.

This fully assembled breakout board features a built-in, multi-turn precision potentiometer. By simply turning the small brass screw, you can effortlessly dial in your exact required output voltage anywhere from 5 Volts up to 35 Volts. Capable of handling peak switching currents of up to 4 Amps, it provides reliable, steady power for custom DIY electronics, automotive applications, and robotics systems where board space and power efficiency are critical.

Key Features & Functional Advantages

• Second-Generation Switching: Operates at a high frequency of 400 kHz, delivering vastly superior performance, higher efficiency, and lower electrical noise compared to first-generation LM2577 boost modules.

• Fully Adjustable Output: The onboard 25-turn precision potentiometer gives you absolute, granular control over your output voltage, ensuring your sensitive components receive the exact logic level they require.

• Wide Input Range: Readily accepts input voltages from as low as 3 Volts up to 32 Volts DC, making it highly versatile for single-cell lithium batteries, standard 5-Volt lines, and 12-Volt lead-acid batteries.

• High Current Capacity: The internal MOSFET switch can handle peak currents up to 4 Amps, comfortably driving demanding loads like solenoids, motors, and communication arrays.

• High Efficiency Conversion: Capable of achieving up to 94 percent efficiency, minimizing wasted battery life and reducing the amount of excess heat generated on your circuit board.

Perfect For

• DIY Battery Power: Boosting a standard 3.7-Volt lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery up to a stable 5 Volts or 12 Volts to run microcontrollers, displays, and sensors.

• Automotive Electronics: Providing a steady 24-Volt rail for specialized industrial equipment directly from a standard fluctuating 12-Volt car alternator system.

• Solar Power Applications: Stabilizing the output from lower-voltage solar panels to actively charge a higher-voltage battery pack (provided the input voltage remains lower than the output).

• Audio Amplifiers: Stepping up lower DC voltages to meet the higher power rail requirements of custom, high-fidelity audio amplifier boards.
