Whatever you intend to use your 12V to 5V converter for, you can be certain that it needs to be reliable and durable. That allows you to put it into the system and leave it in place, knowing it will do its job. If this isn’t an option then you should take a look at social media and online forums. There are plenty of people online willing to share their experiences. This can help you to make the right decision regarding the best 12V to 5V converter. The arduino keeps rebooting when the engine RPMs are high. What is the most appropriate module against interferences?

The project i am working includes connecting the various sensor and control signals between a 5 volt - does not work with the other digital level shifter, to a pi pico. Have you thought of making a shield to level shift between a 3.3V Arduino/shield and a 5V shield or the other way around. Then one simply uses the shield to make other shields compatible with shields of another voltage. Silly question maybe...(excuse the non-electronics person...) but the tech document attached - AN97055 suggests that you ought to be able to approach 10ns switch on/off times... I was just wondering whether it was realistically possible to do this with this board - or whether you would need to play more with the pull up resistors?Do you have any advice on how to convert a 12v source (which may itself not be super steady, I have no idea) into a steady 5v? Also, this IC is widely available and it is a lot more cost-efficient than the other ICs available in this segment. That is why we are going to use this IC for our circuit. What would be great is if this breakout board was expanded to also include regulators for 5V and 3.3V for example. Maybe with jumpers to HV and LV. worth mentioning that the GND and VDD are the wrong way around on the hookup guide, compared to the PCB (mine at least). cheers, otherwise works fine for i2c at least. For getting a steady and zero ripple output voltage, the linear voltage regulators IC’s are used. These are the integrated circuits that are made for linear voltage conversion and regulation are often termed as a step-down transformer ICs. Let’s discuss 12v to 5v DC converter using IC 7805.

I am trying to use this with my electric imp as an I2C level shifter for my sensor which requires 5V input. At 5V with an arduino, it needed a pull up resistor of 4.7K. But I haven't been able to make it work with the electric imp. What do you propose me to do about the pull up resistor while connecting with the electric imp! What makes “Fine” better than others? It is a relatively new IC. The datasheet is from 2014 where, for comparison, the MP2307’s is from 2008. It also features a very low Rds(on) values (90mΩ/40mΩ), but most interestingly the MP2315 has AAM (Advanced Asynchronous Modulation) power-save mode for light load. Design a ‘Vout’ stabilized power supply to produce from an unregulated DC power supply source ‘Vs’. The maximum power rating P Z of the zener diode is in Watts. Using the zener diode and calculate using the following formulas: Before getting to 12v to 5v converter circuit using different methods lets a glance at the need of 5 volt supply.

What you want is the MIN Vgs which is 0.8V With the 1V suggested margin that goes up to 1.8V, and you should have no issues switching 1.8V devices.

Higher switching frequency will mean less ripple on the output (more accurate voltage/current) but causes more overhead due to switching, which reduces the efficiency a bit. You’ll then notice four terminals in a row. The two on the left are input, the two on the right output with the negative terminals next to each other for safety. Simply hook your wires up to the supply and the device. This device doesn’t just handle 12 volts. In fact, it can accommodate anything between 8V and 40V, converting it effortlessly into a stable 5V 3amp supply. You can still use a voltage divider and fix this problem by adding a buffer to the output of the voltage divider. The easiest way (for you) to do this is to use an op amp configured as a buffer: The schematic circuit shown below is for medium current circuits, it is useful for (1-70mA) medium current draining circuit eg. light emitting diode indicators, driver circuits, low voltage transistor operations, and many more. One 12v battery/ 12V adopter power source, 10uF capacitor, 1uF capacitor, IC LM7805, Heat-sink, some connecting wires, and a soldering iron (for soldering).Perhaps the most important element in your decision process is who made the converter and who is supplying it. In a perfect world, you will have heard of both the supplier and the manufacturer. You may even have personal experience with both of them. This will give you the confidence to buy their products.
