The DCDC-USB is a 135 x 37mm high power buck-boost microcontroller DC-DC converter. This unit accepts any 6-34V regulated or non-regulated input, and can output up to 100W at 12V, or at any voltage between 5-24V.

The output of the DCDC-USB is 12V regulated by default, and can be changed using simple jumper settings to 5V, 6V, 9V, 12V, 13.5V, 18V or 24V or via a USB cable anywhere from 5-24V in 0.25V increments.

The DCDC-USB can be used to power motherboards with single rail power input from any voltage, or to convert any voltage ranging 6-34V to any output from 5-24V. A DCDC-USB can be placed in-line with a standard picoPSU to provide a wide input range to a standard motherboard.

Additional Cables: To power a Mini PC or Board with 12V 2.5/5.5mm input (e.g. all JBC units, and some 12V Thin-ITX), use the "P4 to 2.5/5.5mm DC Plug OUTPUT Cable". To power from one of our AC Adapters, use the "P4 to 2.5/5.5mm DC Barrel INPUT Cable". Both can be found in the "you may also require" section.

The DCDC-USB has 4 modes of operation:

Dumb Mode: Regular buck-boost DC-DC converter with wide (6-34V) input producing a fixed 12V or 5-24V output.

Automotive: Acts as an intelligent ignition aware PSU - will send ON/OFF pulse to the motherboard when ignition is turned. Very low standby power consumption (under 1mA).

UPS Mode: Acts as an intelligent UPS unit, shutting down at prescribed battery voltages.

Scripted Mode: The DCDC-USB can be programmed to wake up and sleep based on pre-programmed scripts.

Specifications: Dimensions: 135 x 37mm; Minimum Input Voltage: 6V; Maximum Input Voltage: Electronic shut down at 34V (clamping will occur 34-36V); Deep-Discharge shutdown threshold: 11.2V; Input Current Limit: 10A (protected by mini-blade fuse); Regulation Accuracy: 2.5%; Operating Temperature: -40 to 85 C; Storage Temperature: -55 to 85 C; MTBF: >100,000 Hours @ 65C; Efficiency at 9-16V Input: >95% with 12V 2A Output; Input and Output Connectors: Mini-Fit JR 4pin.

Further Specifications: The DCDC-USB can be used as a remote on/off switch capable of switching up to 6A (8A peak). Fused input, TVS protected. Mini USB Type B connector (USB cable required for programming, not provided). All Solid Japanese made Sanyo SVPD Series Polymer Capactitors.
