How to connect the MT3608 2A Max DC-DC Step-Up Power Module Booster Power Module to an Arduino UNO or ESP32, with an example sketch you can upload straight away.

MT3608 DC-DC Step-Up Booster Demo

This setup demonstrates how to connect the MT3608 step-up boost converter to power and load rails on the Arduino Uno. The module receives 5V from the board and steps it up to an adjustable higher voltage (up to 28V) using its onboard multi-turn potentiometer. Use a multimeter across VOUT+ and VOUT- to set and verify your desired output voltage.

MT3608 DC-DC Step-Up Voltage Monitor

This project powers the MT3608 step-up booster from the ESP32 VIN pin and monitors the boosted output voltage in real time. A two-resistor voltage divider safely scales the high output voltage down to the ESP32 ADC range. Turn the multiturn trimmer potentiometer on the MT3608 to adjust the output and watch the reading update in the Serial Monitor.

MT3608 2A Max DC-DC Step-Up Power Module Booster Power Module

Input voltage: 2V-24V DC
Output voltage: 5V-28V DC

Note: This module is not suitable for powering electric motors or coils (solenoids). For that, use a powerful step-up booster module that is equipped with capacitors.


Output current: 1A (max), 0.5A (continuous), <100mA (input <4.0V), <50mA (input <3.5V)
Module type: Non-isolated step-up (boost)
Rectification: Non-synchronous rectification
Conversion efficiency: 96% (highest)
Switching frequency: 1.2MHz
Maximum output ripple: 100mV (factory specification)
Load regulation: ±0.5%
Voltage regulation: ±0.5%
Short-circuit protection: No
Operating temperature: -45°C to +85°C
PCB dimensions: 37 x 17mm

Note: The potentiometer can rotate about 25 times (approximately 50 hand turns) from start to finish. So it may take some time before the desired voltage is reached. The first time, it may happen that many turns are needed to see any change in the voltage at all.

Dimensions
Length: 3.6cm
Width: 1.7cm
Height: 0.6cm
