Switching mode Constant Current Buck 3 Amps dimmable tiny and highly efficient customizable power supply unit for your DIY specific needs.

Some time ago we started to use high current LEDs for generic lighting, video lighting and custom made powerful flashlights.

Finding the CC power supply for a specific current, well enough built and tiny footprint has always been a challenge, so finally we decided to roll out our own implementation design,
which turned to be exactly what we needed.

Currently i'm offering units done with scrapped from used motherboards inductors!

This unit is capable running from 5.5 to 36V DC running serveral LEDs in series or just one if you like.

The implementation, packaging and customization of this particular module still goes on,
so you are very welcome with your thoughts, questions and thank you for your interest in advance,
Sincerely, E.D.

Hi, I'm interested in your work. Is it possible to help me build this driver? Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks for skull! That's fun to use this efficient tech in your diy projects. that's right, Domen. Depends on your whereabouts. I'd prefer Digikey or aliexpress for most smd components like mp2480 and some low ohm shunt resistors hard to stumble upon occasionally.

Hello. How much does the chip cost and where can I get it? I would like to use it in one of my projects. The datasheet is great but it doesn't tell me where I could buy this chip.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Yep, sure, Mike. if one finds it of interest. It's very simple, everything is described in pdf for the IC, yet i'll post it later on.

Are you planning to post some details? Like your Bill of Materials, schematic, and board artwork?
