The arduino keeps rebooting when the engine RPMs are high. What is the most appropriate module against interferences? Datasheets of some of the chips used in the modules contained an efficiency graph. The efficiency is a function of voltage and current. When available, I added the listed chip efficiency for the relevant Vin and Iout in the last column. Some modules have efficiency charts that don’t cover low current ranges, which might be an indication for the type of load the chips were (not) designed for. Output current of 25mA Module
I have been looking around for an easy way to convert 12V to 5V. I have seen some people saying that a simple resistor is all that is needed. One 12v battery/ 12V adopter power source, 10uF capacitor, 1uF capacitor, IC LM7805, Heat-sink, some connecting wires, and a soldering iron (for soldering).One 12v battery/ 12V power supply, a 1.6k resistor, 4.7K resistor, 10uF capacitor, 1uF capacitor, IC LM317, a Heat-sink, some connecting wires, breadboard if doing experimentally and a soldering iron. Are you going to use this only when the engine is running or also from battery when the engine is idle? There is only one real limitation with these. namely that they rely on both devices to be "Open collector". which means the devices need to be able to actively pull the signal down to ground to work. not all devices do that so it is best to make sure they do this. if your device works by actively pulling the signal up and not down this won't work. The converter handles input current between 8-35V and provides a steady 5V/3A supply. It’s also waterproof and can be screwed into position.
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. Next I measured the current used by the converter on the input side, for both a device load and a dummy load. I observed that a real load and a dummy load with same average current both have a similar efficiency. A difference could arise since the dummy load power draw is fixed while the device could draw power in bursts, but this didn’t affect the results significantly. I concluded that using dummy resistors is good enough approximation for this test. It took a bit of convincing before I believed I knew how to hook it up. Nothing could be easier: connect the two power supplies to the HV and LV inputs, connect the grounds, then connect your high level and low level signals and Voila! It measures just 8.2cm by 5.1cm and has a light on top to tell you it is in use. It can handle –35V and still output a steady 5V supply. However, you should note it is not waterproof and the power supply is non-isolated. I general you are right, but this article is titled “Efficient conversion for low-power electronics” not “… for phones”. I believe it is fair to perform a comparison for the 50mA range, nothing wrong with that.
The module is pre-built. All you have to do is connect the positive and negative terminals to the connections on the module board. A simple screw mechanism secures them in place. You can then plug in a USB cable and any device you like to get a stable 5V output. Of course, you may struggle to prove this is the case, leaving you without a device or a power supply converter. The above circuit diagram shows the circuit along with all the calculated values for our required operation. Working of 12V to 5V Circuit
Circuit 2 is a series Zener diode (or you could use a number of ordinary diodes in series to make up the voltage drop - say 12 x silicon diodes)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. There are many different reasons why you may need a 12V to 5V converter. If you are looking to reduce the supply and create a USB port then the Uctronics converter module could be the perfect solution for you. Car battery typically provides 7 to 15 volts, but some standards mention that 40V spikes are possible. Car battery voltage is normally around 12V but drops to ~7V when you are cranking up the engine and it goes up to ~14V when the engine is running and the battery is being charged. Since we don’t want our device to reset during crank-ups we would like to perform conversion of input voltage of 7 to 20 volts to a fixed 5 volts output that the Arduino Uno expects. Voltage regulators Naturally converters aimed at 1-2A loads perform worse in this scenario, which is exactly what I was trying to show.
