LTC1871 boost DC-DC converter module — 100W, adjustable step-up, LED digital voltmeter
The LTC1871-based 100W boost DC-DC converter module is a high-power step-up power supply designed for applications requiring a stable, adjustable output voltage higher than the input. Built around the LTC1871 current-mode PWM controller from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology), it delivers efficient, regulated power conversion with a built-in LED digital voltmeter for real-time output voltage monitoring.
With its wide input voltage range, adjustable output, and robust 100W power handling, this module is well-suited for battery-powered systems, LED driver supplies, solar charge boosters, and lab bench power applications where a compact, high-power step-up converter is needed.
