Pi Zero Socket

Buck Converter

  • Requirements
    • A 12V-in barrel jack which powers a buck converter with ~3.8-9v 4A output. This will be used to power phones running without a battery
    • A software-controllable way to adjust voltage on the buck converter

LT3690

To change the voltage, we need to change the resistance (See page 12). To meet requirements, we need to change the resistance in the resistor network which can be done using a digital potentiometer:

To ensure voltage output is accurate, make sure tolerance of pot is 1%.
