Buck converter is used when you require to step down the DC voltage from a specified value to a lower value in DC voltage. Unlike AC voltage which you can control easily with a transformer, DC voltages are harder to control because you can’t use transformer to control it and it requires switching regulators to do so. This MP1584 Step Down Converter Buck Module is used for applications where you require 5V output voltage to supply to your project like robotics or DIY projects which runs on 5V microcontrollers like Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega, Arduino Nano etc. It has a fixed output of 5V you can not change that but the input voltage can vary from 7V-18V. It is small in size, light weight and with low internal power output which is very crucial for the use in portable devices. It can be used in Robotics, Breadboard power supply, power supply for RC planes, Cars, quads etc.
