PowerPole 13.8V to USB-C 5V/1A Converter Board

Technical Overview: Compact DC-DC converter board that transforms a standard 13.8V input into a clean, regulated 5V USB-C output at up to 1A. Ripple is held below 20 mVpp and emissions under 10 dBµV peak, making it suitable for powering sensitive RF and embedded systems.

Function

The board efficiently converts 13.8V DC into a stable 5V USB-C output with up to 1A of current. Optimized for minimal ripple and low EMI, it ensures clean power delivery for radios, microcontrollers, and digital devices.

Applications

  • Powering low-power Raspberry Pi and Pico boards
  • Supplying 5V to Hotspot2 and Transceiver2 modules
  • Charging low-power USB-C devices
  • Providing regulated power to embedded systems

Compatibility

Works with any 13.8V DC source, including amateur radio bench supplies and automotive systems (12–14.8V range).

Performance Measurements

All measurements were taken under controlled load conditions to simulate real-world operation.

Ripple

  • Ripple remains below 20 mV peak-to-peak at full 1A load.

Radiated Emissions (1–500 MHz)

  • Evaluated using a compact TEM cell with 50-ohm termination.
  • Measured emissions remain consistently below 10 dBµV peak.

Technical Specifications

  • PCB Technology: ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold)
  • Compliance: RoHS certified
  • Input Voltage: 12–14.8V DC (optimized for 13.8V)
  • Output Voltage: 5V DC (USB-C connector)
  • Maximum Output Current: 1A
  • Ripple: <20 mVpp at full load
  • Radiated Emissions: <10 dBµV peak
  • Design: Low EMI layout, RF-friendly for nearby receivers

The PowerPole 13.8V to USB-C 5V/1A board offers a compact, efficient, and low-noise solution for powering USB-C devices from any 13.8V source.
