DFRobot MP2636 Power Booster & Charger Module - 5V 2.5A Output
The DFRobot MP2636 is a monolithic power management module integrating a 2.5A switch-mode battery charger and a 5V boost converter, designed for single-cell Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries. It provides seamless power path management for portable applications, Arduino projects, and Raspberry Pi systems.
Features
- Monolithic Power Systems MP2636 IC with integrated power path management.
- Charger Input: 4.5-6.0V DC; Boost Output: 5V DC at up to 2.5A.
- Supports single-cell Li-ion/Li-Polymer batteries (full charge voltage 4.2V).
- Automatic switchover between charge mode (external power) and boost mode (battery power).
- Compact PCB footprint (30mm x 35mm) for embedded portable designs.

The DFRobot MP2636 module is built around the Monolithic Power Systems MP2636 IC, a highly integrated switch-mode solution that combines battery charging and power boosting into a single circuit. This eliminates the need for separate charger and boost converter designs, simplifying system architecture for portable electronics. The module operates at a 600kHz switching frequency for efficient power conversion.
It features automatic power path management: when an external 4.5-6V supply is connected to VIN, the module charges the connected battery at up to 2.5A while simultaneously powering the load. When external power is removed, it seamlessly switches to boost mode, drawing from the battery to provide a stable 5V output. This behavior mimics a commercial power bank, making it ideal for DIY portable power solutions, robotics, and backup power systems.
