Review conclusionWith reservationsRecommended

Only in one review: Current 3.5 A (FR9888); Test current 4.5 A (FR9888); Under load 11.44 V (MC34063); Efficiency 89.7 % (FR9888).

FR9888: Usable up to 2.5 A, but efficiency is below the claim and proper heat dissipation is important.

MC34063: The author tested the MC34063 in a buck-boost converter and was pleased with the chips, especially for the price.

Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
