SW3518 buck modules (1C1A) (Amazon.de) (Amazon.com) (AliExpress)

Product key benefits:

  • Input voltage range: DC 6V-32V

  • This is a Buck module, it cannot increase voltage, i.e. if you connect a 12V DC source, the output voltage will also be limited to a maximum of 12V. (12V3A=36W).

  • There are three versions of the module: Single/Double/Quadro. These are the same module, only multiplied on a common board and having a common DC input. The double and quadro modules operate completely independently of each other.

  • Acceptable module heating, possible operation without a heat sink - maximum temperature 72°C on one of the chips and 66°C on the choke at a maximum load of 60W for 30 minutes.

  • PD12V support. It's useful in case you want to replace the conventional AC-DC 12V adapter using the UsbC-DC cable.

  • PPS 21V support is important for some smartphones, such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL or Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (37W and 45W respectively).

  • PPS 3.3-21V3A support support will also enable the fastest Super Fast Charge 2.0 45W charging for Samsung S25 smartphone (Plus and Ultra versions).

  • The measured efficiency of the module is about 94%, which allows it to remain within acceptable temperature limits without using a heat sink.

  • There is built-in protection against overvoltage.

  • It is a fairly inexpensive module, with the Single version costing around $3 on AliExpress.

  • There is also a version of the module with an SW3516 chip, which does not support the VOOC charging protocol, unlike the SW3518P which is installed in the tested module.

  • Weight: Single: 12g , Double: 28.4g

  • Dimensions: Single: 51×18×12.5mm, Double: 64x36x13mm

Product drawbacks:

  • This is a Buck module, it cannot increase voltage. When powered by 12V (e.g., from a car battery), you will not be able to charge a laptop, and the power will be limited to 36W (12V3A).

  • The double module version that I tested behaved unusually: PD100W support was detected when connecting a load (laptop), the PD100W protocol was established, but as the power consumption of the load increased, the protection was triggered after 2-3 seconds and the charge was interrupted. Limiting the power (with a cable) to 60W did not fix the problem. The same stability issue was observed with PD45W (15V3A), and only with PD36W (12V3A) did everything work as it should. At the same time, the single version of the module worked perfectly with PD60W (20V3A). There is a suspicion that the double version of the module which was used in this testing is defective.

  • Simultaneous operation of both ports (USB-A and USB-C) is not stable, despite the manufacturer's claim operability of 5V on both ports.

SW2303 PL5501 module (1C) (Amazon.de) (Amazon.com) (AliExpress)

Product key benefits:

  • Input voltage range: DC 3V-24V

  • This is a Buck-Boost module that lowers or raises the input voltage to the target voltage. For example, you can connect a 12V power supply to the input and charge a laptop using the PD20V protocol, or vice versa, use a 21V power supply and charge USB devices with any available voltage from 5V and above.

  • In terms of module heating, it operates stably at a power of about 60W (up to 75°C), but when the power increases to a maximum of 90-100W, the MOSFETs (90-95°C) located around the choke (there are 4 of them, 2 are used for buck mode, and the other 2 for boost), as well as the fuse (green) - 110-120°C. If heating is normal for the fuse, it is recommended to install small heat sinks on the MOSFETs (or at least on the back side of the module) if the module is expected to be loaded for more than 60W for a long time.

  • PD 12V support. This is very useful if you want to replace a regular AC-DC12V adapter. To do this, you will need a USB-C to DC cable.

  • PPS 3.3-21V5A support - provides the maximum possible charging power for Samsung smartphones of any model, including Ultra and Plus versions, as well as Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.

  • The DC 5.5x2.1mm input power port simplifies the connection of a power source, and there are also contact pads for direct power supply.

  • The module board has contacts for connecting active cooling (fan).

  • Weight:21g

  • Dimensions: 37.1×73.4×14.4mm

Product drawbacks:

  • Using the module to power high-power consumers > 60W (e.g., a laptop) requires the installation of heat sinks on the MOSFETs.

SW3538 140W Black module (1C1A) (Amazon.de) (Amazon.com) (AliExpress)

Product key benefits:

  • Input voltage range: DC 6V-30V

  • This is a buck (step-down) module that can only lower the voltage to the target value.

  • PD 12V support is implemented. This is very useful if you want to replace a regular AC-DC12V adapter. To do this, you will need a USB-C to DC cable.

  • PPS 21V5A support allows you to charge all Samsung models at maximum power, including Plus and Ultra versions (S22-S25), as well as Google Pixel 9 Pro XL or Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (37W and 45W, respectively).

  • The DC 5.5x2.1mm input power port simplifies connection to the power source.

  • The module has a red LED indicator for connection to the power source.

  • Impressive size heat sink on the back of the module.

  • Large size choke.

  • Support for SVOOC and VOOC protocols (confirmed by testing), as well as TFCP (from the SW3528 datasheet).

  • Weight: 29g

  • Dimensions: 32×67.5×17.6mm

Product drawbacks:

  • No PD3.1 support, and 140W is achieved by a non-standard version of the PD3.0 protocol (20V7A)

  • Support QC5/QC4+/QC3+/QC2.0

  • ​Support AFC/FCP/High Voltage SCP/SFCP

Additional information about protocol support from the SW2303 chip datasheet:

  • Supports TFCP protocol; provides four power curves: 25 W / 33 W / 45 W / 65 W

  • Supports SFCP protocol; outputs 5 V / 9 V / 12 V.

  • Supports VOOC protocol. VOOC1.0 output support
