STEP DOWN MODULE AMS1117 ( 6-12V TO 3.3V ) Issue

Hello everyone, i just bought a STEP DOWN MODULE AMS1117 ( 6-12V TO 3.3V ). I want to know whether any input voltage within the range of 6-12 V will produce 3.3 V.

That seems to be the kind of question that, if you had any doubt that the module did what was advertised, you could answer for yourself by trying it and seeing what happens.

So what exactly is your "issue" with it? I'm getting an X-Y problem vibe.

Huh i asked whether ANY of the input voltage within the range of 6 V to 12 V will produce the 3.3 V. Its a yes or no question

yes

The AMS1117 is not a step down module, it is an IC "1A LDOVoltageRegulator".

Yes, if you connect any voltage from 18V to 6V at the input, you will have 3.3V at the output.

You can connect up to (max) 18V to its input.
But be careful.
As the voltage drop across the IC will be Vin - 3.3V, and depending on the current you will draw from it, the heat it will dissipate could be so great that it will damage the IC.
