Description
The TLynx TM series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 20A of output current.
These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 2.4Vdc-5.5Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated
output voltage from 0.6Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off,
adjustable output voltage, over current and overtemperature protection, and output voltage sequencing (APTH
versions). A new feature, the Tunable Loop
TM , allows the user to optimize the dynamic response of the converter to
match the load with reduced amount of output capacitance leading to savings on cost and PWB area.
