Feature Descriptions (continued)
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the Austin Lynx TM II SMT can be
programmed to any voltage from 0.75 Vdc to 5.5 Vdc by
connecting a single resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure
29) between the TRIM and GND pins of the module.
Without an external resistor between the TRIM pin and
the ground, the output voltage of the module is 0.7525
Vdc. To calculate the value of the resistor Rtrim for a
particular output voltage Vo, use the following equation:

By a using 1% tolerance trim resistor, set point
tolerance of ±2% is achieved as specified in the
electrical specification. The POL Programming Tool,
available at
www.lineagepower.com under the Design
Tools section, helps determine the required external trim
resistor needed for a specific output voltage.
The amount of power delivered by the module is defined
as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the
output current. When using the trim feature, the output
voltage of the module can be increased, which at the
same output current would increase the power output of
the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the
maximum output power of the module remains at or
below the maximum rated power (P

).
Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
Austin Lynx
TM II modules by connecting a resistor,
R
margin-up
, from the Trim pin to the ground pin for
margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a
resistor, R
margin-down
, from the Trim pin to the Output pin
for margining-down. Figure 30 shows the circuit
configuration for output voltage margining. The POL
Programming Tool, available at
www.lineagepower.com
under the Design Tools section, also calculates the
values of R
margin-up
and R
margin-down
for a specific output
voltage and % margin. Please consult your local
Lineage Power technical representative for additional
details.
