Description
The Pico TLynx
TM
3A power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 3A 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.
