Description
The 12V PicoTLynx
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
= 4.5Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from
0.59Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over
current and overtemperature protection, and output voltage sequencing (APTS versions). The Ruggedized version (-D) is capable
of operation up to 105°C and withstand high levels of shock and vibration. 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.
