Description
The 9-36V ProLynx
TM
series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 3A of output current. These
modules operate over an extra wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 9Vdc–36Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from
3Vdc to 18Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Two new features added with this family of products are the ability to
externally tune the voltage control loop and a variable current limit inversely dependent on output voltage. Other features include
remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and overtemperature protection. 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 and AutoLimit enables the module to deliver the max possible output power across the entire voltage range.
