Description
The GigaTLynx
TM
series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 50A 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 0.7Vdc to 2.0Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote
On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and
paralleling. The Ruggedized version (-D) is capable of operation up to 105°C and withstand high levels of shock
and vibration. The Tunable Loop
TM
feature, 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.
