For example, to program the output voltage of the
Austin MiniLynx
TM
module to 1.8 Vdc, Rtrim is
calculated is follows:

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.
Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
Austin MiniLynx
TM
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 33 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.
