Description
The 12V Mega TLynx
TM
power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 30A of output
current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 6Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.8Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote
On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and
paralleling with active current sharing (-P 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
