Feature Descriptions (continued)
Remote Sense
The Austin SuperLynx TM 12V 12V SMTpower modules have a
Remote Sense feature to minimize the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the Remote Sense pin (See
Figure 31). The voltage between the Sense pin and Vo pin must
not exceed 0.5V.
The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the
output voltage multiplied by the output current (Vo x Io). When
using Remote Sense, the output voltage of the module can
increase, which if the same output is maintained, increases the
power output by the module. Make sure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the maximum
rated power. When the Remote Sense feature is not being
used, connect the Remote Sense pin to output pin.
