Analog Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
The module can be turned ON and OFF either by using the
ON/OFF pin (Analog interface) or through the PMBus interface
(Digital). The module can be configured in a number of ways
through the PMBus interface to react to the two ON/OFF
inputs:
 Module ON/OFF can be controlled only through the analog
interface (digital interface ON/OFF commands are ignored)
 Module ON/OFF can be controlled only through the PMBus
interface (analog interface is ignored)
 Module ON/OFF can be controlled by either the analog or
digital interface
The default state of the module (as shipped from the factory)
is to be controlled by the analog interface only. If the digital
interface is to be enabled, or the module is to be controlled
only through the digital interface, this change must be made
through the PMBus. These changes can be made and written
to non-volatile memory on the module so that it is
remembered for subsequent use.
Analog On/Off
The 40A Digital Mega DLynx TM power modules feature an
On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic
options are available. In the Positive Logic On/Off option,
(device code suffix “4” – see Ordering Information), the
module turns ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and
turns OFF during a logic Low. With the Negative Logic On/Off
option, (no device code suffix, see Ordering Information), the
module turns OFF during logic High and ON during logic Low.
The On/Off signal should be always referenced to ground. For
either On/Off logic option, leaving the On/Off pin
disconnected will turn the module ON when input voltage is
present.
For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using
the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 21.
For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is
shown in Fig. 22..

logic.

Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown behavior
for any combination of rated input voltage, output current
and operating temperature range.
Startup into Pre-biased Output
The module can start into a prebiased output as long as the
prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output voltage.
Analog Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the module is programmable to any
voltage from 0.6dc to 2.0Vdc by connecting a resistor
between the Trim and SIG_GND pins of the module. Certain
restrictions apply on the output voltage set point depending
on the input voltage. These are shown in the Output Voltage
vs. Input Voltage Set Point Area plot in Fig. 23. The Upper
Limit curve shows that for output voltages lower than 1V,
the input voltage must be lower than the maximum of
14.4V. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output voltages
higher than 0.6V, the input voltage needs to be larger than
the minimum of 4.5V.
