Description
The 12A Analog PicoDLynx
TM
power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 12A of output current.
These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage
from 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over
current and over temperature protection. 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.

- The module provides a Power Good (PGOOD) signal that is implemented with an open-drain output to indicate that the output voltage is within the regulation limits of the power module. The PGOOD signal will be de-asserted to a low state if any condition...
- Dual Layout
- Identical dimensions and pin layout of Analog and Digital PicoDLynx modules permit migration from one to the other without needing to change the layout. To support this, 2 separate Trim Resistor locations have to be provided in the layout. For the dig...
