LynxTM The Austin SMT module is designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with 1 F ceramic and 10 F tantalum capacitors at the output of the module. However, additional output filtering may be required by the system designer for a number of reasons. First, there may be a need to further reduce the output ripple and noise of the module. Second, the dynamic response characteristics may need to be customized to a particular load step change. To reduce the output ripple and improve the dynamic response to a step load change, additional capacitance at the output can be used. Low ESR polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic response of the module. For stable operation of the module, limit the capacitance to less than the maximum output capacitance as specified in the electrical specification table. October 7, 2015 For the converter output to be considered meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the input must meet SELV requirements. The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. The input to these units is to be provided with a fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15A in the positive input lead. (c)2015 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

Remote sense circuit configuration. Overcurrent Protection Remote On/Off The Austin LynxTM SMT power modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. The On/Off pin is an open collector/drain logic input signal (Von/Off) that is referenced to ground. Circuit configuration for using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 29. During a logic-high (On/Off pin is pulled high internal to the module) when the transistor Q1 is in the Off state, the power module is ON. Maximum allowable leakage current of the transistor when Von/off = VIN,max is 10A. Applying a logic-low when the transistor Q1 is turned-On, the power module is OFF. During this state VOn/Off must be less than 0.3V. When not using positive logic On/off pin, leave the pin unconnected or tie to VIN. VIN+ MODULE R2 ON/OFF + I ON/OFF Q2 R1 VON/OFF PWM Enable R3 Q3 CSS R4 _ Figure 29. Circuit configuration for using positive logic On/OFF. Remote Sense The Austin LynxTM SMT power modules offer an option for Remote Sense feature. When the device code description includes a suffix "3", sense pin is added to the module and the Remote Sense feature is active. See ordering information at the end of this document for code description. Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage at the load via Sense and GND pins (see Figure 30). 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, tie the Sense pin to output pin. Rdistribution Rcontact Rcontact VIN(+) Input Undervoltage Lockout At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit, module operation is disabled. The module will begin to operate at an input voltage above the undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold. Overtemperature Protection To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref, exceeds 125oC (typical), but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating. The module will automatically restarts after it cools down. Output Voltage Programming Q1 GND To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting circuitry and can endure current limiting continuously. At the point of current-limit inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. The unit operates normally once the output current is brought back into its specified range. The typical average output current during hiccup is 3A. The output voltage of the Austin LynxTM SMT can be programmed to any voltage from 0.75 Vdc to 3.63 Vdc by connecting a single resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 31) between the TRIM and GND pins of the module. Without an external resistor between the TRIM pin and the ground, the output voltage of the module is 0.7525 Vdc. To calculate the value of the resistor Rtrim for a particular output voltage Vo, use the following equation: 21070 - 5110 Rtrim = Vo - 0.7525 For example, to program the output voltage of the Austin LynxTM II module to 1.8 Vdc, Rtrim is calculated is follows: 21070 - 5110 1.8 - 0.7525 Rtrim = Rtrim = 15.004k Rdistribution VO Sense RLOAD Rdistribution Rcontact Rcontact COM October 7, 2015 Rdistribution COM (c)2015 General Electric Company.

By a 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.gecriticalpower.com under the Design Tools section, helps determine the required external trim resistor needed for a specific output voltage. The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When using the trim feature, the output voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same output current would increase the power output of the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power (Pmax = Vo,set x Io,max). Voltage Margining Output voltage margining can be implemented in the Austin LynxTM modules by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to the Output pin for margining-down.

The power modules operate in a variety of thermal environments; however, sufficient cooling should always be provided to help ensure reliable operation. Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow, module power dissipation, and the need for increased reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of the module will result in an increase in reliability. The thermal data presented here is based on physical measurements taken in a wind tunnel. The test set-up is shown in Figure 34. Note that the airflow is parallel to the long axis of the module as shown in figure 33. The derating data applies to airflow in either direction of the module's long axis. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max). Please refer to the Application Note "Thermal Characterization Process For Open-Frame Board-Mounted Power Modules" for a detailed discussion of thermal aspects including maximum device temperatures. Figure 34. Thermal Test Set-up. Heat Transfer via Convection Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat transfer via convection. Thermal derating curves showing the maximum output current that can be delivered at different local ambient temperature (TA) for airflow conditions ranging from natural convection and up to 2m/s (400 ft./min) are shown in the Characteristics Curves section.

The modules are fitted with a label designed to provide a large surface area for pick and place operations. The label meets all the requirements for surface mount processing, as well as safety standards, and is able to withstand reflow temperatures of up to 300oC. The label also carries product information such as product code, serial number and location of manufacture. infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be established by accurately measuring the modules CP connector temperatures. REFLOW TEMP (C) Pick and Place REFLOW TIME (S) Figure 35. Pick and place Location. Nozzle Recommendations The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open frame construction. Even so, these modules have a relatively large mass when compared to conventional SMT components. Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and pick & placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 3mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 12 mm max.

The Austin LynxTM SMT power modules are lead free modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free solder process or in a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. It is recommended that the customer review data sheets in order to customize the solder reflow profile for each application board assembly. The following instructions must be observed when soldering these units. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules, and can adversely affect long-term reliability. In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than 235oC. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC, wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow technologies currently used in the industry. These surface mount power modules can be reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant October 7, 2015 (c)2015 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

Failure to observe the instructions below may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules and can adversely affect long-term reliability. Pb-free Reflow Profile Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C (Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for both Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification procedures. This standard provides a recommended forced-air-convection reflow profile based on the volume and thickness of the package (table 4-2). The suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Figure. 37. original package is broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of <= 30C and 60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD-033A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will be a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when stored at the following conditions: < 40 C, < 90% relative humidity. Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The result of inadequate cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability of a power module and the testability of the finished circuit-board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures, refer to Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note (AN04-001). Per J-STD-020 Rev. C 300 Peak Temp MSL Rating The Austin Lynx Programmable SMT modules have a MSL rating of 2a. Storage and Handling The recommended storage environment and handling procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount packages is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should not be broken until time of use. Once the October 7, 2015 Reflow Temp (C) 250 Cooling Zone 200 150 * Min.
