Description
The Naos Raptor 40A SIP power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters in an industry standard package that
can deliver up to 40A of output current with a full load efficiency of 92% at 3.3Vdc output voltage (VIN = 12Vdc).
These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 5Vdc-13.8Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated
output voltage from 0.6dc to 5.0Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off,
adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection. A new feature, the Tunable LoopTM, allows
the user to optimize the dynamic response of the converter to match the load.
RoHS Compliant

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to being
part of a complex power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included, however, to
achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-
acting fuse with a maximum rating of 30A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in
this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be
used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data sheet for further information.

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The Naos Raptor 40A module should be connected
to a low-impedance source. A highly inductive
source can affect the stability of the module. An
input capacitance must be placed directly adjacent
to the input pin of the module, to minimize input
ripple voltage and ensure module stability.
To minimize input voltage ripple, low-ESR ceramic
capacitors are recommended at the input of the
module. Figure 40 shows the input ripple voltage for
various output voltages at 40A of load current with
1x22 µF or 2x22 µF ceramic capacitors and an input
of 12V.

Figure 40. Input ripple voltage for various output
voltages with 1x22 µF or 2x22 µF ceramic
capacitors at the input (40A load). Input voltage is

Output Filtering
The Naos Raptor 40A modules are designed for low
output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum
output ripple specification with no external capacitors.
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
ceramic and polymer 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. Optimal
performance of the module can be achieved by using
the Tunable LoopTM feature described later in this
data sheet.

standards, i.e., UL 60950-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-
03, and VDE 0850:2001-12 (EN60950-1) Licensed.
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 30A in the
positive input lead.
Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
The Naos Raptor 40A power modules feature a
remote On/Off capability with positive logic. If not
using the On/Off pin, leave the pin open (the module
will be ON. The On/Off signal (VOn/Off) is referenced to
ground.
During a Logic High on the On/Off pin, the module
remains ON. During Logic-Low, the module is turned
OFF.

Overcurrent Protection
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 10% of Io,max.
Over Temperature Protection
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is
equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will
shut down if the overtemperature threshold of 127ºC
is exceeded at the thermal reference point Tred. The
thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that
the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating.
Once the unit goes into thermal shutdown, it will then
wait to cool before attempting to restart.
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.

Power Good
The Naos Raptor 40A power modules provide a
Power Good Status signal that indicates whether or
not the power module is functioning properly.
PwGood is a power good signal implemented with an
open-collector output to indicate that the output
voltage is within the regulation limits of the power
module. The PwGood signal will be de-asserted to a
low state If any condition such as over-current, or
over-voltage occurs which would result in the output
voltage going out of range.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the Naos Raptor 40A module
can be programmed to any voltage from 0.6Vdc to
5.0Vdc by connecting a resistor between the Trim +
and Trim - 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.
43. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output
voltages of 2.75V and higher, the input needs to be
larger than the minimum of 4.5V.

Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some
common output voltages.
By using a ±0.1% tolerance trim resistor with a TC of
±25ppm, a set point tolerance of ±0.8% can be
achieved as specified in the electrical specification.
The POL Programming Tool available at
www.lineagepower.com under the Design Tools
section, helps determine the required trim resistor
needed for a specific output voltage.

Feature Descriptions (continued)
Tunable LoopTM
The Naos Raptor 40A modules have a new feature
that optimizes transient response of the module called
Tunable LoopTM. External capacitors are usually
added to improve output voltage transient response
due to load current changes. Sensitive loads may
also require additional output capacitance to reduce
output ripple and noise. Adding external capacitance
however affects the voltage control loop of the
module, typically causing the loop to slow down with
sluggish response. Larger values of external
capacitance could also cause the module to become
unstable.
To use the additional external capacitors in an optimal
manner, the Tunable LoopTM feature allows the loop
to be tuned externally by connecting a series R-C
between the SENSE and TRIM pins of the module, as
shown in Fig. 44. This R-C allows the user to
externally adjust the voltage loop feedback
compensation of the module to match the filter
network connected to the output of the module.
Recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE are given
in Tables 2 and 3. Table 2 lists recommended values
of RTUNE and CTUNE in order to meet 2% output
voltage deviation limits for some common output
voltages in the presence of a 20A to 40A step change
(50% of full load), with an input voltage of 12V. Table
3 shows the recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE
for different values of ceramic output capacitors up to
1500uF, again for an input voltage of 12V. The value
of RTUNE should never be lower than the values shown
in Tables 2 and 3. Please contact your Lineage Power
technical representative to obtain more details of this
feature as well as for guidelines on how to select the
right value of external R-C to tune the module for best
transient performance and stable operation for other
output capacitance values.

Thermal Considerations
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 45. The derating data applies
to airflow in either direction of the module’s axis.
The thermal reference point, Tref used in the
specifications are shown in Figure 46. For reliable
operation this temperature should not exceed 122oC.
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.
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 temperatures (TA)
for airflow conditions ranging from natural convection
and up to 2m/s (400 ft./min) are shown in the
Characteristics Curves section.
Figure 46. Temperature measurement location Tref.
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 the Board Mounted Power
Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note.
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. They are designed to be processed
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes.
A maximum preheat rate of 3°C/s is suggested. The
wave preheat process should be such that the
temperature of the power module board is kept below
210°C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
temperature is 260°C, while the Pb-free solder pot is
270°C max. Not all RoHS-compliant through-hole
products can be processed with paste-through-hole
Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information
is needed, please consult with your Lineage Power
technical representative for more detail.
