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 fastacting fuse with a maximum rating of 6 A (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.

COPPER STRIP TM The Austin MicroLynx SIP 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 polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. Figure 26 shows the input ripple voltage (mVpp) for various outputs with 1x150 F polymer capacitors (Panasonic p/n: EEFUE0J151R, Sanyo p/n: 6TPE150M) in parallel with 1 x 47 F ceramic capacitor (Panasonic p/n: ECJ-5YB0J476M, Taiyo- Yuden p/n: CEJMK432BJ476MMT) at full load.

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. LINEAGE POWER Safety Considerations For safety agency approval the power module must be installed in compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of the end-use safety agency 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 fastacting fuse with a maximum rating of 6A in the positive input lead. 11 Austin MicroLynxTM SIP Non-isolated Power Modules: 3 - 5.5Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 3.63Vdc Output; 5A output current Data Sheet July 2, 2010 Feature Description Overcurrent Protection Remote On/Off TM The Austin MicroLynx SIP power modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation of the module. If not using the remote On/Off pin, leave the pin open (module will be On). The On/Off pin signal (Von/Off) is referenced to ground. To switch module on and off using remote On/Off, connect an open collector pnp transistor between the On/Off pin and the VIN pin (See Figure 28). When the transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the power module is ON (Logic Low on the On/Off pin of the module) and the maximum Von/off of the module is 0.4 V. The maximum allowable leakage current of the transistor when Von/off = 0.4V and VIN = VIN,max is 10A. During a logic-high when the transistor is in the active state, the power module is OFF. During this state VOn/Off =10 14V and the maximum IOn/Off = 1mA. VIN(+) Lynx-series Module IOn/Off On/Off Pin 20k 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 2A. 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 over temperature protection in a fault condition, the unit relies upon the thermal protection feature of the controller IC. The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref2, (see Figure 31) exceeds o 150 C (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. Enable Css GND 20k Figure 28. Remote On/Off Implementation Remote On/Off can also be implemented using opencollector logic devices with an external pull-up resistor. Figure 28a shows the circuit configuration using this approach. Pull-up resistor, Rpull-up, for the configuration should be 5k (+/-5%) for proper operation of the module over the entire temperature range.

Without an external resistor between Trim and GND pins, the output of the module will be 0.7525Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor, Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following equation: ON/OFF LOAD TRIM + - GND Vtrim Figure 30.

Circuit configuration to program output voltage using an external resistor TM Austin MicroLynx can also be programmed by applying a voltage between TRIM and GND pins (Figure 30). The following equation can be used to determine the value of Vtrim needed to obtain a desired output voltage Vo: Vtrim = (0.7 - 0.1698 x {Vo - 0.7525}) For example, to program the output voltage of a TM MicroLynx module to 3.3 Vdc, Vtrim is calculated as follows: Table 2 VO, set (V) Vtrim (V) 0.7525 Open 1.2 0.6240 1.5 0.5731 1.8 0.5221 2.5 0.4033 3.3 0.2670 Using 1% tolerance trim resistor, set point tolerance of 2% is achieved as specified in the electrical specification.

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 MicroLynxTM modules by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from Trim pin to ground pin for margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a resistor, Rmargindown, from Trim pin to Output pin.

Thermal derating curves showing the maximum output current that can be delivered by various module versus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection and up to 1m/s (200 ft./min) are shown in the Characteristics Curves section. Layout Considerations Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power module. For additional layout guide-lines, refer to FLTR100V10 application note. Bottom View Figure 32. Tref Temperature measurement location. The thermal reference point, Tref 1 used in the specifications of thermal derating curves is shown in Figure 32. For reliable operation this temperature should not exceed 125oC. 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 BoardMounted Power Modules" for a detailed discussion of thermal aspects including maximum device temperatures.

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. Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering Information 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 3C/s is suggested. The wave preheat process should be such that the temperature of the power module board is kept below 210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is 270C max. Not all RoHScompliant 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 details. The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant LINEAGE POWER 16 Data Sheet July 2, 2010 Austin MicroLynxTM SIP Non-isolated Power Modules: 3 - 5.5Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 3.63Vdc Output; 5A output current Mechanical Outline Dimensions are in millimeters and (inches).
