Vout+ VOUT SENSE+ SEQ + TRIM+ RTrim TRIMGND SENSESENSE- nd Description The GigaTLynxTM series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 50A of output current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 4.5Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.7Vdc to 2.0Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and paralleling. The Ruggedized version (-D) is capable of operation up to 105C and withstand high levels of shock and vibration. The Tunable LoopTM 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. * UL is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

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 an integrated part of sophisticated 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 surface mount, fast acting fuse (ie. Littelfuse 456030 series) with a maximum rating of 30 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.

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. LTEST 1H Input Filtering Input Ripple Voltage (mVp-p) TO OSCILLOSCOPE x 100 % The Giga TLynx modules are designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with 0.1 F ceramic and 10 F ceramic 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. Figure 23 provides output ripple information for different external capacitance values at various Vo and for full load currents. 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 Loop feature described later in this data sheet.

I ON/OFF ON/OFF + VON/OFF 5.11K Q1 5.11K 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 2nd, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-07, DIN EN 60950-1:2006 + A11 (VDE0805 Teil 1 + A11):200911; EN 60950-1:2006 + A11:2009-03. 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 surface mount, fast acting fuse (ie. Littelfuse 456030 series) with a maximum rating of 30A in the positive input lead. Remote On/Off The GigaTLynxTM SMT power modules feature a On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. If not using the On/Off pin, connect the pin to ground (the module will be ON). The On/Off signal (Von/off) is referenced to ground. The circuit configuration for remote On/Off operation of the module using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 24. During a Logic High on the On/Off pin (transistor Q1 is OFF), the module remains OFF. The external resistor R1 should be chosen to maintain 3.0V minimum on the On/Off pin to ensure that the module is OFF when transistor Q1 is in the OFF state. Suitable values for R1 are 4.7K for input voltage of 12V and 3K for 5Vin. During Logic-Low when Q1 is turned ON, the module is turned ON. The On/Off pin can also be used to synchronize the output voltage start-up and shutdown of multiple modules in parallel. By connecting On/Off pins of multiple modules, the output start-up can be synchronized (please refer to characterization curves). GND _ Figure 24. Remote On/Off Implementation using ON/OFF . Overtemperature Protection To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will o shutdown if the overtemperature threshold of 125 C is exceeded at the thermal reference point Tref . 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 will be disabled. The module will begin to operate at an input voltage above the undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold. Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the GigaTLynxTM can be programmable to any voltage from 0.7 Vdc to 2.0Vdc by connecting a single resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 25) between the TRIM+ and TRIM pins of the module. The following equation will be used to set the output voltage of the module: 14000 Rtrim = Vo - 0.7 By using a 0.5% tolerance trim resistor with a TC of 100ppm, a set point tolerance of 1.5% can be achieved as specified in the electrical specification. Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common output LINEAGE POWER 9 GigaTLynxTM SMT Non-isolated Power Modules: 4.5 - 14Vdc input; 0.7Vdc to 2.0Vdc, 50A Output Data Sheet September 7, 2011 voltages. The POL Programming Tool, available at www.lineagepower.com under the Design Tools section, helps determine the required external trim resistor needed for a specific output voltage.

Note that prebias operation is not supported when output voltage sequencing is used.

Circuit configuration to program output voltage using an external resistor. Remote Sense The GigaTLynxTM SMT power modules have differential Remote Sense to minimize the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage at the Remote Sense pin. The voltage between the SENSE pin and VOUT pin must not exceed 0.5V. Note that the output voltage of the module cannot exceed the specified maximum value. This includes the voltage drop between the SENSE and Vout pins. When the Remote Sense feature is not being used, connect the SENSE pin to the VOUT pin. Voltage Margining Output voltage margining can be implemented in the Giga TLynxTM 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 output pin for margining-down. Figure 26 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining. The POL Programming Tool, available at www.lineagepower.com under the Design Tools section, also calculates the values of Rmargin-up and Rmargin-down for a specific output voltage and % margin. Please consult your local Lineage Power technical representative for additional details. Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown LINEAGE POWER TRIM- Figure 26. Circuit Configuration for margining Output voltage. Output Voltage Sequencing TM The Giga TLynx modules include a sequencing feature, TM EZ-SEQUENCE that enables users to implement various types of output voltage sequencing in their applications. This is accomplished via an additional sequencing pin. When not using the sequencing feature, leave it unconnected. When an analog voltage is applied to the SEQ pin, the output voltage tracks this voltage until the output reaches the set-point voltage. The final value of the SEQ voltage must be set higher than the set-point voltage of the module. The output voltage follows the voltage on the SEQ pin on a one-to-one basis. By connecting multiple modules together, multiple modules can track their output voltages to the voltage applied on the SEQ pin. For proper voltage sequencing, first, input voltage is applied to the module. The On/Off pin of the module is left unconnected or tied to GND so that the module is ON by default. After applying input voltage to the module, a minimum 10msec delay is required before applying voltage on the SEQ pin. Alternatively, input voltage can be applied while the unit is OFF and then the unit can be enabled. In this case the SEQ signal must be applied 10ms after the unit is enabled. This delay gives the module enough time to complete its internal power-up soft-start cycle. During the delay time, the SEQ pin may be held to ground. After the 10msec delay, an analog voltage is applied to the SEQ pin and the output voltage of the module will track this voltage on a one-to-one volt bases until the 10 GigaTLynxTM SMT Non-isolated Power Modules: 4.5 - 14Vdc input; 0.7Vdc to 2.0Vdc, 50A Output Data Sheet September 7, 2011 output reaches the set-point voltage. To initiate simultaneous shutdown of the modules, the SEQ pin voltage is lowered in a controlled manner. The output voltage of the modules tracks the voltages below their set-point voltages on a one-to-one basis. A valid input voltage must be maintained until the tracking and output voltages reach ground potential. TM When using the EZ-SEQUENCE feature to control start-up of the module, pre-bias immunity during start-up is disabled. The pre-bias immunity feature of the module relies on the module being in the diode-mode during start-up. When using the EZ-SEQUENCETM feature, modules goes through an internal set-up time of 10msec, and will be in synchronous rectification mode when the voltage at the SEQ pin is applied. This will result in the module sinking current if a pre-bias voltage is present at the output of the module. When pre-bias immunity during TM start-up is required, the EZ-SEQUENCE feature must be disabled. For additional guidelines on using the EZSEQUENCETM feature please contact the Lineage Power technical representative for additional information. TM For additional power requirements, the Giga TLynx power module is also available with a parallel option. Up to five modules can be configured, in parallel, with active load sharing. Good layout techniques should be observed when using multiple units in parallel. To implement forced load sharing, the following connections should be made: * The share pins of all units in parallel must be connected together. The path of these connections should be as direct as possible. * All remote-sense pins should be connected to the power bus at the same point, i.e., connect all the SENSE(+) pins to the (+) side of the bus. Close proximity and directness are necessary for good noise immunity Some special considerations apply for design of converters in parallel operation: * * The share bus is not designed for redundant operation and the system will be non-functional upon failure of one of the unit when multiple units are in parallel. In particular, if one of the converters shuts down during operation, the other converters may also shut down due to their outputs hitting current limit. In such a situation, unless a coordinated restart is ensured, the system may never properly restart since different converters will try to restart at different times causing an overload condition and subsequent shutdown. This situation can be avoided by having an external output voltage monitor circuit that detects a shutdown condition and forces all converters to shut down and restart together. When not using the active load share feature, share pins should be left unconnected. Power Good Active Load Sharing (-P Option) * condition. To ensure that all modules come up simultaneously, the on/off pins of all paralleled converters should be tied together and the converters enabled and disabled using the on/off pin. When sizing the number of modules required for parallel operation, take note of the fact that current sharing has some tolerance. In addition, under transient conditions such as a dynamic load change and during startup, all converter output currents will not be equal. To allow for such variation and avoid the likelihood of a converter shutting off due to a current overload, the total capacity of the paralleled system should be no more than 90% of the sum of the individual converters. As an example, for a TM system of four Giga TLynx converters in parallel, the total current drawn should be less that 90% of (4 x 50A) , i.e. less than 180A. All modules should be turned on and off together. This is so that all modules come up at the same time avoiding the problem of one converter sourcing current into the other leading to an overcurrent trip The Giga TLynxTM modules provide a Power Good (PGOOD) signal 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 such as overtemperature, overcurrent or loss of regulation occurs that would result in the output voltage going 12.5% outside the setpoint value. The PGOOD terminal is internally pulled-up and provides a voltage of ~5V, when asserted, thus eliminating the need for an external source and pull-up resistor. Additional external drive capability can be provided to the PGOOD terminal by using a source less than 5V and a suitable pull-up resistor to keep the overall external current below 4.5mA Tunable Loop The Giga TLynxTM modules have a new feature that optimizes transient response of the module called TM Tunable Loop . External capacitors are usually added to the output of the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple and noise (see Fig. 23) and to reduce output voltage deviations from the steady-state value in the presence of dynamic load current changes. 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. TM The Tunable Loop allows the user to externally adjust the voltage control loop to match the filter network connected to the output of the module. The Tunable LoopTM is implemented by connecting a series R-C between the SENSE and TRIM+ pins of the module, as shown in Fig. 28. This R-C allows the user to externally LINEAGE POWER 11 GigaTLynxTM SMT Non-isolated Power Modules: 4.5 - 14Vdc input; 0.7Vdc to 2.0Vdc, 50A Output Data Sheet September 7, 2011 adjust the voltage loop feedback compensation of the module.

Recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different output capacitor combinations are given in Tables 2 and 3. Table 2 shows the recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different values of ceramic output capacitors up to 2000uF that might be needed for an application to meet output ripple and noise requirements. Selecting RTUNE and CTUNE according to Table 2 will ensure stable operation of the module. In applications with tight output voltage limits in the presence of dynamic current loading, additional output capacitance will be required. Table 3 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 25A to 50A step change (50% of full load), with an input voltage of 12V. 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 or input voltages other than 12V.

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 29. Note that the airflow is parallel to the short axis of the module as shown in Figure 30. The derating data applies to airflow in either direction of the module's short axis. The thermal reference points, Tref used in the specifications is shown in Figure 30. For reliable operation the temperatures at this point should not o exceed 125 C. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max).

The ruggedized modules have been successfully tested to the following conditions: Non operating random vibration: Random vibration tests conducted at 25C, 10 to 2000Hz, for 30 minutes each level, starting from 30Grms (Z axis) and up to 50Grms (Z axis). The units were then subjected to two more tests of 50Grms at 30 minutes each for a total of 90 minutes. Operating shock to 40G per Mil Std. 810F, Method 516.4 Procedure I: The modules were tested in opposing directions along each of three orthogonal axes, with waveform and amplitude of the shock impulse characteristics as follows: All shocks were half sine pulses, 11 milliseconds (ms) in duration in all 3 axes. Units were tested to the Functional Shock Test of MIL-STD-810, Method 516.4, Procedure I - Figure 516.4-4. A shock magnitude of 40G was utilized. The operational units were subjected to three shocks in each direction along three axes for a total of eighteen shocks. Operating vibration per Mil Std 810F, Method 514.5 Procedure I: The ruggedized (-D version) modules are designed and tested to vibration levels as outlined in MIL-STD-810F, Method 514.5, and Procedure 1, using the Power Spectral Density (PSD) profiles as shown in Table 4 and Table 5 for all axes. Full compliance with performance specifications was required during the performance test. No damage was allowed to the module and full compliance to performance specifications was required when the endurance environment was removed. The module was tested per MIL-STD-810, Method 514.5, Procedure I, for functional (performance) and endurance random vibration using the performance and endurance levels shown in Table 4 and Table 5 for all axes. The performance test has been split, with one half accomplished before the endurance test and one half after the endurance test (in each axis). The duration of the performance test was at least 16 minutes total per axis and at least 120 minutes total per axis for the endurance test. The endurance test period was 2 hours minimum per axis.

Lead-free (Pb-free) Soldering The -Z version Giga TLynx modules are lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are both forward and backward compatible in a Pb-free and a SnPb soldering process. 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 5-2). The suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). Recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder: Figure 31. 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 inside nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 3mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 5 mm max. Bottom Side Assembly This module is not recommended for assembly on the bottom side of a customer board. If such an assembly is attempted, components may fall off the module during the second reflow process. If assembly on the bottom side is planned, please LINEAGE POWER NOTE: Soldering outside of the recommended profile requires testing to verify results and performance. Tin Lead Soldering TM The Giga TLynx 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. 19 GigaTLynxTM SMT Non-isolated Power Modules: 4.5 - 14Vdc input; 0.7Vdc to 2.0Vdc, 50A Output Data Sheet September 7, 2011 In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than o o 235 C. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183 C, 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 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. 300 P eak Temp 235oC REFLOW TEMP (C) 250 Co o ling zo ne 1-4oCs -1 Heat zo ne max 4oCs -1 200 150 So ak zo ne 30-240s 100 TM The Giga TLynx of 2.

B (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 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).
