Description
The Austin MegaLynx series SMT power modules are non-isolated DC-DC converters in an industry standard package that can
deliver up to 30A of output current with a full load efficiency of 92% at 2.5Vdc output voltage (VIN = 12Vdc). The ATH series of
modules operate off an input voltage from 4.5 to 5.5Vdc and provide an output voltage that is programmable from 0.8 to
3.63Vdc, while the ATS series of modules have an input voltage range from 6 to 14V and provide a programmable output voltage
ranging from 0.8 to 3.63Vdc. Both series have a sequencing feature that enables designers to implement various types of output
voltage sequencing when powering multiple modules on the board. Additional features include remote On/Off, adjustable output
voltage, remote sense, over current, over temperature protection and active current sharing between modules.

Design Considerations
The Austin MegaLynxTM module should be connected to a
low-impedance source. A highly inductive source can affect
the stability of the module. An input capacitor 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 46 shows the input ripple voltage for various output
voltages at 30A of load current with 1x22 µF or 2x22 µF
ceramic capacitors and an input of 12V. Figure 47 shows
data for the 5Vin case, with 2x22µF and 2x47µF of ceramic
capacitors at the input, and for a load current of 30A.

Output Filtering
The Austin MegaLynxTM modules are designed for low output
ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple
specification with 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF 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 48 shows the output ripple
voltage for various output voltages at 30A of load current
with different external capacitance values and an input of
12V. Figure 49 shows data for the 5Vin case for various
output voltages at 30A of load current with different
external capacitance values. For stable operation of the
module, limit the capacitance to less than the maximum
output capacitance as specified in the electrical
specification table.
Figure 48. Output ripple voltage for various output
voltages with external 1x10 µF, 1x47 µF, 2x47 µF or 4x47
µF ceramic capacitors at the output (30A load). Input
voltage is 12V.

voltages with external 1x10 µF, 1x47 µF, 2x47 µF or 4x47

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, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00, EN60950 (VDE 0850)
(IEC60950, 3rd edition) 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.
Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
The Austin MegaLynxTM 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. Circuit
configuration for remote On/Off operation of the module
using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 50.
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 ATS030A0X3-62SRHZ and
ATS030A0X3-62SRPHZ modules have a higher value resistor
of 100K connected internally between the gate and source
of the internal FET used to control the PWM Enable line.
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). When On/Off pins are connected
together, all modules will shutdown if any one of the
modules gets disabled due to undervoltage lockout or over
temperature protection.

Remote Sense
The Austin MegaLynxTM SMT power modules have a Remote
Sense feature to minimize the effects of distribution losses
by regulating the voltage at the Remote Sense pin (See
Figure 51). 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, connect the
Remote Sense pin to output of the module.

Over Current 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 average output current during
hiccup is 10% IO, max.
Over Temperature Protection
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is
equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will
shutdown if the overtemperature threshold of 125oC 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 Under Voltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit,
the module operation is 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 Austin MegaLynxTM can be
programmed to any voltage from 0.8dc to 3.63Vdc by
connecting a resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 52) between
Trim and GND pins of the module. Without an external
resistor between Trim and GND pins, the output of the
module will be 0.8Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim
resistor, Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following
equation:
Ω
−

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 voltages.
The POL Programming Tool, available at

Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the Austin
MegaLynxTM 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
53 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage
margining. The POL Programming Tool, available at
www.gecriticalpower.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 GE technical representative for additional details.

Voltage Sequencing
The Austin MegaLynxTM series of modules include a
sequencing feature 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, either leave the SEQ pin
unconnected or tied to VIN.
For proper voltage sequencing, first, input voltage is applied
to the module. The On/Off pin of the module is or tied to
GND so that the module is ON by default. After applying
input voltage to the module, a delay of 10msec minimum is
required before applying voltage on the SEQ pin. During this
delay time, the SEQ pin should be kept at a voltage of 50mV
(± 20 mV). After the 10msec delay, the voltage applied to the
SEQ pin is allowed to vary and the output voltage of the
module will track this voltage on a one-to-one volt basis
until the 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 voltages of
the modules track the sequence pin voltage when it falls
below their set-point voltages. A valid input voltage must be
maintained until the tracking and output voltages reach
zero to ensure a controlled shutdown of the modules. For a
more detailed description of sequencing, please refer to
Application Note AN04-008 titled “Guidelines for
Sequencing of Multiple Modules”.
When using the EZ-SEQUENCETM feature to control start-up
of the module, pre-bias immunity feature 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 voltage at the SEQ pin
is applied. This will result in sinking current in the module if
pre-bias voltage is present at the output of the module.
When pre-bias immunity during start-up is required, the EZ-
SEQUENCETM feature must be disabled.
Active Load Sharing (-P Option)
For additional power requirements, the Austin MegaLynx
series 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:
• 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 condtions 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 75% of the sum of the
individual converters. As an example, for a system of
four ATS030A0X3-SR converters the parallel, the total

current drawn should be less that 75% of (4 x 30A) , i.e.
less than 90A.
• 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 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.
• 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.

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
54. Note that the airflow is parallel to the short axis of the
module as shown in Figure 55. The derating data applies to
airflow in either direction of the module’s long axis.
Figure 54. Thermal Test Setup.
The thermal reference points, Tref used in the specifications
are shown in Figure 56. For reliable operation the
temperatures at these points 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 Board-Mounted
Power Modules” for a detailed discussion of thermal
aspects including maximum device temperatures.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The Austin MegaLynxTM SMT modules use an open frame
construction and are designed for a fully automated
assembly process. 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.
Figure 57. 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.
Tin Lead Soldering
The Austin MegaLynxTM 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
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.

Surface Mount Information (continued)
Lead Free Soldering
The –Z version MegaLynx SMT 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 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. 60.
MSL Rating
The Austin MegaLynxTM 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 original package is
broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of <= 30°C
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).
