Description
The Naos Raptor 20A SIP power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters in an industry standard package that
can deliver up to 20A of output current with a full load efficiency of 91% at 3.3Vdc output voltage (VIN = 12Vdc).
These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 4.5Vdc-13.8Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated
output voltage from 0.59Vdc to 6Vdc, 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

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The Naos Raptor 20A 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 or
polymer capacitors are recommended at the input of the
module. Figure 46 shows the input ripple voltage for
various output voltages at 20A of load current with 2x22
µF or 4x22 µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 12V.

Output Filtering
The Naos Raptor 20A 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.

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.
An input fuse for the module is recommended. Due to the
wide input voltage and output voltage ranges of the
module, different fuse ratings are recommended as
shown in Table 1. These are suggested “maximum” fuse
ratings. However, for optimum circuit protection, the fuse
value should not be any larger than required in the end
application. As an option to using a fuse, no fuse is
required, if the module is
1. powered by a power source with current limit
protection set point less than the protection
device value listed in Table 1, and
2. the module is evaluated in the end-use
equipment.

Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
The Naos Raptor 20A modules feature an On/Off pin with
positive logic for remote On/Off operation. If not using the
On/Off pin, leave the pin open (the module will be ON,
except for the -49 option modules where leaving the pin
open will cause the module to remain OFF). 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.
Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection in a fault condition, these modules
are equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit
will shut down if the overtemperature threshold of 130ºC
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 is disabled. The module will begin
to operate at an input voltage above the undervoltage
lockout turn-on threshold.

Feature Descriptions (continued)
Power Good
The Naos Raptor 20A 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-temperature, 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 20A module can
be programmed to any voltage from 0.59Vdc to 6Vdc 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. 48. The Upper Limit curve shows
that for output voltages of 0.9V and lower, the input
voltage must be lower than the maximum of 14V. The
Lower Limit curve shows that for output voltages of 3.8V
and higher, the input voltage needs to be larger than the
minimum of 4.5V.

Without an external resistor between Trim+ and Trim–

By using a ±0.5% tolerance trim resistor with a TC of
±25ppm, a set point tolerance of ±1.5% 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.

Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
Naos Raptor 20A modules by connecting a resistor,
Rmargin-up, from the Trim+ pin to the Trim– 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. Figure 50 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

Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
The Naos Raptor 20A modules have monotonic start-up
and shutdown behavior for any combination of rated input
voltage, output current and operating temperature range.
Tunable LoopTM
The Naos Raptor 20A 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.
51. 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 3 and 4. 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 5A to 10A step change (50% of full load),
with an input voltage of 12V. Table 4 shows the
recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different
values of ceramic output capacitors up to 1000uF, again
for an input voltage of 12V. The value of RTUNE should
never be lower than the values shown in Tables 3 and 4.
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
52. The preferred airflow direction for the module is in
Figure 53.
Figure 52. Thermal Test Set-up.
The thermal reference point, Tref used in the
specifications is shown in Figure 53. For reliable
operation this temperatures 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.
Figure 53. Temperature measurement location Tref.
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.
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.
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
These 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 details.
