Description
The TLynxTM series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 20A of output current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V output voltage from 0.6Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and overtemperature protection, and output voltage sequencing (APTH versions). A new feature, the Tunable Loop
TM
, 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.

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 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 fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 20A (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 TLynxTM module should be connected to a low ac-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 34 shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 20A of load current with 2x47 µF or 4x47 µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 5V. Figure 35 shows data for the 3.3Vin case, with 2x47µF or 4x47µF of ceramic capacitors at the input.

Output Filtering
The TLynxTM 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 ceramic and polymer capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic response of the module. Figure 36 provides output ripple information for different external capacitance values at various Vo and for load currents of 20A while maintaining an input voltage of 5V. Fig 37 shows the performance with a 3.3V input. 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

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 0850:2004-09 (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 20A in the positive input lead

Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
The TLynxTM modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic options are available. In the Positive Logic On/Off option, (device code suffix “4”- see Ordering Information), the module turns ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and turns OFF during a logic Low. With the Negative Logic On/Off option, (no device code suffix, see Ordering Information), the module turns OFF during logic High and ON during logic Low. The On/Off signal is always referenced to ground. For either On/Off logic option, leaving the On/Off pin disconnected will turn the module ON when input voltage is present.
For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 38. When the external transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the On/Off pin is pulled high internally and the module is ON. When transistor Q1 is turned ON, the On/Off pin is pulled low and the module is OFF.

For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is shown in Fig. 39. The On/Off pin should be pulled high with an external pull-up resistor (suggested value for the 2.4V to 5.5Vin range is
8.2Kohms). When transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the On/Off pin is pulled high and the module is OFF. The On/Off threshold for logic High on the On/Off pin depends on the input voltage and its minimum value is V
– 1.6V. To turn the module ON, Q1 is turned ON

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.

Overcurrent 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 144 exceeded at the thermal reference point T 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, 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 TLynxTM module can be programmed to any voltage from 0.6dc to 3.63Vdc by connecting a resistor between the Trim+ and GND 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. 40. The Upper Limit curve shows that the entire output voltage range is available with the maximum input voltage of 5.5V. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output voltages of 1.8V and higher, the input voltage needs to be larger than the minimum of
2.4V.

Without an external resistor between Trim+ and GND pins, the output of the module will be 0.6Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor, Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following equation:
Rtrim is the external resistor in k, and Vo is the desired output voltage.
Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common output voltages.
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.

Remote Sense
The TLynxTM modules have a Remote Sense feature to minimize the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage at the 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

Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
The TLynx

modules have monotonic start-up and
shutdown behavior for any combination of rated input voltage, output current and operating temperature range.
Output Voltage Sequencing
The APTH020A0X modules include a sequencing feature, 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, either tie the SEQ pin to V 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 volt 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 for negative logic modules or tied to V
IN for positive logic modules) 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. During this time, a voltage of 50mV (± 20 mV) must be maintained on the SEQ pin. This can be done by applying the sequencing voltage through a resistor R1connected in series with the SEQ pin as shown in Figure 40. By choosing R1 according to the following equation

Figure 43. Circuit showing connection of the sequencing signal to the SEQ pin.
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 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.
When using the EZ-SEQUENCE
TM
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-SEQUENCE
TM
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 start-up is required, the EZ­SEQUENCE additional guidelines on using the EZ-SEQUENCE
TM
feature must be disabled. For
TM
feature please refer to Application Note AN04-008 “Application Guidelines for Non-Isolated Converters: Guidelines for Sequencing of Multiple Modules”, or contact the Lineage Power technical representative for additional information.

Tunable Loop
The TLynxTM series of modules have a new feature that optimizes transient response of the module called the Tunable Loop External capacitors are usually added to the output of the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple and noise (see Figures 36 and 37) 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.
The Tunable Loop the voltage control loop to match the filter network connected to the output of the module. The Tunable

Loop
is implemented 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.

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 preferred airflow direction for the module is shown in Figure 46.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The TLynxTM 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
o
300
C. The label also carries product information such as product code, serial number and the location of manufacture.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open frame construction. Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and 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 7 mm.
Lead Free Soldering
The TLynxTM modules are lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and fully compatible in a Pb-free 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 Fig. 42. Soldering outside of the recommended profile requires testing to verify results and performance.

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 (AN04-001).
MSL Rating
The TLynxTM 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
