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.

TLynxTM: Non-isolated DC-DC Power Modules:
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
TM
Loop
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
0850:2004-09 (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

pulling the On/Off pin low.
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 kΩ, 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. 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.

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

from the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the
output voltage and by connecting a resistor, R
from the Trim pin to output pin for margining-down.

Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
The TLynx
TM
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

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

TM
feature must be disabled. For

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
TM
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

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
