Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other
conditions in excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

The output voltage measured at the converter output pins on the system board will be within the range
shown in Table 3, except during turn-on and turn-off periods. The static limits apply to ambient temperatures
between 0 °C and 70 °C. Static voltage regulation includes:
• DC output initial voltage and set point adjust
• Output load ranges specified in tables above
• Temperature and warm-up input voltage tolerances specified in input voltage and current

Transient Response
The output voltage measured at the converter output pins on the system board is within the transient range
shown in Table 3. The transient response is measured with DC – 200 MHz frequency band width, and at
ambient temperatures between 0 °C and 70 °C.
Typical transient response and noise waveforms are shown in Figures 5 – 16.
Output voltage ripple and noise are defined as periodic or random signals measured at the output pins on
the system board with DC – 200 MHz frequency bandwidth and constant load. Figures 17 – 20 represent
output voltage ripple and noise at characteristic input and output voltages, measured with 200 MHz
bandwidth and 16A constant current load.

Output Overvoltage Protection
Protection level: The converter provides overvoltage protection by latching off when the output
voltage rises beyond V
voltage. Care must be taken because the voltage increase due to T
contribute to V
Overvoltage protection circuit protects against shorted feedback/sense connections.
Voltage sequencing: No allowed variation of input voltages or output current or control signals will falsely
trigger an OVP event or damage the module.

Reset After Shutdown
If the module goes into an overvoltage shutdown state, the module cannot return to normal operation mode
even after the fault has been removed. Input voltage of the module must be reset to restart the module.
Output Overcurrent Protection
Overcurrent protection is provided to protect the module from damage caused by excessive output current.
Current overload is from 5% to 60% over the maximum output current values given in the thermal derating
curves (at 25 °C, 400 LFM, see thermal derating curves Figure 26 – 37). The module will shut down until the
overload is removed, and then will automatically restart.
Overtemperature Protection
The module is protected against failure from overtemperature conditions created by high ambient
temperature or by low or no airflow condition. It will either operate properly within the requirements or shut
down (nonlatching). The module will function as specified under overtemperature conditions until disabled

Remote Sense
The remote sense inputs (OUTSENSE + and OUTSENSE -) should be connected to the load, using separate
sense traces on the system board as shown in Figure 42. Remote sense can compensate for the total output
voltage drop by up to the amount indicated in Table 6. These values are calculated to prevent unwanted
overvoltage protection by the module under the worst possible voltage error listed in Table 3 (including
transient error). In the event of an open remote sense lines, the module will maintain local sense regulation
through 100Ω internal resistors connected to the V
OUT pins, with an additional + 0.3% DC error in VOUT.

Fusing Considerations
A 10A fuse is required for input voltages of 10.6V and higher. It is not required for input voltages below
10.6V. The following fuse or equivalent is recommended:
The fuse should be located in the input voltage bus side of the input capacitor to minimize inductance
between the input capacitor and the Zephyr Power Module. The fuse shoul d not be located in proximity to
any object which might abnormally ‘preheat’ the fuse, causing undesired melting.
The Zephyr Power Module begins regulating with an input voltage above approximately 4V and will draw
more input current at lower voltages. If the input voltage rise times and fall times are too slow, shorter fuse
life and nuisance opening may occur. To minimize such fuse input current stresses, the module should be
enabled after input voltage is applied and disabled before input voltage is removed, by using the OUTEN pi n.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The Zephyr 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 300
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. 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 placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The
minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 6mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter,
which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 9 mm. Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 9
mm may also be used within the space available.
Tin Lead Soldering
The Zephyr 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 235
Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183
o
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.
Lead Free Soldering
The –Z version Austin SuperLynx II 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 longterm 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. 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. 50.

MSL Rating
The Zephyr SMT modules have a MSL rating of 1.
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/Reflo w
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 appropri ate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures,
refer to Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Not e (AN0 4-001).
