Description
The 12V PicoTLynx
TM
3A power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 3A of output
current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 4.5Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.59Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include
remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and overtemperature protection, and output voltage
sequencing (APTS versions). The Ruggedized version (-D) is capable of operation up to 105°C and withstand
TM
high levels of shock and vibration. A new feature, the Tunable Loop , 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.
