Description
The 16V Pico TLynx
TM
4A power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 4A of output
current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 8Vdc-16Vdc) and provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.59Vdc to 8.0 Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote
On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection. 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.
