Description
The 9-36V ProLynx series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 5A of output
current. These modules operate over an extra wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 9Vdc – 36Vdc) and provide a
precisely regulated output voltage from 3Vdc to 18Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Two new features
added with this family of products are the ability to externally tune the voltage control loop and a variable current
limit inversely dependent on output voltage. Other features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over
TM
current and over temperature protection. 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 and AutoLimit enables the module to deliver the max possible output power across the entire voltage range.
