Description

The 12A Digital SlimLynx

power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 12A of output current. These

modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V

= 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from

0.45Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor and PMBus control. Features include a digital interface using the PMBus

protocol, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection. The PMBus interface supports a

range of commands to both control and monitor the module. The module also includes the Tunable Loop

feature that 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.
