Description
The 12V MegaTLynxTM power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 30A of output current. These modules
operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 6Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.8Vdc to
3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over
temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and paralleling with active current sharing (-P versions). A new feature, the
Tunable LoopTM, 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.

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 the device reliability.
