Description
The GigaTLynxTM series of power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 50A of output current. These
modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 4.5Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.7Vdc
to 2.0Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over
temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and paralleling. The Tunable LoopTM feature, 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.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an integrated part of
sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety
and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a surface mount, fast acting fuse (ie. Littelfuse 456030
series) with a maximum rating of 30 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on
inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s
data sheet for further information.

Test Configurations
Design Considerations
Input Filtering
CURRENT PROBE
The Giga TLynxTM module should be connected to a low acimpedance source. A highly inductive source can affect the
stability of the module. An input capacitance must be placed
directly adjacent to the input pin of the module, to minimize
input ripple voltage and ensure module stability.
