Safety Considerations
For safety agency approval, the power module must be installed in compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of
the end-use safety agency standards listed on the first page of this document. For the converter output to be considered meeting
the requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV) or ES1, the input must meet SELV/ES1 requirements. The power module has
extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. The input to these units is to be provided with a fast-acting fuse with a
maximum rating of 30A, 100V (for example, Littlefuse 456 series) in the positive input lead.
Tunable Loop
The module is designed for 1x47uF capacitor on its output. For applications where more than 1x47uF capacitors would be used
on the output, an additional Resistor (Rtune) and Capacitor (Ctune) would be required in the circuit schematic to compensate for
the additional capacitance. The placement is between the Sense+ pin and Trim pin as per figure below:
The recommended values for Rtune and Ctune for
different amounts of external capacitance are as per the
table below:

PowerGood (PG)
This is an open-drain output to indicate that the output voltage is within the regulation limits of the module. The PGOOD signal
will be de-asserted to a low state if any condition such as overtemperature, overcurrent or loss of regulation occurs that would
result in the output voltage going ±10% outside the setpoint value. The default value of PGOOD ON thresholds are set at ±8% of
the nominal Vset value, and PGOOD OFF thresholds are set at ±10% of the nominal Vset. For example, if the nominal voltage
(Vset) is set at 1.0V, then the PGOOD ON thresholds will be active anytime the output voltage is between 0.92V and 1.08V, and
PGOOD OFF thresholds are active at 0.90V and 1.10V respectively. If not used, leave unconnected.

The module switching frequency can be synchronized to a
signal with an external frequency within a specified range.
Synchronization can be done by using the external signal
applied to the SYNC pin of the module as shown in Fig. 4,
with the converter being synchronized by the rising edge
of the external signal. The Electrical Specifications table
specifies the requirements of the external SYNC signal. If
the SYNC pin is not used, the module should free run at the
default switching frequency. If synchronization is not being
used, connect the SYNC pin to GND.

be digitally turned ON as that does not ensure that all
modules being paralleled turn on at the same time.
Active Load Sharing (Share Function)
For additional power requirements, the Mega DLynxTM power
module is also equipped with paralleling capability. Up to five
modules can be configured in parallel, with active load
sharing.
To implement paralleling, the following conditions must be
satisfied.
•
All modules connected in parallel must be frequency
synchronized where they are switching at the same
frequency. This is done by using the SYNC function of the
module and connecting to an external frequency source.
Modules can be interleaved to reduce input
ripple/filtering requirements.
•
The share pins of all units in parallel must be connected
together. The path of these connections should be as
direct as possible.
•
The remote sense connections to all modules should be
made that to the same points for the output, i.e. all VS+
and VS- terminals for all modules are connected to the
power bus at the same points.
•
For converters operating in parallel, tunable loop
components “RTUNE” and “CTUNE” must be selected to
meet the required transient specification. For providing
better noise immunity, we recommend that RTUNE value
to be greater than 300Ω.
Some special considerations apply for design of converters in
parallel operation:
•
•
When sizing the number of modules required for parallel
operation, take note of the fact that current sharing has
some tolerance. In addition, under transient conditions
such as a dynamic load change and during startup, all
converter output currents will not be equal. To allow for
such variation and avoid the likelihood of a converter
shutting off due to a current overload, the total capacity
of the paralleled system should be no more than 90% of
the sum of the individual converters. As an example, for
a system of four modules in parallel, the total current
drawn should be less that 90% of (3 x 40A), i.e. less than
108 A.
All modules should be turned ON and OFF together. This
is so that all modules come up at the same time avoiding
the problem of one converter sourcing current into the
other leading to an overcurrent trip condition. To ensure
that all modules come up simultaneously, the on/off pins
of all paralleled converters should be tied together and
the converters enabled and disabled using the on/off pin.
Note that this means that converters in parallel cannot
May 13, 2021
•
If the Sequencing function is being used to start-up and
shut down modules and the module is being held to 0V
by the tracking signal then there may be small deviations
on the module output. This is due to controller duty cycle
limitations encountered in trying to hold the voltage
down near 0V.
•
The share bus is not designed for redundant operation
and the system will be non-functional upon failure of one
of the units when multiple units are in parallel. In
particular, if one of the converters shuts down during
operation, the other converters may also shut down due
to their outputs hitting current limit. In such a situation,
unless a coordinated restart is ensured, the system may
never properly restart since different converters will try
to restart at different times causing an overload
condition and subsequent shutdown. This situation can
be avoided by having an external output voltage monitor
circuit that detects a shutdown condition and forces all
converters to shut down and restart together.
When not using the active load share feature, share pins
should be left unconnected.
Output Voltage Sequencing
The voltage applied to the SEQ pin should be scaled down by the
same ratio as used to scale the output voltage down to the
reference voltage of the module. Minimum recommended delay
between the ON/OFF signal and the sequencing signal is 10ms to
ensure that the module output is ramped up according to the
sequencing signal. Final value of the sequencing voltage must be set
higher than the set-point voltage of the module. The module’s
output can track the SEQ pin signal with slopes of up to 0.5V/msec
during power-up or power-down.

Nozzle Recommendations
Pb-free Reflow Profile
The minimum recommended inside nozzle diameter for reliable
operation is 3mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will
safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 7 mm.
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. D (Moisture/Reflow
Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount
Devices) for both Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification
procedures. The suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC).
The following profile is the recommended linear reflow profile using
Sn/Ag/Cu solder . Soldering outside of the recommended profile
requires testing to verify results and performance.
Bottom Side / First Side Assembly
This module is not recommended for assembly on the bottom side
of a customer board. If such an assembly is attempted, components
may fall off the module during the second reflow process

Storage and Handling
J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing, Shipping and Use of
Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices) is recommended.
Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL
ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should not be broken
until time of use. Once the original package is broken, the floor life
of the product at conditions of 30°C and 60% relative humidity
varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD-033A). The shelf life
for dry packed SMT packages will be a minimum of 12 months from
the bag seal date, when stored at the following conditions: < 40° C,
< 90% relative humidity.
Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly
process prior to electrical board testing. The result of inadequate
cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability of a power module
and the testability of the finished circuit-board assembly
