Description
The 20A Analog MicroDLynxTM power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 20A of output current.
These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V IN = 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage
from 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over
current and over temperature protection. The module also includes the Tunable Loop TM 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.

Input Filtering

The 20A Analog MicroDLynxTM module should be
connected to a low ac-impedance 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.
To minimize input voltage ripple, ceramic capacitors are
recommended at the input of the module. Figure 37 shows
the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 20A
of load current with 2x22 µF or 3x22 µF ceramic capacitors
and an input of 12V.

Output Filtering
These modules are designed for low output ripple voltage
and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with
0.1 µF ceramic and 2x47 µF ceramic capacitors at the output
of the module. However, additional output filtering may be
required by the system designer for a number of reasons.
First, there may be a need to further reduce the output ripple
and noise of the module. Second, the dynamic response
characteristics may need to be customized to a particular
load step change.
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, i.e.,
UL 60950-1 2nd, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-07, DIN EN 609501:2006 + A11 (VDE0805 Teil 1 + A11):2009-11; EN 609501:2006 + A11:2009-03.
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the input
must meet SELV requirements. The power module has
extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV.
The UVT040A0X series were tested using an external
Littelfuse 456 series fast-acting fuse rated at 30 A, 100 Vdc
in the ungrounded input.
To reduce the output ripple and improve the dynamic
response to a step load change, additional capacitance at
the output can be used. Low ESR polymer and ceramic
capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic
response of the module. Figure 38 provides output ripple
information for different external capacitance values at
various Vo and a full load current of 20A. For stable
operation of the module, limit the capacitance to less than
the maximum output capacitance as specified in the
electrical specification table. Optimal performance of the
module can be achieved by using the Tunable LoopTM feature
described later in this data sheet.

20A Analog MicroDLynxTM: Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Modules
3Vdc –14.4Vdc input; 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 20A Output Current
Analog Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
The 20A Analog MicroDLynxTM power modules feature an
On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic
options are available. In the Positive Logic On/Off option,
(device code suffix “4” – see Ordering Information), the
module turns ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and
turns OFF during a logic Low. With the Negative Logic On/Off
option, (no device code suffix, see Ordering Information), the
module turns OFF during logic High and ON during logic Low.
The On/Off signal should be always referenced to ground. For
either On/Off logic option, leaving the On/Off pin
disconnected will turn the module ON when input voltage is
present.
The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown behavior
for any combination of rated input voltage, output current
and operating temperature range.
For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is
shown in Fig. 40. The On/Off pin should be pulled high with an
external pull-up resistor (suggested value for the 3V to 14V
input range is 20Kohms). When transistor Q2 is in the OFF
state, the On/Off pin is pulled high, transistor Q3 is turned ON.
This turns Q6 ON, followed by Q5 turning ON which pulls the
internal ENABLE low and the module is OFF. To turn the
module ON, Q2 is turned ON pulling the On/Off pin low,
turning transistor Q3 OFF, which keeps Q6 and Q5 OFF
resulting in the PWM Enable pin going high.
Analog Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the module is programmable to any
voltage from 0.6dc to 5.5Vdc by connecting a resistor
between the Trim and SIG_GND pins of the module. Certain
restrictions apply on the output voltage set point depending
on the input voltage. These are shown in the Output Voltage
vs. Input Voltage Set Point Area plot in Fig. 41. The Upper
Limit curve shows that for output voltages lower than 1V,
the input voltage must be lower than the maximum of
14.4V. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output voltages
higher than 0.6V, the input voltage needs to be larger than
the minimum of 3V. .

The module can start into a prebiased output as long as the
prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output voltage.
Input Voltage (v)
For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using
the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 39. When the external
transistor Q2 is in the OFF state, the internal transistor Q7 is
turned ON, which turn Q3 OFF which keeps Q6 OFF and Q5
OFF. This allows the internal PWM #Enable signal to be pulled
up by the internal 3.3V, thus turning the module ON. When
transistor Q2 is turned ON, the On/Off pin is pulled low, which
turns Q7 OFF which turns Q3, Q6 and Q5 ON and the internal
PWM #Enable signal is pulled low and the module is OFF. A
suggested value for Rpullup is 20k.

Output Voltage Sequencing
The power module includes a sequencing feature, EZSEQUENCE that enables users to implement various types of
output voltage sequencing in their applications. This is
accomplished via an additional sequencing pin. When not
using the sequencing feature, leave it unconnected.
Remote Sense
The power module has a Remote Sense feature to minimize
the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage
between the sense pins (VS+ and VS-). The voltage drop
between the sense pins and the VOUT and GND pins of the
module should not exceed 0.5V.
Analog Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the module
by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from the Trim pin to the
ground pin for margining-up the output voltage and by
connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to output
pin for margining-down. Figure 43 shows the circuit
configuration for output voltage margining. The POL
Programming Tool, available at www.GEpower.com under the
Downloads section, also calculates the values of Rmargin-up and
Rmargin-down for a specific output voltage and % margin. Please
consult your local GE technical representative for additional
details.
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. This is accomplished
by an external resistive divider connected across the
sequencing voltage before it is fed to the SEQ pin as shown
in Fig. 44. In addition, a small capacitor (suggested value
100pF) should be connected across the lower resistor R1.
For all DLynx modules, the 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. This ensures that the
module soft-start routine is completed before the
sequencing signal is allowed to ramp up.

sequencing voltage must be set higher than the set-point
voltage of the module. The output voltage follows the
sequencing voltage on a one-to-one basis. By connecting

multiple modules together, multiple modules can track their
output voltages to the voltage applied on the SEQ pin.
To initiate simultaneous shutdown of the modules, the SEQ
pin voltage is lowered in a controlled manner. The output
voltage of the modules tracks the voltages below their setpoint voltages on a one-to-one basis. A valid input voltage
must be maintained until the tracking and output voltages
reach ground potential.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition,
the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting circuitry
and can endure current limiting continuously. At the point of
current-limit inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. The unit
operates normally once the output current is brought back
into its specified range.
Synchronization
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. 45,
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.

Overtemperature Protection
+
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped
with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will shut down if the
overtemperature threshold of 120oC(typ) is exceeded at the
thermal reference point Tref .Once the unit goes into thermal
shutdown it will then wait to cool before attempting to
restart.

Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit,
the module operation is disabled. The module will begin to
operate at an input voltage above the undervoltage lockout
turn-on threshold.

switching frequency of the module.
Dual Layout
Identical dimensions and pin layout of Analog and Digital
MicroDLynx modules permit migration from one to the other
without needing to change the layout. In both cases the trim
resistor is connected between trim and signal ground. The
output of the analog module cannot be trimmed down to
0.45V
Power Good
The module provides a Power Good (PGOOD) signal that is
implemented with an open-drain output to indicate that the
output voltage is within the regulation limits of the power
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 PGOOD
terminal can be connected through a pullup resistor
(suggested value 100K) to a source of 5VDC or lower.

Tunable LoopTM
The module has a feature that optimizes transient response
of the module called Tunable LoopTM.
External capacitors are usually added to the output of the
module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple and noise
(see Figure 38) and to reduce output voltage deviations from
the steady-state value in the presence of dynamic load
current changes. Adding external capacitance however
affects the voltage control loop of the module, typically
causing the loop to slow down with sluggish response.
Larger values of external capacitance could also cause the
module to become unstable.
The Tunable LoopTM allows the user to externally adjust the
voltage control loop to match the filter network connected to
the output of the module. The Tunable LoopTM is implemented
by connecting a series R-C between the VS+ and TRIM pins of
the module, as shown in Fig. 46. This R-C allows the user to
externally adjust the voltage loop feedback compensation of
the module.
different values of ceramic output capacitors up to 1000uF
that might be needed for an application to meet output ripple
and noise requirements. Selecting RTUNE and CTUNE according
to Table 3 will ensure stable operation of the module.
In applications with tight output voltage limits in the presence
of dynamic current loading, additional output capacitance
will be required. Table 3 lists recommended values of RTUNE
and CTUNE in order to meet 2% output voltage deviation limits
for some common output voltages in the presence of a 10A
to 20A step change (50% of full load), with an input voltage of
12V.
Please contact your GE technical representative to obtain
more details of this feature as well as for guidelines on how
to select the right value of external R-C to tune the module
for best transient performance and stable operation for other
output capacitance values.

Thermal Considerations
Power modules operate in a variety of thermal environments;
however, sufficient cooling should always be provided to help
ensure reliable operation.
Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow, module
power dissipation, and the need for increased reliability. A
reduction in the operating temperature of the module will
result in an increase in reliability. The thermal data presented
here is based on physical measurements taken in a wind
tunnel. The test set-up is shown in Figure 48. The preferred
airflow direction for the module is in Figure 49.
The thermal reference points, Tref used in the specifications
are also shown in Figure 49. For reliable operation the
temperatures at these points should not exceed 130oC. The
output power of the module should not exceed the rated
power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max).
Please refer to the Application Note “Thermal
Characterization Process For Open-Frame Board-Mounted
Power Modules” for a detailed discussion of thermal
aspects including maximum device temperatures.

Shock and Vibration
The ruggedized (-D version) of the modules are designed to
withstand elevated levels of shock and vibration to be able to
operate in harsh environments. The ruggedized modules
have been successfully tested to the following conditions:
Non operating random vibration:
Random vibration tests conducted at 25C, 10 to 2000Hz, for
30 minutes each level, starting from 30Grms (Z axis) and up to
50Grms (Z axis). The units were then subjected to two more
tests of 50Grms at 30 minutes each for a total of 90 minutes.
Operating shock to 40G per Mil Std. 810G, Method 516.4
Procedure I:
The modules were tested in opposing directions along each
of three orthogonal axes, with waveform and amplitude of
the shock impulse characteristics as follows:
All shocks were half sine pulses, 11 milliseconds (ms) in
duration in all 3 axes.
Units were tested to the Functional Shock Test of MIL-STD810, Method 516.4, Procedure I - Figure 516.4-4. A shock

Operating vibration per Mil Std 810G, Method 514.5
Procedure I:
The ruggedized (-D version) modules are designed and
tested to vibration levels as outlined in MIL-STD-810G,
Method 514.5, and Procedure 1, using the Power Spectral
Density (PSD) profiles as shown in Table 7 and Table 8 for all
axes. Full compliance with performance specifications was
required during the performance test. No damage was
allowed to the module and full compliance to performance
specifications was required when the endurance
environment was removed. The module was tested per MILSTD-810, Method 514.5, Procedure I, for functional
(performance) and endurance random vibration using the
performance and endurance levels shown in Table 7 and
Table 8 for all axes. The performance test has been split,
with one half accomplished before the endurance test and
one half after the endurance test (in each axis). The duration
of the performance test was at least 16 minutes total per
axis and at least 120 minutes total per axis for the
endurance test. The endurance test period was 2 hours
minimum per axis.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The 20A Analog MicroDLynxTM modules use an open frame
construction and are designed for a fully automated
assembly process. The modules are fitted with a label
designed to provide a large surface area for pick and place
operations. The label meets all the requirements for surface
mount processing, as well as safety standards, and is able to
withstand reflow temperatures of up to 300oC. The label also
carries product information such as product code, serial
number and the location of manufacture.
detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing, Shipping and
Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface Mount Devices).
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.

The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using
open frame construction. Variables such as nozzle size, tip
style, vacuum pressure and placement speed should be
considered to optimize this process. 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.

Bottom Side / First Side Assembly
Reflow Time (Seconds)
Only the -D version of this module can be placed at the
bottom side of the customer board. No additional glue
or adhesive is required to hold the module during the
top side reflow process. Serial numbers with date codes
starting from 19xx20xxxxxx (19 – year, 20 - week) are
suitable for bottom side placement.
Lead Free Soldering
The modules are lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and
fully compatible in a Pb-free soldering process. Failure to
observe the instructions below may result in the failure of or
cause damage to the modules and can adversely affect longterm reliability.
Figure 50. Recommended linear reflow profile using
Sn/Ag/Cu solder.
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. For guidance on
appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures, refer
to Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning
Application Note (AN04-001).
Pb-free Reflow Profile
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C
(Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic
Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for both Pb-free solder
profiles and MSL classification procedures. This standard
provides a recommended forced-air-convection reflow profile
based on the volume and thickness of the package (table 42). The suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). For
questions regarding Land grid array(LGA) soldering, solder
volume; please contact GE for special manufacturing process
instructions. The recommended linear reflow profile using
Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Fig. 50. Soldering outside of the
recommended profile requires testing to verify results and
performance.
MSL Rating
The 20A Analog MicroDLynxTM modules have a MSL rating of
2a.
