Description
The Micro TLynx series of 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 (VIN = 2.4Vdc-5.5Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.6Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and overtemperature protection, and output voltage sequencing (APTH 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.

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The Micro TLynx 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, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. Figure 34 shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 3A of load current with 1x47 µF or 2x47 µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 5V. Figure 35 shows data for the 3.3Vin case, with 1x47µF or 2x37µF of ceramic capacitors at the input.
