COPPER STRIP VO (+) RESISTIVE LOAD 1uF . 10uF TM The Austin MiniLynx SMT module should be connected to a low-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 polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module.

TM The Austin MiniLynx SMT module is designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with 1 F ceramic and 10 F tantalum 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. 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. For stable operation of the module, limit the capacitance to less than the maximum output capacitance as specified in the electrical specification table. LINEAGE POWER 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 input to these units is to be provided with a fastacting fuse with a maximum rating of 6A in the positive input lead. 11 Austin MiniLynxTM SMT Non-isolated Power Modules: 2.4 - 5.5Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 3.63Vdc Output; 3A output current Data Sheet September 10, 2013 Feature Description VIN+ Remote On/Off TM The Austin MiniLynx SMT power modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic options are available in the Austin MiniLynxTM series modules. Positive Logic On/Off signal, device code suffix "4", turns the module ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and turns the module OFF during a logic Low. Negative logic On/Off signal, no device code suffix, turns the module OFF during logic High on the On/Off pin and turns the module ON during logic Low. For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 30. The On/Off pin is an open collector/drain logic input signal (Von/Off) that is referenced to ground. During a logichigh (On/Off pin is pulled high internal to the module) when the transistor Q1 is in the Off state, the power module is ON. Maximum allowable leakage current of the transistor when Von/off = VIN,max is 10A. Applying a logic-low when the transistor Q1 is turnedOn, the power module is OFF. During this state VOn/Off must be less than 0.3V. When not using positive logic On/off pin, leave the pin unconnected or tie to VIN. MODULE VIN+ R2 ON/OFF I ON/OFF + VON/OFF Q2 R1 PWM Enable R3 Q1 Q3 CSS R4 GND _ Figure 30. Circuit configuration for using positive logic On/OFF. For negative logic On/Off devices, the circuit configuration is shown is Figure 31. The On/Off pin is pulled high with an external pull-up resistor (typical Rpull-up = 5k, +/- 5%). When transistor Q1 is in the Off state, logic High is applied to the On/Off pin and the power module is Off. The minimum On/off voltage for logic High on the On/Off pin is 1.5Vdc. To turn the module ON, logic Low is applied to the On/Off pin by turning ON Q1. When not using the negative logic On/Off, leave the pin unconnected or tie to GND.

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. The typical average output current during hiccup is 2A. Input Undervoltage Lockout At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit, module operation is disabled. The module will begin to operate at an input voltage above the undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold. Overtemperature Protection To provide over temperature protection in a fault condition, the unit relies upon the thermal protection feature of the controller IC. The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref, o exceeds 140 C (typical), but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating. The module will automatically restart after it cools down. Output Voltage Programming TM The output voltage of the Austin MiniLynx SMT can be programmed to any voltage from 0.75 Vdc to 3.63 Vdc by connecting a single resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 32) between the TRIM and GND pins of the module. Without an external resistor between TRIM pin and the ground, the output voltage of the module is 0.7525 Vdc. To calculate the value of the resistor Rtrim for a particular output voltage Vo, use the following equation: 21070 Rtrim = - 5110 Vo - 0.7525 12 Data Sheet September 10, 2013 Austin MiniLynxTM SMT Non-isolated Power Modules: 2.4 - 5.5Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 3.63Vdc Output; 3A output current Feature Descriptions (continued) Output Voltage Programming (continued) For example, to program the output voltage of the Austin MiniLynxTM module to 1.8 Vdc, Rtrim is calculated is follows: 21070 Rtrim = - 5110 1 . 8 - 0 . 7525 Rtrim = 15.004 k margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to the Output pin for margining-down.

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.

Even so, these modules have a relatively large mass when compared to conventional SMT components. Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and pick & placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 3mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 8 mm max. 230 225 220 215 210 205 200 0 Tin Lead Soldering The Austin MiniLynxTM SMT power modules are lead free modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free solder process or a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process.

Failure to observe the instructions below may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules and can adversely affect long-term reliability. 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 4-2). The suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Figure. 39. 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 30C 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. For guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures, refer to Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note (AN04-001). 300 200 Storage and Handling TM The Austin MiniLynx modules have a MSL rating of 1.
