Description

The 20A Analog Micro DLynx

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

= 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 Tunable Loop

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.

20A Analog Micro DLynxTM: Non-isolated DC-DC Power Modules

3 – 14.4Vdc input; 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 20A output current

LINEAGE POWER 12

Design Considerations

Input Filtering

The 20A Analog Micro DLynxTM 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.

Input Ripple Voltage (mVp-p)

Output Voltage (Vdc)

Figure 37. Input ripple voltage for various output

voltages with 2x22 µF or 3x22 µF ceramic

capacitors at the input (20A load). Input voltage is

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.

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

32 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.

Figure 38. Output ripple voltage for various output

voltages with external 2x47 µF, 4x47 µF, 6x47 µF or

8x47 µF ceramic capacitors at the output (20A

load). Input voltage is 12V.

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, i.e., UL 60950-1 2nd, CSA C22.2 No.

60950-1-07, DIN EN 60950-1:2006 + A11 (VDE0805

Teil 1 + A11):2009-11; EN 60950-1:2006 + 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 MicroDLynx series were tested using an external

Littelfuse 456 series fast-acting fuse rated at 30 A, 100

Vdc in the ungrounded input.

20A Analog Micro DLynxTM: Non-isolated DC-DC Power Modules

3 – 14.4Vdc input; 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 20A output current

LINEAGE POWER 13

Feature Descriptions

Remote On/Off

The 20A Analog Micro DLynxTM 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.

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 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, Q6 and Q5

ON and the internal PWM #Enable signal is pulled low

and the module is OFF. A suggested value for Rpullup is

20kΩ.

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.

On/Off logic.

On/Off logic.

Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown

The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown

behavior for any combination of rated input voltage,

output current and operating temperature range.

Startup into Pre-biased Output

The module can start into a prebiased output as long

as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output

voltage.

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. .

voltage can be set for different input voltages.

Remote Sense

The power module has a Remote Sense feature to

minimize the effects of distribution losses by regulating

the voltage at the SENSE pin. The voltage between

the SENSE pin and VOUT pin should not exceed 0.5V

Voltage Margining

Output voltage margining can be implemented in the

module by connecting a resistor, R

margin-up

, from the

Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the output

voltage and by connecting a resistor, R

margin-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.lineagepower.com under the Downloads section,

also calculates the values of R

margin-up

and R

margin-down

for a specific output voltage and % margin. Please

consult your local Lineage Power technical

representative for additional details.

Output voltage.

Output Voltage Sequencing

The power module includes a sequencing feature, EZ-

SEQUENCE 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.

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. 43.

Figure 44. Circuit showing connection of the

sequencing signal to the SEQ pin.

When the scaled down sequencing voltage is applied

to the SEQ pin, the output voltage tracks this voltage

until the output reaches the set-point voltage. The final

value of the 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.

LINEAGE POWER 15

The output voltage of the modules tracks the voltages

below their set-point 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.

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.

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.

SYNC

synchronize switching frequency of the module.

Dual Layout

Identical dimensions and pin layout of Analog and

Digital Micro DLynx 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.

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 100KΩ) 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 SENSE 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.

Figure. 46. Circuit diagram showing connection of

RTUME and CTUNE to tune the control loop of the

module.

Recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different

output capacitor combinations are given in Tables 2

and 3. Table 2 shows the recommended values of

RTUNE and CTUNE for 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 2 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 Lineage Power 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 or input voltages other than 12V.

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 47. The preferred airflow direction

for the module is in Figure 48.

Surface Mount Information

Pick and Place

The 20A Analog Micro DLynxTM 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.

Nozzle Recommendations

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

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.

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 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).

For questions regarding Land grid array(LGA)

soldering, solder volume; please contact Lineage

Power for special manufacturing process instructions.

The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu

solder is shown in Fig. 49. Soldering outside of the

recommended profile requires testing to verify results

and performance.

MSL Rating

The 20A Analog Micro DLynxTM modules have a MSL

rating of 2.

Storage and Handling

The recommended storage environment and handling

procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount

packages is 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.

Figure 49. 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).
