Description
The 12V TLynxTM series of 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 (VIN = 4.5Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.69Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include
frequency synchronization, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and temperature protection,
power good and output voltage sequencing. The Ruggedized version (-D) is capable of operation up to 105°C and
withstand high levels of shock and vibration. 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.
