Description
The 12V Pico TLynxTM 6A power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 6A 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 0.59Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote
On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection, and output voltage sequencing
(APTS versions). The Ruggedized version (-D) is capable of operation up to 105°C and withstand high levels of
shock and vibration. 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.
