The Austin SuperLynxTM 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. January 20, 2016 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 fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 20A in the positive input lead. (c)2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 11 GE Data Sheet 16A Austin SuperLynxTM: Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Modules 3Vdc -5.5Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 3.63Vdc output; 16A Output Current Feature Description Output Voltage Programming Remote On/Off The output voltage of the Austin SuperLynxTM 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 29) 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: The Austin SuperLynxTM SMT power modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation of the module. The circuit configuration for using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 28. The On/Off pin is an open collector/drain logic input signal (Von/Off) that is referenced to ground. During a logic-high (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 turned-On, 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. VIN+ 21070 Rtrim = - 5110 Vo - 0.7525 For example, to program the output voltage of the Austin SuperLynxTM module to 1.8 Vdc, Rtrim is calculated is follows: MODULE 21070 - 5110 1.8 - 0.7525 Rtrim = R2 ON/OFF + I ON/OFF Rtrim = 15.004k Q2 R1 VON/OFF PWM Enable V IN(+) V O(+) Vout R3 Q1 Q3 CSS ON/OFF LOAD TRIM R4 GND R trim _ GND Figure 28. Remote On/Off Implementation. Overcurrent Protection Figure 29. Circuit configuration for programming output voltage using an external resistor. 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 3.5A. The Austin SuperLynxTM can also be programmed by applying a voltage between the TRIM and the GND pins (Figure 30). The following equation can be used to determine the value of Vtrim needed to obtain a desired output voltage Vo: Input Undervoltage Lockout For example, to program the output voltage of a SuperLynxTM module to 3.3 Vdc, Vtrim is calculated as follows: 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. Vtrim = (0.7 - 0.1698 x {Vo - 0.7525}) Vtrim = (0.7 - 0.1698 x {3.3 - 0.7525}) Vtrim = 0.2670V 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, exceeds 125oC (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. January 20, 2016 (c)2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

The voltage between the Sense pin and Vo pin must not exceed 0.5V. The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the output voltage multiplied by the output current (Vo x Io). When using Remote Sense, the output voltage of the module can increase, which if the same output is maintained, increases the power output by the module. Make sure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power. When the Remote Sense feature is not being used, connect the Remote Sense pin to the output pin.

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 34. Note that the airflow is parallel to the short axis of the module as shown in figure 33. The derating data applies to airflow in either direction of the module's short axis. detailed discussion of thermal aspects including maximum device temperatures. 25.4_ (1.0) Wind Tunnel PWBs Power Mod ule 76.2_ (3.0) x 5.97_ (0.235) Prob e Loc a tion for mea suring a irflow a nd a m b ient tem p era ture Air flow Figure 34. Thermal Test Set-up. Heat Transfer via Convection Figure 33. Tref Temperature measurement location. The thermal reference point, Tref used in the specifications is shown in Figure 33. For reliable operation this temperature should not exceed 115oC. Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat transfer via convection. Thermal derating curves showing the maximum output current that can be delivered at different local ambient temperatures (TA) for airflow conditions ranging from natural convection and up to 2m/s (400 ft./min) are shown in the Characteristics Curves section. Layout Considerations Copper paths must not be routed beneath the power module. For additional layout guide-lines, refer to the FLTR100V10 application note. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max).

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. The Austin SuperLynxTM SMT power modules are large mass, low thermal resistance devices and typically heat up slower than other SMT components. It is recommended that the customer review data sheets in order to customize the solder reflow profile for each application board assembly. The following instructions must be observed when soldering these units. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules, and can adversely affect long-term reliability. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC, wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow technologies currently used in the industry. These surface mount power modules can be reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be established by accurately measuring the modules pin temperatures. Figure 35. Pick and Place Location. Nozzle Recommendations The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open frame construction. 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 placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 6mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 9 mm. Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 9 mm may also be used within the space available.

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. Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations 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-airconvection reflow profile based on the volume and thickness of the package (table 4-2). The suggested Pbfree solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Fig. 37. MSL Rating The Austin SuperLynx SMT modules have a MSL rating of 2a. Storage and Handling 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 Per J-STD-020 Rev.
