These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 2.4Vdc-5.5Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.6Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and overtemperature protection, and output voltage sequencing (APTH versions). A new feature, the Tunable TM Loop , 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. * UL is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

An input line fuse must always be used. This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an integrated part of sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 5A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used.

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. COM To minimize input voltage ripple, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. Figure 34 shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 3A of load current with 1x22 F or 2x22 F ceramic capacitors and an input of 5V.

Low ESR ceramic and polymer capacitors are recommended to improve the dynamic response of the module. Figure 36 provides output ripple information for different external capacitance values at various Vo and for load currents of 3A while maintaining an input voltage of 5V. Fig 37 shows the performance with a 3.3V input. 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 Loop feature described later in this data sheet. 30 15 Ripple(mVp-p) The Pico 3A modules are designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with 0.1 F ceramic and 10 F 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. 1x10uF External Cap 1x47uF External cap 2x47uF External Cap 4x47uF external Cap 10 5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 Output Voltage(Volts) 2.5 3 Figure 37.

Output ripple voltage for various output voltages with external 1x10 F, 1x47 F, 2x47 F or 4x47 F ceramic capacitors at the output (3A load). Input voltage is 5V. Remote On/Off The Pico TLynxTM 3A 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 is 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 38. When the external transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, Q2 is ON, the internal PWM Enable signal is pulled low and the module is ON. When transistor Q1 is turned ON, the On/Off pin is pulled low, Q2 is turned off and the internal PWM Enable signal is pulled high through the 100K internal pull-up resistor and the module is OFF.

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. Without an external resistor between Trim and GND pins, the output of the module will be 0.6Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor, Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following equation: 1.2 Rtrim = k (Vo - 0.6 ) Rtrim is the external resistor in k Vo is the desired output voltage. Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common output voltages. Table 1 Overtemperature Protection To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will shutdown if the overtemperature threshold of 140oC is exceeded at the September 11, 2013 6 0.5 + VON/OFF Q1 The output voltage of the Pico TLynxTM 3A modules can be programmed to any voltage from 0.6Vdc to 3.63Vdc by connecting a resistor between the Trim and 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. 40.

GND gure 41. Circuit configuration for programming output voltage using an external resistor. Fi Remote Sense The Pico TLynxTM 3A modules have 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 must not exceed 0.5V. Note that the output voltage of the module cannot exceed the specified maximum value. This includes the voltage drop between the SENSE and Vout pins. When the Remote Sense feature is not being used, connect the SENSE pin to the VOUT pin. Voltage Margining Output voltage margining can be implemented in the Pico TLynxTM 3A modules by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-up, from the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to output pin for margining-down. Figure 42 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining. The POL Programming Tool, available at www.lineagepower.com under the Design Tools section, also calculates the values of Rmargin-up and Rmargin-down for a specific output voltage and % margin. Please consult your local GE technical representative for additional details. September 11, 2013 Startup into Pre-biased Output The 5.5V Pico TLynxTM 6A modules can start into a prebiased output as long as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output voltage. Note that prebias operation is not supported when output voltage sequencing is used. Output Voltage Sequencing The Pico TLynxTM modules include a sequencing feature, EZSEQUENCE 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, either tie the SEQ pin to VIN or leave it unconnected. When an analog voltage is applied to the SEQ pin, the output voltage tracks this voltage until the output reaches the setpoint voltage. The final value of the SEQ voltage must be set higher than the set-point voltage of the module. The output voltage follows the voltage on the SEQ pin on a one-to-one volt basis. By connecting the SEQ pins of multiple modules together, all modules can track their output voltages to the voltage applied on the SEQ pin. For proper voltage sequencing, first, input voltage is applied to the module. The On/Off pin of the module is left unconnected (or tied to GND for negative logic modules or tied to VIN for positive logic modules) so that the module is ON by default. After applying input voltage to the module, a minimum 10msec delay is required before applying voltage on the SEQ pin. This delay gives the module enough time to complete its internal power-up soft-start cycle. During the delay time, the SEQ pin should be held close to ground (nominally 50mV 20 mV). This is required to keep the internal op-amp out of (c)2013 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

By selecting resistor R1 (see fig. 43) according to the following equation R1 = 24950 ohms, V IN - 0.05 the voltage at the sequencing pin will be 50mV when the sequencing signal is at zero. 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 Loop is implemented by connecting a series R-C between the SENSE and TRIM pins of the module, as shown in Fig. 44. This R-C allows the user to externally adjust the voltage loop feedback compensation of the module. MODULE VIN+ External capacitors are usually added to the output of the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple and noise (see Figures 36 and 37) 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. 499K + R1 SEQ VOUT SENSE OUT 10K - RTUNE MODULE GND CO CTUNE Figure 43. Circuit showing connection of the sequencing signal to the SEQ pin. After the 10msec delay, an analog voltage is applied to the SEQ pin and the output voltage of the module will track this voltage on a one-to-one volt bases until the output reaches the set-point voltage. To initiate simultaneous shutdown of the modules, the SEQ pin voltage is lowered in a controlled manner. 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. When using the EZ-SEQUENCETM feature to control start-up of the module, pre-bias immunity during start-up is disabled. The pre-bias immunity feature of the module relies on the module being in the diode-mode during start-up. When using the EZ-SEQUENCETM feature, modules goes through an internal set-up time of 10msec, and will be in synchronous rectification mode when the voltage at the SEQ pin is applied. This will result in the module sinking current if a pre-bias voltage is present at the output of the module. When prebias immunity during start-up is required, the EZSEQUENCETM feature must be disabled. For additional guidelines on using the EZ-SEQUENCETM feature please refer to Application Note AN04-008 "Application Guidelines for Non-Isolated Converters: Guidelines for Sequencing of Multiple Modules", or contact the GE technical representative for additional information. Tunable Loop TRIM GND RTrim Figure. 44. 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, 3, 4 and 5. Tables 2 and 4 show the recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different values of ceramic output capacitors up to 470uF that might be needed for an application to meet output ripple and noise requirements for 5Vin and 3.3Vin respectively. 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. Tables 3 and 5 list 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 1.5A to 3A step change (50% of full load), with an input voltage of 5Vin and 3.3Vin respectively Please contact your GE 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 3.3 or 5V.

The ruggedized modules have been successfully tested to the following conditions: Non operating random vibration: Random vibration tests conducted at 25C, 10 to 2000Hz, for 30 minutes each level, starting from 30Grms (Z axis) and up to 50Grms (Z axis). The units were then subjected to two more tests of 50Grms at 30 minutes each for a total of 90 minutes. Operating shock to 40G per Mil Std. 810F, Method 516.4 Procedure I: The modules were tested in opposing directions along each of three orthogonal axes, with waveform and amplitude of the shock impulse characteristics as follows: All shocks were half sine pulses, 11 milliseconds (ms) in duration in all 3 axes. Units were tested to the Functional Shock Test of MIL-STD-810, Method 516.4, Procedure I - Figure 516.4-4. A shock magnitude of 40G was utilized. The operational units were subjected to three shocks in each direction along three axes for a total of eighteen shocks. Operating vibration per Mil Std 810F, Method 514.5 Procedure I: The ruggedized (-D version) modules are designed and tested to vibration levels as outlined in MIL-STD-810F, Method 514.5, and Procedure 1, using the Power Spectral Density (PSD) profiles as shown in Table 6 and Table 7 for all axes. Full compliance with performance specifications was required during the performance test. No damage was allowed to the module and full compliance to performance specifications was required when the endurance environment was removed. The module was tested per MIL-STD810, Method 514.5, Procedure I, for functional (performance) and endurance random vibration using the performance and endurance levels shown in Table 6 and Table 7 for all axes. The performance test has been split, with one half accomplished before the endurance test and one half after the endurance test (in each axis). The duration of the performance test was at least 16 minutes total per axis and at least 120 minutes total per axis for the endurance test. The endurance test period was 2 hours minimum per axis.

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. If assembly on the bottom side is planned, please contact GE for special manufacturing process instructions. Only ruggedized (-D version) modules with additional epoxy will work with a customer's first side assembly. For other versions, first side assembly should be avoided Lead Free Soldering The Pico TLynxTM 3A 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. 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 30C and 60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD033A). 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. 300 Per J-STD-020 Rev.

Fi 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). 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 Fig. 47. Soldering outside of the recommended profile requires testing to verify results and performance.
