The Austin LynxTM II 12VSMT 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. October 2, 2015 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 15A in the positive input lead. (c)2015 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 11 GE Data Sheet 12V Austin LynxTMII: SMT Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Modules 8.3Vdc -14Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 10A Output Current Feature Description VIN+ Remote On/Off Austin LynxTM II 12V SMT power modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic options are available in the Austin LynxTM II 12V series modules. Positive Logic On/Off signal, device code suffix "4", turns the module ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and turns the module OFF during a logic Low. Negative logic On/Off signal, no device code suffix, turns the module OFF during logic High and turns the module ON during logic Low. For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 27. 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 logiclow 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+ MODULE R2 ON/OFF + I ON/OFF Q2 PWM Enable R3 Q1 Q3 CSS R4 _ Figure 27. Remote On/Off Implementation. For negative logic On/Off devices, the circuit configuration is shown is Figure 28. The On/Off pin is pulled high with an external pull-up resistor (typical Rpull-up = 68k, +/- 5%). When transistor Q1 is in the Off state, logic High is applied to the On/Off pin and the power module is Off. The minimum On/off voltage for logic High on the On/Off pin is 2.5 Vdc. To turn the module ON, logic Low is applied to the On/Off pin by turning ON Q1. When not using the negative logic On/Off, leave the pin unconnected or tie to GND. October 2, 2015 I ON/OFF ON/OFF + VON/OFF PWM Enable R1 Q2 CSS Q1 R2 GND _ Figure 28. Circuit configuration for using negative logic On/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. The typical average output current during hiccup is 3 A. Input Undervoltage Lockout R1 VON/OFF GND MODULE Rpull-up 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. 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. (c)2015 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 12 GE Data Sheet 12V Austin LynxTMII: SMT Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Modules 8.3Vdc -14Vdc input; 0.75Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 10A Output Current Feature Descriptions (continued) under the Design Tools section, helps determine the required external trim resistor needed for a specific output voltage. Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the Austin LynxTM II 12V can be programmed to any voltage from 0.75Vdc to 5.5Vdc by connecting a resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 29) between Trim and GND pins of the module. Without an external resistor between Trim and GND pins, the output of the module will be 0.7525Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor, Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following equation: 10500 Rtrim = - 1000 Vo - 0 . 7525 Voltage Margining For example, to program the output voltage of the Austin LynxTM II 12 V module to 1.8 Vdc, Rtrim is calculated is follows: 10500 - 1000 1.8 - 0.75 Rtrim = Rtrim = 9.024k V IN(+) The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When using the trim feature, the output voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same output current would increase the power output of the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power (Pmax = Vo,set x Io,max). V O(+) Output voltage margining can be implemented in the Austin LynxTM II 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 the Output pin for margining-down. Figure 30 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining. The POL Programming Tool, available at www.gecriticalpower.com under the Design Tools section, also calculates the values of Rmargin-up and Rmargin-down for a specific output voltage and % margin.

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. 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. Rdistribution Rcontact Rcontact VIN(+) Rdistribution VO Sense When an analog voltage is applied to the SEQ pin, the output voltage tracks this voltage until the output reaches the setpoint voltage. 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 multiple modules together, customers can get multiple modules to track their output voltages to the voltage applied on the SEQ pin. RLOAD Rdistribution Rcontact Rcontact COM Rdistribution COM Figure 31. Remote sense circuit configuration 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 of 10msec delay is required before applying voltage on the SEQ pin. During this time, potential of 50mV ( 10 mV) is maintained on the SEQ pin. After 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 output reaches the set-point voltage. To initiate simultaneous shutdown of the modules, the SEQ pin voltage is lowered in a controlled manner. 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 feature 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 voltage at the SEQ pin is applied. This will result in sinking current in the module if pre-bias voltage is present at the output of the module. When pre-bias immunity during start-up is required, the EZ-SEQUENCETM feature must be disabled. For additional guidelines on using EZSEQUENCETM feature of Austin LynxTM II, contact the GE technical representative for preliminary application note on output voltage sequencing using Austin Lynx II series. Remote Sense The Austin LynxTM SMT power modules have a Remote Sense feature to minimize the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage at the Remote Sense pin (See Figure 31). 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).

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 33. Note that the airflow is parallel to the short axis of the module as shown in figure 32. The derating data applies to airflow in either direction of the module's short axis. 25.4_ (1.0) Wind Tunnel PWBs Power Mod ule 76.2_ (3.0) x 8.3_ (0.325) Prob e Loc a tion for mea suring a irflow a nd a m b ient tem p era ture Air flow Figure 33. Thermal Test Set-up. Figure 32. Tref Temperature measurement location. The thermal reference point, Tref used in the specifications is shown in Figure 32. For reliable operation this temperature should not exceed 115oC. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max). Heat Transfer via Convection 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.

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. 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 CP connector temperatures. REFLOW TEMP (C) LynxTM REFLOW TIME (S) Figure 35. Reflow Profile for Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. Figure 34. Pick and Place Location. 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. MAX TEMP SOLDER (C) Nozzle Recommendations Figure 36. Time Limit Curve Above 205oC for Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. Tin Lead Soldering The Austin LynxTM II 12 V SMT power modules are lead free modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free solder process or in a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. 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. In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than 235oC.

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. 37. Figure 37. Recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder. MSL Rating The Austin Lynx II 12V SMT modules have a MSL rating of 3. Storage and Handling The Austin Lynx II 12V SMT modules have a MSL rating of 2. 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-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. 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.
