The TLynx series of non-isolated DC/DC converters are POL modules measuring 12.2x12.2x6.25mm, with two PicoTLynx models delivering 3 and 6A. The TLynx series will be available in 3, 6, 12, 20, and 30A versions. The input-voltage range for the series has been widened to offer a 2.4 to 5.5V (3.3/5Vin) version and a 4.5 to 14V (5/12Vin) version. Samples of the 3 and 6A PicoTLynx are currently available with a 3.3/5V input voltage. A tunable-loop feature allows engineers to optimise the control loop to significantly improve transient response and reduce the amount of external filtering. When the control loop is optimised, load-transient response can be improved up to five times using identical external capacitance. The tunable loop is easy to implement, requiring a minimal set of additional low-cost components and no additional pins. The 6A PicoTLynx delivers fully rated output current at +85°C with no airflow. Standard features include programmable output voltages, remote on/off, remote sense, monotonic start up, EZ-Sequence, as well as over-current and over-temperature protection. Operation is from -40 to +85°C.
