Description
TM
The 12A Analog Pico DLynx
power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 12A of
output current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a
precisely regulated output voltage from 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include
remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection. The Tunable LoopTM
feature 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.

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
Input Ripple Voltage (mVp-p)
The 12A Analog Pico DLynxTM module should be
connected to a low ac-impedance source. 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.
To minimize input voltage ripple, ceramic capacitors
are recommended at the input of the module. Figure
37 shows the input ripple voltage for various output
voltages at 12A of load current with 2x22 µF or 3x22
µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 12V.

Output Filtering
TM
The 12A Analog Pico DLynx
modules are designed
for low output ripple voltage and will meet the
maximum output ripple specification with 0.1 µF
ceramic and 22 µF 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.
For safety agency approval the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and
separation requirements of the end-use safety agency
standards, i.e., UL 60950-1 2nd, CSA C22.2 No.
60950-1-07, DIN EN 60950-1:2006 + A11 (VDE0805
Teil 1 + A11):2009-11; EN 60950-1:2006 + A11:200903.
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 time
delay fuse with a maximum rating of 15 A in the
positive input lead.
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. Figure
38 provides output ripple information for different
external capacitance values at various Vo and a full
load current of 12A. 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

Feature Descriptions
Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
Remote On/Off
The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown
behavior for any combination of rated input voltage,
output current and operating temperature range.
TM
The 12A Analog Pico DLynx
power 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 should be 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 39. When the
external transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the internal
PWM Enable signal is pulled high through an internal
resistor and the external pullup resistor and the
module is ON. When transistor Q1 is turned ON, the
On/Off pin is pulled low and the module is OFF. A
suggested value for Rpullup is TBD
Startup into Pre-biased Output
The modules can start into a prebiased output as long
as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output
voltage.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the module is programmable to
any voltage from 0.6dc to 5.5Vdc 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. 41. The Upper Limit
curve shows that for output voltages lower than 1V, the
input voltage must be lower than the maximum of
14.4V. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output
voltages higher than 0.6V, the input voltage needs to
be larger than the minimum of 3V.

Figure 39. Circuit configuration for using positive
On/Off logic.
For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit
configuration is shown in Fig. 40. The On/Off pin
should be pulled high with an external pull-up resistor
(suggested value for the 3V to 14.4V input range is
20Kohms). When transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the
On/Off pin is pulled high, internal transistor Q4 is
turned ON and the module is OFF. To turn the module
ON, Q1 is turned ON pulling the On/Off pin low, turning
transistor Q4 OFF resulting in the PWM Enable pin
going high and the module turning ON.

Remote Sense
The power module has 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 should not exceed 0.5V.
Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
module 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
43 shows the circuit configuration for output voltage
margining. The POL Programming Tool, available at
www.lineagepower.com under the Downloads section,
also calculates the values of Rmargin-up and Rmargin-down
for a specific output voltage and % margin. Please
consult your local Lineage Power technical
representative for additional details.

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.
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 120(Q1) /
130(L1)oC(typ) is exceeded at the thermal reference
point Tref . Once the unit goes into thermal shutdown it
will then wait to cool before attempting to restart.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout
limit, the module operation is disabled. The module
will begin to operate at an input voltage above the
undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold.

Power Good
Tunable LoopTM
The module provides a Power Good (PGOOD) signal
that is implemented with an open-drain output to
indicate that the output voltage is within the regulation
limits of the power module. The PGOOD signal will be
de-asserted to a low state if any condition such as
overtemperature, overcurrent or loss of regulation
occurs that would result in the output voltage going
±10% outside the setpoint value. The PGOOD terminal
can be connected through a pullup resistor (suggested
value 100KΩ) to a source of 5VDC or lower.
The 12A Pico DLynxTM modules have a feature that
optimizes transient response of the module called
Tunable LoopTM.
Dual Layout
Identical dimensions and pin layout of Analog and
Digital Pico DLynx modules permit migration from one
to the other without needing to change the layout. To
support this, 2 separate Trim Resistor locations have
to be provided in the layout. For the digital modules,
the resistor is connected between the TRIM pad and
SGND and in the case of the analog module it is
connected between TRIM and GND

SIG_GND
External capacitors are usually added to the output of
the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple
and noise (see Figure 38) 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.
TM
The Tunable Loop allows the user to externally
adjust the voltage control loop to match the filter
network connected to the output of the module. The
Tunable LoopTM is implemented by connecting a series
R-C between the SENSE and TRIM pins of the
module, as shown in Fig. 45. This R-C allows the user
to externally adjust the voltage loop feedback
compensation of the module.

RTUNE and CTUNE for different values of ceramic output
capacitors up to 1000uF that might be needed for an
application to meet output ripple and noise
requirements. 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. Table 3 lists
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 6A to

Thermal Considerations
Power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should
always be provided to help ensure reliable operation.
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 46. The preferred airflow direction
for the module is in Figure 47.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The 12VAnalog Pico DLynxTM 12A modules use an
open frame construction and are designed for a fully
automated assembly process. 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
o
temperatures of up to 300 C. 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
The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu
solder is shown in Fig. 48. Soldering outside of the
recommended profile requires testing to verify results
and performance.
MSL Rating
The 12VAnalog Pico DLynxTM 12A modules have a
MSL rating of 1.
Storage and Handling
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 ≤ 30°C 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.
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.
The 12VAnalog Pico DLynxTM 12A modules are leadfree (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.
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).
For questions regarding LGA, solder volume; please
contact Lineage Power for special manufacturing
process instructions.

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).
