Description
The SLIN-06F2Ax power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 6A of output current.
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 over temperature protection. A new feature, the
Tunable LoopTM, 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.

CAUTION: This converter is not internally fused. An input line fuse must be used in application.
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 6A. 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. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data sheet for further information.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, specifications apply over all operating input voltage, resistive load, and
temperature conditions.

Input Filtering
The SLIN-06F2Ax modules should be connected to a low ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source can
affect the stability of the module. 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 A
below shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 6A of load current with 1x22µF or 2x22µF
ceramic capacitors and an input of 5V. Figure B shows data for the 3.3Vin case, with 1x22µF or 2x22µF of
ceramic capacitors at the input.

Output Filtering
The SLIN-06F2Ax modules are designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple
specification with 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 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.
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 A on the next page provides output ripple information for different external
capacitance values at various Vo and for a load current of 6A while maintaining an input voltage of 5V. Figure B
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 LoopTM feature described later in this data sheet.

Safety Considerations
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, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03, and VDE
0850:2001-12 (EN60950-1) Licensed.
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 6A in the positive
input lead.

Notes

The remote on/off pin open, Unit on.
The SLIN-06F2Ax 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, 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, 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 the figure below. 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.

transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the On/Off pin is pulled high and the module is OFF. The On/Off threshold for
logic High on the On/Off pin depends on the input voltage and its minimum value is VIN – 1.6V. To turn the

Over Current 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.
Over Temperature Protection
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will
shutdown if the over temperature threshold of 140°C is exceeded at the thermal reference point Tref. The
thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating. Once
the unit goes into thermal shutdown it will then wait to cool before attempting to restart.
Input Under-voltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input under voltage lockout limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will
begin to operate at an input voltage above the under voltage lockout turn-on threshold.
Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the SLIN-06F2Ax module can be programmed to any voltage from 0.6dc 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 below. The Upper Limit curve shows that the entire output voltage range is available with the
maximum input voltage of 5.5V. The Lower Limit curve shows that for output voltages of 1.8V and higher, the
input voltage needs to be larger than the minimum of 2.4V.

Output Trim Equations
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 = ⎢
⎥ kΩ
⎣ (Vo − 0.6 ) ⎦
Rtrim is the external resistor in kΩ
Vo is the desired output voltage.
Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common output voltages.

Remote Sense
The SLIN-06F2Ax 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 SLIN-06F2Ax 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.

The SLIN-06F2Ax modules can start into a prebiased output as long as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the
set output voltage.

Tunable LoopTM
The SLIN-06F2Ax modules have a new feature that optimizes transient response of the module called Tunable
LoopTM.
External capacitors are usually added to the output of the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple and
noise 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.
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 LoopTM is implemented by connecting a series R-C
between the SENSE and TRIM pins of the module, as shown below. This R-C allows the user to externally
adjust the voltage loop feedback compensation 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 shows the recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different values of ceramic output
capacitors up to 940uF that might be needed for an application to meet output ripple and noise requirements.
Selecting RTUNE and CTUNE according to Tables 3 or 5 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 3A to 6A step change
(50% of full load), with an input voltage of 5Vin and 3.3Vin respectively.
Please contact Bel Power 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 5V.

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.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The SLIN-06F2Ax 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 temperatures of up to 300oC. The label also carries product information such as part
number and serial number.
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.
Lead Free Soldering
The SLIN-06F2Ax 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.
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 the figure below. Soldering outside of the recommended profile
requires testing to verify results and performance.
MSL Rating
The SLIN-06F2Ax modules have a MSL rating of 2.
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.
