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 protection, 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.

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 15A. 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.

January 13, 2011 Input Filtering The SLIN-12F1Ax module should be connected to a low ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source can affect the stability of the module. An input capacitor 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, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input of the module. Figure A shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 3A of load current with 1x47 µF or 2x47 µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 5V. Figure B shows data for the 3.3Vin case, with 1x47µF or 2x47µF of ceramic capacitors at the input.

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 ceramic and polymer 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 load currents of 12A while maintaining an input voltage of 5V. Figure B on the next page 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.

The remote on/off pin open, Unit on. The SLIN-12F1Ax 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 Figure A on the next page. 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 23.7K pull-up resistor and the module is OFF. For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is shown in Figure B on the next page. The On/Off pin should be pulled high with an external pull-up resistor (suggested value for the 2.4V to 5.5Vin range is 3Kohms). When 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 module ON, Q1 is turned ON pulling the On/Off pin low.

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 130°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.

January 13, 2011 Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the SLIN-12F1Ax 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 in the figure below. The Upper Limit curve shows that the entire output voltage range is available with the maximum input voltage of 5.5V.

January 13, 2011 Remote Sense The SLIN-12F1Ax power 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-12F1Ax 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 figure below shows the circuit configuration for output voltage margining. Vo Rmargin-down MODULE Q2 Trim Rmargin-up Rtrim Q1 GND Circuit Configuration for margining Output voltage Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown The SLIN-12F1Ax modules have monotonic start-up and shutdown behavior for any combination of rated input voltage, output current and operating temperature range. Startup into Pre-biased Output The SLIN-12F1Ax modules can start into a prebiased output as long as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output voltage.

January 13, 2011 Output Voltage Sequencing The SLIN-12F1Ax modules include a sequencing feature 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 set-point 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 basis. By connecting multiple modules together, multiple 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. During this time, a voltage of 50mV (± 20 mV) must be maintained on the SEQ pin. This can be done by applying the sequencing voltage through a resistor R1connected in series with the SEQ pin. By choosing R1 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. MODULE VIN+ 499K + OUT R1 SEQ 10K - GND 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 basis 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 sequencing 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 startup. When using the sequencing 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 pre-bias immunity during start-up is required, the sequencing feature must be disabled. For additional guidelines on using the sequencing feature please contact the Bel Power technical representatives for additional information.

January 13, 2011 Tunable LoopTM The SLIN-12F1Ax 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. This R-C allows the user to externally adjust the voltage loop feedback compensation of the module. VOUT SENSE RTUNE MODULE CO CTUNE TRIM GND RTrim Circuit diagram showing connection of RTUNE 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 940uF 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 6A to 12A step change (50% of full load), with an input voltage of 5Vin and 3.3Vin respectively.

January 13, 2011 Surface Mount Information Pick and Place The SLIN-12F1Ax 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 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. 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. Lead Free Soldering The SLIN-12F1Ax modules are lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are both forward and backward compatible in a Pb-free and a SnPb soldering process. Failure to observe the instructions 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. The suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). A 6 mil thick stencil is recommended. The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown below. Soldering outside of the recommended profile requires testing to verify results and performance. 300 Per J-STD-020 Rev. C Peak Temp 260°C Reflow Temp (°C) 250 200 * Min.

January 13, 2011 MSL Rating The SLIN-12F1Ax 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. 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.
