Description
TM
The 20A Digital Micro DLynx
power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 20A 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 and PMBusTM #
TM #
protocol, remote On/Off, adjustable output
control. Features include a digital interface using the PMBus
TM #
interface supports a range of commands to
voltage, over current and over temperature protection. The PMBus
TM
both control and monitor the module. The module also includes the Tunable Loop feature that 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.

Input Filtering

The 20A Digital Micro 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 20A of load current with 2x22 µF or 3x22
µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 12V.

Output Filtering
These modules are designed for low output ripple
voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple
specification with 0.1 µF ceramic and 2x47 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 UDT020A0X series were tested using an external
Littelfuse 456 series fast-acting fuse rated at 30 A, 100
Vdc in the ungrounded input.
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 20A. 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 default state of the module (as shipped from the

If the digital interface is to be enabled, or the module is

subsequent use.

Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown

The module can start into a prebiased output as long
as the prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output

The output voltage of the module is programmable to

Output Voltage Sequencing
The power module includes a sequencing feature, EZSEQUENCE 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, leave it unconnected.
The voltage applied to the SEQ pin should be scaled
down by the same ratio as used to scale the output
voltage down to the reference voltage of the module.
This is accomplished by an external resistive divider
connected across the sequencing voltage before it is
fed to the SEQ pin as shown in Fig. 44.

Figure 44. Circuit showing connection of the

When the scaled down sequencing 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 sequencing voltage must be set higher
than the set-point voltage of the module. The output
voltage follows the sequencing voltage on a one-toone basis. By connecting multiple modules together,
multiple modules can track their output voltages to the
voltage applied on the SEQ pin.
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.
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.
Digital Adjustable Overcurrent Warning
Please see the Digital Feature Descriptions
section.
Overtemperature Protection
Please see the Digital Feature Descriptions

Synchronization
The module switching frequency can be synchronized
to a signal with an external frequency within a
specified range. Synchronization can be done by using
the external signal applied to the SYNC pin of the
module as shown in Fig. 45, with the converter being
synchronized by the rising edge of the external signal.
The Electrical Specifications table specifies the
requirements of the external SYNC signal. If the SYNC
pin is not used, the module should free run at the
default switching frequency. If synchronization is not
being used, connect the SYNC pin to GND.

The module provides a Power Good (PGOOD) signal

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.
Tunable LoopTM
The module has a 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 (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 VS+ and TRIM pins of the module,
as shown in Fig. 46. 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

and 3. Table 3 shows the recommended values of
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 3 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 10A to
20A step change (50% of full load), with an input
voltage of 12V.
Please contact your Lineage 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

PMBus Interface Capability
TM
The 20A Digital Micro DLynx power modules have a
PMBus interface that supports both communication
and control. The PMBus Power Management Protocol
Specification can be obtained from www.pmbus.org.
The modules support a subset of version 1.1 of the
specification (see Table 6 for a list of the specific
commands supported). Most module parameters can
be programmed using PMBus and stored as defaults
for later use.
All communication over the module PMBus interface
must support the Packet Error Checking (PEC)
scheme. The PMBus master must generate the correct
PEC byte for all transactions, and check the PEC byte
returned by the module.
The module also supports the SMBALERT response
protocol whereby the module can alert the bus master
if it wants to talk. For more information on the SMBus
alert response protocol, see the System Management
Bus (SMBus) specification.
The module has non-volatile memory that is used to
store configuration settings. Not all settings
programmed into the device are automatically saved
into this non-volatile memory, only those specifically
identified as capable of being stored can be saved
(see Table 6 for which command parameters can be
saved to non-volatile storage).

ADDR0 sets the low order digit. The resistor values
suggested for each digit are shown in Table 4 (1%
tolerance resistors are recommended). Note that if
either address resistor value is outside the range
specified in Table 4, the module will respond to
address 127.

The user must know which I2C addresses are reserved
in a system for special functions and set the address of
the module to avoid interfering with other system
operations. Both 100kHz and 400kHz bus speeds are
supported by the module. Connection for the PMBus
interface should follow the High Power DC
specifications given in section 3.1.3 in the SMBus
specification V2.0 for the 400kHz bus speed or the
Low Power DC specifications in section 3.1.2. The
complete SMBus specification is available from the
SMBus web site, smbus.org.
PMBus Data Format
ADDR1
For commands that set thresholds, voltages or report
such quantities, the module supports the “Linear” data
format among the three data formats supported by
PMBus. The Linear Data Format is a two byte value
with an 11-bit, two’s complement mantissa and a 5-bit,
two’s complement exponent. The format of the two
data bytes is shown below:

addresses (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 40 in decimal)
are reserved according to the SMBus specifications
and may not be useable. The address is set in the

The module can also be turned on and off via the
PMBus interface. The OPERATION command is used
to actually turn the module on and off via the PMBus,
while the ON_OFF_CONFIG command configures the
combination of analog ON/OFF pin input and PMBus
commands needed to turn the module on and off. Bit

PMBus Adjustable Soft Start Rise Time
The soft start rise time can be adjusted in the module
via PMBus. When setting this parameter, make sure
that the charging current for output capacitors can be
delivered by the module in addition to any load current
to avoid nuisance tripping of the overcurrent protection
circuitry during startup. The TON_RISE command sets
the rise time in ms, and allows choosing soft start
times between 600μs and 9ms, with possible values
listed in Table 5. Note that the exponent is fixed at -4
(decimal) and the upper two bits of the mantissa are
also fixed at 0.

Output Voltage Adjustment Using the PMBus
The VOUT_SCALE_LOOP parameter is important for
a number of PMBus commands related to output
voltage trimming, margining, over/under voltage
protection and the PGOOD thresholds. The output
voltage of the module is set as the combination of the
voltage divider formed by RTrim and a 20kΩ upper
divider resistor inside the module, and the internal
reference voltage of the module. The reference voltage
VREF is nominally set at 600mV, and the output
regulation voltage is then given by
 20000 + RTrim 
VOUT = 
 × VREF
RTrim


Hence the module output voltage is dependent on the
value of RTrim which is connected external to the
module. The information on the output voltage divider
ratio is conveyed to the module through the
VOUT_SCALE_LOOP parameter which is calculated
as follows:
VOUT _ SCALE _ LOOP =
RTrim
20000 + RTrim
The VOUT_SCALE_LOOP parameter is specified
using the “Linear” format and two bytes. The upper five
bits [7:3] of the high byte are used to set the exponent
which is fixed at –9 (decimal). The remaining three bits
of the high byte [2:0] and the eight bits of the lower
byte are used for the mantissa. The default value of
the mantissa is 00100000000 corresponding to 256
(decimal), corresponding to a divider ratio of 0.5. The
maximum value of the mantissa is 512 corresponding
to a divider ratio of 1. Note that the resolution of the
VOUT_SCALE_LOOP command is 0.2%.
When PMBus commands are used to trim or margin
the output voltage, the value of VREF is what is
changed inside the module, which in turn changes the
regulated output voltage of the module.
The nominal output voltage of the module can be
adjusted with a minimum step size of 0.4% over a
±25% range from nominal using the VOUT_TRIM
command over the PMBus.
The VOUT_TRIM command is used to apply a fixed
offset voltage to the output voltage command value

lower five bits are programmable with a default value

using the “Linear” mode with the exponent fixed at –10
(decimal). The value of the offset voltage is given by
VOUT (offset ) = VOUT _ TRIM × 2 −10
This offset voltage is added to the voltage set through
the divider ratio and nominal VREF to produce the
trimmed output voltage. The valid range in two’s
complement for this command is –4000h to 3999h.
The high order two bits of the high byte must both be
either 0 or 1. If a value outside of the +/-25%
adjustment range is given with this command, the
module will set it’s output voltage to the nominal value
(as if VOUT_TRIM had been set to 0), assert
SMBALRT#, set the CML bit in STATUS_BYTE and
the invalid data bit in STATUS_CML.
Temperature Status via PMBus
The module can provide information related to
temperature of the module through the
STATUS_TEMPERATURE command. The command
returns information about whether the pre-set over
temperature fault threshold and/or the warning
threshold have been exceeded.
PMBus Adjustable Output Over and Under
Voltage Protection
Output Voltage Margining Using the PMBus
The module can also have its output voltage margined
via PMBus commands. The command
VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH sets the margin high voltage,
while the command VOUT_MARGIN_LOW sets the
margin low voltage. Both the VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH
and VOUT_MARGIN_LOW commands use the
“Linear” mode with the exponent fixed at –10
(decimal). Two bytes are used for the mantissa with
the upper bit [7] of the high byte fixed at 0. The actual
margined output voltage is a combination of the
VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH or VOUT_MARGIN_LOW and
the VOUT_TRIM values as shown below.
VOUT( MH ) =
(VOUT _ MARGIN_ HIGH + VOUT _ TRIM) × 2 −10
VOUT ( ML) =
(VOUT _ MARGIN _ LOW + VOUT _ TRIM) × 2
Note that the sum of the margin and trim voltages
cannot be outside the ±25% window around the
nominal output voltage. The data associated with
VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH and VOUT_MARGIN_LOW
can be stored to non-volatile memory using the
STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command.
The module is commanded to go to the margined high
or low voltages using the OPERATION command. Bits
[5:2] are used to enable margining as follows:

PMBus Adjustable Overcurrent Warning
The module can provide an overcurrent warning via
the PMBus. The threshold for the overcurrent warning
can be set using the parameter
IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT. This command uses the
“Linear” data format with a two byte data word where
the upper five bits [7:3] of the high byte represent the
exponent and the remaining three bits of the high byte
[2:0] and the eight bits in the low byte represent the
mantissa. The exponent is fixed at –1 (decimal). The

The module has output over and under voltage
protection capability. The PMBus command
VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT is used to set the output
over voltage threshold from four possible values:
108%, 110%, 112% or 115% of the commanded
output voltage. The command
VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT sets the threshold that
causes an output under voltage fault and can also be
selected from four possible values: 92%, 90%, 88% or
85%. The default values are 112% and 88% of
commanded output voltage. Both commands use two
data bytes formatted as two’s complement binary
integers. The “Linear” mode is used with the exponent
fixed to –10 (decimal) and the effective over or under
voltage trip points given by:
VOUT(OV _ REQ) = (VOUT _ OV _ FAULT _ LIMIT) × 2 −10
VOUT(UV _ REQ) = (VOUT _ UV _ FAULT _ LIMIT) × 2 −10
Values within the supported range for over and
undervoltage detection thresholds will be set to the
nearest fixed percentage. Note that the correct value
for VOUT_SCALE_LOOP must be set in the module
for the correct over or under voltage trip points to be
calculated.
In addition to adjustable output voltage protection, the
12A Digital Pico DLynxTM module can also be
programmed for the response to the fault. The
VOUT_OV_FAULT RESPONSE and
VOUT_UV_FAULT_RESPONSE commands specify
the response to the fault. Both these commands use a
single data byte with the possible options as shown
below.
1. Continue operation without interruption (Bits
[7:6] = 00, Bits [5:3] = xxx)
2. Continue for four switching cycles and then
shut down if the fault is still present, followed
by no restart or continuous restart (Bits [7:6]
= 01, Bits [5:3] = 000 means no restart, Bits
[5:3] = 111 means continuous restart)
3. Immediate shut down followed by no restart
or continuous restart (Bits [7:6] = 10, Bits [5:3]
= 000 means no restart, Bits [5:3] = 111
means continuous restart).

the STORE_DEFAULT_ALL command.
PMBus Adjustable Input Undervoltage
Lockout
PGOOD terminal can be connected through a pullup
resistor (suggested value 100KΩ) to a source of 5VDC
or lower.
The module allows adjustment of the input under
voltage lockout and hysteresis. The command VIN_ON
allows setting the input voltage turn on threshold, while
the VIN_OFF command sets the input voltage turn off
threshold. For the VIN_ON command, possible values
are 2.75V, and 3V to 14V in 0.5V steps. For the
VIN_OFF command, possible values are 2.5V to 14V
in 0.5V steps. If other values are entered for either
command, they will be mapped to the closest of the
allowed values.
Both the VIN_ON and VIN_OFF commands use the
“Linear” format with two data bytes. The upper five bits
represent the exponent (fixed at -2) and the remaining
11 bits represent the mantissa. For the mantissa, the
four most significant bits are fixed at 0.
Power Good
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
outside the specified thresholds. The PGOOD
thresholds are user selectable via the PMBus (the
default values are as shown in the Feature
Specifications Section). Each threshold is set up
symmetrically above and below the nominal value. The
POWER_GOOD_ON command sets the output
voltage level above which PGOOD is asserted (lower
threshold). For example, with a 1.2V nominal output
voltage, the POWER_GOOD_ON threshold can set
the lower threshold to 1.14 or 1.1V. Doing this will
automatically set the upper thresholds to 1.26 or 1.3V.
The POWER_GOOD_OFF command sets the level
below which the PGOOD command is de-asserted.
This command also sets two thresholds symmetrically
placed around the nominal output voltage. Normally,
the POWER_GOOD_ON threshold is set higher than
the POWER_GOOD_OFF threshold.
Both POWER_GOOD_ON and POWER_GOOD_OFF
commands use the “Linear” format with the exponent
fixed at –10 (decimal). The two thresholds are given by
VOUT ( PGOOD_ ON ) = ( POWER_ GOOD _ ON ) × 2 −10
VOUT ( PGOOD_ OFF) = ( POWER_ GOOD _ OFF) × 2 −10
Both commands use two data bytes with bit [7] of the
high byte fixed at 0, while the remaining bits are r/w
and used to set the mantissa using two’s complement
representation. Both commands also use the The
LINEAGE POWER
Measurement of Output Current, Output
Voltage and Input Voltage
The module is capable of measuring key module
parameters such as output current and voltage and
input voltage and providing this information through the
PMBus interface. Roughly every 200μs, the module
makes 16 measurements each of output current,
voltage and input voltage. Average values of each of
these measurements are then calculated and placed in
the appropriate registers. These values in the registers
can then be read using the PMBus interface.
Measuring Output Current Using the PMBus
The module measures current by using the inductor
winding resistance as a current sense element. The
inductor winding resistance is then the current gain
factor used to scale the measured voltage into a
current reading. This gain factor is the argument of the
IOUT_CAL_GAIN command, and consists of two bytes
in the linear data format. The exponent uses the upper
five bits [7:3] of the high data byte in two-s
complement format and is fixed at –15 (decimal). The
remaining 11 bits in two’s complement binary format
represent the mantissa. During manufacture, each
module is calibrated by measuring and storing the
current gain factor into non-volatile storage.
The current measurement accuracy is also improved
by each module being calibrated during manufacture
with the offset in the current reading. The
IOUT_CAL_OFFSET command is used to store and
read the current offset. The argument for this
command consists of two bytes composed of a 5-bit
exponent (fixed at -4d) and a 11-bit mantissa. This
command has a resolution of 62.5mA and a range of
-4000mA to +3937.5mA.
The READ_IOUT command provides module average
output current information. This command only
supports positive or current sourced from the module.
If the converter is sinking current a reading of 0 is
provided. The READ_IOUT command returns two
bytes of data in the linear data format. The exponent
uses the upper five bits [7:3] of the high data byte in
two-s complement format and is fixed at –4 (decimal).
The remaining 11 bits in two’s complement binary
format represent the mantissa with the 11th bit fixed at
0 since only positive numbers are considered valid.
Note that the current reading provided by the module
is not corrected for temperature. The temperature
corrected current reading for module temperature
TModule can be estimated using the following equation

where IOUT_CORR is the temperature corrected value of
the current measurement, IREAD_OUT is the module
current measurement value, TIND is the temperature of
the inductor winding on the module. Since it may be
difficult to measure TIND, it may be approximated by an
estimate of the module temperature.
Measuring Output Voltage Using the PMBus
The module can provide output voltage information
using the READ_VOUT command. The command
returns two bytes of data all representing the mantissa
while the exponent is fixed at -10 (decimal).
During manufacture of the module, offset and gain
correction values are written into the non-volatile
memory of the module. The command
VOUT_CAL_OFFSET can be used to read and/or
write the offset (two bytes consisting of a 16-bit
mantissa in two’s complement format) while the
exponent is always fixed at -10 (decimal). The allowed
range for this offset correction is -125 to 124mV. The
command VOUT_CAL_GAIN can be used to read
and/or write the gain correction - two bytes consisting
of a five-bit exponent (fixed at -8) and a 11-bit
mantissa. The range of this correction factor is -0.125
to +0.121, with a resolution of 0.004. The corrected
output voltage reading is then given by:
VOUT ( Final _ Re ading) =
[VOUT ( Initial _ Re ading) × (1 + VOUT _ CAL _ GAIN)]
+ VOUT _ CAL _ OFFSET
.
Measuring Input Voltage Using the PMBus
The module can provide output voltage information
using the READ_VIN command. The command returns
two bytes of data in the linear format. The upper five
bits [7:3] of the high data form the two’s complement
representation of the mantissa which is fixed at –5
(decimal). The remaining 11 bits are used for two’s
complement representation of the mantissa, with the
th
11 bit fixed at zero since only positive numbers are
valid.
During module manufacture, offset and gain correction
values are written into the non-volatile memory of the
module. The command VIN_CAL_OFFSET can be
used to read and/or write the offset - two bytes
consisting of a five-bit exponent (fixed at -5) and a11bit mantissa in two’s complement format. The allowed
range for this offset correction is -2to 1.968V, and the
resolution is 32mV. The command VIN_CAL_GAIN
can be used to read and/or write the gain correction two bytes consisting of a five-bit exponent (fixed at -8)
and a 11-bit mantissa. The range of this correction

Preliminary Data Sheet
June 15, 2011
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 48. The preferred airflow direction
for the module is in Figure 49.
The thermal reference points, Tref used in the
specifications are also shown in Figure 49. For reliable
operation the temperatures at these points should not
o
exceed 120 C. The output power of the module should
not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x
Io,max).
Please refer to the Application Note “Thermal
Characterization Process For Open-Frame BoardMounted Power Modules” for a detailed discussion of
thermal aspects including maximum device
temperatures.

20A Digital Micro DLynxTM: Non-isolated DC-DC Power Modules
3 – 14.4Vdc input; 0.45Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 20A output
Shock and Vibration
The ruggedized (-D version) of the modules are designed to withstand elevated levels of shock and vibration to be able
to operate in harsh environments. The ruggedized modules have been successfully tested to the following conditions:
Non operating random vibration:
Random vibration tests conducted at 25C, 10 to 2000Hz, for 30 minutes each level, starting from 30Grms (Z axis) and
up to 50Grms (Z axis). The units were then subjected to two more tests of 50Grms at 30 minutes each for a total of 90
minutes.
Operating shock to 40G per Mil Std. 810F, Method 516.4 Procedure I:
The modules were tested in opposing directions along each of three orthogonal axes, with waveform and amplitude of
the shock impulse characteristics as follows:
All shocks were half sine pulses, 11 milliseconds (ms) in duration in all 3 axes.
Units were tested to the Functional Shock Test of MIL-STD-810, Method 516.4, Procedure I - Figure 516.4-4. A shock
magnitude of 40G was utilized. The operational units were subjected to three shocks in each direction along three axes
for a total of eighteen shocks.
Operating vibration per Mil Std 810F, Method 514.5 Procedure I:
The ruggedized (-D version) modules are designed and tested to vibration levels as outlined in MIL-STD-810F, Method
514.5, and Procedure 1, using the Power Spectral Density (PSD) profiles as shown in Table 1 and Table 2 for all axes.
Full compliance with performance specifications was required during the performance test. No damage was allowed to
the module and full compliance to performance specifications was required when the endurance environment was
removed. The module was tested per MIL-STD-810, Method 514.5, Procedure I, for functional (performance) and
endurance random vibration using the performance and endurance levels shown in Table 4 and Table 5 for all axes.
The performance test has been split, with one half accomplished before the endurance test and one half after the
endurance test (in each axis). The duration of the performance test was at least 16 minutes total per axis and at least
120 minutes total per axis for the endurance test. The endurance test period was 2 hours minimum per axis.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The 20A Digital Micro DLynxTM 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
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. If assembly on the
bottom side is planned, please contact Lineage Power
for special manufacturing process instructions.
Lead Free Soldering
The 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).
For questions regarding Land grid array(LGA)
soldering, solder volume; please contact Lineage
Power for special manufacturing process instructions.
The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu
solder is shown in Fig. 50. Soldering outside of the
recommended profile requires testing to verify results
and performance.
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. For guidance on
appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures,
refer to Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and
Cleaning Application Note (AN04-001).
MSL Rating
The 20A Digital Micro DLynxTM modules have a MSL
rating of 2.
