Description
The 12V Mega TLynxTM power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 30A of output
current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 6Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.8Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote
On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection, output voltage sequencing and
paralleling with active current sharing (-P versions). 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

The 12V Mega TLynxTM module should be
connected to a low-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 28 shows the input ripple voltage for
various output voltages at 30A of load current with
1x22 µF, 2x22 µF or 2x47 µF ceramic capacitors
and an input of 12V.

The 12V Mega TLynx modules are designed for low
output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum
output ripple specification with no external
capacitors. 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 are recommended to improve
the dynamic response of the module. 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 Loop feature
described later in this data sheet.

The 12V Mega TLynx power modules feature a
On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. If not using
the On/Off pin, connect the pin to ground (the
module will be ON). The On/Off signal (Von/off) is
referenced to ground. The circuit configuration for
remote On/Off operation of the module using the
On/Off pin is shown in Figure 30.

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 2nd Edition,
CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-07, and VDE 08051+A11:2009-11 (DIN EN60950-1 2nd Edition)
Licensed. The APTS030A0X were tested using a
30A, time delay fuse in the ungrounded input.
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 30A in the positive input lead.
During a Logic High on the On/Off pin (transistor Q1
is OFF), the module remains OFF. The external
resistor R1 should be chosen to maintain 3.0V
minimum on the On/Off pin to ensure that the
module is OFF when transistor Q1 is in the OFF
state. Suitable values for R1 are 4.7K for input
voltage of 12V and 3K for 5Vin. During Logic-Low
when Q1 is turned ON, the module is turned ON.
The On/Off pin can also be used to synchronize the
output voltage start-up and shutdown of multiple
modules in parallel. By connecting On/Off pins of
multiple modules, the output start-up can be
synchronized (please refer to characterization
curves). When On/Off pins are connected together,
all modules will shutdown if any one of the modules
gets disabled due to undervoltage lockout or over
temperature protection.

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.

Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the 12V Mega TLynxTM can
be programmed to any voltage from 0.8dc to
3.63Vdc by connecting a resistor (shown as Rtrim in
Figure 31) between Trim and GND pins of the
module. Without an external resistor between Trim
and GND pins, the output of the module will be
0.8Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor,
Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following
equation:
Rtrim
 8000 
=
Ω
Vo − 0.8 
Rtrim is the external resistor in Ω
Vo is the desired output voltage
By using a ±0.5% tolerance trim resistor with a TC
of ±100ppm, a set point tolerance of ±1.5% can be
achieved as specified in the electrical specification.
Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some
common output voltages. The POL Programming
Tool, available at www.lineagepower.com under the

external trim resistor needed for a specific output
voltage.

The 12V Mega TLynxTM 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
TM
the 12V Mega TLynx 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. Figure 32 shows
the circuit configuration for output voltage
margining. The POL Programming Tool, available
at www.lineagepower.com under the Design Tools
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.
Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown
TM
The 12V Mega TLynx 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 12V Mega TLynxTM modules can start into a
prebiased output as long as the prebias voltage is
0.5V less than the set output voltage. Note that
prebias operation is not supported when output
voltage sequencing is used.

Output Voltage Sequencing
The 12V Mega TLynxTM modules include a
TM
sequencing feature, EZ-SEQUENCE 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. This delay gives the module
enough time to complete its internal power-up softstart cycle. During the delay time, the SEQ pin
should be held close to ground (nominally 50mV ±
20 mV). This is required to keep the internal op-amp
out of saturation thus preventing output overshoot
during the start of the sequencing ramp. By
selecting resistor R1 (see fig. 33) according to the
following equation

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
bases 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.
TM
When using the EZ-SEQUENCE 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 start-up. When using the
TM
EZ-SEQUENCE 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 EZSEQUENCETM feature must be disabled. For
additional guidelines on using the EZTM
SEQUENCE feature please refer to Application
Note AN04-008 “Application Guidelines for NonIsolated Converters: Guidelines for Sequencing of
Multiple Modules”, or contact the Lineage Power
technical representative for additional information.
Active Load Sharing (-P Option)
For additional power requirements, the 12V Mega
TLynxTM power module is also available with a
parallel option. Up to five modules can be
configured, in parallel, with active load sharing.

12V Mega TLynxTM: Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Modules:
6.0 – 14Vdc Input; 0.8Vdc to 3.63Vdc Output; 30A output current
Good layout techniques should be observed when
using multiple units in parallel. To implement forced
load sharing, the following connections should be
made:
When not using the sequencing feature, share pins
should be left unconnected.
•
The share pins of all units in parallel must be
connected together. The path of these
connections should be as direct as possible.
The 12V Mega TLynxTM modules have a new
feature that optimizes transient response of the
TM
module called Tunable Loop .
•
All remote-sense pins should be connected to
the power bus at the same point, i.e., connect
all the SENSE(+) pins to the (+) side of the bus.
Close proximity and directness are necessary
for good noise immunity
External capacitors are usually added to the output
of the module for two reasons: to reduce output
ripple and noise (see Fig. 29) 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.
Some special considerations apply for design of
converters in parallel operation:
•
•
•
When sizing the number of modules required
for parallel operation, take note of the fact that
current sharing has some tolerance. In
addition, under transient condtions such as a
dynamic load change and during startup, all
converter output currents will not be equal. To
allow for such variation and avoid the likelihood
of a converter shutting off due to a current
overload, the total capacity of the paralleled
system should be no more than 75% of the
sum of the individual converters. As an
example, for a system of four 12V Mega
TM
TLynx converters in parallel, the total current
drawn should be less that 75% of (4 x 30A) ,
i.e. less than 90A.
All modules should be turned on and off
together. This is so that all modules come up at
the same time avoiding the problem of one
converter sourcing current into the other
leading to an overcurrent trip condition. To
ensure that all modules come up
simultaneously, the on/off pins of all paralleled
converters should be tied together and the
converters enabled and disabled using the
on/off pin.
The share bus is not designed for redundant
operation and the system will be non-functional
upon failure of one of the unit when multiple
units are in parallel. In particular, if one of the
converters shuts down during operation, the
other converters may also shut down due to
their outputs hitting current limit. In such a
situation, unless a coordinated restart is
ensured, the system may never properly restart
since different converters will try to restart at
different times causing an overload condition
and subsequent shutdown. This situation can
be avoided by having an external output
voltage monitor circuit that detects a shutdown
condition and forces all converters to shut
down and restart together.

Tunable LoopTM
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
TM
Tunable Loop is implemented by connecting a
series R-C between the SENSE and TRIM pins of
the module, as shown in Fig. 34. This R-C allows
the user to externally adjust the voltage loop

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 35. Note
that the airflow is parallel to the short axis of the
module as shown in Figure 36. The derating data
applies to airflow in either direction of the module’s

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
TM
The 12V Mega TLynx SMT 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 location of manufacture.
In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process
peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than
235oC. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC,
wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device
connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse
the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable
solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow
technologies currently used in the industry. These
surface mount power modules can be reliably
soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant
infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For
reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be
established by accurately measuring the modules CP
connector temperatures.

solder reflow profile for each application board
assembly. The following instructions must be
observed when soldering these units. Failure to
observe these instructions may result in the failure of
or cause damage to the modules, and can adversely

Lead Free Soldering
Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note
(AN04-001).
The –Z version 12V Mega TLynx modules are leadfree (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 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 Figure. 38.
MSL Rating
The 12V Mega TLynxTM SMT 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. For
guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and
drying procedures, refer to Board Mounted Power
