Description
The 12V Micro TLynx series of 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 (V
IN
= 4.5Vdc-14Vdc) and provide a
precisely regulated output voltage from 0.69Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. The new
Ruggedized version (-D) is capable of operation up to 105°C and can withstand high levels of shock and vibration.
Features include frequency synchronization, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and
TM
overtemperature protection, power good and output voltage sequencing. A new feature, the Tunable Loop , 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.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect the device reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
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 (see Safety Considerations section). 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.
