These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V = 4.5Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage IN TM from 0.51Vdc to 3.63Vdc, programmable via an external resistor and PMBus control. Features include a digital interface using TM TM # the PMBus protocol, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection. The PMBus TM interface supports a range of commands to 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. * UL is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. † CSA is a registered trademark of Canadian Standards Association. ‡ VDE is a trademark of Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker e.V. ** ISO is a registered trademark of the International Organization of Standards # The PMBus name and logo are registered trademarks of the System Management Interface Forum (SMIF) August 7, 2017 ©2017 General Electric Company.

A highly inductive source can affect the stability of the module. An input capacitance must be placed directly adjacent to the 20 input pin of the module, to minimize input ripple voltage and ensure module stability. To minimize input voltage ripple, ceramic capacitors are 10 recommended at the input of the module. Figure 31 shows the input ripple voltage for various output voltages at 20A of load current with 4x22 µF or 6x22 µF ceramic capacitors and an input of 12V. 0 0.6 0.9 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.1 2.4 2.7 3 3.3 280 Output Voltage(Volts) 4x22uF 240 6x22 uF Figure 32.

For the converter output to be considered meeting the requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the input Output Filtering must meet SELV requirements. The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. These modules are designed for low output ripple voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with The PJT020A0X series were tested using an external 0.1 µF ceramic and 7x22 µF ceramic capacitors at the Littelfuse 456 series fast-acting fuse rated at 30A in the output of the module. However, additional output filtering ungrounded input. 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 32 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 TM module can be achieved by using the Tunable Loop feature described later in this data sheet. August 7, 2017 ©2017 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

Remote On/Off The module can be turned ON and OFF either by using the DLYNXII MODULE 6.5V ON/OFF pin (Analog interface) or through the PMBus interface (Digital). The module can be configured in a 40.2K number of ways through the PMBus interface to react to the two ON/OFF inputs: • Module ON/OFF can be controlled only through I ON/OFF the analog interface (digital interface ON/OFF ENABLE commands are ignored) • Module ON/OFF can be controlled only through the PMBus interface (analog interface is ignored) • Module ON/OFF can be controlled by either the Q1 analog or digital interface GND The default state of the module (as shipped from the factory) is to be controlled by the analog interface only. If the digital interface is to be enabled, or the module is to be controlled only through the digital interface, this change must be made Figure 33.

DLYNXII MODULE Vin Analog On/Off TM The 20A Digital PicoDLynxII power modules feature an R1 On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic options are available. In the Positive Logic On/Off option, (device code suffix “4” – see Ordering Information), the I ON/OFF module turns ON during a logic High on the On/Off pin and ENABLE turns OFF during a logic Low. With the Negative Logic + On/Off option, (no device code suffix, see Ordering 3.09K V ON/OFF Information), the module turns OFF during logic High and ON Q2 during logic Low. The On/Off signal should be always referenced to ground. For either On/Off logic option, leaving _ GND the On/Off pin disconnected will turn the module ON when input voltage is present. Figure 34. Circuit configuration for using negative On/Off For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using logic. the On/Off pin is shown in Figure 33. When the external transistor Q1 is in the OFF state, the internal PWM #Enable is pulled up internally, thus turning the module ON. When Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown transistor Q1 is turned ON, the On/Off pin is pulled low, and consequently the internal PWM Enable signal is pulled low The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown behavior and the module is OFF. for any combination of rated input voltage, output current and operating temperature range. For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is shown in Fig. 34. The On/Off pin should be pulled high with Startup into Pre-biased Output an external pull-up resistor. When transistor Q2 is in the OFF The module can start into a prebiased output as long as the state, the On/Off pin is pulled high, which pulls the internal ENABLE# High and the module is OFF. To turn the module prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output voltage. ON, Q2 is turned ON pulling the On/Off pin low resulting in Analog Output Voltage Programming the PWM ENABLE# pin going Low. The maximum voltage allowed on the On/Off pin is 7V. If Vin is used as a source, The output voltage of the module is programmable to any then a suitable external resistor R1 must be used to ensure voltage from 0.6dc to 3.63Vdc by connecting a resistor that the voltage on the On/Off pin does not exceed 7V. between the Trim and SIG_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 Fig. 35. The Upper Limit curve shows that for output voltages lower than 1V, the input voltage must be lower than the maximum of 14.4V.

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 7 and Table 8 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 7 and Table 8 for all axes.
