These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage from 0.45Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor and PMBus control. Features include a digital interface using the PMBus protocol, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current and over temperature protection. The PMBus interface supports a TM 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) June 15, 2016 ©2016 General Electric Company.

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 20 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.

For the converter output to be considered meeting the Output Filtering requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the input These modules are designed for low output ripple voltage must meet SELV requirements. The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. and will meet the maximum output ripple specification with 3x0.047 µF ceramic and 2x47 µF ceramic capacitors at the The input to these units is to be provided with a fast acting output of the module. However, additional output filtering fuse (e.g. ABC Bussmann) with a maximum rating of 20 A in may be required by the system designer for a number of the positive input lead. 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 38 provides output ripple information, measured with a scope with its Bandwidth limited to 20MHz for different external capacitance values at various Vo and a full load current of 12A. 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. June 15, 2016 ©2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

Analog On/Off TM The 12A Digital SlimLynx power modules feature an On/Off Monotonic Start-up and Shutdown pin for remote On/Off operation. Two On/Off logic options The module has monotonic start-up and shutdown behavior are available. In the Positive Logic On/Off option, (device for any combination of rated input voltage, output current code suffix “4” – see Ordering Information), the module turns and operating temperature range.

With the Negative Logic On/Off option, Startup into Pre-biased Output (no device code suffix, see Ordering Information), the module The module can start into a prebiased output as long as the turns OFF during logic High and ON during logic Low. The prebias voltage is 0.5V less than the set output voltage. On/Off signal should be always referenced to ground. For either On/Off logic option, leaving the On/Off pin Analog Output Voltage Programming disconnected will turn the module ON when input voltage is present. The output voltage of the module is programmable to any voltage from 0.6dc to 5.5Vdc by connecting a resistor For positive logic modules, the circuit configuration for using between the Trim and SIG_GND pins of the module.

A suggested value for R is 20kΩ. pullup For negative logic On/Off modules, the circuit configuration is shown in Fig. 40. The On/Off pin should be pulled high with an external pull-up resistor (suggested value for the 3V to 14V input range is 20Kohms). When transistor Q2 is in the OFF state, the On/Off pin is pulled high, transistor Q3 is turned ON. This turns Q6 ON, followed by Q5 turning ON which pulls the internal ENABLE low and the module is OFF. To turn the module ON, Q2 is turned ON pulling the On/Off pin low, turning transistor Q3 OFF, which keeps Q6 and Q5 OFF resulting in the PWM Enable pin going high.

The output voltage follows the sequencing voltage 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. The module’s output can track the SEQ pin signal with slopes of up to 0.5V/msec during power-up or power-down. 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.

Pb-free Reflow Profile Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. D (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 Fig. 50. Soldering outside of the recommended profile requires testing to verify results and performance.
