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 ripple voltage at the input, low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended at the input 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. 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. For stable operation of the module, limit the capacitance to less than the maximum output capacitance as specified in the electrical specification table. May 8, 2013 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, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03, and VDE 0850:2001-12 (EN60950-1) Licensed. 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 fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15A in the positive input lead. (c)2013 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

The module will automatically restart after it cools down. Remote On/Off The 12V Austin Lynx Programmable SMT power modules feature an On/Off pin for remote On/Off operation. If not using the remote On/Off pin, leave the pin open (module will be On). The On/Off pin signal (Von/Off) is referenced to ground. To switch the module on and off using remote On/Off, connect an open collector npn transistor between the On/Off pin and the ground pin (See Figure 27). During a logic-high (On/Off pin is pulled high internal to the module) when the transistor is in the Off state, the power module is ON. The maximum allowable leakage current of the transistor when Von/off = VIN,max is 10A. During a logic-low when the transistor is turned-on, the power module is OFF. During this state VOn/Off is less than 0.3V and the maximum IOn/Off = 1mA. MODULE VIN+ Output Voltage Programming The output voltage of the 12V Austin Lynx Programmable SMT module can be programmed to any voltage from 0.75Vdc to 5.5Vdc by connecting a resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 28) between Trim and GND pins of the module. Without an external resistor between Trim and GND pins, the output of the module will be 0.7525Vdc. To calculate the value of the trim resistor, Rtrim for a desired output voltage, use the following equation: 10500 Rtrim = - 1000 Vo - 0 . 7525 For example, to program the output voltage of the 12V Austin Lynx Programmable SMT module to 1.8 Vdc, Rtrim is calculated is follows: R2 ON/OFF + I ON/OFF VON/OFF 10500 - 1000 1 . 8 - 0 . 75 Rtrim = Q2 R1 Rtrim = 9.024k PWM Enable R3 V IN(+) Q1 Q3 Vout CSS R4 GND V O(+) ON/OFF LOAD TRIM _ R trim Figure 27. Remote On/Off Implementation. GND 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. The typical average output current during hiccup is 3 A. Input Undervoltage Lockout Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some common output voltages Table 1 VO, set (V) At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit, module operation is disabled. The module will begin to operate at an input voltage above the undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold. Overtemperature Protection To provide over temperature protection in a fault condition, the unit relies upon the thermal protection feature of the controller IC. The unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref, exceeds 125oC (typical), but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperatures May 8, 2013 Figure 28.

The POL Programming Tool, available at www.lineagepower.com under the Design Tools section, helps determine the required external trim resistor needed for a specific output voltage. The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output current. When using the trim feature, the output voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same output current would increase the power output of the module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power (Pmax = Vo,set x Io,max). 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 GE technical representative for additional details Vo Rmargin-down Austin Lynx or Lynx II Series Q2 Trim Rmargin-up Rtrim Q1 Remote Sense The 12V Austin Lynx Programmable SMT power modules have a Remote Sense feature to minimize the effects of distribution losses by regulating the voltage at the Remote Sense and GND pins (See Figure 29). The voltage between the Sense pin and Vo pin must not exceed 0.5V. Although both the Remote Sense and the TRIM features can increase the output voltage Vo, the maximum increase is not the sum of both. The maximum Vo increase is the larger of either the Remote Sense or TRIM. GND Figure 30. Circuit Configuration for margining Output voltage. The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the output voltage multiplied by the output current (Vo x Io). When using Remote Sense and/or TRIM, the output voltage of the module can increase, which if the same output is maintained, increases the power output by the module. Make sure that the maximum output power of the module remains at or below the maximum rated power. When the Remote Sense feature is not being used, leave the Remote Sense pin unconnected.

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 32. Note that the airflow is parallel to the short axis of the module as shown in figure 31. The derating data applies to airflow in either direction of the module's short axis.

Heat Transfer via Convection Figure 31. Tref Temperature measurement location. The thermal reference point, Tref used in the specifications is shown in Figure 31. For reliable operation this temperature should not exceed 115oC. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max). Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat transfer via convection. Thermal derating curves showing the maximum output current that can be delivered at different local ambient temperatures (TA) for airflow conditions ranging from natural convection and up to 2m/s (400 ft./min) are shown in the Characteristics Curves section. Please refer to the Application Note "Thermal Characterization Process For Open-Frame Board-Mounted Power Modules" for a detailed discussion of thermal aspects including maximum device temperatures.

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 temperatures of up to 300oC. The label also carries product information such as product code, serial number and the location of manufacture. 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. 300 P eak Temp 235oC REFLOW TEMP (C) 250 Co o ling zo ne 1-4oCs -1 Heat zo ne max 4oCs -1 200 150 So ak zo ne 30-240s 100 Tlim above 205oC P reheat zo ne max 4oCs -1 50 0 REFLOW TIME (S) Figure 33.

Even so, these modules have a relatively large mass when compared to conventional SMT components. Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 6mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 9 mm. 230 225 220 215 210 205 200 0 Tin Lead Soldering The Austin LynxTM 12 V SMT power modules are lead free modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free solder process or in a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. It is recommended that the customer review data sheets in order to customize the 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 affect long-term reliability. 10 20 30 40 50 60 Figure 35. Time Limit Curve Above 205oC for Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than 235oC.

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 Fig. 36. Figure 36. Recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder. MSL Rating The 12V Austin Lynx Programmable SMT modules have a MSL rating of 2a. 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 30C 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).
