Description
The 12A Analog PicoDLynx
TM
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
= 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely regulated output voltage
from 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor. Features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over
current and over temperature protection. The Tunable Loop
TM
feature 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.
