Description
The 12A Analog Pico SlimLynx
TM
Open Frame 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 module also includes the Tunable Loop
TM
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.

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.
