Description
The Austin MegaLynx series SMT power modules are non-isolated DC-DC converters in an industry standard
package that can deliver up to 30A of output current with a full load efficiency of 92% at 2.5Vdc output voltage (V
IN
=
12Vdc). The ATH series of modules operate off an input voltage from 4.5 to 5.5Vdc and provide an output voltage
that is programmable from 0.8 to 3.63Vdc, while the ATS series of modules have an input voltage range from 6 to
14V and provide a programmable output voltage ranging from 0.8 to 3.63Vdc. Both series have a sequencing
feature that enables designers to implement various types of output voltage sequencing when powering multiple
modules on the board. Additional features include remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, remote sense, over
current, over temperature protection and active current sharing between modules.

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.
