Description
The 2 × 6A Analog Dual MicroDlynx
TM
power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 2 × 6A of output
current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (V
IN
= 4.5Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide precisely regulated output
voltages from 0.6Vdc to 5.5Vdc. 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
Datasheet
2 × 6A Analog Dual MicroDlynx
TM
: Non-Isolated DC-DC Power Modules
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.
