12V Pico TLynxTM 6A: Non-isolated DC-DC Power Modules
4.5 – 14Vdc input; 0.59Vdc to 5.5Vdc output; 6A output current
September 4, 2009
Recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE for different
output capacitor combinations are given in Tables 2
and 3. Table 2 shows the recommended values of
RTUNE and CTUNE for different values of ceramic output
capacitors up to 470uF that might be needed for an
application to meet output ripple and noise
requirements. Selecting RTUNE and CTUNE according to
Table 2 will ensure stable operation of the module.
In applications with tight output voltage limits in the
presence of dynamic current loading, additional output
capacitance will be required. Table 3 lists
recommended values of RTUNE and CTUNE in order to
meet 2% output voltage deviation limits for some
common output voltages in the presence of a 3A to 6A
step change (50% of full load), with an input voltage of
12V.
Please contact your Lineage Power technical
representative to obtain more details of this feature as
well as for guidelines on how to select the right value
of external R-C to tune the module for best transient
performance and stable operation for other output
capacitance values or input voltages other than 12V.
