Description
Austin MiniLynx
TM
12V SMT (surface mount technology) power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can
deliver up to 3A of output current with full load efficiency of 91% at 3.3V output. These modules provide precisely
regulated output voltage programmable via external resistor from 0.75Vdc to 5.5Vdc over a wide range of input
voltage (V
IN
= 8.3 - 14V). Their open-frame construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost- and
space-efficient solutions. In addition to sequencing, standard features include remote On/Off, programmable output
voltage and over current protection.
