Tyco Electronics Launches Next Generation Austin Lynx II(TM) Non-Isolated Single In-Line Package DC-DC Converters
DALLAS, TX - April 21, 2004 - Tyco Electronics Power Systems announces new Single In-Line Package (SIP) versions of the 16A SuperLynx(TM) II, 10A Austin Lynx(TM) II and 6A MicroLynx(TM) II DC-DC Converters in 2.4 to 5.5Vdc and 8.4 to 14Vdc input voltage ranges. These modules feature programmable output voltages that enable designers to use a standard DC-DC converter to implement various types of output voltage sequencing when powering multiple voltages on a board.
Based on the widely adopted, industry-leading Austin Lynx Platform, these non-isolated Point of Load (POL) converters offer EZ-SEQUENCE power sequencing and wider input ranges with pin-to-pin compatibility. The EZ-SEQUENCE feature supports ratio-metric, voltage tracking and traditional cascading types of power sequencing. Ratio-metric and voltage tracking power sequencing allows powering devices with multiple supply voltages requirements to be met with simple circuits, thereby reducing development time.
The 2.4 to 5.5Vin, 6A MicroLynx II converter offers 94 percent efficiency at 3.3V full load while the 10A Austin Lynx II and 16A SuperLynx II converters achieve 95 percent. These power modules can be used to convert the input voltage to a tightly regulated output voltage of 0.75Vdc-3. 3Vdc, programmable using an external resistor.
The 12Vin MicroLynx II converters offer 89 percent efficiency at 3.3V full load; the 12Vin Austin Lynx II delivers 93 percent; and the 12Vin SuperLynx II delivers 92 percent. These modules can be used to convert an input voltage ranging between 8.4V and 14V to a tightly regulated output voltage of 0.75Vdc-5Vdc, also programmable using an external resistor.
The open-frame construction and small footprints of these modules enables electronic designers to develop cost-effective and space-efficient solutions. The Austin Lynx II and Austin SuperLynx II measure just 2.00in x 0.50in x 0.32in (50.8mm x 12.7mm x 8.1mm), while the Austin MicroLynx II converters are only 1.00in x 0.50in x 0.263in (25.4mm x 12.7mm x 6.68mm). They are also available in a Surface Mount (SMT) package offered in tape and reel that is suitable for automated production.
"The flexible output sequencing capability of the Austin Lynx II POL Converters creates another dimension to help engineers working with applications requiring complex powering schemes," said Sabi Varma, Vice President, Marketing and Business Operations at Tyco Electronics Power Systems. "With this flexibility and high efficiency, the Austin Lynx II Series leads DOSA (Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance) as the first product series introduced under the alliance to ensure our customers have quality products with multiple sourcing options."
A robust construction enables the modules to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C) and withstand industry standard handling, cleaning and soldering processes. Additional features include remote on/off (positive and negative logics), output voltage adjustment and protection against over-current, over-temperature and under voltage. Output ripple and noise are minimized, removing the need for additional external filtering.
Prices at quantities of 1,000 pieces are $6.90 for the Austin MicroLynx II, $9.80 for the Austin Lynx II and $11.60 for Austin SuperLynx II. Samples are orderable now. For further information, visit www.power.tycoelectronics.com or call 1-800-526-7819.
