DLynx III

The digital DLynx III™ power modules are easy to use, highly configurable non-isolated DC-DC converters that can deliver up to 320A of output current with a master/satellite configuration.

The MLX/SLX-series operates over a wide input voltage range from 7 VDC to 14 VDC, providing PMBus™-programmable output voltages from 0.45 VDC to 2.0 VDC. DLynx III power modules employ an advanced PID-based adjustable digital control loop which helps ensure loop stability, provides fast transient response, and reduces output capacitance requirements. Up to 160A of additional SLX-series satellite modules can be used in conjunction with an MLX master module to increase maximum output current for a single output or to provide a second independent, digitally controlled output to power multiple loads.

Benefits

  • Minimized Board Space Requirements
    • High-density footprint (119 to 205 A/in2, depending on module).
    • Optional satellite phase modules provide increased output voltage or secondary output option.
  • High Efficiency across Applications.
    • 90% efficiency at full load (12 VIN, 1 VOUT, at 25°C).
    • Phase shedding for increased efficiency at low-load operation
  • Long-Term Reliability
    • Excellent thermal performance: Modules provide maximum rated current for 12VIN, 1VOUT at 200lfm airflow and at 80°C ambient temperature or better.
    • Overvoltage/undervoltage and overcurrent/undercurrent protections help guard systems and modules from excessive or dangerous conditions.
  • Easy Solution Design
    • Broad temperature operating range: -40°C to 85°C.
    • System-compatible operation with fixed switching frequency.
    • Nested pinout of master modules enables easy changes across the product family.
