Point-of-load convertors extend to 30A

The Austin Megalynx series of point-of-load DC/DC convertors extends the output current range of the Austin Superlynx up to 30A.

The latest addition to the Austin Lynx family from Tyco Electronics Power Systems is the Austin Megalynx range of point-of-load (POL) DC/DC convertors.

Designed to meet the power needs of the latest generation of FPGAs and ASICs, the Austin Megalynx series extends the output current range of the Austin Superlynx up to 30A.

With an optional load share version, a load current up to 150A can be delivered by paralleled multiple modules.

The Austin Megalynx series includes two versions.

The ATS version is designed to produce a high current output with low output ripple voltage.

It supports an input voltage range of 6-14V DC, with a programmable output voltage range of 0.8-5.5V DC using an external resistor.

The ATH version supports an input voltage range of 4.5-5.5V DC, with a 0.8-3.3V DC output voltage range.

The two versions can reach efficiencies of 92.5 and 95% at nominal input voltage conditions and fully rated output current.

Both versions support the EZ-Sequence feature that was introduced in the Austin Lynx II series.

The feature helps designers comply with the tracking and ratio-metric sequencing requirements of the latest FPGAs and ASICs.

"The Austin Megalynx convertor fulfills the need for high onboard current with low output ripple, as required by the latest ICs", said Sabi Varma, Vice President, Marketing and Development Engineering at Tyco Electronics Power Systems.

"Austin Megalynx offers higher current capabilities than our Superlynx II in the existing package pinouts".

"Therefore, it gives designers more options in selecting the right module with DOSA-compliant (Distributed-Power Open Standards Alliance) pinouts".

The Austin Megalynx convertor is offered in SIP packaging and measures 50.80 x 12.70 x 14.0mm.

This robust construction enables the convertor to operate under a temperature range of -40 to +85C, while enduring industry standard handling, cleaning and soldering processes.

Pricing for the Austin Megalynx convertor starts at $18.00 each in a quantity of 1000 units.
