Description
Austin MicroLynx
TM
12Vdc SMT (surface mount technology) power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that
can deliver up to 5A of output current with full load efficiency of 89% 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
= 10 - 14V). Their open-frame construction and small footprint enable designers to develop cost-
and space-efficient solutions. Standard features include remote On/Off, programmable output voltage and
overcurrent protection.
