Description
The 3A Digital Pico DLynxTM power modules are non-isolated dc-dc converters that can deliver up to 3A of output
current. These modules operate over a wide range of input voltage (VIN = 3Vdc-14.4Vdc) and provide a precisely
regulated output voltage from 0.45Vdc to 5.5Vdc, programmable via an external resistor and PMBus control.
Features include a digital interface using the PMBus protocol, remote On/Off, adjustable output voltage, over current
and overtemperature protection. The PMBus interface supports a range of commands to both control and monitor
the module. The module also includes the Tunable LoopTM feature that allows the user to optimize the dynamic
response of the converter to match the load with reduced amount of output capacitance leading to savings on cost
and PWB area.

Output Filtering
These modules are designed for low output ripple
voltage and will meet the maximum output ripple
specification with 0.1 µF ceramic and 22 µF ceramic
capacitors at the output of the module. However,
additional output filtering may be required by the
system designer for a number of reasons. First, there
may be a need to further reduce the output ripple and
noise of the module. Second, the dynamic response
characteristics may need to be customized to a
particular load step change.
To reduce the output ripple and improve the dynamic
response to a step load change, additional
capacitance at the output can be used. Low ESR
polymer and ceramic capacitors are recommended to
improve the dynamic response of the module. Figure

external capacitance values at various Vo and a full
