Output Voltage Programming
The output voltage of the Austin MiniLynx
TM
SIP can be
programmed to any voltage from 0.75 Vdc to 3.63 Vdc by
connecting a single resistor (shown as Rtrim in Figure 32)
between the TRIM and GND pins of the module. Without an
external resistor between TRIM pin and the ground, the output
voltage of the module is 0.7525 Vdc. To calculate the value of
the resistor Rtrim for a particular output voltage Vo, use the
following equation:

By using a 1% tolerance trim resistor, set point tolerance of
±2% is achieved as specified in the electrical specification. The
POL Programming Tool, available at www.gecriticalpower.com
under the Design Tools section, helps determine the required
external trim resistor needed for a specific output voltage.
Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the Austin
MiniLynx
TM
modules by connecting a resistor, R
margin-up
, from
the Trim pin to the ground pin for margining-up the output
voltage and by connecting a resistor, R
margin-down
, from the Trim
pin to the Output pin for margining-down. Figure 33 shows the
circuit configuration for output voltage margining. The POL
Programming Tool, available at ww.gecriticalpower.com under
the Design Tools section, also calculates the values of R
margin-up
and R
margin-down
for a specific output voltage and % margin.
Please consult your local GE technical representative for
