Point Area plot showing limits where the output
voltage can be set for different input voltages.
Without an external resistor between Trim and GND
pins, the output of the module will be 0.6Vdc. To
calculate the value of the trim resistor, Rtrim for a
desired output voltage, use the following equation:
Rtrim = _{⎢⎣⎡(Vo}¹_−^.20.6_{)⎥⎦⎤}kΩ
Rtrim is the external resistor in kΩ
Vo is the desired output voltage.
Table 1 provides Rtrim values required for some
common output voltages.

Remote Sense
The Pico TLynx^TM 6A modules have a Remote Sense
feature to minimize the effects of distribution losses by
regulating the voltage at the SENSE pin. The voltage
between the SENSE pin and VOUT pin must not
exceed 0.5V. Note that the output voltage of the module
cannot exceed the specified maximum value. This
includes the voltage drop between the SENSE and Vout
pins. When the Remote Sense feature is not being
used, connect the SENSE pin to the VOUT pin.
Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented in the
Pico TLynx^TM 6A modules by connecting a resistor,
Rmargin-up, from the Trim pin to the ground pin for
margining-up the output voltage and by connecting a
resistor, Rmargin-down, from the Trim pin to the Output pin
for margining-down. Figure 42 shows the circuit
configuration for output voltage margining. The POL
Programming Tool, available at www.lineagepower.com
under the Design Tools section, also calculates the
values of Rmargin-up and Rmargin-down for a specific output
voltage and % margin. Please consult your local
Lineage Power technical representative for additional
details.
By using a ±0.5% tolerance trim resistor with a TC of
±25ppm, a set point tolerance of ±1.5% can be achieved
as specified in the electrical specification. The POL
Programming Tool available at www.lineagepower.com
under the Design Tools section, helps determine the
required trim resistor needed for a specific output
voltage.
