DESCRIPTION
The PTH04T240F is a high-performance 10-A rated, non-isolated power module designed to meet ultra-fast
transient requirements for 3-GHz DSP systems like Texas Instruments' TMS320TCI6488. This module is an
addition to the 2nd generation of the popular PTH series power modules which include a reduced footprint and
additional features.
Operating from an input voltage range of 2.2 V to 5.5 V, the PTH04T240F requires a single resistor to set the
output voltage to any value over the range, 0.69 V to 2.0 V. The output voltage range makes the PTH04T240F
particularly suitable for the 3-GHz DSP's core voltage requirements.
The module incorporates a comprehensive list of features. Output over-current and over-temperature shutdown
protects against most load faults. A differential remote sense ensures tight load regulation. An adjustable
under-voltage lockout allows the turn-on voltage threshold to be customized. Auto-Track™sequencing is a
popular feature that greatly simplifies the simultaneous power-up and power-down of multiple modules in a
power system.
The PTH04T240F includes new patent pending technologies, TurboTrans™ and SmartSync. The TurboTrans
feature optimizes the transient response of the regulator while simultaneously reducing the quantity of external
output capacitors required to meet a target voltage deviation specification. TurboTrans allows the PTH04T240F
to meet the tight transient voltage tolerances required by 3-GHz DSPs with minimal output capacitance.
SmartSync allows for switching frequency synchronization of multiple modules, thus simplifying EMI noise
suppression tasks and reducing input capacitor RMS current requirements. The module uses double-sided
surface mount construction to provide a low profile and compact footprint. Package options include both
through-hole and surface mount configurations that are lead (Pb) - free and RoHS compatible.

The minimum input voltage is 2.2 V or (VO + 0.5) V, whichever is greater.
The set-point voltage tolerance is affected by the tolerance and stability of RSET. The stated limit is unconditionally met if RSET has a
tolerance of 1% with 100 ppm/C or better temperature stability.
A low-leakage (<100 nA), open-drain device, such as MOSFET or voltage supervisor IC, is recommended to control pin 10. The
open-circuit voltage is less than VI.
This control pin has an internal pull-up. Do not place an external pull-up on this pin. If it is left open-circuit, the module operates when
input power is applied. A small, low-leakage (<100 nA) MOSFET is recommended for control. The open-circuit voltage is less than
3.5Vdc. For additional information, see the related application information section.
A 220 µF input capacitor is required for proper operation. The input capacitor must be rated for a minimum of 500 mA rms of ripple
current. An additional 22-µF ceramic input capacitor is recommended to reduce rms ripple current.

1000 µF of external non-ceramic output capacitance is required for basic operation. Adding additional capacitance at the load further
improves transient response. Up to 500 µF of ceramic capacitance may be added in addition to the required non-ceramic capacitance.
See Capacitor Application Information section for more guidance.
When using TurboTrans™ technology, a minimum value of output capacitance is required for proper operation. Additionally, low ESR
capacitors are required for proper operation. See the application notes for further guidance.

5

GND
3, 4
Inhibit (1) and
UVLO
Vo Adjust
11
This is the common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the 0 Vdc reference for the
control inputs.
The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain, negative logic input that is referenced to GND. Applying a low level
ground signal to this input disables the module’s output and turns off the output voltage. When the Inhibit control
is active, the input current drawn by the regulator is significantly reduced. If the Inhibit pin is left open-circuit, the
module produces an output whenever a valid input source is applied.
This pin is also used for input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) programming. Connecting a resistor from this pin to
GND (pin 3) allows the ON threshold of the UVLO to be adjusted higher than the default value. For more
information, see the Application Information section.
8
A 0.05 W 1% resistor must be connected between this pin and pin7 (–Sense), close to the module to set the
output voltage to a value higher than 0.69V. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or
better). The setpoint range for the output voltage is from 0.69V to 2.0V. If left open circuit, the output voltage will
default to its lowest value. For further information, on output voltage adjustment see the related application note.
The specification table gives the preferred resistor values for a number of standard output voltages.
+ Sense
6
The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the load.
For optimal voltage accuracy, +Sense must be connected to VO, very close to the load.
– Sense
7
The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the load.
For optimal voltage accuracy –Sense must be connected to GND (pin4) very close to the module (within 10cm).
10
This is an analog control input that enables the output voltage to follow an external voltage. This pin becomes
active typically 20 ms after the input voltage has been applied, and allows direct control of the output voltage
from 0 V up to the nominal set-point voltage. Within this range the module's output voltage follows the voltage at
the Track pin on a volt-for-volt basis. When the control voltage is raised above this range, the module regulates
at its set-point voltage. The feature allows the output voltage to rise simultaneously with other modules powered
from the same input bus. If unused, this input should be connected to VI.
Track
NOTE: Due to the undervoltage lockout feature, the output of the module cannot follow its own input voltage
during power up. For more information, see the related application note.
TurboTrans™
9
This input pin adjusts the transient response of the regulator. To set the TurboTrans™ feature, a 1%, 50mW
resistor must be connected between this pin and pin 6 (+Sense) very close to the module. For a given value of
output capacitance, a reduction in peak output voltage deviation is achieved by utililizing this feature. The
resistance requirement can be selected from the TurboTrans™ resistor table in the Application Information
section.
SmartSync
1
This input pin sychronizes the switching frequency of the module to an external clock frequency. The SmartSync
feature can be used to sychronize the switching fequency of multiple modules, aiding EMI noise suppression
efforts. If unused, this pin should be connected to GND (pin3). For more information, please review the
Application Information section.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The VOAdjust control (pin 8) sets the output voltage of the PTH04T240F. The adjustment range is between 0.69
V and 2.0 V. The adjustment method requires the addition of a single external resistor, RSET, that must be
connected directly between the VOAdjust and – Sense pins. Table 1 gives the standard value of the external
resistor for a number of standard voltages, along with the actual output voltage that this resistance value
provides.
For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be calculated using the following formula,
or simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2. Figure 9 shows the placement of the required
resistor.

CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PTH04T240/241W POWER MODULE
Capacitor Technologies
Electrolytic Capacitors
When using electrolytic capacitors, high quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide adequate decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to 150 kHz,
and are suitable when ambient temperatures are above -20°C. For operation below -20°C, tantalum,
ceramic, or OS-CON type capacitors are required.
Ceramic Capacitors
Above 150 kHz the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective. Multilayer ceramic
capacitors have very low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the regulator. They
can be used to reduce the reflected ripple current at the input as well as improve the transient response of
the output.
Tantalum, Polymer-Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum type capacitors may only used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where the
ambient operating temperature is less than 0°C. The AVX TPS series and Kemet capacitor series are
suggested over many other tantalum types due to their lower ESR, higher rated surge, power dissipation,
and ripple current capability. Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or surge current rating are not
recommended for power applications.
Input Capacitor (Required)
The PTH04T240F requires a minimum input capacitance of 220µF. The ripple current rating of the input
capacitor must be at least 500mArms. An additional 22-µF, X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended to
reduce the RMS ripple current.
Input Capacitor Information
The size and value of the input capacitor is determined by the converter transient performance capability. This
minimum value assumes that the converter is supplied with a responsive, low inductance input source. This
source should have ample capacitive decoupling, and be distributed to the converter via PCB power and ground
planes.
Ceramic capacitors should be located as close as possible to the module's input pins, within 0.5 inch (1,3 cm).
Adding ceramic capacitance is necessary to reduce the high-frequency ripple voltage at the module input. This
reduces the magnitude of the ripple current through the electroytic capacitor, as well as the amount of ripple
current reflected back to the input source. Additional ceramic capacitors can be added to further reduce the RMS
ripple current requirement for the electrolytic capacitor.
Increasing the minimum input capacitance to 680µF is recommended for high-performance applications, or
wherever the input source performance is degraded.
The main considerations when selecting input capacitors are the RMS ripple current rating, temperature stability,
and less than 100 mΩ of equivalent series resistance (ESR).
Regular tantalum capacitors are not recommended for the input bus. These capacitors require a recommended
minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability.
No tantalum capacitors were found with a sufficient voltage rating to meet this requirement.
When the operating temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these
applications, OS-CON, poly-aluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered.

SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 ............................................................................................................................................... www.ti.com
Output Capacitor (Required)
The PTH04T240F requires a minimum output capacitance of 1000µF of aluminum, polymer-aluminum, tantulum,
or polymer-tantalum type.
The required capacitance above the minimum will be determined by actual transient deviation requirements. See
the TurboTrans Technology Application section within this document for specific capacitance selection.
Output Capacitor Information
When selecting output capacitors, the main considerations are capacitor type, temperature stability, and ESR.
When using the TurboTrans feature, the capacitance x ESR product should also be considered (see the following
section).
Ceramic output capacitors added for high-frequency bypassing should be located as close as possible to the
load to be effective. Ceramic capacitor values below 10µF should not be included when calculating the total
output capacitance value.
When the operating temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these
applications, OS-CON, poly-aluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered.
TurboTrans Output Capacitance
TurboTrans allows the designer to optimize the output capacitance according to the system transient design
requirement. High quality, ultra-low ESR capacitors are required to maximize TurboTrans effectiveness. When
using TurboTrans, the capacitor's capacitance (µF) × ESR (mΩ) product determines its capacitor type; Type B,
or Type C. These two types are defined as follows:
• Type B = (1000 < capacitance × ESR ≤ 5000) (e.g. polymer-tantalum)
• Type C = (5000 < capacitance × ESR ≤ 10,000) (e.g. OS-CON)
When using more than one type of output capacitor, select the capacitor type that makes up the majority of your
total output capacitance. When calculating the C×ESR product, use the maximum ESR value from the capacitor
manufacturer's datasheet.
Working Examples:
A capacitor with a capacitance of 330µF and an ESR of 5mΩ, has a C×ESR product of 1650µFxmΩ (330µF ×
5mΩ). This is a Type B capacitor. A capacitor with a capacitance of 1000µF and an ESR of 8mΩ, has a C×ESR
product of 8000µFxmΩ (1000µF × 8mΩ). This is a Type C capacitor.
See the TurboTrans Technology application section within this document for specific capacitance selection.
Table 3 includes a preferred list of capacitors by type and vendor. See the Output Bus / TurboTrans column.
Designing for Fast Load Transients
The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of
2.5A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the Electrical Characteristics table using
the minimum required value of output capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a
converter’s regulation circuit ultimately depends on its output capacitor decoupling network. This is an inherent
limitation with any dc/dc converter once the speed of the transient exceeds its bandwidth capability.
If the target application specifies a higher di/dt or lower voltage deviation, the requirement can only be met with
additional low ESR ceramic capacitor decoupling. Generally, with load steps greater than 100A/µs, adding
multiple 10µF ceramic capacitors plus 10×1µF, and numerous high frequency ceramics (≤0.1µF) is all that is
required to soften the transient higher frequency edges. The PCB location of these capacitors in relation to the
load is critical. DSP, FPGA and ASIC vendors identify types, location and amount of capacitance required for
optimum performance. Low impedance buses, unbroken PCB copper planes, and components located as close
as possible to the high-frequency devices are essential for optimizing transient performance.

TurboTrans™ Technology
TurboTrans technology is a feature introduced in the T2 generation of the PTH/PTV family of power modules.
TurboTrans optimizes the transient response of the regulator with added external capacitance using a single
external resistor. Benefits of this technology include reduced output capacitance, minimized output voltage
deviation following a load transient, and enhanced stability when using ultra-low ESR output capacitors. The
amount of output capacitance required to meet a target output voltage deviation is reduced with TurboTrans
activated. Likewise, for a given amount of output capacitance, with TurboTrans engaged, the amplitude of the
voltage deviation following a load transient will be reduced. Applications requiring tight transient voltage
tolerances and minimized capacitor footprint area will benefit greatly from this technology.
TurboTrans™ Selection
Utilizing TurboTrans requires connecting a resistor, RTT, between the +Sense pin (pin6) and the TurboTrans pin
(pin9). The value of the resistor directly corresponds to the amount of output capacitance required. All T2
products require a minimum value of output capacitance. For the PTH04T240F, the minimum required
capacitance is 1000µF. When using TurboTrans, capacitors with a capacitance × ESR product below 10,000 µF
× mΩ are required. (Multiply the capacitance (in µF) by the ESR (in mΩ) to determine the capacitance × ESR
product.) See the Capacitor Selection section of the datasheet for a variety of capacitors that meet this criteria.
Figure 10 thru Figure 13 show the amount of output capacitance required to meet a desired transient voltage
deviation with and without TurboTrans for two capacitor types; TypeB (e.g. polymer-tantalum) and TypeC (e.g.
OS-CON). To calculate the proper value of RTT, first determine the required transient voltage deviation limits and
magnitude of the transient load step. Next, determine what type of output capacitors will be used. (If more than
one type of output capacitor is used, select the capacitor type that makes up the majority of your total output
capacitance.) Knowing this information, use the chart in Figure 10 through Figure 13 that corresponds to the
capacitor type selected. To use the chart, begin by dividing the maximum voltage deviation limit (in mV) by the
magnitude of your load step (in amperes). This gives a mV/A value. Find this value on the Y-axis of the
appropriate chart. Read across the graph to the 'With TurboTrans' plot. From this point, read down to the X-axis
which lists the minimum required capacitance, CO, to meet that transient voltage deviation. The required RTT
resistor value can then be calculated using the equation or selected from the TurboTrans table. The TurboTrans
tables include both the required output capacitance and the corresponding RTT values to meet several values of
transient voltage deviation for 25%(2.5A), 50%(5A), and 75%(7.5A) output load steps.
The chart can also be used to determine the achievable transient voltage deviation for a given amount of output
capacitance. By selecting the amount of output capacitance along the X-axis, reading up to the desired 'With
TurboTrans'' curve, and then over to the Y-axis, gives the transient voltage deviation limit for that value of output
capacitance. The required RTT resistor value can be calculated using the equation or selected from the
TurboTrans table.
As an example, consider a 5-V application requiring a 15 mV deviation during an 3A load transient. A majority of
330µF, 10 mΩ ouput capacitors will be used. Use the 5-V, Type B capacitor chart, Figure 10. Dividing 15mV by
3A gives 5mV/A transient voltage deviation per ampere of transient load step. Select 5mV/A on the Y-axis and
read across to the 'With TurboTrans'' plot. Following this point down to the X-axis gives a minimum required
output capacitance of approximately 1900µF. The required RTT resistor value for 1900µF can then be calculated
or selected from Table 4. The required RTT resistor is approximately 27.4kΩ.

RTT Resistor Selection
The TurboTrans resistor value, RTT can be determined from the TurboTrans programming, see Equation 2.
RTT =
40 ´ éë1 - (CO 5000 )ùû
(kW )
éë(CO 1000 ) - 1ùû
(2)
Where CO is the total output capacitance in µF. CO values greater than or equal to 5000 µF require RTT to be a
short, 0Ω. (RTT results in a negative value when CO > 5000µF).
To ensure stability, a minimum amount of output capacitance is required for a given RTT resistor value. The value
of RTT must be calculated using the minimum required output capacitance determined from the capacitor
transient response charts above.

RTT Resistor Selection
The TurboTrans resistor value, RTT can be determined from the TurboTrans programming, see Equation 3.
RTT =
40 ´ éë1 - (CO 5000 )ùû
(kW )
éë(CO 1000 ) - 1ùû
(3)
Where CO is the total output capacitance in µF. CO values greater than or equal to 5000 µF require RTT to be a
short, 0 Ω. (RTT results in a negative value when CO > 5000µF).
To ensure stability, the value of RTT must be calculated using the minimum required output capacitance
determined from the capacitor transient response charts above.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The PTH04T240F power modules incorporate an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The UVLO feature
prevents the operation of the module until there is sufficient input voltage to produce a valid output voltage. This
enables the module to provide a clean, monotonic powerup for the load circuit, and also limits the magnitude of
current drawn from the regulator input source during the power-up sequence.
The UVLO characteristic is defined by the ON threshold (VTHD) voltage. Below the ON threshold, the Inhibit
control is overridden, and the module does not produce an output. The hysteresis voltage, which is the difference
between the ON and OFF threshold voltages, is set at 500 mV. The hysteresis prevents start-up oscillations,
which can occur if the input voltage droops slightly when the module begins drawing current from the input
source.
The UVLO feature of the PTH04T240F module allows for limited adjustment of the ON threshold voltage. The
adjustment is made via the Inhbit/UVLO Prog control pin (pin 11) using a single resistor (see Figure 16). When
pin 11 is left open circuit, the ON threshold voltage is internally set to the 1.95-V default value. The ON threshold
might need to be raised if the module is powered from a tightly regulated 5-V bus. Adjusting the threshold
prevents the module from operating if the input bus fails to completely rise to its specified regulation voltage.
Equation 4 determines the value of RUVLO required to adjust VTHD to a new value. The default value is 1.95 V,
and it may be adjusted to a higher value only.

Soft-Start Power Up
The Auto-Track feature allows the power-up of multiple PTH/PTV modules to be directly controlled from the
Track pin. However in a stand-alone configuration, or when the Auto-Track feature is not being used, the Track
pin should be directly connected to the input voltage, VI (see Figure 17).
When the Track pin is connected to the input voltage the Auto-Track function is permanently disengaged. This
allows the module to power up entirely under the control of its internal soft-start circuitry. When power up is
under soft-start control, the output voltage rises to the set-point at a quicker and more linear rate.
From the moment a valid input voltage is applied, the soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically
5 ms–15 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise.
The output then progressively rises to the module’s setpoint voltage. Figure 18 shows the soft-start power-up
characteristic of the PTH04T240F operating from a 5-V input bus and configured for a 1.8-V output. The
waveforms were measured with a 10-A constant current load and the Auto-Track feature disabled. The initial rise
in input current when the input voltage first starts to rise is the charge current drawn by the input capacitors.
Power-up is complete within 30 ms.

On/Off Inhibit
For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTH04T240F incorporates an Inhibit control pin. The
inhibit feature can be used wherever there is a requirement for the output voltage from the regulator to be turned
off. The power modules function normally when the Inhibit pin is left open-circuit, providing a regulated output
whenever a valid source voltage is connected to VI with respect to GND.
Figure 19 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit input
has its own internal pull-up. An external pull-up resistor should never be used with the inhibit pin. The input is not
compatible with TTL logic devices. An open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended for
control.
Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is then
turned off, the module executes a soft-start power-up sequence. A regulated output voltage is produced within 40
ms. Figure 20 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the turn-off of Q1. The
turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, VINH. The waveforms were measured with a 10-A constant
current load.

Smart Sync
Smart Sync is a feature that allows multiple power modules to be synchronized to a common frequency. Driving
the Smart Sync pins with an external oscillator set to the desired frequency, synchronizes all connected modules
to the selected frequency. The synchronization frequency can be higher or lower than the nominal switching
frequency of the modules within the range of 240 kHz to 400 kHz (see Electrical Specifications table for
synchronization limits). Synchronizing modules powered from the same bus, eliminates beat frequencies
reflected back to the input supply, and also reduces EMI filtering requirements. Eliminating the low beat
frequencies (usually < 10 kHz) allows the EMI filter to be designed to attenuate only the synchronization
frequency. Power modules can also be synchronized out of phase to minimize source current loading and
minimize input capacitance requirements. Figure 21 shows a standard circuit with two modules syncronized 180°
out of phase using a D flip-flop.

Overcurrent Protection
For protection against load faults, all modules incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load that
exceeds the regulator's overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, the
module periodically attempts to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up. This is described as a hiccup mode of
operation, whereby the module continues in a cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault is
removed. During this period, the average current flowing into the fault is significantly reduced. Once the fault is
removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.
Overtemperature Protection (OTP)
A thermal shutdown mechanism protects the module’s internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures. A
rise in the internal temperature may be the result of a drop in airflow, or a high ambient temperature. If the
internal temperature exceeds the OTP threshold, the module’s Inhibit control is internally pulled low. This turns
the output off. The output voltage drops as the external output capacitors are discharged by the load circuit. The
recovery is automatic, and begins with a soft-start power up. It occurs when the sensed temperature decreases
by about 10°C below the trip point.
The overtemperature protection is a last resort mechanism to prevent thermal stress to the regulator.
Operation at or close to the thermal shutdown temperature is not recommended and reduces the long-term
reliability of the module. Always operate the regulator within the specified safe operating area (SOA) limits for
the worst-case conditions of ambient temperature and airflow.
Differential Output Voltage Remote Sense
Differential remote sense improves the load regulation performance of the module by allowing it to compensate
for any IR voltage drop between its output and the load in either the positive or return path. An IR drop is caused
by the output current flowing through the small amount of pin and trace resistance. With the sense pins
connected, the difference between the voltage measured directly between the VO and GND pins, and that
measured at the Sense pins, is the amount of IR drop being compensated by the regulator. This should be
limited to a maximum of 0.3V. Connecting the +Sense (pin 6) to the positive load terminal improves the load
regulation at the connection point. For optimal behavior the –Sense (pin 7) must be connected to GND (pin 4)
close to the module (within 10 cm).
If the remote sense feature is not used at the load, connect the +Sense pin to VO (pin5) and connect the –Sense
pin to the module GND (pin 4).
The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear or frequency
dependent components that may be placed in series with the converter output. Examples include OR-ing
diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When these components are enclosed by the remote sense
connection they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the
stability of the regulator.

Auto-Track™ Function
The Auto-Track function is unique to the PTH/PTV family, and is available with all POLA products. Auto-Track
was designed to simplify the amount of circuitry required to make the output voltage from each module power up
and power down in sequence. The sequencing of two or more supply voltages during power up is a common
requirement for complex mixed-signal applications that use dual-voltage VLSI ICs such as the TMS320™ DSP
family, microprocessors, and ASICs.
How Auto-Track™ Works
Auto-Track works by forcing the module output voltage to follow a voltage presented at the Track control pin (1).
This control range is limited to between 0 V and the module set-point voltage. Once the track-pin voltage is
raised above the set-point voltage, the module output remains at its set-point (2). As an example, if the Track pin
of a 2.5-V regulator is at 1 V, the regulated output is 1 V. If the voltage at the Track pin rises to 3 V, the regulated
output does not go higher than 2.5 V.
When under Auto-Track control, the regulated output from the module follows the voltage at its Track pin on a
volt-for-volt basis. By connecting the Track pin of a number of these modules together, the output voltages follow
a common signal during power up and power down. The control signal can be an externally generated master
ramp waveform, or the output voltage from another power supply circuit (3). For convenience, the Track input
incorporates an internal RC-charge circuit. This operates off the module input voltage to produce a suitable rising
waveform at power up.
Typical Application
The basic implementation of Auto-Track allows for simultaneous voltage sequencing of a number of Auto-Track
compliant modules. Connecting the Track inputs of two or more modules forces their track input to follow the
same collective RC-ramp waveform, and allows their power-up sequence to be coordinated from a common
Track control signal. This can be an open-collector (or open-drain) device, such as a power-up reset voltage
supervisor IC. See U3 in Figure 22.
To coordinate a power-up sequence, the Track control must first be pulled to ground potential. This should be
done at or before input power is applied to the modules. The ground signal should be maintained for at least
20 ms after input power has been applied. This brief period gives the modules time to complete their internal
soft-start initialization (4), enabling them to produce an output voltage. A low-cost supply voltage supervisor IC,
that includes a built-in time delay, is an ideal component for automatically controlling the Track inputs at power
up.
Figure 22 shows how a TPS3808 supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequenced
power up of 5-V PTH modules. The output of the TPS3808 supervisor becomes active above an input voltage of
0.8 V, enabling it to assert a ground signal to the common track control well before the input voltage has reached
the module's undervoltage lockout threshold. The ground signal is maintained until approximately 27ms after the
input voltage has risen above U3's voltage threshold, which is 4.65V. The 27-ms time period is controlled by the
capacitor C3. The value of 4700pF provides sufficient time delay for the modules to complete their internal
soft-start initialization. The output voltage of each module remains at zero until the track control voltage is
allowed to rise. When U3 removes the ground signal, the track control voltage automatically rises. This causes
the output voltage of each module to rise simultaneously with the other modules, until each reaches its
respective set-point voltage.
Figure 23 shows the output voltage waveforms after input voltage is applied to the circuit. The waveforms, VO1
and VO2, represent the output voltages from the two power modules, U1 (3.3 V) and U2 (1.8 V), respectively.
VTRK, VO1, and VO2 are shown rising together to produce the desired simultaneous power-up characteristic.
The same circuit also provides a power-down sequence. When the input voltage falls below U3's voltage
threshold, the ground signal is re-applied to the common track control. This pulls the track inputs to zero volts,
forcing the output of each module to follow, as shown in Figure 24. Power down is normally complete before the
input voltage has fallen below the modules' undervoltage lockout. This is an important constraint. Once the
modules recognize that an input voltage is no longer present, their outputs can no longer follow the voltage
applied at their track input. During a power-down sequence, the fall in the output voltage from the modules is
limited by the Auto-Track slew rate capability.

Notes on Use of Auto-Track™
1. The Track pin voltage must be allowed to rise above the module set-point voltage before the module
regulates at its adjusted set-point voltage.
2. The Auto-Track function tracks almost any voltage ramp during power up, and is compatible with ramp
speeds of up to 1 V/ms.
3. The absolute maximum voltage that may be applied to the Track pin is the input voltage VI.
4. The module cannot follow a voltage at its track control input until it has completed its soft-start initialization.
This takes about 20 ms from the time that a valid voltage has been applied to its input. During this period, it
is recommended that the Track pin be held at ground potential.
5. The Auto-Track function is disabled by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage (VI). When Auto-Track is
disabled, the output voltage rises according to its softstart rate after input power has been applied.
6. The Auto-Track pin should never be used to regulate the module's output voltage for long-term, steady-state
operation.

Prebias Startup Capability
A prebias startup condition occurs as a result of an external voltage being present at the output of a power
module prior to its output becoming active. This often occurs in complex digital systems when current from
another power source is backfed through a dual-supply logic component, such as an FPGA or ASIC. Another
path might be via clamp diodes as part of a dual-supply power-up sequencing arrangement. A prebias can cause
problems with power modules that incorporate synchronous rectifiers. This is because under most operating
conditions, these types of modules can sink as well as source output current.
The PTH family of power modules incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but does not sink current during startup(1),
or whenever the Inhibit pin is held low. However, to ensure satisfactory operation of this function, certain
conditions must be maintained(2). Figure 25 shows an application demonstrating the prebias startup capability.
The startup waveforms are shown in Figure 26. Note that the output current (IO) is negligible until the output
voltage rises above the voltage backfed through the intrinsic diodes.
The prebias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track. When the module is under Auto-Track control, it
sinks current if the output voltage is below that of a back-feeding source. To ensure a pre-bias hold-off one of
two approaches must be followed when input power is applied to the module. The Auto-Track function must
either be disabled(3), or the module’s output held off (for at least 50 ms) using the Inhibit pin. Either approach
ensures that the Track pin voltage is above the set-point voltage at start up.
1. Startup includes the short delay (approximately 10 ms) prior to the output voltage rising, followed by the rise
of the output voltage under the module’s internal soft-start control. Startup is complete when the output
voltage has risen to either the set-point voltage or the voltage at the Track pin, whichever is lowest.
2. To ensure that the regulator does not sink current when power is first applied (even with a ground signal
applied to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage must always be greater than the output voltage throughout
the power-up and power-down sequence.
3. The Auto-Track function can be disabled at power up by immediately applying a voltage to the module’s
Track pin that is greater than its set-point voltage. This can be easily accomplished by connecting the Track
pin to VI.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
