Description
Ordering Information
The PT5820 Excalibur™ series of integrated
switching regulators (ISRs) combines outstanding power density with a comprehensive list of
features. They are an ideal choice for applications
where board space is a premium and performance
cannot be compromised. These modules provide
a full 16A of output current, yet are housed in a
low-profile, 18-pin, package. The integral copper
case construction requires no heatsink, and offers
the advantages of solderability and a small footprint (0.736 in² for suffix ‘N’). Both through-hole
and surface mount pin configurations are available.
The PT5820 series operates from a 12-V input
bus and provides a convenient point-of-load power
source for the industry’s latest high-performance
DSPs and microprocessors. The series includes
output voltage options as low as 1.0VDC.
Other features include external output voltage
adjustment, a ±5% margin control, on/off enable,
short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. A
560-µF input capacitor and 330µF output capacitor
are required for proper operation.

Notes: (1) The Inhibit control (pin 2) has an internal pull-up to 12V (Vin ), and if left open-circuit the module will operate when input power is applied. A small
low-leakage (<100nA) MOSFET is recommended to control this input. See application notes for more information.
(2) A 560µF electrolytic input capacitor is required for proper operation. The capacitor must be rated for a minimumm of 1.3Arms of ripple current. For
further information, consult the related application note on capacitor selection.
(3) An external 330µF output capacitor is required for proper operation. Distributed load capacitance can be included in this value.
(4) See SOA curves or consult factory for the appropriate derating.
(5) The case pins on the through-hole package types (suffixes N & A) must be soldered. For more information see the applicable package outline drawing.

PT5820 Series
16-A 12-V Input Adjustable
Integrated Switching Regulator
Pin Descriptions
+Vin: The positive supply voltage input for the module
with respect to the common GND.
+Vo: This is the regulated output voltage from the module with respect to the common GND.
GND: The common GND node to which the input, output, and external control signals are referenced.
Sense(–): Provides the regulator with the ability to sense
the set-point voltage directly across the load. For optimum output voltage accuracy this pin should always be
connected to GND, even for applications that demand a
relatively light load.
Sense(+): When used with Sense(–), the regulation circuitry will compensate for voltage drop between the
converter and the load. The pin may be left open circuit,
but connecting it to +Vo will optimize load regulation..
Inhibit: This is an active low input, which is referenced
to GND. Driving this pin to GND disables the module’s
output voltage. If Inhibit is left open-circuit, the output
will be active whenever a valid input source is applied.
Vo Adjust: This pin is used to trim the output voltage to a
value within a range of up to ±10% of the setpoint. The
adjustment requires an external resistor. The resistor is
connected from Vo Adjust, to either the Sense(–) or Sense(+),
in order to adjust the output voltage either up or down,
respectively.
Margin Up: When this pin is connected to Sense(–), the
output voltage is increased by 5% of the nominal setpoint.
The Margin Up and Margin Down control inputs provide
a convenient method for testing the operation of the
load circuit over a ±5% variation in the supply voltage.
Margin Down: When this pin is connected to Sense(–), the
output voltage is decreased by approximately 5% from
the nominal.

Application Notes
PT5820 Series
Operating Features of the PT5820 Series of
Step-Down Integrated Switching Regulators
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Over-Current Protection
The PT5820 series of non-isolated step-down ISRs
incorporate an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) function.
The UVLO provides a clean transition during power-up
and power-down, allowing the regulator to tolerate a
slowly rising input voltage. The UVLO prevents operation of the regulator until the input voltage is at or above
above the UVLO threshold. The UVLO threshold is just
below the minimum input voltage. Until the input voltage
is above this threshold, the status of the Inhibit control
(pin 2) is overriden, and the module will not produce an
output. When the minimum input voltage of 10.8V is
applied, the output status is determined by the Inhibit
control. If the Inhibit pin is open-circuit (not grounded),
the module will automatically power up. (Note: Even
though the applied input voltage may be above the UVLO
threshold, operation to the published specifications requires
that the input voltage be at or above the minimum specified.
Operation of the module below the minimum input voltage is
not recommended).
To protect against load faults, the PT5820 series incorporates output over-current protection. Applying a load
that exceeds the regulator’s over-current threshold (see
data sheet specifications) will cause the regulated output
to shut down. Following shutdown the ISR will periodically attempt to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up.
This is often described as a “hiccup” mode of operation,
whereby the module continues in the 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 converter automatically recovers and returns to normal
operation.
Soft-Start Power Up
Following either the application of a valid input source
voltage, or the removal of a ground signal to the Inhibit
control pin (with input power applied), the regulator will
initiate a soft-start power up. The soft start slows the
rate at which the output voltage rises, and also introduces a
short time delay, td (approx. 10–15ms). Figure 1-1 shows
the power-up characteristic of a PT5821 (3.3V). The
delay time, td, is measured from the point at which the
input voltage rises above the UVLO threshold to when
the output voltage starts to rise. During this period the
output of the regulator will assert a low impedance to
ground. This has the effect of discharging any residual
voltage across the output capacitors, and will crowbar
any voltage supplied from external sources.
Figure 1-1; Soft-Start Power Up
Vo (2V/Div)
Thermal Shutdown
The PT5820 series ISRs incorporate thermal shutdown,
which protects the module’s internal circuitry against
excessively high temperatures. A rise in the temperature
of the internal components may be the result of a drop
in airflow, or a high ambient temperature. If the module’s
internal temperature exceeds the shutdown threshold
(see data sheet specifications), the regulator output is
disabled and the output voltage is reduced to zero. The
recovery is automatic, and begins with a soft-start power
up. It occurs when the the sensed temperature decreases
by about 10°C below the trip point.
Note: The over-temperature 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 will reduce 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.
Output Voltage Adjustment
The PT5820 series ISRs offer OEMs two alternative
methods of output voltage adjustment. The Margin Up
and Margin Down control inputs provide a convenient
method of adjusting the output voltage by a nominal
±5% of the factory setpoint voltage. For a more permanent and precise method of adjustment, the Vo Adjust
control allows the output to be adjusted in any increment by up to ±10%. For more information on this
subject, consult the related application note on output
voltage adjustment.

Application Notes
PT5820 Series
Using the Inhibit Control of the PT5820 Series
of Step-Down Regulators
For applications requiring output voltage On/Off control,
the PT5820 series of ISRs incorporate an inhibit function.
This function can be used wherever there is a requirement
for the output voltage from the ISR to be turned off. The
On/Off function is provided by the Inhibit control (pin 2).
The ISR functions normally with pin 2 open-circuit,
providing a regulated output whenever a valid source
voltage is applied between Vin (pins 5–7) and GND (pins
11–13). When a low-level ground signal is applied to
pin 2, the regulator output is turned off.
Figure 2-1 shows the typical application of the Inhibit
function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit
control has its own internal pull-up to +Vin potential. An
open-collector or open-drain device is required to control
this input 1. The voltage thresholds are given in Table 2-1.
Turn-On Time: In the circuit of Figure 2-1, turning Q1 on
applies a low-voltage to the Inhibit control (pin 2) and
disables the output of the regulator 2. If Q1 is then turned
off, the ISR executes a soft-start power up. Power up
consists of a short delay period, td (approx. 10-15msec) 3,
followed by a period in which the output voltage rises
to its full regulation voltage. The module produces a
regulated output voltage within 20msec. Figure 2-2
shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and
input current for a PT5821 (3.3V), following the turnoff of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the
waveform, Q1 Vds. The waveforms were measured with a
12VDC input voltage, and 10-A load.

Notes:
1. Use an open-collector device with a breakdown voltage
of at least 15V (preferably a discrete transistor) for the
Inhibit input. A pull-up resistor is not necessary. To disable
the output voltage the control pin should be pulled low
to less than +0.8VDC.
2. When a ground signal is applied to the Inhibit control
(pin 2) the module output is turned off. The output
voltage decays to zero as the load impedance discharges
the output capacitors.
3. During the period ‘td’ in Figure 2-2 the module will
assert a low impedance to ground. This will discharge any
residual voltage across the output capacitors, and will
crowbar any voltage supplied from external sources.

PT5820 Series
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the
PT5820 Series of Step-Down ISRs
The Margin Up (pin 4) and Margin Down (pin 3) control
inputs allow the output voltage to be easily adjusted by
approximately ±5% of the the set-point voltage. These
control inputs provide a convenient method for applying
a momentary adjustment to test a load circuit’s supply
voltage margins. To activate, simply connect the appropriate control input to the Sense(–) (pin 8), or the local
starpoint ground. Either a logic level MOSFET or a
p-channel JFET is recommended for this application.
Vo Adjust Resistor Calculations
The values of R1 [adjust up] and (R2) [adjust down] can
also be calculated using the following formulas. Again, use
Figure 3-1for the placement of the required resistor;
either R1 or (R2) as appropriate.

Using the ‘Vo Adjust’ Control
For a more permanent and precise adjustment, use the
Vo Adjust control (pin 1). The Vo Adjust control allows
adjustment in any increment by up to ±10% of the setpoint. The adjustment method requires the addition of a
single external resistor. Table 3-1 gives the allowable
adjustment range for each model of the series as Va (min)
and Va (max). The value of the external resistor can either
be calculated using the formulas given below, or simply
selected from the range of values provided in Table 3-2.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for the placement of the required
resistor. Use the resistor R1 to adjust up, and the resistor
(R2) to down.

Application Notes
PT5820 Series
Capacitor Recommendations for the
PT5820 Regulator Series
Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum type capacitors can be used for the output but
only the AVX TPS, Sprague 593D/594/595 or Kemet
T495/T510 series. These capacitors are recommended
over many other tantalum types due to their higher rated
surge, power dissipation, and ripple current capability.
As a caution the TAJ series by AVX is not recommended.
This series has considerably higher ESR, reduced power
dissipation, and lower ripple current capability. The TAJ
series is less reliable than the AVX TPS series when determining power dissipation capability. Tantalum or Oscon®
types are recommended for applications where ambient
temperatures fall below 0°C.
Input Capacitor:
The recommended input capacitance is determined by
1.3 ampere minimum ripple current rating and 560µF
minimum capacitance.
Ripple current and <100mΩ equivalent series resistance
(ESR) values are the major considerations, along with
temperature, when designing with different types of
capacitors. Tantalum capacitors have a recommended
minimum voltage rating of twice the maximum DC
voltage + AC ripple. This is necessary to insure reliability for input voltage bus applications.
Capacitor Table
Table 1 identifies the characteristics of capacitors from a
number of vendors with acceptable ESR and ripple current (rms) ratings. The number of capacitors required at
both the input and output buses is identified for each
capacitor type.
Output Capacitors:
The maximum allowable ESR of the output capacitor is
150mΩ. Electrolytic capacitors have marginal ripple
performance at frequencies greater than 400kHz but
excellent low frequency transient response. Above the
ripple frequency, ceramic capacitors are necessary to
improve the transient response and reduce any high
frequency noise components apparent during higher
current excursions. Preferred low ESR type capacitor
part numbers are identified in Table 4-1.
This is not an extensive capacitor list. Capacitors from other
vendors are available with comparable specifications. Those listed
are for guidance. The RMS ripple current rating and ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance at 100kHz) are critical parameters
necessary to insure both optimum regulator performance and
long capacitor life.
