DESCRIPTION
The PTN78020A is a series of high-efficiency buck-boost-integrated switching regulators (ISR), that represent the
third generation in the evolution of high-performance power modules designed for industrial use. The wide-input
voltage range makes these modules suitable for a variety of applications that operate off 12–V, 24–V, and
tightly-regulated 28–V dc power. In new designs, they should be considered in place of the PT6640 and
PT78NR100 series of single in-line pin (SIP) products. The PTN78020A is smaller and lighter than its
predecessors, and has either similar or improved electrical performance characteristics. The caseless,
double-sided package has excellent thermal characteristics, and is compatible with TI's roadmap for RoHS and
lead-free compliance.
The PTN78020A operates over an input voltage range of 9 V to 29 V, and provides high-efficiency,
positive-to-negative voltage conversion for loads of up to 4 A. The output voltage is set using a single external
resistor, and may be adjusted to any value within the range, –15 V to –3 V.

The maximum output current is 4 A, or a maximum output power of 25 W, whichever is less.
The maximum input voltage is limited and defined to be (32 – |VO|) volts.
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 minimum 100-µF electrolytic and four 4.7-µF ceramic capacitors are required across the input (VI and GND) for proper operation.
Locate the ceramic capacitors close to the module.
100 µF of output capacitance is required for proper operation. See the application information for further guidance.
This is the typical ESR for all the electrolytic (nonceramic) capacitance. Use 17 mΩ as the minimum when using max-ESR values to
calculate.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTN78020A Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
General
A resistor must be connected directly between the VO Adjust control (pin 4) and the output voltage (pin 7) to set
the output voltage lower than –3 V. The adjustment range is from –15 V to –3 V. If pin 4 is left open, the output
voltage defaults to the highest value, –3 V.
Table 1 gives the standard resistor value for a number of common voltages, and with the actual output voltage
that the value produces. For other output voltages, the resistor value can either be calculated using the following
formula, or simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2. Figure 17 shows the placement of the
required resistor.
RSET = 54.9 kW ´
1.25 V
|VO| - 3 V
- 5.62 kW
Input Voltage Considerations
The PTN78020A is a buck-boost switching regulator. In order that the output remains in regulation, the input
voltage must not exceed the output by a maximum differential voltage.
Another consideration is the pulse width modulation (PWM) range of the regulator's internal control circuit. For
stable operation, its operating duty cycle should not be lower than some minimum percentage. This defines the
maximum advisable ratio between the regulator's input and output voltage magnitudes.
For satisfactory performance, the maximum operating input voltage range must be equal to (32 - |VO|) volts.
As an example, Table 1 gives the operating input voltage range for the common output bus voltages. In addition,
the Electrical Characteristics define the available output voltage adjust range for various input voltages.

A 0.05-W rated resistor may be used. The tolerance should be 1%, with a temperature stability of 100 ppm/°C (or
better). Place the resistor as close to the regulator as possible. Connect the resistor directly between pins 4 and 1
using dedicated PCB traces.
(2)
Never connect capacitors from VO Adjust to either GND or Vout. Any capacitance added to the VO Adjust pin affects
the stability of the regulator.

CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PTN78020 WIDE-OUTPUT
ADJUST POWER MODULES
Input Capacitor
The minimum requirement for the input capacitance is 18.8-µF (4× 4.7-µF) ceramic capacitance, in either a X5R
or X7R temperature characteristic, and 100-µF of nonceramic capacitance. Ceramic capacitors should be located
within 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) of the regulator's input pins. Electrolytic capacitors must be used at the input in addition
to the required ceramic capacitance. The minimum ripple current rating for any nonceramic capacitance must be
at least 750 mA rms for output currents of 3 A or less. The ripple current rating of electrolytic capacitors is a
major consideration when they are used at the input. This ripple current requirement can be reduced by placing
more ceramic capacitors at the input, in addition to the minimum required 18.8-µF.
Tantalum capacitors are not recommended for use at the input bus, as none were found to meet the minimum
voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). This voltage derating is standard practice for regular
tantalum capacitors to ensure reliability. Polymer-tantalum capacitors are more reliable, and are available with a
maximum rating of typically 20 V. These can be used with input voltages up to 16 V.
Output Capacitor
The minimum electrolytic capacitance required to ensure stability is a 100-µF capacitor. Either ceramic or
electrolytic-type capacitors can be used. The minimum ripple current rating for the nonceramic capacitance must
be at least 250 mA rms. The stability of the module and voltage tolerances is compromised if the capacitor is not
placed near the output bus pins. A high-quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitor should be adequate. A
ceramic capacitor can be also be located within 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) of the output pin.
For applications with load transients (sudden changes in load current), the regulator response improves with
additional capacitance. Additional electrolytic capacitors should be located close to the load circuit. These
capacitors provide decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to 150 kHz. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are
suitable for ambient temperatures above 0°C. For operation below 0°C, tantalum or Os-Con-type capacitors are
recommended. When using one or more nonceramic capacitors, the calculated equivalent ESR should be no
lower than 10 mΩ (17 mΩ using the manufacturer's maximum ESR for a single capacitor). A list of recommended
capacitors and vendors are identified in Table 3.
Ceramic Capacitors
Above 150 kHz, the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors becomes less effective. To further reduce
the reflected input ripple current or the output transient response, multilayer ceramic capacitors must be added.
Ceramic capacitors have low ESR, and their resonant frequency is higher than the bandwidth of the regulator.
When placed at the output, their combined ESR is not critical as long as the total value of ceramic capacitance
does not exceed 200 µF.
Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum-type capacitors may be used at the output, and are recommended for applications where the ambient
operating temperature can be less than 0°C. The AVX TPS, Sprague 593D/594/595, and Kemet
T495/T510/T520 capacitors series are suggested over many other tantalum types due to their rated surge, power
dissipation, and ripple current capability. As a caution, many general-purpose tantalum capacitors have
considerably higher ESR, reduced power dissipation, and lower ripple current capability. These capacitors are
also less reliable as they have lower power dissipation and surge current ratings. Tantalum capacitors that do not
have a stated ESR or surge current rating are not recommended for power applications. When specifying
Os-Con and polymer-tantalum capacitors for the output, the minimum ESR limit is encountered well before the
maximum capacitance value is reached.
Capacitor Table
The capacitor table, Table 3, identifies the characteristics of capacitors from vendors with acceptable ESR and
ripple current (rms) ratings. The recommended number of capacitors required at both the input and output buses
is identified for each capacitor type. This is not an extensive capacitor list. Capacitors from other vendors are
available with comparable specifications. Those listed are for guidance. The rms rating and ESR (at 100 kHz) are
critical parameters necessary to ensure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor life.

SLTS244A – APRIL 2005 – REVISED MAY 2005
Designing for Load Transients
The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of
1 A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the data sheet specification table using the
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 of
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 output
capacitor decoupling. In these cases, special attention must be paid to the type, value, and ESR of the
capacitors selected.

The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be selected for the desired operating input voltage range of the regulator. To operate the
regulator at a higher input voltage, select a capacitor with the next higher voltage rating.
Not recommended (N/R). The voltage rating does not meet the minimum operating limits in most applications.
The maximum voltage rating of the capacitor must be selected for the desired set-point voltage (VO ). To operate at a higher output
voltage, select a capacitor with a higher voltage rating.
The maximum rating of the ceramic capacitor limits the regulator operating input voltage to 20 V. Select a alternative ceramic
component to operate at a higher input voltage.

Power-Up Characteristics
When configured per the standard application, the PTN78020A power module produces a regulated output
voltage following the application of a valid input source voltage. During power up, internal soft-start circuitry slows
the rate that the output voltage rises, thereby limiting the amount of in-rush current that can be drawn from the
input source. The soft-start circuitry introduces a short time delay (typically 5 ms – 10 ms) into the power-up
characteristic. This is from the point that a valid input source is recognized. Figure 18 shows the power-up
waveforms for a PTN78020A, operating from a 12-V input and with the output voltage adjusted to –5-V. The
waveforms were measured with a 3-A resistive load.
VI (5 V/div)
VO (2 V/div)
II (2 A/div)
t - Time = 5 ms/div
Figure 18. Power-Up Waveforms
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents the module from attempting to power up until the input voltage
is above the UVLO threshold. This prevents the module from drawing excessive current from the input source at
power up. Below the UVLO threshold, the module is held off.
Current Limit Protection
The PTN78020 modules protect against load faults with a continuous current limit characteristic. Under a load
fault condition, the output current cannot exceed the current limit value. Attempting to draw current that exceeds
the current limit value causes the module to progressively reduce its output voltage. Current is continuously
supplied to the fault until it is removed. On removal of the fault, the output voltage promptly recovers. When
limiting output current, the regulator experiences higher power dissipation, which increases its temperature. If the
temperature increase is excessive, the module overtemperature protection begins to periodically turn the output
voltage completely off.
Overtemperature Protection
A thermal shutdown mechanism protects the module's internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures. A
rise in temperature may be the result of a drop in airflow, a high ambient temperature, or a sustained current limit
condition. If the junction temperature of the internal control IC rises excessively the module turns itself off,
reducing the output voltage to zero. The module instantly restarts when the sensed temperature decreases by a
few degrees.
Overtemperature protection is a last-resort mechanism to prevent damage to the module. It should not be relied
on as permanent protection against thermal stress. Always operate the module within its temperature derated
limits, for the worst-case operating conditions of output current, ambient temperature, and airflow. Operating the
module above these limits, albeit below the thermal shutdown temperature, reduces the long-term reliability of
the module.

SLTS244A – APRIL 2005 – REVISED MAY 2005
Optional Input/Output Filters
Power modules include internal input and output ceramic capacitors in all of their designs. However, some
applications require much lower levels of either input reflected or output ripple/noise. This application describes
various filters and design techniques found to be successful in reducing both input and output ripple/noise.
Input/Output Capacitors
The easiest way to reduce output ripple and noise is to add one or more 1-µF ceramic capacitors, such as C5
shown in Figure 19. Ceramic capacitors should be placed close to the output power terminals. A single 1-µF
capacitor reduces the output ripple/noise by 10% to 30% for modules with a rated output current of less than 3 A.
(Note: C4 is required to improve the regulator transient response, and does not reduce output ripple and noise.)
Switching regulators draw current from the input line in pulses at their operating frequency. The amount of
reflected (input) ripple/noise generated is directly proportional to the equivalent source impedance of the power
source including the impedance of any input lines. The addition of C1, minimum 1-µF ceramic capacitor, near the
input power pins, reduces reflected conducted ripple/noise by 10% to 30%.

Figure 19. Adding High-Frequency Bypass Capacitors to the Input and Output
π Filters
If a further reduction in ripple/noise level is required for an application, higher order filters must be used. A π (pi)
filter, employing a ferrite bead (Fair-Rite Pt. No. 2673000701 or equivalent) in series with the input or output
terminals of the regulator reduces the ripple/noise by at least 20 db (see Figure 20 and Figure 21). In order for
the inductor to be effective in reduction of ripple and noise-ceramic capacitors are required. (See Capacitor
Recommendations for the PTN78020A for additional information on vendors and component suggestions.)
These inductors plus ceramic capacitors form an excellent filter because of the rejection at the switching
frequency (650 kHz - 1 MHz). The placement of this filter is critical. It must be located as close as possible to the
input or output pins to be effective. The ferrite bead is small (12,5 mm × 3 mm), easy to use, low cost, and has
low dc resistance. Fair-Rite also manufactures a surface-mount bead (part number 2773021447), through hole
(part number 2673000701) rated to 5 A. 1-µH to 5-µH inductors can be used in place of the ferrite inductor bead.
