Description
Ordering Information
The PT6440 Excalibur™ power modules
are a series of high performance Integrated
Switching Regulators (ISRs), housed in a
thermally efficient solderable copper case.
These modules operate from input voltages
as low as 3.1V to produce a high-output lowvoltage power source; ideal for powering the
industry’s latest DSP and microprocessors.
The series includes standard output bus
voltages as low as 1.0VDC.
The innovative copper case construction
provides superior thermal performance in a
small footprint. Both through-hole and
surface mount pin configurations are available. The PT6440 series operating features
include external output voltage adjustment,
an On/Off inhibit, and short-circuit protection.
A 100µF input, and 330µF output capacitor
are required for proper operation.

Notes: (1) The ISR will operate at no load with reduced specifications.
(2) The Inhibit control (pin 1) has an internal pull-up and if it is left open circuit the module will operate when input power is applied. The open-circuit
voltage is the input voltage V in. Use a discrete MOSFET to control the Inhibit pin, and ensure a transitioin time of less than ≤ 10µs. Consult the related
application note for other interface considerations.
(3) For operation below 0°C, Cin and Cout must have stable characteristics. Use either low ESR tantalum or Oscon® capacitors.
(4) See Safe Operating Area curves or contact the factory for the appropriate derating.
(5) The case pins on through-hole package types (suffixes N & A) must be soldered. For more information consult the applicable package outline drawing.
Input/Output Capacitors: The PT6440 regulator series requires a 100µF electrolytic (or tantalum) capacitor at the input and 330µF at the output for proper
operation in all applications. In addition, the input capacitance, C in, must be rated for a minimum of 350mArms of ripple current, and the ESR of the output
capacitor, Cout , must less than 100mΩ @100kHz. For transient or dynamic load applications additional output capacitance may be necessary. For more information
consult the related application note on capacitor recommendations.

Capacitor Recommendations for the PT6440
Excalibur™ 5V/3.3V Bus Step-Down ISRs
Tanatalum Capacitors
The recommended input capacitance is determined by
350 milli-amperes (rms) minimum ripple current rating
and 100µF minimum capacitance. Capacitors placed at
the input must be rated for a minimum of twice the input
voltage with +5V operation. Ripple current and ≤200mΩ
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) values are the major
considerations, along with temperature, when selecting
the proper input capacitor.
Tantalum capacitors are recommended on the output bus
but only the AVX TPS series, Sprague 593D/594/595
series or Kemet T495/T510 series. These capacitors are
specified over many other types due to their higher surge
current, power dissipation and ripple current capability.
As a caution, the TAJ Series by AVX is not recommended.
This series exhibits considerably higher ESR and lower
ripple current capability. The TAJ series is also less reliable
than the TPS series when determining power dissipation
capability. Tantalum or Oscon® types are recommended
in applications where ambient temperatures fall below 0°C.
Output Capacitors
Capacitor Table
The ESR of the required 330µF output capacitor must
be less than or equal to 100mΩ. Failure to observe this
requirement may lead to regulator instability or oscillation.
Electrolytic capacitors have poor ripple performance at
frequencies greater than 300kHz but excellent low frequency transient response. Above the ripple frequency,
ceramic decoupling capacitors are necessary to improve the
transient response and reduce any high frequency noise
components apparent during higher current excursions.
The preferred low ESR type capacitor part numbers are
identified in Table 1.
Table 1 identifies vendors with acceptable ESR and
maximum allowable ripple current (rms) ratings. The
suggested minimum quantities per regulator for both
the input and output buses are identified.
Input Capacitors
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.

Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT6440
Excalibur 5V/3.3V Bus Step-Down ISRs
The output voltage of the PT6440 Series ISRs may be
adjusted higher or lower than the factory trimmed preset voltage with the addition of a single external resistor.
Table 1 gives the allowable adjustment range for each
model for either series as Va (min) and Va (max).
The values of (R1) [adjust down], and R2 [adjust up], can
also be calculated using the following formulas. Refer to
Figure 1 and Table 2 for both the placement and value of the
required resistor; either (R1) or R2 as appropriate.
Ro (Va – 0.9)
Vo – Va
(R1)
=
Adjust Up: An increase in the output voltage is obtained by
adding a resistor R2, between Vo Adj (pin 12) and GND
(pins 5–8).
R2
=
Adjust Down: Add a resistor (R1), between Vo Adj (pin 12)
and Vout (pins 9–11).

Application Notes
PT6440 Series
Using the Inhibit Function on the PT6440
Excalibur 5V/3.3V Bus Step-Down ISRs
For applications requiring output voltage On/Off control,
the 12-pin PT6440 series products incorporate an Inhibit
function. This function may be used wherever there is a
requirement for the module to be switched off. The
function is provided by the Inhibit control (pin 1) input.
The ISR functions normally with pin 1 open-circuit, 1
providing a regulated output whenever a valid source
voltage is applied to Vin, (pins 2–4), with respect to GND
(pins 5–8). When a low-level ground signal is applied
to pin 1, the regulator output is disabled.
Figure 1 shows an application schematic, which details
the typical use 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 opendrain device is required to control this pin. 2
Turn-On Time: In the circuit of Figure 1, turning Q1 on
applies a low-voltage to the Inhibit control (pin 1) and
disables the regulator output. Correspondingly, turning
Q1 off allows the Inhibit control pin to be pulled high by
its internal pull-up resistor. The ISR produces a fully
regulated output voltage within 10 milliseconds of the
release of the Inhibit control pin. The actual turn-on
time will vary with input voltage, output load, and the
total amount of load capacitance. Figure 2 shows the
typical rise in both output voltage and input current for a
PT6441 (3.3V) following the turn-off of Q1 at time t =0.
The waveform was measured with a 5Vdc input voltage,
and 6 Adc resistive load.

The Inhibit pin control thresholds are given in Table 1.
Equation 1 may be used to determine the approximate
current drawn from the input source, and by Q1 when the
regulator is placed in the inhibit state.

Notes:
1. Use an open-collector device (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 +0.5VDC.

3. Avoid capacitance greater than 500pF at the Inhibit
control pin. Excessive capacitance at this pin will cause the
ISR to produce a pulse on the output voltage bus at turnon.

2. Do not control the Inhibit input with an external DC
voltage. This will lead to erratic operation of the ISR and
may over-stress the regulator.

4. Keep the On/Off transition to less than 10µs. This
prevents erratic operation of the ISR, which could cause
the output voltage to be momentarily higher than normal.
