DESCRIPTION
The PTN78020 is a series of high-efficiency, step-down integrated switching regulators (ISRs), 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 28–V
dc power. In new designs they should be considered in place of the PT6620, PT6650, PT6680, and PT6880
series of single in-line pin (SIP) products. The PTN78020 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.
Operating from a wide-input voltage range, the PTN78020 provides high-efficiency, step-down voltage
conversion for loads of up to 6 A. The output voltage is set using a single, external resistor. The PTN78020W
may be set to any value within the range, 2.5 V to 12.6 V, and the PTN78020H from 11.85 V to 22 V. The output
voltage of the PTN78020W can be as little as 2 V lower than the input, allowing operation down to 7 V, with an
output voltage of 5 V. The output voltage of the PTN78020H can be as little as 3 V lower than the input, allowing
operation down to 15 V, with an output voltage of 12 V.
The PTN78020 has undervoltage lockout, an integral on/off inhibit, and includes an output current limit and
overtemperature protection.

Above an input voltage of 24 V, the maximum output current must be derated by 125 mA per volt above 24 V.
For output voltages less than 10 V, the minimum input voltage is 7 V or (VO + 2) V, whichever is greater. For output voltages of 10 V
and higher, the minimum input voltage is (VO + 2.5 V). See the Application Information section for further guidance.
For output voltages less than 3.6 V, the maximum input voltage is 10 × VO . See the Application Information section for further guidance.
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 with 100 ppm/°C or better temperature stability.
This control pin has an internal pullup, and if left open-circuit, the module operates when input power is applied. The open-circuit voltage
is typically 1.5 V. A small, low-leakage (< 100 nA) MOSFET is recommended for control. See the Application Information section for
further guidance.
An external 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor is required across the input (VI and GND) for proper operation. Locate the capacitor close to the
module.
330 µF of output capacitance is required for proper operation. See the Application Information section 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.

DESCRIPTION
This is the common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the 0-Vdc reference
for the Inhibit and VO Adjust control inputs.
I
The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND.
I
The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain active-low 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.
VO Adjust
4
I
A 1% resistor must be connected between this pin and GND (pin 7) to set the output voltage of the
module. If left open-circuit, the output voltage is set to its default value. The temperature stability of the
resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or better). The standard resistor value for a number of common output
voltages is provided in the application information.
VO Sense
5
I
The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the
load. For optimum voltage accuracy, VO Sense should be connected to VO. If the sense feature is not
used, this pin may be left disconnected.
VO
6
O
The regulated positive power output with respect to the GND node.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTN78020x Series of Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
General
A resistor must be connected between the VO Adjust control (pin 4) and GND (pin 1) to set the output voltage.
The adjustment range is from 2.5 V to 12.6 V for PTN78020W. The adjustment range is from 11.85 V to 22 V for
PTN78020H. If pin 4 is left open, the output voltage defaults to the lowest value.
Table 2 gives the preferred value of the external resistor for a number of standard voltages, with the actual
output voltage that the value provides. For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be
calculated using Equation 1 and the constants for the applicable product in Table 1. Figure 24 shows the
placement of the required resistor.

Input Voltage Considerations
The PTN78020 is a step-down switching regulator. In order that the output remains in regulation, the input
voltage must exceed the output by a minimum 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 input and output voltage magnitudes.
As an example, for satisfactory performance, the operating input voltage range of the PTN78020x must adhere to
the following requirements.
1. For PTN78020W output voltages lower than 10 V, the minimum input voltage is (VO + 2 V ) or 7 V, whichever
is higher.
2. For PTN78020W output voltages equal to 10 V and higher, the minimum input voltage is (VO + 2.5 V ) .
3. For PTN78020W, the maximum input voltage is (10 × VO ) or 36 V, whichever is less.
4. For PTN78020H output voltages lower than 19 V, the minimum input voltage is (VO + 3 V ) or 15 V,
whichever is higher.
5. For PTN78020H output voltages equal to 19 V and higher, the minimum input voltage is (VO + 4 V ) .
Table 2 gives the operating input voltage range for the common output bus voltages. In addition, the Electrical
Characteristics table defines the available output voltage adjust range for various input voltages.

SLTS228A – DECEMBER 2004 – REVISED APRIL 2005
CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS for the PTN78020 WIDE-OUTPUT
ADJUST POWER MODULES
PTN78020W Input Capacitor
The minimum requirement for the input capacitance is a 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor for PTN78020W, in either a
X5R or X7R temperature characteristic. Ceramic capacitors should be located within 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) of the
regulator's input pins. Electrolytic capacitors can be used at the input, but only in addition to the required ceramic
capacitance. The minimum ripple current rating for any nonceramic capacitance must be at least 500 mA rms for
VO ≤ 5.5. For VO > 5.5 V, the minimum ripple current rating is 750 mA rms. 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 2.2 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.
PTN78020H Input Capacitor
The minimum requirement for PTN78020H the input capacitance is 18.8 µF (4x 4.7-µF) or equivalent . Ceramic
capacitors should be located within 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) of the regulator's input pins. Electrolytic capacitors can be
used at the input, but only in addition to the required ceramic capacitance. The minimum ripple current rating for
any nonceramic capacitance must be at least 500 mA rms for VO ≤ 5.5. For VO > 5.5 V, the minimum ripple
current rating is 750 mA rms. The ripple current rating of electrolytic capacitors is a major consideration when
they are used at the input.
Tantalum capacitors are not recommended for use at the input bus, as none 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.
PTN78020W/PTN78020H Output Capacitor
The minimum capacitance required to ensure stability is a 330 µF. 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 are 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 capacitors
and vendors are identified in Table 5 and Table 6, the recommended capacitor tables.
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 300 µF. Also, to prevent the formation of local resonances, do not place more than three
identical ceramic capacitors with values of 10 µF or greater in parallel.

SLTS228A – DECEMBER 2004 – REVISED APRIL 2005
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 tables, Table 5 and Table 6, identifies the characteristics of capacitors from a number of 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.
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.

Power-Up Characteristics
When configured per the standard application, the PTN78020 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 26 shows the power-up
waveforms for a PTN78020W, operating from a 12-V input and with the output voltage adjusted to 5 V. The
waveforms were measured with a 1.5-A resistive load.

Figure 26. 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 is to prevent 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.

Output On/Off Inhibit
For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTN78020 power module incorporates an output
on/off Inhibit control (pin 3). The inhibit feature can be used wherever there is a requirement for the output
voltage from the regulator to be turned off.
The power module functions 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 27 shows the the circuit used to
demonstrate the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the
Inhibit control pin and turns the module off. The output voltage decays as the load circuit discharges the
capacitance. The current drawn at the input is reduced to typically 17 mA. If Q1 is then turned off, the module
executes a soft-start power up. A regulated output voltage is produced within 20 ms. Figure 28 shows the typical
rise in the output voltage, following the turn off of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the fall in the waveform,
Q1 Vgs. The waveforms were measured with a 1.5-A resistive load.

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 C4
shown in Figure 29. 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: C3 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 30% to 50%.

Figure 29. 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 part number 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 30 and Figure 31). In order for
the inductor to be effective in reduction of ripple and noise, ceramic capacitors are required. (Note: see Capacitor
Recommendations for the PTN78020W for addtional 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 efffective. 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, but in this application, it is effective to 6 A on the output bus. 1-µH to
5-µH inductors can be used in place of the ferrite inductor bead.
