Ordering Information
The PT4850 Excalibur™ power
modules are a series of isolated tripleoutput DC/DC converters that
operate from a standard (–48V)
central office supply. These modules
are rated for a combined output of
up to 25A, and were designed for
powering mixed logic applications.
The triple-output voltage provides
a compact multiple-output power
supply in a single DC/DC module.
Output voltage options include
a low-voltage output for a DSP or
ASIC core, and two additional supply
voltages for the I/O, and other functions.
The PT4850 series incorporates
many features to simplify system
integration. These include a flexible
On/Off enable control, input undervoltage lockout and over-temperature
protection. All outputs are current
limited and short-circuit protected,
and are internally sequenced to meet
the power-up and power-down requirements of popular DSP ICs.
The PT4850 series is housed in
a space-saving solderable case. The
module requires no external heat
sink. Both vertical and horizontal
pin configurations are available, including surface mount.

Notes:
Logic 1 =Open circuit
Logic 0 = –Vin (pin 2) potential
For positive Enable function, connect pin 3
to pin 2 and use pin 4.
For negative Enable function, leave pin 4
open and use pin 3.
Note: Shaded functions indicate those pins that are at primary-side potential.
Pin Descriptions
+Vin: The positive input supply for the module with
respect to –Vin. When powering the module from a
–48V telecom central office supply, this input is
connected to the primary system ground.
–Vin: The negative input supply for the module, and
the 0VDC reference for the EN 1, and EN 2 inputs.
When powering the module from a +48V supply,
this input is connected to the 48V(Return).
EN 1: The negative logic input that activates the
module output. This pin must be connected to –Vin
to enable the module’s outputs. A high impedance
disables the module’s outputs.
EN 2: The positive logic input that activates the
module output. If not used, this pin should be left
open circuit. Connecting this input to –Vin disables
the module’s outputs.
TEMP: This pin produces an output signal that tracks
a temperature that is approximately the module’s
metal case. The output voltage is referenced to –Vin
and rises approximately 10mV/°C from an intital
value of 0.1VDC at –40°C. The signal is available
whenever the module is supplied with a valid input
voltage, and is independant of the enable logic status.
(Note: A load impedance of less than 1MΩ will adversly
affect the module’s over-temperature shutdown threshold.
Use a high-impedance input when monitoring this signal.)
Vo 1: The highest regulated output voltage, which is
referenced to the COM node.
Vo 2: The regulated output that is designed to power
logic circuitry. It is referenced to the COM node.
Vo 3: The low-voltage regulated output that provides
power for a µ-processor or DSP core, and is referenced to the COM node.
COM: The secondary return reference for the module’s
three regulated output voltages. It is DC isolated from
the input supply pins.
Vo(n) Adjust: Using a single resistor, this pin allows the
associated output Vo(n) to be adjusted higher or lower
than the preset value. If not used, this pin should be
left open circuit.
Vo(n) Rem Sense: An external remote sense input is
provided for the two lowest voltage outputs, +Vo2
and +Vo3. Connecting the remote sense pins improves the load regulation of the applicable output
by allowing the regulation circuit to compensate for
voltage drop between the converter and load. If
desired these inputs may be left disconnected.

Notes: (1) Limits are specified by design.
(2) This is a fixed parameter. Adjusting Vo1 or Vo2 higher will increase the module’s sensitivity to over-voltage detection. For more information, see the
application note on output voltage adjustment.
(3) The Enable inputs (pins 3 & 4) have internal pull-ups. Leaving pin 4 open-circuit and connecting pin 3 to –V in (pin 2) allows the the converter to
operate when input power is applied. The maximum open-circuit voltage for the Enable inputs is 5.4V.
(4) Voltage output at “TEMP” pin is defined by the equation:- VTEMP = 0.5 + 0.01·T, where T is in °C. See pin descriptions for more information.

PT4850 Series
Operating Features of the PT4850 Triple-Output
DC/DC Converters
Over-Current Protection
Primary-Secondary Isolation
The PT4850 series of DC/DC converters provide three
independently regulated logic output voltages, Vo1, Vo2,
and Vo3. Each output is current limited to protect against
load faults. The module will not be damaged by a continuous load fault applied to any output. Current will
continue to flow into the fault but is reduced as the voltage across the fault decreases towards zero.
The PT4850 series of DC/DC converters incorporate
electrical isolation between the input terminals (primary)
and the output terminals (secondary). All converters are
production tested to a withstand voltage of 1500VDC.
The isolation complies with UL60950 and EN60950,
and the requirements for operational isolation. This
allows the converter to be configured for either a positive
or negative input voltage source.
Applying a load fault above the current limit threshold
to any output causes the affected output to significantly
drop. Also load faults applied to Vo1 will affect Vo2 and
Vo3, once Vo 1 drops to within 0.2V of either of these
voltages. However, load faults applied to Vo2 or Vo3 will
not affect the other outputs.
Over-Temperature Protection
The PT4850 DC/DC converter series have an internal
temperature sensor, which monitors the temperature of
the module’s metal case. If the case temperature exceeds
the specified limit the converter will shut down. The
converter will automatically restart when the sensed
temperature returns to within the normal operating
range. The analog voltage generated by the sensor is
also made available at the ‘TEMP’ output (pin 5), and
can be monitored by the host system for diagnostic purposes. Consult the ‘Pin Descriptions’ section of the data
sheet for more information on this feature.
The regulation control circuitry for these modules is
located on the secondary (output) side of the isolation
barrier. Control signals are passed between the primary
and secondary sides of the converter via a proprietory
magnetic coupling scheme. This eliminates the use of
opto-couplers. The data sheet ‘Pin Descriptions’ and
‘Pin-Out Information’ provides guidance as to which
reference (primary or secondary) that must be used for
each of the external control signals.
Fuse Recommendations
If desired an input fuse may be added to protect against
the application of a reverse input voltage.
Under-Voltage Lock-Out
The Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) circuit prevents
operation of the converter whenever the input voltage to
the module is insufficient to maintain output regulation.
The UVLO has approximately 2V of hysterisis. This is
to prevent oscillation with a slowly changing input voltage.
Below the UVLO threshold the module is off and the
enable control inputs, EN1 and EN2 are inoperative.

PT4850 Series
Using the On/Off Enable Controls on the PT4850
Series of Triple Output DC/DC Converters
The PT4850 (48V input) series of 25-A, triple-output
DC/DC converters incorporate two output enable controls.
EN1 (pin 3) is the Negative Enable input, and EN2 (pin 4)
is the Positive Enable input. Both inputs are electrically
referenced to -Vin (pin 2) on the primary or input side of
the converter. A pull-up resistor is not required, but may
be added if desired. Voltages of up to 70V can be safely
applied to the either of the Enable pins.
pin 3 in order to enable the outputs of the converter.
An example of this configuration is detailed in Figure 2.
Note: The converter will only produce and output voltage if a
valid input voltage is applied to ±Vin.

Automatic (UVLO) Power-Up
Connecting EN1 (pin 3) to -Vin (pin 2) and leaving EN2
(pin 4) open-circuit configures the converter for automatic power up. (See data sheet “Typical Application”).
The converter control circuitry incorporates an “Under
Voltage Lockout” (UVLO) function, which disables the
converter until the minimum specified input voltage is
present at ±Vin. (See data sheet Specifications). The UVLO
circuitry ensures a clean transition during power-up and
power-down, allowing the converter to tolerate a slowrising input voltage. For most applications EN1 and
EN2, can be configured for automatic power-up.
Positive Output Enable (Negative Inhibit)
To configure the converter for a positive enable function, connect EN1 (pin 3) to -Vin (pin 2), and apply the
system On/Off control signal to EN2 (pin 4). In this
configuration, a low-level input voltage (-Vin potential)
applied to pin 4 disables the converter outputs. Figure 1
is an example of this configuration.
1 =Outputs On
–VIN
2
–Vin
On/Off Output Voltage Sequencing
The power-up characteristic of the PT4850 series of
DC/DC converters meets the requirements of microprocessor and DSP chipsets. All three outputs from the
converter are internally sequenced to power up in
unison. Figure 3 shows the waveforms from a PT4851
after power is applied to the input of the converter.
During power-up, all three output voltages rise together
until each reaches their respective output voltage. The
waveforms of Figure 3 were measured with loads of approximately 50% on each output, with an input source of
48VDC. The converter typically produces a fully regulated output within 150ms.

Negative Output Enable (Positive Inhibit)
To configure the converter for a negative enable function,
EN2 (pin 4) is left open circuit, and the system On/Off
control signal is applied to EN1 (pin 3). A low-level
input voltage (-Vin potential) must then be applied to
During turn-off, all outputs drop rapidly due to the
discharging effect of actively switched rectifiers. The
voltage at Vo 2 remains higher than Vo3 during this
period. The discharge time is typically 100µs, but will
vary with the amount of external load capacitance.

Adjusting the Output Voltages of the PT4850
Triple-Output DC/DC Converters
The output voltages of the PT4850 series of triple-output
DC/DC converters, Vo1, Vo2 and Vo3, are independently
adjustable. The adjustment method uses a single external
resistor, 1 which may be used to adjust a selected output
by up to ±10% from the factory preset value. The value
of the resistor determines the magnitude of adjustment,
and the placement of the resistor determines the direction
of adjustment (up or down). The resistor values can be
calculated using the appropriate formula (see below),
using the constants provided in Table 3-2. Alternatively
the resistor value may be selected directly from Table 3-3
and Table 3-4, for Vo1 and Vo2/Vo3 respectively. The
placement of each resistor is as follows.

Calculation of Adjust Values
Adjust Up: To increase a specific output, add a resistor R1
between the appropriate Vx Adj (V1 Adj, V2 Adj, or V3 Adj)
and the output common (COM). See Figure 3-1(a)
and Table 3-1 for the resistor placement and pin connections.
The adjust resistor value may also be calculated using an
equation. In each case, the equation for R1 [Adjust Up] is
different to that for (R2) [Adjust Down]. For the PT4850
series, the following points should be noted.
• Vo1 uses different equations to Vo2 and Vo3. The
equations are defined for the desired output voltage.

PT4850 Series
Notes:
1. Use only a single 1% (or better) tolerance resistor in
either the R1 or (R2) location to adjust a specific output.
Place the resistor as close to the ISR as possible.
2. Never connect capacitors to any of the ‘Vox Adj’ pins. Any
capacitance added to these control pins will affect the
stability of the respective regulated output.
3. Adjustments made to any output must also comply with
the following limitations.
