Ordering Information
The PT4840 Excalibur™ power
modules are a series of isolated tripleoutput DC/DC converters that
operate from a standard (–48V) central
office supply. Rated for up to 65W,
these regulators are appropriate for
powering both analog and mixedsignal circuitry. A typical application
is a chip-set for an ADSL/DSL line
card.
The output voltage combinations
offered by the PT4840 series provide
power for a low-voltage processor
core, the associated digital circuitry,
and analog support circuitry.
The PT4840 series incorporates
many features to simplify system
integration. These include a flexible
On/Off control, over-temperature
protection, and an input undervoltage lock-out. All outputs are
current limited and short-circuit
protected. In addition, the lowvoltage outputs for processor core
and digital circuitry meet the powerup and power-down sequencing
requirements of popular DSP ICs.
The PT4840 series is housed in
a space-saving solderable case. The
module requires no external heat sink
and can occupy as little as 1.97 in2 of
PCB area.

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, EN 2, and TEMP
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 is referenced to –Vin. A
low-level voltage at this pin enables the module’s
outputs, and a high impedance impedance disables
the module’s outputs. If not used, the pin must be
connected to –Vin.
EN 2: The positive logic input that activates the
module output. This pin is referenced to –Vin. A
high impedance at this pin enables the module’s
outputs. If not used, the pin should be left open
circuit.
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. The output may be
used to power analog support circuitry.
Vo 2: The regulated output that is designed to power
logic or I/O circuitry. It is referenced to the COM
node.
Vo 3: The low-voltage regulated output that provides
power for a micro, processor, ASIC, 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.
Vo2 Adjust: Using a single resistor, this pin allows Vo2
to be adjusted higher or lower than the preset value.
If not used, this pin should be left open circuit.
Vo3 Adjust: Using a single resistor, this pin allows Vo3
to be adjusted higher or lower than the preset value.
If not used, this pin should be left open circuit.

The sum total power delivered from all three regulated outputs, Vo1, Vo2, and Vo3, cannot exceed 65 watts.
The sum-total current from outputs Vo2, and Vo3 cannot exceed 11ADC.
Limits are guaranteed by design.
The ripple and noise is measured with a 10µF tantalum capacitor across each output.
After latched shutdown, the module may be reset cycling the input power.
The Enable inputs (pins 3 & 4) have internal pull-ups. Leaving pin 4 open-circuit and connecting pin 3 to –V in allows the the converter to operate when
input power is applied. The maximum open-circuit voltage is 5.1V.
(7) Ultra-low ESR capacitors, such as organic or polymer aluminum electrolytic types, may cause instability. For more information refer to the application
note regarding capacitor selection.
(8) Voltage output at “TEMP” pin is defined by the equation:- VTEMP = 0.5 + 0.01·T, where T is the sensed temperature in degrees centigrade. See pin
descriptions for more information.

Application Notes
PT4840 Series
Operating Features of the PT4840 Triple-Output
DC/DC Converters
Over-Current Protection
Primary-Secondary Isolation
The current limit function of the PT4840 series of
triple-output DC/DC converters is divided into two
zones. These are the high-voltage output Vo1, and the
two low-voltage outputs (combined) Vo2/Vo3.
The PT4840 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.
A load fault applied to Vo1 will cause this output voltage
to drop. A drop in Vo1 (to less than 10V) will also cause
outputs Vo2 and Vo3 to simultaneously turn off. Load
faults applied to either Vo2 or Vo3 will cause both these
outputs to drop, but in this case Vo1 will be unaffected.
Each protection zone incorporates a latch-off time-out
period of approximately 200ms. A transient or momentary
fault lasting less than this period will allow the prompt
recovery of all affected outputs. Faults applied for longer
than this period will cause the affected zone to latch off.
Faults applied to Vo2 or Vo3 results in the latch off of both
these outputs; Vo1 being unaffected, whereas the latch
off of Vo 1 will shut down all three outputs. Recovery
from a latched shutdown condition requires the removal
and corresponding re-application of input power to the
converter.
Over-Temperature Protection
The PT4840 DC/DC converter series have an internal
temperature sensor, which monitors the temperature of
the module’s metal case. If the case temperature exceeds
a nominal 110°C the converter will shut down. The
converter will automatically restart when the sensed
temperature returns to about 100°C. 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.
Input Current Limiting
The converter is not internally fused. For safety and
overall system protection, the maximum input current to
the converter must be limited. Active or passive current
limiting can be used. Passive current limiting can be a
fast acting fuse. A 125-V fuse, rated no more than 10A,
is recommended. Active current limiting can be implemented with a current limited “Hot-Swap” controller.
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.

PT4840 Series
Using the On/Off Enable Controls on the PT4840
Series of Triple Output DC/DC Converters
The PT4840 (48V input) series of 65-W, 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.

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.

On/Off Output Voltage Sequencing
The Vo2 and Vo3 low-voltage outputs from the PT4840
series of DC/DC converters are internally sequenced to
meet the power-up requirements of popular microprocessor and DSP chipsets. Figure 3 shows the waveforms
from a PT4841 after power is applied to the input of the
converter. During power-up, the Vo1 reaches its output
regulation voltage first, followed the Vo2 and Vo3 voltages.
The Vo2 and Vo3 voltage waveforms typically track within
0.4V prior to Vo2 reaching regulation. The waveforms
were measured with resistive loads of 2A, 3A, and 3A, at
Vo1, Vo2, and Vo3 respectively. The input source voltage was 48-VDC. The converter typically produces a
fully regulated output within 25ms.

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

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.

PT4840 Series
Optional Output Capacitors; Vo1 (Table 1)
PT4840 Input/ Output Filter Capacitance Selection
for Excalibur™ Triple-Ouput DC/DC Converters
The ESR of the 330µF output capacitor for Vo1 (+15V)
must be ≥40mΩ. Electrolytic capacitors have minimal
effect on ripple at frequencies greater than 200kHz but
excellent low-frequency transient response. At the ripple
frequency, ceramic decoupling capacitors improve the response to fast transients and reduce any high-frequency
noise components during higher current excursions.
General Requirements
The capacitors on the input bus are optional but may be
required to insure dynamic response to load transients.
The suggested capacitors on the input bus include
ceramic noise attenuation components. The PT4840
series has an internal 1µH input inductor. This inductor
provides an effective input differential noise filter when
1µF ceramic capacitors are connected across the input
terminals. This low impedance filter has an attenuation
factor of typically 15dB.
The preferred capacitor part numbers are identified in the
Table 1. The table identifies vendors with acceptable
ESR and ripple current (rms) ratings. The suggested
minimum quantities for Vo1 are identified. Tantalum
capacitors, rated 30V or greater with an equivalent ESR
of ≥40mΩ, are also recommended for Vo1.
The output capacitors are all optional and may be used
to optimize dynamic and transient load performance. The
maximum capacitance allowed for each bus is given in the
electrical specification table on p.3.
Optional Output Capacitors; Vo2 & Vo3 (Table 2)
The combined ESR of the output capacitors selected for
Vo2 and Vo3 (lower bus voltages) must be ≥10mΩ. Low
ESR electrolytic capacitors have minimal effect on ripple
at frequencies greater than 200kHz but excellent lowfrequency transient response. Above the ripple frequency,
ceramic decoupling capacitors improve the response to
fast transients and reduce any high-frequency noise
components during higher current excursions. The
preferred lower ESR type capacitor part numbers for
Vo2 and Vo3 are identified in Table 2. The table identifies
vendors with acceptable ESR and ripple current (rms)
ratings. The tantalum and Oscon® type capacitors have
both low ESR and stable characteristics. These are
recommended for Vo2 and Vo3 in applications where the
temperature range extends below 0°C.
Input Capacitors
The input capacitors are all optional. The 33µF/100V
electrolytic capacitor should have a minimum ripple
current 400mA. Ripple current and <350mΩ equivalent
series resistance (ESR) are the major considerations along
with temperature when selecting electrolytic capacitors.
The ceramic capacitors, each 1µF (3×0.33µF), X7R type,
have a wide temperature range and are suggested for
noise reduction. The module’s internal inductor and the
external ceramic capacitors form an excellent differential
noise filter. Additional filter components, L1 and L2 ,
will reject common-mode input noise (See Figure 1). A
common-mode choke can also be used to reduce commonmode noise levels. These optional filter components may
be required to meet FCC Class A limits for conducted
emissions.
Capacitors from other vendors may also be suitable. The specifications in both tables provide guidance for the selection of
alternative parts. The ripple current (rms) rating and ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance at 100kHz) are the critical
parameters necessary to insure both optimum regulator and
long term capacitor life cycles.

PT4840 Series
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT4840
Dual Output Voltage DC/DC Converters
The Vo2 and Vo3 output voltages from the PT4840 series of DC/DC converters can be independantly adjusted
by up to ±10% from their factory pre-set voltage. The
method of adjustment uses a single external resistor. 1
The value of the resistor determines the magnitude of
adustment, and the placement of the resistor determines
the direction of adjustment (up or down). The resistor
value can be calculated directly from a simple formula.
The constants are given in Table 1. Alternatively, Table 2
provides the resistor values for a select number of output
voltages. The placement of each resistor is as follows.
Notes:
1. Use only a single 1% resistor in either the R1 or (R2)
location to adjust Vo2, and in the R3 or (R4) location to
adjust Vo3. Place the resistor as close to the ISR as
possible.
2. Never connect capacitors to either the Vo2 Adjust or
Vo3 Adjust pins. Any capacitance added to these control
pins will affect the stability of the respective regulated
output.
The adjust resistor values may be calculated. Use the
applicable formula and select the appropriate constants
from Table 1 for the output and model being adjusted.
Vo2 Adjust Up: To increase the output, add a resistor R1
between pin 17 (Vo2 Adjust) and pin 18 (COM).
Vo2 Adjust Down: Add a resistor (R2), between pin 17
(Vo2 Adjust) and pin 16 (+Vo1).
