This module is an addition to the 2nd generation of the popular PTH series power modules which include a reduced footprint and additional features. Operating from an input voltage range of 2.2 V to 5.5 V, the PTH04T240F requires a single resistor to set the output voltage to any value over the range, 0.69 V to 2.0 V. The output voltage range makes the PTH04T240F particularly suitable for the 3-GHz DSP's core voltage requirements. The module incorporates a comprehensive list of features. Output over-current and over-temperature shutdown protects against most load faults. A differential remote sense ensures tight load regulation. An adjustable under-voltage lockout allows the turn-on voltage threshold to be customized. Auto-Track™sequencing is a popular feature that greatly simplifies the simultaneous power-up and power-down of multiple modules in a power system. The PTH04T240F includes new patent pending technologies, TurboTrans™ and SmartSync. The TurboTrans feature optimizes the transient response of the regulator while simultaneously reducing the quantity of external output capacitors required to meet a target voltage deviation specification. TurboTrans allows the PTH04T240F to meet the tight transient voltage tolerances required by 3-GHz DSPs with minimal output capacitance. SmartSync allows for switching frequency synchronization of multiple modules, thus simplifying EMI noise suppression tasks and reducing input capacitor RMS current requirements. The module uses double-sided surface mount construction to provide a low profile and compact footprint. Package options include both through-hole and surface mount configurations that are lead (Pb) - free and RoHS compatible. 1 2 Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

DESCRIPTION VI 2 The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND. VO 5 The regulated positive power output with respect to GND. GND 3, 4 Inhibit (1) and UVLO Vo Adjust 11 This is the common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the 0 Vdc reference for the control inputs. The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain, negative logic 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. This pin is also used for input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) programming. Connecting a resistor from this pin to GND (pin 3) allows the ON threshold of the UVLO to be adjusted higher than the default value. For more information, see the Application Information section. 8 A 0.05 W 1% resistor must be connected between this pin and pin7 (–Sense), close to the module to set the output voltage to a value higher than 0.69V. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or better). The setpoint range for the output voltage is from 0.69V to 2.0V. If left open circuit, the output voltage will default to its lowest value. For further information, on output voltage adjustment see the related application note. The specification table gives the preferred resistor values for a number of standard output voltages. + Sense 6 The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the load. For optimal voltage accuracy, +Sense must be connected to VO, very close to the load. – Sense 7 The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the load. For optimal voltage accuracy –Sense must be connected to GND (pin4) very close to the module (within 10cm). 10 This is an analog control input that enables the output voltage to follow an external voltage. This pin becomes active typically 20 ms after the input voltage has been applied, and allows direct control of the output voltage from 0 V up to the nominal set-point voltage. Within this range the module's output voltage follows the voltage at the Track pin on a volt-for-volt basis. When the control voltage is raised above this range, the module regulates at its set-point voltage. The feature allows the output voltage to rise simultaneously with other modules powered from the same input bus. If unused, this input should be connected to VI. Track NOTE: Due to the undervoltage lockout feature, the output of the module cannot follow its own input voltage during power up. For more information, see the related application note. TurboTrans™ 9 This input pin adjusts the transient response of the regulator. To set the TurboTrans™ feature, a 1%, 50mW resistor must be connected between this pin and pin 6 (+Sense) very close to the module. For a given value of output capacitance, a reduction in peak output voltage deviation is achieved by utililizing this feature. The resistance requirement can be selected from the TurboTrans™ resistor table in the Application Information section. SmartSync 1 This input pin sychronizes the switching frequency of the module to an external clock frequency. The SmartSync feature can be used to sychronize the switching fequency of multiple modules, aiding EMI noise suppression efforts. If unused, this pin should be connected to GND (pin3).

The adjustment range is between 0.69 V and 2.0 V. The adjustment method requires the addition of a single external resistor, RSET, that must be connected directly between the VOAdjust and – Sense pins. Table 1 gives the standard value of the external resistor for a number of standard voltages, along with the actual output voltage that this resistance value provides. For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be calculated using the following formula, or simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2.

SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PTH04T240/241W POWER MODULE Capacitor Technologies Electrolytic Capacitors When using electrolytic capacitors, high quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide adequate decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to 150 kHz, and are suitable when ambient temperatures are above -20°C. For operation below -20°C, tantalum, ceramic, or OS-CON type capacitors are required. Ceramic Capacitors Above 150 kHz the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective. Multilayer ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the regulator. They can be used to reduce the reflected ripple current at the input as well as improve the transient response of the output. Tantalum, Polymer-Tantalum Capacitors Tantalum type capacitors may only used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where the ambient operating temperature is less than 0°C. The AVX TPS series and Kemet capacitor series are suggested over many other tantalum types due to their lower ESR, higher rated surge, power dissipation, and ripple current capability. Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or surge current rating are not recommended for power applications. Input Capacitor (Required) The PTH04T240F requires a minimum input capacitance of 220µF. The ripple current rating of the input capacitor must be at least 500mArms. An additional 22-µF, X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended to reduce the RMS ripple current. Input Capacitor Information The size and value of the input capacitor is determined by the converter transient performance capability. This minimum value assumes that the converter is supplied with a responsive, low inductance input source. This source should have ample capacitive decoupling, and be distributed to the converter via PCB power and ground planes. Ceramic capacitors should be located as close as possible to the module's input pins, within 0.5 inch (1,3 cm). Adding ceramic capacitance is necessary to reduce the high-frequency ripple voltage at the module input. This reduces the magnitude of the ripple current through the electroytic capacitor, as well as the amount of ripple current reflected back to the input source. Additional ceramic capacitors can be added to further reduce the RMS ripple current requirement for the electrolytic capacitor. Increasing the minimum input capacitance to 680µF is recommended for high-performance applications, or wherever the input source performance is degraded. The main considerations when selecting input capacitors are the RMS ripple current rating, temperature stability, and less than 100 mΩ of equivalent series resistance (ESR). Regular tantalum capacitors are not recommended for the input bus. These capacitors require a recommended minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability. No tantalum capacitors were found with a sufficient voltage rating to meet this requirement. When the operating temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these applications, OS-CON, poly-aluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered.

The required capacitance above the minimum will be determined by actual transient deviation requirements. See the TurboTrans Technology Application section within this document for specific capacitance selection. Output Capacitor Information When selecting output capacitors, the main considerations are capacitor type, temperature stability, and ESR. When using the TurboTrans feature, the capacitance x ESR product should also be considered (see the following section). Ceramic output capacitors added for high-frequency bypassing should be located as close as possible to the load to be effective. Ceramic capacitor values below 10µF should not be included when calculating the total output capacitance value. When the operating temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these applications, OS-CON, poly-aluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered. TurboTrans Output Capacitance TurboTrans allows the designer to optimize the output capacitance according to the system transient design requirement. High quality, ultra-low ESR capacitors are required to maximize TurboTrans effectiveness. When using TurboTrans, the capacitor's capacitance (µF) × ESR (mΩ) product determines its capacitor type; Type B, or Type C. These two types are defined as follows: • Type B = (1000 < capacitance × ESR ≤ 5000) (e.g. polymer-tantalum) • Type C = (5000 < capacitance × ESR ≤ 10,000) (e.g. OS-CON) When using more than one type of output capacitor, select the capacitor type that makes up the majority of your total output capacitance. When calculating the C×ESR product, use the maximum ESR value from the capacitor manufacturer's datasheet. Working Examples: A capacitor with a capacitance of 330µF and an ESR of 5mΩ, has a C×ESR product of 1650µFxmΩ (330µF × 5mΩ). This is a Type B capacitor. A capacitor with a capacitance of 1000µF and an ESR of 8mΩ, has a C×ESR product of 8000µFxmΩ (1000µF × 8mΩ). This is a Type C capacitor. See the TurboTrans Technology application section within this document for specific capacitance selection. Table 3 includes a preferred list of capacitors by type and vendor. See the Output Bus / TurboTrans column. Designing for Fast Load Transients The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of 2.5A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the Electrical Characteristics table using the minimum 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 with 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 low ESR ceramic capacitor decoupling. Generally, with load steps greater than 100A/µs, adding multiple 10µF ceramic capacitors plus 10×1µF, and numerous high frequency ceramics (≤0.1µF) is all that is required to soften the transient higher frequency edges. The PCB location of these capacitors in relation to the load is critical. DSP, FPGA and ASIC vendors identify types, location and amount of capacitance required for optimum performance. Low impedance buses, unbroken PCB copper planes, and components located as close as possible to the high-frequency devices are essential for optimizing transient performance. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): PTH04T240F PTH04T240F www.ti.com ...............................................................................................................................................

SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 TurboTrans™ Technology TurboTrans technology is a feature introduced in the T2 generation of the PTH/PTV family of power modules. TurboTrans optimizes the transient response of the regulator with added external capacitance using a single external resistor. Benefits of this technology include reduced output capacitance, minimized output voltage deviation following a load transient, and enhanced stability when using ultra-low ESR output capacitors. The amount of output capacitance required to meet a target output voltage deviation is reduced with TurboTrans activated. Likewise, for a given amount of output capacitance, with TurboTrans engaged, the amplitude of the voltage deviation following a load transient will be reduced. Applications requiring tight transient voltage tolerances and minimized capacitor footprint area will benefit greatly from this technology. TurboTrans™ Selection Utilizing TurboTrans requires connecting a resistor, RTT, between the +Sense pin (pin6) and the TurboTrans pin (pin9). The value of the resistor directly corresponds to the amount of output capacitance required. All T2 products require a minimum value of output capacitance. For the PTH04T240F, the minimum required capacitance is 1000µF. When using TurboTrans, capacitors with a capacitance × ESR product below 10,000 µF × mΩ are required. (Multiply the capacitance (in µF) by the ESR (in mΩ) to determine the capacitance × ESR product.) See the Capacitor Selection section of the datasheet for a variety of capacitors that meet this criteria. Figure 10 thru Figure 13 show the amount of output capacitance required to meet a desired transient voltage deviation with and without TurboTrans for two capacitor types; TypeB (e.g. polymer-tantalum) and TypeC (e.g. OS-CON). To calculate the proper value of RTT, first determine the required transient voltage deviation limits and magnitude of the transient load step. Next, determine what type of output capacitors will be used. (If more than one type of output capacitor is used, select the capacitor type that makes up the majority of your total output capacitance.) Knowing this information, use the chart in Figure 10 through Figure 13 that corresponds to the capacitor type selected. To use the chart, begin by dividing the maximum voltage deviation limit (in mV) by the magnitude of your load step (in amperes). This gives a mV/A value. Find this value on the Y-axis of the appropriate chart. Read across the graph to the 'With TurboTrans' plot. From this point, read down to the X-axis which lists the minimum required capacitance, CO, to meet that transient voltage deviation. The required RTT resistor value can then be calculated using the equation or selected from the TurboTrans table. The TurboTrans tables include both the required output capacitance and the corresponding RTT values to meet several values of transient voltage deviation for 25%(2.5A), 50%(5A), and 75%(7.5A) output load steps. The chart can also be used to determine the achievable transient voltage deviation for a given amount of output capacitance. By selecting the amount of output capacitance along the X-axis, reading up to the desired 'With TurboTrans'' curve, and then over to the Y-axis, gives the transient voltage deviation limit for that value of output capacitance. The required RTT resistor value can be calculated using the equation or selected from the TurboTrans table. As an example, consider a 5-V application requiring a 15 mV deviation during an 3A load transient. A majority of 330µF, 10 mΩ ouput capacitors will be used. Use the 5-V, Type B capacitor chart, Figure 10. Dividing 15mV by 3A gives 5mV/A transient voltage deviation per ampere of transient load step. Select 5mV/A on the Y-axis and read across to the 'With TurboTrans'' plot. Following this point down to the X-axis gives a minimum required output capacitance of approximately 1900µF. The required RTT resistor value for 1900µF can then be calculated or selected from Table 4. The required RTT resistor is approximately 27.4kΩ.

SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO) The PTH04T240F power modules incorporate an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The UVLO feature prevents the operation of the module until there is sufficient input voltage to produce a valid output voltage. This enables the module to provide a clean, monotonic powerup for the load circuit, and also limits the magnitude of current drawn from the regulator input source during the power-up sequence. The UVLO characteristic is defined by the ON threshold (VTHD) voltage. Below the ON threshold, the Inhibit control is overridden, and the module does not produce an output. The hysteresis voltage, which is the difference between the ON and OFF threshold voltages, is set at 500 mV. The hysteresis prevents start-up oscillations, which can occur if the input voltage droops slightly when the module begins drawing current from the input source. The UVLO feature of the PTH04T240F module allows for limited adjustment of the ON threshold voltage. The adjustment is made via the Inhbit/UVLO Prog control pin (pin 11) using a single resistor (see Figure 16). When pin 11 is left open circuit, the ON threshold voltage is internally set to the 1.95-V default value. The ON threshold might need to be raised if the module is powered from a tightly regulated 5-V bus. Adjusting the threshold prevents the module from operating if the input bus fails to completely rise to its specified regulation voltage. Equation 4 determines the value of RUVLO required to adjust VTHD to a new value. The default value is 1.95 V, and it may be adjusted to a higher value only. 68.54 * V THD R UVLO + kW V THD * 2.07 (4) Table 6 lists the standard resistor values for RUVLO for different values of the on-threshold (VTHD) voltage.

However in a stand-alone configuration, or when the Auto-Track feature is not being used, the Track pin should be directly connected to the input voltage, VI (see Figure 17). When the Track pin is connected to the input voltage the Auto-Track function is permanently disengaged. This allows the module to power up entirely under the control of its internal soft-start circuitry. When power up is under soft-start control, the output voltage rises to the set-point at a quicker and more linear rate. From the moment a valid input voltage is applied, the soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically 5 ms–15 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise. The output then progressively rises to the module’s setpoint voltage. Figure 18 shows the soft-start power-up characteristic of the PTH04T240F operating from a 5-V input bus and configured for a 1.8-V output. The waveforms were measured with a 10-A constant current load and the Auto-Track feature disabled. The initial rise in input current when the input voltage first starts to rise is the charge current drawn by the input capacitors.

SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 On/Off Inhibit For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTH04T240F incorporates an Inhibit control pin. The inhibit feature can be used wherever there is a requirement for the output voltage from the regulator to be turned off. The power modules function 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 19 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit input has its own internal pull-up. An external pull-up resistor should never be used with the inhibit pin. The input is not compatible with TTL logic devices. An open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended for control. Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is then turned off, the module executes a soft-start power-up sequence. A regulated output voltage is produced within 40 ms. Figure 20 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the turn-off of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, VINH. The waveforms were measured with a 10-A constant current load.

Driving the Smart Sync pins with an external oscillator set to the desired frequency, synchronizes all connected modules to the selected frequency. The synchronization frequency can be higher or lower than the nominal switching frequency of the modules within the range of 240 kHz to 400 kHz (see Electrical Specifications table for synchronization limits). Synchronizing modules powered from the same bus, eliminates beat frequencies reflected back to the input supply, and also reduces EMI filtering requirements. Eliminating the low beat frequencies (usually < 10 kHz) allows the EMI filter to be designed to attenuate only the synchronization frequency. Power modules can also be synchronized out of phase to minimize source current loading and minimize input capacitance requirements.

SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 Overcurrent Protection For protection against load faults, all modules incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load that exceeds the regulator's overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, the module periodically attempts to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up. This is described as a hiccup mode of operation, whereby the module continues in a cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault is removed. During this period, the average current flowing into the fault is significantly reduced. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal operation. Overtemperature Protection (OTP) A thermal shutdown mechanism protects the module’s internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures. A rise in the internal temperature may be the result of a drop in airflow, or a high ambient temperature. If the internal temperature exceeds the OTP threshold, the module’s Inhibit control is internally pulled low. This turns the output off. The output voltage drops as the external output capacitors are discharged by the load circuit. The recovery is automatic, and begins with a soft-start power up. It occurs when the sensed temperature decreases by about 10°C below the trip point. The overtemperature protection is a last resort mechanism to prevent thermal stress to the regulator. Operation at or close to the thermal shutdown temperature is not recommended and reduces the long-term reliability of the module. Always operate the regulator within the specified safe operating area (SOA) limits for the worst-case conditions of ambient temperature and airflow. Differential Output Voltage Remote Sense Differential remote sense improves the load regulation performance of the module by allowing it to compensate for any IR voltage drop between its output and the load in either the positive or return path. An IR drop is caused by the output current flowing through the small amount of pin and trace resistance. With the sense pins connected, the difference between the voltage measured directly between the VO and GND pins, and that measured at the Sense pins, is the amount of IR drop being compensated by the regulator. This should be limited to a maximum of 0.3V. Connecting the +Sense (pin 6) to the positive load terminal improves the load regulation at the connection point. For optimal behavior the –Sense (pin 7) must be connected to GND (pin 4) close to the module (within 10 cm). If the remote sense feature is not used at the load, connect the +Sense pin to VO (pin5) and connect the –Sense pin to the module GND (pin 4). The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear or frequency dependent components that may be placed in series with the converter output. Examples include OR-ing diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When these components are enclosed by the remote sense connection they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the stability of the regulator.

Auto-Track was designed to simplify the amount of circuitry required to make the output voltage from each module power up and power down in sequence. The sequencing of two or more supply voltages during power up is a common requirement for complex mixed-signal applications that use dual-voltage VLSI ICs such as the TMS320™ DSP family, microprocessors, and ASICs. How Auto-Track™ Works Auto-Track works by forcing the module output voltage to follow a voltage presented at the Track control pin (1). This control range is limited to between 0 V and the module set-point voltage. Once the track-pin voltage is raised above the set-point voltage, the module output remains at its set-point (2). As an example, if the Track pin of a 2.5-V regulator is at 1 V, the regulated output is 1 V. If the voltage at the Track pin rises to 3 V, the regulated output does not go higher than 2.5 V. When under Auto-Track control, the regulated output from the module follows the voltage at its Track pin on a volt-for-volt basis. By connecting the Track pin of a number of these modules together, the output voltages follow a common signal during power up and power down. The control signal can be an externally generated master ramp waveform, or the output voltage from another power supply circuit (3). For convenience, the Track input incorporates an internal RC-charge circuit. This operates off the module input voltage to produce a suitable rising waveform at power up. Typical Application The basic implementation of Auto-Track allows for simultaneous voltage sequencing of a number of Auto-Track compliant modules. Connecting the Track inputs of two or more modules forces their track input to follow the same collective RC-ramp waveform, and allows their power-up sequence to be coordinated from a common Track control signal. This can be an open-collector (or open-drain) device, such as a power-up reset voltage supervisor IC. See U3 in Figure 22. To coordinate a power-up sequence, the Track control must first be pulled to ground potential. This should be done at or before input power is applied to the modules. The ground signal should be maintained for at least 20 ms after input power has been applied. This brief period gives the modules time to complete their internal soft-start initialization (4), enabling them to produce an output voltage. A low-cost supply voltage supervisor IC, that includes a built-in time delay, is an ideal component for automatically controlling the Track inputs at power up. Figure 22 shows how a TPS3808 supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequenced power up of 5-V PTH modules. The output of the TPS3808 supervisor becomes active above an input voltage of 0.8 V, enabling it to assert a ground signal to the common track control well before the input voltage has reached the module's undervoltage lockout threshold. The ground signal is maintained until approximately 27ms after the input voltage has risen above U3's voltage threshold, which is 4.65V. The 27-ms time period is controlled by the capacitor C3. The value of 4700pF provides sufficient time delay for the modules to complete their internal soft-start initialization. The output voltage of each module remains at zero until the track control voltage is allowed to rise. When U3 removes the ground signal, the track control voltage automatically rises. This causes the output voltage of each module to rise simultaneously with the other modules, until each reaches its respective set-point voltage. Figure 23 shows the output voltage waveforms after input voltage is applied to the circuit. The waveforms, VO1 and VO2, represent the output voltages from the two power modules, U1 (3.3 V) and U2 (1.8 V), respectively. VTRK, VO1, and VO2 are shown rising together to produce the desired simultaneous power-up characteristic. The same circuit also provides a power-down sequence. When the input voltage falls below U3's voltage threshold, the ground signal is re-applied to the common track control. This pulls the track inputs to zero volts, forcing the output of each module to follow, as shown in Figure 24. Power down is normally complete before the input voltage has fallen below the modules' undervoltage lockout. This is an important constraint. Once the modules recognize that an input voltage is no longer present, their outputs can no longer follow the voltage applied at their track input. During a power-down sequence, the fall in the output voltage from the modules is limited by the Auto-Track slew rate capability. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): PTH04T240F PTH04T240F www.ti.com ............................................................................................................................................... SLTS293A – DECEMBER 2008 – REVISED MARCH 2009 Notes on Use of Auto-Track™ 1. The Track pin voltage must be allowed to rise above the module set-point voltage before the module regulates at its adjusted set-point voltage. 2. The Auto-Track function tracks almost any voltage ramp during power up, and is compatible with ramp speeds of up to 1 V/ms. 3. The absolute maximum voltage that may be applied to the Track pin is the input voltage VI. 4. The module cannot follow a voltage at its track control input until it has completed its soft-start initialization. This takes about 20 ms from the time that a valid voltage has been applied to its input. During this period, it is recommended that the Track pin be held at ground potential. 5. The Auto-Track function is disabled by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage (VI). When Auto-Track is disabled, the output voltage rises according to its softstart rate after input power has been applied. 6. The Auto-Track pin should never be used to regulate the module's output voltage for long-term, steady-state operation.

Simultaneous Power Up With Auto-Track Control Figure 24. Simultaneous Power Down With Auto-Track Control Prebias Startup Capability A prebias startup condition occurs as a result of an external voltage being present at the output of a power module prior to its output becoming active. This often occurs in complex digital systems when current from another power source is backfed through a dual-supply logic component, such as an FPGA or ASIC. Another path might be via clamp diodes as part of a dual-supply power-up sequencing arrangement. A prebias can cause problems with power modules that incorporate synchronous rectifiers. This is because under most operating conditions, these types of modules can sink as well as source output current. The PTH family of power modules incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but does not sink current during startup(1), or whenever the Inhibit pin is held low. However, to ensure satisfactory operation of this function, certain conditions must be maintained(2). Figure 25 shows an application demonstrating the prebias startup capability. The startup waveforms are shown in Figure 26. Note that the output current (IO) is negligible until the output voltage rises above the voltage backfed through the intrinsic diodes. The prebias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track. When the module is under Auto-Track control, it sinks current if the output voltage is below that of a back-feeding source. To ensure a pre-bias hold-off one of two approaches must be followed when input power is applied to the module. The Auto-Track function must either be disabled(3), or the module’s output held off (for at least 50 ms) using the Inhibit pin. Either approach ensures that the Track pin voltage is above the set-point voltage at start up. 1. Startup includes the short delay (approximately 10 ms) prior to the output voltage rising, followed by the rise of the output voltage under the module’s internal soft-start control. Startup is complete when the output voltage has risen to either the set-point voltage or the voltage at the Track pin, whichever is lowest. 2. To ensure that the regulator does not sink current when power is first applied (even with a ground signal applied to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage must always be greater than the output voltage throughout the power-up and power-down sequence. 3. The Auto-Track function can be disabled at power up by immediately applying a voltage to the module’s Track pin that is greater than its set-point voltage. This can be easily accomplished by connecting the Track pin to VI. 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): PTH04T240F PTH04T240F www.ti.com ...............................................................................................................................................
