DESCRIPTION
The PTH08T240F is a high-performance 10-A rated, non-isolated power module designed to meet ultra-fast
transient requirements for 3-GHz DSP systems. This module represent 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 4.5 V to 14 V, the PTH08T240F 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 PTH08T240F
particularly suitable for the 3-GHz DSP's core voltage requirements between 0.9 V and 1.1 V. Additionally, the
wide input voltage range increases design flexibility by supporting operation with 5-V, 8-V, or 12-V intermediate
bus architectures.
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 PTH08T240F 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 PTH08T240F 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.

The maximum input voltage is duty cycle limited to (VO× 11) or 14 volts, whichever is less. The maximum allowable input voltage is a
function of switching frequency, and may increase or decrease when the SmartSync feature is utilized. Please review the SmartSync
section of the Application Information 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 100 ppm/°C or better temperature stability.
For output voltages less than 1.7 V, the ripple may increase (up to 2×) when operating at input voltages greater than (VO× 11). See the
SmartSync section of the Application Information for input voltage and frequency limitations.
A low-leakage (<100 nA), open-drain device, such as MOSFET or voltage supervisor IC, is recommended to control pin 10. The
open-circuit voltage is less than 8 Vdc.
This control pin has an internal pull-up. Do not place an external pull-up on this pin. If it is left open-circuit, the module operates when
input power is applied. A small, low-leakage (<100 nA) MOSFET is recommended for control. For additional information, see the related
application information section.
A 330 µF electrolytic input capacitor is required for proper operation. The electrolytic capacitor must be rated for a minimum of 500 mA
rms of ripple current.

1000 µF of external output capacitance is required for basic operation. The minimum output capacitance requirement increases when
TurboTrans™ (TT) technology is utilized. See related Application Information for more guidance.
This is the calculated maximum disregarding TurboTrans™ technology. When the TurboTrans™ feature is utilized, the minimum output
capacitance must be increased.
When using TurboTrans™ technology, a minimum value of output capacitance is required for proper operation. Additionally, low ESR
capacitors are required for proper operation. See the application notes for further guidance.

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 directly connected between this pin and pin 7 (–Sense) to set the output voltage
to a value higher than 0.69 V. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or better). The
setpoint range for the output voltage is from 0.69 V to 2.0 V. 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.
PRODUCT PREVIEW
+ 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 (pin 4) very close to the module (within
10 cm).
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™
SmartSync

9
This input pin adjusts the transient response of the regulator. To activate the TurboTrans™ feature, a 1%,
50 mW 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. If
unused, this pin must be left open-circuit. The resistance requirement can be selected from the TurboTrans™
resistor table in the Application Information section. External capacitance must never be connected to this pin
unless the TurboTrans resistor value is a short, 0Ω.
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 PTH08T240F modules, aiding EMI noise
suppression efforts. If unused, this pin should be connected to GND (pin 3). For more information, please review
the Application Information section.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The Vo Adjust control (pin 8) sets the output voltage of the PTH08T240F. The adjustment range is 0.69 V to 2.0
V. The adjustment method requires the addition of a single external resistor, RSET, that must be connected
directly between the VO Adjust 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. Figure 9 shows the placement of the required
resistor.

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 will be 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
Figure 10 shows the amount of output capacitance required to meet a desired transient voltage deviation with
and without TurboTrans for Type C (e.g. OS-CON) capacitors; Type B (e.g. polymer-tantalum) capacitor charts
will be added. To calculate the proper value of RTT, first determine your required transient voltage deviation limits
and magnitude of your 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 (Figure 10; for Type C capacitors) 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 Amps). 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% (2.5 A), 50% (5 A), and 75% (7.5 A) 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, let's look at a 5-V application requiring a 15 mV deviation during an 5 A, 50% load transient. A
majority of 680 µF, 10 mΩ ouput capacitors will be used. Use the 5-V, Type C capacitor chart, Figure 10.
Dividing 15 mV by 5 A gives 3 mV/A transient voltage deviation per amp of transient load step. Select 3 mV/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 3000 µF. The required RTT resistor value for 3000 µF
can then be calculated or selected from Table 3. The required RTT resistor is approximately 13.0 kΩ.

PRODUCT PREVIEW
Utilizing TurboTrans requires connecting a resistor, RTT, between the +Sense pin (pin 6) and the TurboTrans pin
(pin 9). The value of the resistor directly corresponds to the amount of output capacitance required. All T2
products require a minimum value of output capacitance whether or not TurboTrans is utilized. For the
PTH08T240F, the minimum required capacitance is 1000 µF. 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.

Where CO is the total output capacitance in µF. CO values greater than or equal to 6300 µF require RTT to be a
short, 0Ω. (RTT results in a negative value when CO > 6300 µF).
To ensure stability, the value of RTT must be calculated using the minimum required output capacitance
determined from the capacitor transient response charts above.
