The wideoutput adjust enables the output voltage to be set to to any voltage over the range, 1.8 V to 3.6 V, using a single external resistor. Precise output voltage regulation is assured using Smart-Sense. This is a differential remote sense that will intelligently regulate the sequenced output, depending on its sequence status. Other operational features include an input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and an output enable control. Over-current, over-voltage, and over-temperature protection assures the module’s ability to survive any load fault. Typical applications include distributed power architectures in both telecom and computing environments, particularly complex digital systems requiring powersequencing of multiple power supply rails. The PTB78520W is a 20-A rated, wide-input (18-60 V) isolated DC/DC converter that incorporates Auto-Track™ power-up sequencing. This allows these modules to simultaneously power up with any other downstream non-isolated, AutoTrack compliant module. The PTB78520W module provides two outputs, each regulated to the same voltage. During power up, the voltage at ‘VO Bus’ rises first, allowing this output to provide input power to any downstream non-isolated module. The voltage from ‘VO Seq’ is then allowed to rise simultaneously, under the control of Auto-Track, along with the outputs from the downstream modules. Whether used to facilitate power-up sequencing, or operated as a stand-alone module, the PTB78520W includes many features expected of high-performance DC/DC converter modules.

Pin Descriptions +VIN: The positive input for the module with respect to –VIN. When powering the module from a negative input voltage, this input is connected to the input source ground. –VIN: The negative input supply for the module, and the 0-V reference for the ‘VO Enable’ input. When powering the module from a positive source, this input is connected to the input source return. Vo Enable*: An open-collector (open-drain) negative logic input that is referenced to –VIN. This input must be pulled to –Vin potential to enable the output voltage. A highimpedance connection will disable the module output. If the output enable feature is not used, pin 2 should be permanently connected to –VIN. The module will then produce an output whenever a valid input source is applied. Vo Bus: Produces a positive power output with respect to ‘VO COM’. This is the main output from the converter when operated in a stand-alone configuration. It is dcisolated from the input power pins and is the first output to rise when the converter is either powered or enabled. In power-up sequencing applications, this output can provide a 3.3-V standby source to power the downstream non-isolated modules. Vo Seq: This is the sequenced output voltage from the converter. This voltage can be directly controlled from the Track pin. During power up, VO Seq will rise with the Track pin voltage, typically 20 ms after the VO Bus output has reached regulation. Vo COM: This is the output power return for both the ‘VO Bus’ and ‘VO Seq’ output voltages. This node should be connected to the load circuit common. Track: The voltage at this pin directly controls the voltage at the ‘VO Seq’ regulated output. It is primarily used to sequence the voltage at ‘VO Seq’ with the regulated outputs from any downstream non-isolated modules that are powered from the converter’s ‘+VO Bus’ output. In these applications, the ‘Track’ pin is simply connected to the track control of each of the non-isolated modules. The ‘Track’ pin of the PTB78520W has an internal transistor, which holds it at ‘VO COM’ potential for approximately 20 ms after the ‘VO Bus’ output is in regulation. Following this delay, the ‘Track’ voltage and ‘VO Seq’ will rise simultaneously with the output voltage from all the non-isolated modules, that are under the control of Auto-Track. Vo Adjust: A resistor must be connected between this pin and ‘–Sense’ to set the converter’s output voltage. A 0.05-W rated resistor may be used, with tolerance and temperature stability of 1% and 100 ppm/°C, respectively. If this pin is left open, the converter output voltage will default to its lowest value. The specification table gives the preferred resistor values for the popular bus voltages. +Sense: The ‘+Sense’ pin can be connected to either the ‘VO Bus’ or ‘VO Seq’ outputs. When connected to ‘VO Seq’, remote sense compensation will be delayed until the power-up sequence is complete. The voltage at ‘Vo Bus’ will also be raised slightly. The pin may be left open circuit, but connecting it to one of the output terminals improves load regulation of that output. –Sense: Provides the converter with a remote sense capability when used in conjunction with +Sense. For optimum output voltage accuracy this pin should always be connected to ‘VO COM’. This pin is also the reference connection for the output voltage set-point resistor.

(2) When load current is supplied from the VO SEQ output, the module will exhibit higher power dissipation and slightly lower operating efficiency. (3) The set-point voltage tolerance is affected by the tolerance and stability of R SET. The stated limit is unconditionally met if RSET has a tolerance of 1%, with 100 ppm/°C temperature stability. (4) When controlling the Track input from an external source the slew rate of the applied signal must be greater than the minimum limit. Failure to allow the voltage to completely rise to the voltage at the Vo Bus output, at no less than the minimum specified rate, may thermally overstress the converter. (5) The ‘VO Enable’ input has an internal pull-up, and if left open the converter output will be turned off. A discrete MOSFET or bipolar transistor is recommended to control this input. The open-circuit voltage is approximately 20% of the input voltage. If the output enable feature is not used, this pin should be permanently connected to –VIN .

For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com Not Recommended for New Designs Application Notes PTB78520W Operating Features and System Considerations for the PTB78520W DC/DC Converter Over-Current Protection To protect against load faults these converters incorporate output over-current protection. Applying a load to the output that exceeds the converter’s over-current threshold (see applicable specification) will cause the output voltage to momentarily fold back, and then shut down. Following shutdown the module will periodically attempt to automatically recover by initiating a soft-start power-up. This is often described as a “hiccup” mode of operation, whereby the module continues in the cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault is removed. Once the fault is removed, the converter automatically recovers and returns to normal operation. Output Over-Voltage Protection The converter continually monitors for an output overvoltage (OV) condition, directly across the ‘+VO Bus’ output. The OV threshold automatically tracks the output voltage setpoint to a level that is 25% higher than that set by the external RSET voltage adjust resistor. If the output voltage exceeds this threshold, the converter is immediately shut down and remains in a latched-off state. To resume normal operation the converter must be actively reset. This can only be done by momentarily removing the input power to the converter. For failsafe operation and redundancy, the OV protection uses circuitry that is independent of the converter’s internal feedback loop. Leaving the (+)Sense and (–)Sense pins open will not damage the converter or load circuitry. The converter includes default circuitry that keeps the output voltage in regulation. If the remote sense feature is not used, the (–)Sense pin should always be connected to ‘Vo COM’. Note: The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of non-linear 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 sense pin connections they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the stability of the converter. Over-Temperature Protection Over-temperature protection is provided by an internal temperature sensor, which monitors the temperature of the converter’s PCB (close to pin 1). If the PCB temperature exceeds a nominal 115 °C, the converter will shut down. The converter will then automatically restart when the sensed temperature drops back to approximately 105 °C. When operated outside its recommended thermal derating envelope (see data sheet SOA curves), the converter will typcially cycle on and off at intervals from a few seconds to one or two minutes. This is to ensure that the internal components are not permanently damaged from excessive thermal stress. Differential Output Voltage Sense A differential remote sense allows a converter’s regulation circuitry to compensate for limited amounts of IR drop, that may be incurred between the converter and load, in either the positive or return PCB traces. Connecting the (+)Sense and (–)Sense pins to the respective positive and ground reference of the load terminals will improve the load regulation of the converter’s output voltage at that connection point. The (–)Sense pin should always be connected to the ‘VO COM’. The (+)Sense pin may be connected to either the ‘+VO Bus’ or ‘+VO Seq’ outputs. Under-Voltage Lockout The Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) is designed to prevent the operation of the converter until the input voltage is close to the minimum operating voltage. The converter is held off when the input voltage is below the UVLO threshold, and turns on when the input voltage rises above the threshold. This prevents high start-up current during normal power-up of the converter, and minimizes the current drain from the input source during low input voltage conditions. The converter will meet full specifications when the minimum specified input voltage is reached. The UVLO circuitry also overrides the operation of the Vo Enable control. Only when the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold will the Vo Enable control be functional. When the (+)Sense pin is connected to the ‘VO Seq’ output, the voltage at ‘Vo Bus’ voltage will regulate slightly higher. Depending on the load conditions on the ‘VO Seq’ output, the voltage at ‘VO Bus’ may be up to 100 mV higher than the converter’s set-point voltage. In addition, the Smart-Sense feature (incorporated into the PTB78520 converter) will only engage sense compensation to the ‘VO Seq’ output when that output voltage is close to the set-point. During other conditions, such as power-up and power-down sequencing events, the sense circuit automatically defaults to sensing the ‘VO Bus’ voltage, internal to the converter. Primary-Secondary Isolation These converters incorporate electrical isolation between the input terminals (primary) and the output terminals (secondary). All converters are tested to a withstand voltage of 1500 VDC. This complies with UL/cUL 60950 and EN 60950 and the requirements for operational isolation. It allows the converter to be configured for either a positive or negative input voltage source. The data sheet ‘Pin Descriptions’ section provides guidance as to the correct reference that must be used for the external control signals. For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com Not Recommended for New Designs Application Notes PTB78520W Output Voltage Adjustment The ‘VO Adjust’ control sets the output voltages to a value higher than 1.8 V. For output voltages other than 1.8 V a single external resistor, RSET, must be connected directly between the ‘VO Adjust’ (pin 7) and ‘(–)Sense’ (pin 6) pins. A 0.05-W rated resistor can be used. The tolerance should be 1%, with a temperature stability of 100 ppm/°C (or better). Place the resistor close to the converter and connect it directly between pins 7 & 6 using dedicated PCB traces (see typical application). Table 1-1 gives the preferred 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 adjust resistor may be calculated using the following formula. RSET = 6.49 kΩ · 1.225 V – 4.42 kΩ VSET – 1.805 V Table 1-1; Preferred Values of R SET for Standard Output Voltages VSET (Standard) 3.6 V 3.3 V 2.5 V 2.0 V 1.8 V RSET (Pref’d Value) 0Ω 887 Ω 6.98 kΩ 35.7 kΩ Open VSET (Actual) 3.604V 3.303 V 2.503 V 2.003 V 1.805 V 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 10 A, is recommended. Active current limiting can be implemented with a current limited “Hot-Swap” controller. Thermal Considerations Airflow may be necessary to ensure that the module can supply the desired load current in environments with elevated ambient temperatures. The required airflow rate may be determined from the Safe Operating Area (SOA) thermal derating chart (see converter specifications). For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com Not Recommended for New Designs Application Notes PTB78520W Using the Output Enable Control on the PTB78520 Auto-Track Compatible DC/DC Converter The ‘VO Enable’ (pin 2) control is an active low input that allows the output voltage from the converter to be turned on and off while it is connected to the input source. The ‘VO Enable’ input is referenced to the –VIN (pin 3) 1, on the primary side of the converter’s isolation, and has its own internal pull up. The open-circuit voltage is approximately 20% of the applied input source voltage. For the converter to function normally pin 2 must be pulled low to –VIN potential 2. The converter output will then produce a regulated voltage whenever a valid source voltage is applied between +VIN (pin 1) and –VIN (pin 3) 3. If the voltage at pin 2 is allowed to rise above VIH(min), (see specification table), the output from the converter will be turned off. Figure 1-1 is an application schematic that shows the typical use of the Output Enable function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). Either a discrete MOSFET or bipolar transistor is recommended to control this input. Table 1-1 gives the threshold requirements. When placed in the “Off” state the output will neither source or sink output current. The load voltage will then decay as the output capacitance is discharged by the load circuit. With the output turned off, the current drawn from the input source is typically reduced to 2 mA.

This disables the converter output. When Q1 is then turned on, it applies a low-level voltage to pin 2, and enables the output of the converter. The converter produces a regulated output voltage within 50 ms. Figure 1-2 shows the output response of a PTB78520W after Q1 is turned on. The turn on of Q1 corresponds to the drop in the Q1 Vds waveform. Although the output voltage rise-time is short (<10 ms), the indicated delay time (td) will vary depending upon the input voltage and the module’s internal timing. The output voltage of the PTB78520W was set to 3.3 V. The waveforms were measured with 24-Vdc input voltage, and a 10 A resistive load. — Figure 1-2; Output Enable Power-Up Characteristic Vo Bus (1 V/Div) Notes: 1. The Output Enable control uses –VIN (pin 3) as its ground reference. All voltages are with respect to –VIN. 2. Use an open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor to control the Output Enable input. A pull-up resistor is not necessary. To disable the converter the control pin should be pulled low to less than +0.8 V. If the Output Enable feature is not used, pin 2 should be permanently connected to –VIN (pin 3). 3. The converter incorporates an “Under-Voltage Lockout” (UVLO). The UVLO does not allow the converter to power up until the input voltage is close to its minimum specified operating voltage. This is regardless of the state of the Output Enable control. Consult the specifications for the UVLO thresholds.

Both outputs are regulated to the same set-point voltage, except that the rise in the ‘VO Seq’ output is controlled by a pin called ‘Track’, and delayed during power-up events. This delay allows the PTB78520W to both power and sequence with one or more non-isolated, 3.3-V input, Auto-Track compatible modules 1. In these applications, the PTB78520W incorporates the necessary timing to coordinate the rise of all sequenced outputs using a common track control signal. The hold-off delay time also complies with the power-up requirements of the downstream non-isolated modules, without the need for additional components. PTB78520W Auto-Track Features Figure 2-1 shows a block diagram of the PTB78520W Auto-Track features. During power up, ‘VO Bus’ (pin 9) rises promptly, whenever the converter is connected to a valid input source and its output is enabled. ‘VO Seq’ (pin 10) is the Auto-Track compatible output that is derived from ‘VO Bus’ but directly controlled by the voltage presented at the Track input (pin 4). The control relationship is on a volt-for-volt basis, and is active from 0 V up to a voltage just below the ‘VO Bus’ output. Between these two limits, the voltage at ‘VO Seq’ will follow that at the ‘Track’ input. However, once the Track input is at the ‘VO Bus’ voltage, raising it higher has no further effect. The voltage at ‘VO Seq’ cannot go higher than ‘VO Bus’, and if it is connected to ‘+Sense’ (pin 8), it will then regulate at the set-point voltage. 2 The control relationship between ‘VO Seq’ and the Track input is the same as other Auto-Track compatible outputs, across all module types. By connecting the Track input of the PTB78520W to the Track input of other Auto-Track compatible modules, the output voltages can be made to follow a common signal during power-up transitions. 3 Each Track input produces a suitable track control signal from an internal R-C time constant. An input signal can also be provided from an externally generated ramp waveform. 4, 5 The Track input of the PTB78520W has a pull-up resistor to ‘VO Bus’, and a capacitor to ‘VO COM’. This enables its Track input to rise automatically; once it is allowed to do so. In sequencing applications, the non-isolated modules are powered by the ‘VO Bus’ output. A MOSFET, internal to the PTB78520W, holds the Track voltage (and the ‘VO Seq’ output) at ground for 20 ms after the ‘VO Bus’ output is in regulation. This gives the non-isolated modules time to initialize so that their outputs can rise with the ‘VO Seq’ output. For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com To feedback error amp’ Smart Sense (+)Sense Vo Seq RTRK 24.9 k Track Supply Supervisor 20 ms Delay CTRK 1 µF Vo COM Notes: 1. Auto-Track compatible modules incorporate a Track input that can take direct control of the output voltage during power-up transistions. The control relationship is on a volt-for-volt basis and is active between the 0 V and the module’s set-point voltage. When the Track input is above the set-point voltage, the module remains at its set point. Connecting the Track input of a number of such modules together allows their outputs to follow a common track control voltage during power-up. 2. When ‘+Sense’ (pin 8) is connected to the ‘VO Seq’ output (pin 10), the ‘Vo Seq’ output will be tightly regulated to the PTB78520W’s set-point voltage. In this configuration, the voltage at the ‘VO Bus’ output (pin 9) will be up to 100 mV higher. 3 The ‘VO Seq’ output cannot sink load current. This constraint does not allow the PTB78520W to coordinate a sequenced power down. 4. The slew rate for the Track input signal must be between 0.1 V/ms and 1 V/ms. Above this range the ‘VO Seq’ output may no longer accurately follow the Track input voltage. A slew rate below this range may thermally stress the converter. These slew rate limits are met whenever the Track input voltage is allowed to rise, using the internal R-C time constants at the Track input of all modules being sequenced. 5. Whenever an external voltage is used to control the Track input, the source current must be limited. A resistance value of 2.74-kΩ is recommended for this purpose. This is necessary to protect the internal transistor to the PTB78520W converter’s Track control input. This transistor holds the track control voltage at ground potential for 20 ms after the ‘VO Bus’ output is in regulation. Not Recommended for New Designs Application Notes PTB78520W Typical Power-Up Sequencing Configuration Figure 2-2 shows how the PTB78520W (U1 ) can be configured to provide two 3.3 V sources, that allow it to both power and sequence with one or more non-isolated POL modules. The example shows two PTH03050W modules (U2 & U3), each rated for up 6 A of output current. Additional voltages, as well as modules with a higher output current capability can also be specified to meet a specific application. The number of downstream modules, their respective output voltage and load current rating is only limited by the amount of current available at the ‘VO Bus’ output. This is 20 A, less the current allocated to the load circuit via the ‘VO Seq’ output. The output voltage adjust range of the PTB78520W is 1.8 V to 3.6 V, which is compatible with the 3.3-V input non-isolated POL modules. In these applications, the PTB78520W output voltage must always be set to 3.3 V (R1 =887Ω). Note that this sets the output voltage of both the ‘VO Bus’ and ‘VO Seq’ outputs. The 3.3-V input non-isolated modules, U2 and U3, can be set to any voltage over the range, 0.8 V to 2.5 V. In this example they are set to 2.5 V (R2 =2.21 kΩ) and 1.8 V (R3 =5.49 kΩ) respectively. Figure 2-3 shows the power-up waveforms from Figure 2-2 when the Track control input to all three modules are simply connected together. The PTB78520W provides input power to the downstream non-isolated modules via the ‘Vo Bus’ output. This is the output that rises first to allow the down- Figure 2-3; PTB78520 Power-Up Waveforms with POL Modules Vo Bus (1 V/Div) Vo Seq (1 V/Div) V POL 1 (1 V/Div) V POL 2 (1 V/Div) t d =20 ms HORIZ SCALE: 20 ms/Div stream modules to complete their power-up initialization. ‘VO Seq’ (3.3 V), and the outputs VPOL1 (2.5 V) and VPOL2 (1.8 V), supply the load circuit. These three outputs are controlled by the track control voltage, which the PTB78520W holds at ground potential for 20 ms after the ‘VO Bus’ output is in regulation. When the track control voltage is finally allowed to rise, the three outputs rise simultaneously to their respective set-point voltages.

In these applications the PTB78520W is not required to power up, or sequence with, any non-isolated POL modules. The output voltage can be adjusted to any value over the range, 1.8 V to 3.6 V, and the Auto-Track features simply disregarded. Figure 2-4 shows the the recommended configuration of the PTB78520W when it is used as a stand-alone converter. As a sequenced output voltage is not required, the main output, ‘VO Bus’, is used to supply all the load current. The ‘Track’ pin, and ‘VO Seq’ output are simply left open circuit. The ‘(+)Sense’ pin can also be connected to the ‘VO Bus’ output for improved load regulation. When the PTB78520W is operated in this mode, the output from ‘VO Bus’ rises promptly upon power up. The converter also exhibits slightly less power dissipation and a corresponding improvment in operating efficiency.
