Note: During operation, changes to the program code should be limited to 15% of Vo so as to avoid activating the output OV protection. Pin Descriptions +Vin: The positive input 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. +Vo: The positive power output with respect to -Vo, which is DC isolated from the input supply pins. If a negative output voltage is desired, +Vo should be connected to the secondary circuit common and the output taken from –Vo. –Vin: The negative input supply for the module, and the 0VDC reference for the Remote On/Off input. When powering the module from a +48V supply, this input is connected to the 48V(Return). –Vo: The negative power output with respect to +Vo, which is DC isolated from the input supply pins. This output is normally connected to the secondary circuit common when a positive output voltage is desired. Remote On/Off: A positive logic input that is referenced to –Vin. Pulling this input down to –Vin potential disables the module’s output. If this input is left open-circuit, the module will produce an output whenever a valid input source is applied. +Remote Sense: Provides the converter with remote sense capability to regulate the set-point voltage directly at the load. When used with –Remote Sense, the regulation circuitry will compensate for voltage drop between the converter and the load. The pin may be left open circuit, but connecting it to +Vo will improve load regulation. VID0 – VID4: Selects the set-point output voltage of the converter according to the applicable program code. VID0 – VID4 must either be connected to (–)Remote Sense or left open circuit. Note: For the PT4402 & PT4403, VID 4 is internally disabled and may be left open circuit. –Remote Sense: This is the logic ‘0’ reference for the inputs VID0 – VID4, and provides the converter with remote sense capability when used in conjunction with +Remote Sense. For optimum output voltage accuracy this pin should always be connected to –Vo.

For technical support and more information, see inside back cover or visit www.ti.com Application Notes PT4400 Series Operating Features and System Considerations for the PT4400 Series of Isolated DC/DC Converters Over-Current Protection To protect against load faults, the PT4400 series incorporates output over-current protection. Applying a load that exceeds the converter’s over-current threshold (see applicable specification) will cause the regulated output to momentarily fold back and 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 succesive shutdown and power up until the load fault is removed. Once the fault is removed, the converter then automatically recovers and returns to normal operation. Output Over-Voltage Protection The PT4400 DC/DC converter series incorporates protection circuitry that continually senses for an output overvoltage (OV) condition. The OV threshold automatically tracks the VID output voltage program setting to a level that is 25% higher than that programmed at the control pins, VID0 through VID4. If the converter output voltage exceeds this OV threshold, the converter is immediately shut down and remains in a latched-off state. In order 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. Over-Temperature Protection Over-temperature protection is provided by an internal temperature sensor, which closely monitors the temperature of the converter’s metal case. If the case 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. 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 input 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 Remote On/Off control. Only when the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold will the Remote On/Off control be functional. Primary-Secondary Isolation The PT4400 DC/DC converter series incorporates electrical isolation between the input terminals (primary) and the output terminals (secondary). All converters are production tested to a withstand voltage of 1500VDC. This specification 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. The data sheet ‘Pin Descriptions’ section provides guidance as to the correct reference that must be used for the external control signals. Fuse Recommendations If desired, an input fuse may be added to protect against the application of a reverse input voltage. 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). The recommended direction for airflow is into, or perpendicular to, the longest side of the module’s metal case. See Figure 1. Figure 1 Recommended direction for airflow is into (perpendicular to) the longest side. For technical support and more information, see inside back cover or visit www.ti.com Application Notes PT4400 Series Using the Remote On/Off Function on the PT4400 Series of Isolated DC/DC Converters For applications requiring output voltage On/Off control, the PT4400 DC/DC converter series incorporates a “Remote On/Off” control (pin 1). This feature can be used to switch the module off without removing the applied input source voltage.

The Remote On/Off control uses –Vin (pins 2, 3) as its ground reference. All voltages are with respect to –Vin. 2. Use an open-collector device (preferably a discrete transistor) for the Remote On/Off input. A pull-up resistor is not necessary. To disable the output voltage, the control pin should be pulled low to less than +0.8V. 8 9 10 11 Note 1 13–16 0V -V s n s 12 Q1 BSS138 1 =OFF – REMOTE SENSE PROGRAMMING PINS Vdd R1 10k U1a Note 1 Turn-On Time: In the circuit of Figure 1, turning Q1 on applies a low-voltage to pin 1 and disables the converter output. Correspondingly, turning Q1 off allows pin 1 to be pulled high by an internal pull-up resistor. The converter produces a regulated output voltage within 50ms. Figure 2 shows the output response of a PT4401 following the turn-off of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the drop in Q1 Vgs. Although the rise-time of the output voltage is short (<5ms), the indicated delay time will vary depending upon the input voltage and the module’s internal timing. The output voltage of the PT4401 was set to 3.3V by connecting VID0 (pin 7), VID2 (pin 9), and VID3 (pin 10) to the (–)Remote Sense (pin 12). The waveforms were measured with 48VDC input voltage, and a 10A resistive load. Figure 2 3. The Remote On/Off pin may be controlled with devices that have a totem-pole output. This is provided the output high-level voltage (VOH) meets the module’s minimum VIH specified in Table 1. Do not apply more than +20V. If a TTL gate is used, a pull-up resistor may be required to the logic supply voltage. 4. The PT4400 converters incorporate an “Under-Voltage Lockout” (UVLO). The UVLO keeps the converter off until the input voltage is close to the minimum specified operating voltage. This is regardless of the state of the Remote On/Off control. Table 2 gives the UVLO input voltage thresholds. VID0 - VID4 7 L O A D Co –V i n 1 When placed in the “Off” state, the standby current drawn from the input source is typically reduced to less than 1mA. 17–20 PT4401 Note 1 Figure 1 is an application schematic, which shows the typical use of the Remote On/Off function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Remote On/Off pin has its own internal pull-up, allowing it to be controlled with an open-collector or open-drain device (See notes 2 & 3). Table 1 gives the threshold requirements. +3.3V 21 + The converter functions normally with Pin 1 open-circuit, providing a regulated output voltage when a valid source voltage is applied to +Vin (pins 4, 5), with respect to -Vin (pins 2, 3). When a low-level 1 ground signal is applied to pin 1, the converter output will be turned off.

On all models other than the PT4401, the contol input VID4 (pin 11) is internally disabled and not functional. 6. If active devices are used to ground the voltage control pins, low-level open drain MOSFET devices should be used over bipolar transistors. The inherent Vce(sat) in bipolar devices introduces errors in the device’s internal voltage control circuit. Discrete transistors such as the BSS138 or IRLML2402 are examples of appropriate devices. The PT4400 series of isloated DC/DC converters have a programmable output voltage. In each case the desired output voltage must be selected from one of a number of discrete voltages using the voltage programming control pins. Depending on each model’s resolution and adjustment range, there are up to five control pins. They are identified VID0–VID4 (pins 7–11) respectively. By selectively strapping these control pins to (–)Remote Sense (pin 12), the output voltage can be programmed in incremental steps over the defined output voltage range. The program code and output voltage range of the PT4401 is also compatible with the “Voltage ID” code defined in the Intel® VRM 8.2 specification. Refer to Figure 1 for the connection schematic, and the product specification sheet for each model’s applicable program code. Active Voltage Programming: Special precautions should be taken when making changes to the voltage progam code while the output is active. This activity induces a transient, which may activate the module’s output over-voltage (OV) protection. Once triggered the OV protection circuit latches the output off, and requires the momentary removal of input power to reset the module. OV protection trips can be avoided by limiting the output voltage adjustment to no more than a 15% change from the initial voltage. Large transitions are best made with a series of incremental changes, allowing 100µs settling time between each program state. When using active devices to program the output voltage, their state should be asserted prior to input power being applied. An alternative is to pull pin 1 (Remote On/Off) to -Vin (pins 2, 3) during the application of power, assert the required program code, and then release pin 1. The module will than initiate a soft-start power-up to the desired program voltage. Notes: 1. The programming convention is as follows:Logic 0: Connect to pin 12 (–Remote Sense). Logic 1: Open circuit/open drain (See notes 2, & 4) 2. Do not connect pull-up resistors to the voltage programming pins. 3. To minimize output voltage error, always use pin 12 (-Remote Sense) as the logic “0” reference. While -Vout (pins 13-16) can also be used for programming, doing so will degrade the voltage selection accuracy and load regulation of the product. 4. When VID0–VID4 are all open circuit (logic 1), the output voltage is undefined. In this state the output voltage of the converter cannot be guaranteed, and can vary with output load and input voltage.
