These regulators combine high performance with double-sided, surface-mount construction, to give designers the flexibility to power the most complex multiprocessor digital systems using off-the-shelf catalog parts. The PTV03010W series is produced in a 8-pin, single in-line pin (SIP) package. The SIP footprint minimizes board space, and offers an alternate package option for space conscious applications. Operating from a 3.3-V input bus, the series provides step-down conversion to a wide range of output voltages, at up to 8 A of output current. The output voltage can be set to any value over the range, 0.8 V to 2.5 V. The output voltage is set using a single external resistor. This series includes Auto-Track™. Auto-Track™ simplifies the task of supply-voltage sequencing in a power system by enabling the output voltage of multiple modules to accurately track each other, or any external voltage, during power up and power down. Other operating features include an on/off inhibit, and the ability to start up into an existing output voltage or prebias. A nonlatching overcurrent trip protects against load faults. Target applications include complex multivoltage, multiprocessor systems that incorporate the industry's high-speed microprocessors, bus drivers, and the TMS320™ DSP family.

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. This control pin is internally pulled up to the input voltage, VI. If this input is left open-circuit, the module operates when input power is applied. A small low-leakage (< 100 nA) MOSFET is recommended for control. For further information, see the related application note. A 10-µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor and 100-µF electrolytic input capacitor are required for proper operation. The electrolytic capacitor must be rated for 300 mArms minimum ripple current. See the Application Information for further guidance on capacitor selection. An external output capacitor is not required for basic operation. Adding 100 µF of distributed capacitance at the load improves the transient response. This is the calculated maximum. The minimum ESR limitation often results in a lower value. See the Application Information for further guidance. This is the typical ESR for all the electrolytic (nonceramic) output capacitance. Use 7 mΩ as the minimum when using maximum-ESR values to calculate. 3 PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS (3.3-V INPUT) (8) (9) EFFICIENCY vs OUTPUT CURRENT 100 OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE vs OUTPUT CURRENT 60 VO- Output Ripple Voltage - mVPP VO = 2.5 V Efficiency - % 90 80 VO = 1.2 V VO = 1.5 V 70 VO = 0.8 V 60 50 0 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 IO - Output Current - A Figure 1.

PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 DEVICE INFORMATION TERMINAL FUNCTIONS TERMINAL NAME DESCRIPTION NO. VI 8 VO 2, 3 The regulated positive power output with respect to the GND node. GND 1, 6 This is the common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the 0-Vdc reference for the control inputs. Inhibit 7 The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain, active-low input that is referenced to GND. Applying a low-level ground signal to this input disables the module 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 feature is not used, the control pin is left open-circuit. The module then produces an output voltage whenever a valid input source is applied. Vo Adjust 4 The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND. A 1% resistor must be connected directly between this pin and GND (pin 1 is recommended) to set the output voltage of the module higher than its lowest value. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or better). The set-point range is 0.8 V to 2.5 V. The resistor value is calculated using a formula. If this input is left open-circuit, the output voltage defaults to its lowest value. For further information, see the related application note. The specification table gives the standard resistor values for a number of common output voltages. Track 5 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 output 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. NOTE: Due to the undervoltage lockout feature, the output of the module cannot follow its own input voltage during power up. See the related Application Information for further guidance.

Pin Terminal Locations 5 PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 APPLICATION INFORMATION Capacitor Recommendations for the PTV03010W Power Module Input Capacitors The required input capacitors are a 10-µF ceramic and a minimum of 100-µF electrolytic type. The 100-µF capacitance must be rated for 300 mArms ripple current capability. See Table 1. The above ripple current requirements are conditional that the 10-µF ceramic capacitor is present. The 10-µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is necessary to reduce both the magnitude of ripple current through the electroytic capacitor and the amount of ripple current reflected back to the input source. Ceramic capacitors should be located within 0.5 inch. (1,3 cm) of the module's input pins. Additional ceramic capacitors can be added to reduce the RMS ripple current requirement for the electrolytic capacitor. Ripple current (Arms) rating, less than 150-mΩ equivalent series resistance (ESR), and temperature are the major considerations when selecting input capacitors. Unlike polymer-tantalum capacitors, regular tantalum capacitors have a recommended minimum voltage rating of 2 × (max. dc voltage + ac ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability. Only a few tantalum capacitors were found to have sufficient voltage rating to meet this requirement. At temperatures below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these applications, Os-Con, polymer-tantalum, and polymer-aluminum types should be considered. Output Capacitor (Optional) For applications with load transients (sudden changes in load current), regulator response benefits from external output capacitance. The recommended output capacitance of 100 µF allows the module to meet its transient response specification. For most applications, a high-quality computer-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor is adequate. These capacitors provide decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to 150 kHz, and are suitable when ambient temperatures are above 0°C. For operation below 0°C, tantalum-, ceramic-, or Os-Con-type capacitors are recommended. When using one or more nonceramic capacitors, the calculated ESR should be no lower than 4 mΩ (7 mΩ using the manufacturer's maximum ESR for a single capacitor). A list of preferred low-ESR-type capacitors are identified in Table 1. Ceramic Capacitors Above 150 kHz, the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective. Multilayer ceramic capacitors have 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. When used on the output, their combined ESR is not critical as long as the total value of ceramic capacitance does not exceed approximately 300 µF. Also, to prevent the formation of local resonances, do not place more than five identical ceramic capacitors in parallel with values of 10 µF or greater. Tantalum Capacitors Tantalum-type capacitors can only be used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where the ambient operating temperature can be less than 0°C. The AVX TPS, Sprague 593D/594/595, and Kemet T495/T510 capacitor series are suggested over many other tantalum types due to their higher rated surge, power dissipation, and ripple current capability. As a caution, many general-purpose tantalum capacitors have considerably higher ESR, reduced power dissipation, and lower ripple current capability. These capacitors are also less reliable as they have reduced power dissipation and surge current ratings. Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or surge current rating are not recommended for power applications. When specifying Os-con and polymer tantalum capacitors for the output, the minimum ESR limit is encountered before the maximum capacitance value is reached. Capacitor Table Table 1 identifies the characteristics of capacitors from a number of vendors with acceptable ESR and ripple current (rms) ratings. The recommended number of capacitors required at both the input and output buses is identified for each capacitor type. 6 PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Note: This is not an extensive capacitor list. Capacitors from other vendors are available with comparable specifications. Those listed are for guidance. The RMS ripple current rating and ESR (at 100 kHz) are critical parameters necessary to ensure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor life. 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 1 A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the data sheet specification table using the optional value of output capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a converter 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 output capacitor decoupling. In these cases, special attention must be paid to the type, value, and ESR of the capacitors selected. If the transient performance requirements exceed that specified in the data sheet, or the total amount of load capacitance is above 3000 µF, the selection of output capacitors becomes more important.

Without an adjust resistor, the output voltage is set to its lowest value. Table 2 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.

Each of these products are POLA™ compatible. POLA-compatible products are produced by a number of manufacturers, and offer customers advanced, nonisolated modules with the same footprint and form factor. POLA parts are also ensured to be interoperable, which provides customers with a second-source option. Soft-Start Power Up The Auto-Track feature allows the power up of multiple PTH/PTV modules to be directly controlled from the Track pin. However, in a stand-alone configuration, or when the Auto-Track feature is not being used, the Track pin is directly connected to the input voltage, VI (see Figure 7).

Power-Up Application Circuit 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. VI (2 V/div) VO (1 V/div) II (5 A/div) t -Time = 5 ms/div Figure 8. Power-Up Waveform 10 PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 From the moment a valid input voltage is applied, the soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically 8 ms to 15 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise. The output then progressively rises to the module set-point voltage. Figure 8 shows the soft-start power-up characteristic of the PTV03010W, operating from a 3.3-V input bus and configured for a 1.8-V output. The waveforms were measured with a 5-A resistive 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. Power up is complete within 25 ms. Overcurrent Protection (OCP) For protection against load faults, the modules incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load that exceeds the overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, a 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 the 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. Output On/Off Inhibit For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the modules incorporate an output 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 input is left open-circuit, providing a regulated output whenever a valid source voltage is connected to VI with respect to GND. Figure 9 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit input has its own internal pullup (see footnotes to electrical characteristics table). The input is not compatible with TTL logic devices. An open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended for control.

On/Off Inhibit Application Circuit Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control 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 25 ms.

Inhibit Waveform Auto-Track™ Function The Auto-Track function is unique to the PTH/PTV family, and is available with all POLA products. 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 DSPs, 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 control pins of two or more modules forces the Track control of all modules to follow the same collective RC-ramp waveform, and allows them to be controlled through a single transistor or switch. See Q1 in Figure 11. To initiate a power-up sequence, it is recommended that the Track control first be pulled to ground potential. This is done at or before input power is applied to the modules, and then held for at least 10 ms thereafter. This brief period gives the modules time to complete their internal soft-start initialization. Applying a logic level high signal to the circuit On/Off Control turns Q1 on and applies a ground signal to the Track input of the modules. After completing their internal soft-start intialization, the output of all modules remains at zero volts while Q1 is on. Q1 may be turned off 10 ms after a valid input voltage has been applied to the modules. This allows the track control voltage to automatically rise to the module input voltage. During this period, the output voltage of each module rises in unison with other modules to its respective set-point voltage. 12 PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 Figure 12 shows the output voltage waveforms from the circuit of Figure 11 after the On/Off Control is set from a high-level to a low-level voltage. The waveforms, VO1 and VO2 represent the output voltages from the two power modules, U1 (2.5 V) and U2 (1.5 V), respectively. VO1 and VO2 are shown rising together to produce the desired simultaneous power-up characteristic. The same circuit also provides a power-down sequence. Power down is the reverse of power up, and is accomplished by lowering the track control voltage back to zero volts. The important constraint is that a valid input voltage must be maintained until the power down is complete. It also requires that Q1 be turned off slowly. This is so that the track control voltage does not fall faster than Auto-Track slew rate capability, which is 1 V/ms. The components R1 and C1 in Figure 11 limit the rate at which Q1 pulls down the track control voltage. The values of 100 kΩ and 0.1 µF correlate to a decay rate of about 0.17 V/ms. The power-down sequence is initiated with a low-to-high transition at the On/Off Control input to the circuit. Figure 13 shows the power-down waveforms. As the Track control voltage falls below the nominal set-point voltage of each power module, then its output voltage decays with all the other modules under Auto-Track control. 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 absloute 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 10 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 module is capable of both sinking and sourcing current when following a voltage at its Track input. Therefore, start up into an output prebias cannot be supported when a module is under Auto-Track control. Note: A prebias holdoff is not necessary when all supply voltages rise simultaneously under the control of Auto-Track. 6. 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 at a quicker and more linear rate after input power has been applied.

Simultaneous Power Up With Auto-Track Control t - Time = 10 ms/Div Figure 13. Simultaneous Power Down With Auto-Track Control Prebias Start-Up Capability A prebias start-up 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, sometimes used 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, such modules can sink as well as source output current. The PTH/PTV modules incorporate synchronous rectifiers but do not sink current during start-up, or whenever the Inhibit pin is held low. Start-up includes an initial delay (approximately 8–15 ms), followed by the rise of the output voltage under the control of the module internal soft-start mechanism; see Figure 14. Conditions for Prebias Holdoff In order for the module to allow an output prebias voltage to exist (and not sink current), certain conditions must be maintained. The module holds off a prebias voltage when the Inhibit pin is held low, and whenever the output is allowed to rise under soft-start control. Power up under soft-start control occurs on the removal of the ground signal to the Inhibit pin (with input voltage applied), or when input power is applied with Auto-Track disabled(1). To further ensure that the regulator does not sink output current (even with a ground signal applied to its Inhibit), the input voltage must also be greater than the applied prebias source, throughout the power-up sequence(2). The soft-start period is complete when the output begins rising above the prebias voltage. The module then functions as normal, and sinks current if a voltage higher than its set-point value is applied to its output. Note: If a prebias condition is not present, the soft-start period is complete when the output voltage has risen to either the set-point voltage, or the voltage applied at the module Track control pin, whichever is lowest, to its output. Demonstration Circuit Figure 15 shows the start-up waveforms for the demonstration circuit shown in Figure 16. The initial rise in VO is the prebias voltage, which is passed from the VCCIO to the VCORE voltage rail through the ASIC. Note that the output current from the module (IO) is negligible until its output voltage rises above the applied prebias. 14 PTV03010W www.ti.com SLTS241 – FEBRUARY 2005 VI (1 V/div) VI (1 V/div) VO1 (1 V/div) VO (1 V/div) IO (5 A/div) Start-up Period t - Time = 10 ms/div t - Time = 10 ms/div Figure 14. PTV03010W Start-Up Figure 15. Prebias Start-Up Waveforms NOTES: 1. The prebias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track. If the rise in the output is limited by the voltage applied to the Track control pin, the output sinks current during the period that the track control voltage is below that of the back-feeding source. For this reason, Auto-Track should be disabled when not being used. This is accomplished by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage, VI. This raises the Track pin well above the set-point voltage prior to start-up, which defeats the Auto-Track feature. 2. To further ensure that the regulator output does not sink current when power is first applied (even with a ground signal applied to the Inhibit control input), the input voltage must always be greater than the applied prebias source. This condition must exist throughout the power-up sequence of the power system. VI = 3.3 V Track VI VO = 1.5 V PTV03010W GND GND VO + Vadj IO VCCIO VCORE + CI RSET 8.87 kW + CO ASIC Figure 16.
