The PTH12030 is a series of high current, non-isolated power module from Texas Instruments. This product ischaracterized by high efficiencies, and up to 26 A of output current, while occupying a small PCB area of1.64 in
2
. In terms of cost, size, and performance, the series provides OEM s with a flexible module that meets therequirements of the most complex and demanding mixed-signal applications. These include the most denslypopulated, multiprocessor systems that incorporate the high-speed TMS320™ DSP family, microprocessors, andASICs.
The series uses double-sided surface mount construction and provides high-performance step-down powerconversion from a 12-V input bus voltage. The output voltage of the W-suffix parts can be set to any value overthe range, 1.2 V to 5.5 V. The L-suffix parts have an adjustment range of 0.8 V to 1.8 V. The output voltage is setusing a single resistor.
This series includes Auto-Track™. Auto-Track simplifies power-up and power-down supply voltage sequencing ina system by enabling modules to track each other, or any other external voltage.
Each model also includes an on/off inhibit, output voltage adjust (trim), and margin up/down controls, and theability to start up into an existing prebias. An output voltage sense ensures tight load regulation, and an outputovercurrent and thermal shutdown feature provide for protection against external load faults.
Package options inlude both through-hole and surface mount configurations.

When the Inhibit control is active, the input current drawn by the regulator is significantly reduced. If theInhibit pin is left open-circuit, the module produces an output whenever a valid input source is applied.A 1% resistor must be directly connected between this pin and pin 7 ( GND) to set the output voltage toa value higher than 0.8 V. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/ ° C (or better).The set point range for the output voltage is from 1.2 V to 5.5 V for W-suffix devices, and 0.8 V to 1.8 VV

Adjust 5 for L-suffix devices. The resistor value required for a given output voltage may be calculated using aformula. If left open circuit, the module output voltage defaults to its lowest value. For furtherinformation on output voltage adjustment, see the related application information section.

8,9 The regulated positive power output with respect to the GND node.This is an analog control input that enables the output voltage to follow an external voltage. This pinbecomes active typically 20 ms after the input voltage has been applied, and allows direct control of theoutput voltage from 0 V up to the nominal set-point voltage. Within this range the output will follow thevoltage at the Track pin on a volt-for-volt basis. When the control voltage is raised above this range,Track 11 the module regulates at its set-point voltage. The feature allows the output voltage to risesimultaneously with other modules powered from the same input bus. If unused, this input should beconnected to V

.Note: Due to the undervoltage lockout feature, the output of the module cannot followits own input voltage during power up. For more information, see the related application informationsection.

The recommended input capacitor(s) is determined by the 560 µ F minimum capacitance and 500 mArmsminimum ripple current rating.
Ripple current, less than 100 m equivalent series resistance (ESR) and temperature, are the majorconsiderations when selecting input capacitors. Unlike polymer-tantalum capacitors, regular tantalum capacitorsare not recommended for the input bus. These capacitors require a recommended minimum voltage rating of 2 ×(max. dc voltage + ac ripple). When the operating temperature is below 0 ° C, the ESR of aluminum electrolyticcapacitors increases. For these applications, Os-Con, polymer-tantalum, and polymer-aluminum types should beconsidered.
Adding one or two ceramic capacitors to the input further reduces high-frequency reflected ripple current.
For applications with load transients, regulator response benefits from an external output capacitance. Therecommended output capacitance of 330 µ F allows the module to meet its transient response specification. Formost applications, a high quality computer-grade aluminum eletrolytic capacitor is adequate. These capacitorsprovide decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to 150 kHz, and are suitable when ambient temperatures areabove 0 ° C. For operation below 0 ° C, tantalum, ceramic, or Os-Con type capacitors are recommended. Whenusing one or more nonceramic capacitors, the calculated equivalent ESR should be no lower than 4 m (7 m using the manufacturer s maximum ESR for a single capacitor). A list of preferred low-ESR type capacitors areidentified in Table 4 .
Above 150 kHz, the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective. Multilayer ceramiccapacitors have low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the regulator. They can beused 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 capacitancedoes not exceed 300 µ F. Also, to prevent the formation of local resonances, do not place more than five identicalceramic capacitors in parallel with values of 10 µ F or greater.
Tantalum type capacitors can only be used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where theambient operating temperature can be less than 0 ° C. The AVX TPS, Sprague 593D/594/595, and KemetT495/T510 capacitor series are suggested over other tantalum types due to their higher rated surge, powerdissipation, and ripple current capability. As a caution many general-purpose tantalum capacitors haveconsiderably higher ESR, reduced power dissipation and lower ripple current capability. These capacitors arealso less reliable as they have reduced power dissipation and surge current ratings. Tantalum capacitors thathave 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 encounteredwell before the maximum capacitance value is reached.
Table 4 identifies the characteristics of capacitors from a number of vendors with acceptable ESR and ripplecurrent (rms) ratings. The recommended number of capacitors required at both the input and output buses isidentified for each capacitor type.
This is not an extensive capacitor list. Capacitors from other vendors are available with comparablespecifications. Those listed are for guidance. The RMS ripple current rating and ESR (at 100 kHz) are criticalparameters necessary to insure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor life.

The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of 1A/ µ s.The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the specification table using the optional value ofoutput capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a converter s regulation circuitultimately depends on its output capacitor decoupling network. This is an inherent limitation with any dc/dcconverter once the speed of the transient exceeds its bandwidth capability. If the target application specifies ahigher di/dt or lower voltage deviation, the requirement can only be met with additional output capacitordecoupling. 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 this data sheet, or the total amount of loadcapacitance is above 3,000 µ F, the selection of output capacitors becomes more important.
MODULES
The PTH/PTV family of nonisolated, wide-output adjustable power modules are optimized for applications thatrequire a flexible, high performance module that is small in size. 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 assured to be interoperable,thereby providing customers with a second-source availability.
From the basic, Just Plug it In functionality of the 6-A modules, to the 30-A rated feature-rich PTHxx030, theseproducts were designed to be very flexible, yet simple to use. The features vary with each product. Table 5provides a quick reference to the features by product series and input bus voltage.

The Auto-Track feature allows the power-up of multiple PTH 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 shouldbe directly connected to the input voltage, V
I
, see Figure 11 .
When the Track pin is connected to the input voltage the Auto-Track function is permanently disengaged. Thisallows the module to power up entirely under the control of its internal soft-start circuitry. When power up isunder soft-start control, the output voltage rises to the set-point at a quicker and more linear rate.
Figure 11. Power-Up Application Circuit Figure 12. Power-Up Waveforms
From the moment a valid input voltage is applied, the soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically8 ms-15 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise. The output then progressively rises to the module ssetpoint voltage. Figure 12 shows the soft-start power-up characteristic of the 18-A output product(PTH12020W), operating from a 12-V input bus and configured for a 3.3-V output. The waveforms weremeasured with a 5-A resistive load and the Auto-Track feature disabled. The initial rise in input current when theinput voltage first starts to rise is the charge current drawn by the input capacitors. Power-up is complete within25 ms.
For protection against load faults, all modules incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load thatexceeds the regulator s overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown amodule periodically attempts to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up. This is described as a hiccup mode ofoperation, whereby the module continues in a cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault isremoved. During this period, the average current flowing into the fault is significantly reduced. Once the fault isremoved, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.
The PTH12020W and PTH12030W products have overtemperature protection. These products have an on-boardtemperature sensor that protects the module s internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures. A rise inthe internal temperature may be the result of a drop in airflow, or a high ambient temperature. If the internaltemperature exceeds the OTP threshold, the module s Inhibit control is internally pulled low. This turns the outputoff. The output voltage drops as the external output capacitors are discharged by the load circuit. The recovery isautomatic, and begins with a soft-start power up. It occurs when the the sensed temperature decreases by about10 ° C below the trip point.Note: 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-termreliability of the module. Always operate the regulator within the specified safe operating area (SOA) limits forthe worst-case conditions of ambient temperature and airflow.

For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, each series of the PTH family incorporates an outputInhibit control pin. The inhibit feature can be used wherever there is a requirement for the output voltage from theregulator to be turned off.
The power modules function normally when the Inhibit pin is left open-circuit, providing a regulated outputwhenever a valid source voltage is connected to V
I
with respect to GND.
Figure 13 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit inputhas its own internal pull-up to a potential of 5 V to 13.2 V (see footnotes to specification table). The input is notcompatible with TTL logic devices. An open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended forcontrol.
Figure 13. Inhibit Control Circuit Figure 14. Power-Up from Inhibit Control
Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is thenturned off, the module executes a soft-start power-up sequence. A regulated output voltage is produced within 25ms Figure 14 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the turn-off of Q1. Theturn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, Q1 V
ds
. The waveforms were measured with a 5-Aconstant current load.
Products with this feature incorporate an output voltage sense pin, V
O
Sense. A remote sense improves the loadregulation performance of the module by allowing it to compensate for any IR voltage drop between its outputand the load. An IR drop is caused by the high output current flowing through the small amount of pin and traceresistance.
To use this feature simply connect the V
O
Sense pin to the V
O
node, close to the load circuit (see standardapplication circuit). If a sense pin is left open-circuit, an internal low-value resistor (15- or less) connectedbetween the pin and and the output node, ensures the output remains in regulation.
With the sense pin connected, the difference between the voltage measured directly between the V
O
and GNDpins, and that measured from V
O
Sense to GND, is the amount of IR drop being compensated by the regulator.This should be limited to a maximum of 0.3 V.Note: The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear orfrequency dependent components that may be placed in series with the converter output. Examples includeOR-ing diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When these components are enclosed by the remotesense connection, they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affectthe stability of the regulator.

Auto-Track™ Function
PTH12030W/L
www.ti.com
.................................................................................................................................................... SLTS211H MAY 2003 REVISED DECEMBER 2008
The Auto-Track function is unique to the PTH/PTV family, and is available with all POLA products. Auto-Trackwas designed to simplify the amount of circuitry required to make the output voltage from each module power upand power down in sequence. The sequencing of two or more supply voltages during power up is a commonrequirement for complex mixed-signal applications that use dual-voltage VLSI ICs such as the TMS320™ DSPfamily, 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 israised above the set-point voltage, the module output remains at its set-point
(2)
. As an example, if the Track pinof 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 regulatedoutput 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 avolt-for-volt basis. By connecting the Track pin of a number of these modules together, the output voltages followa common signal during power up and power down. The control signal can be an externally generated masterramp waveform, or the output voltage from another power supply circuit
(3)
. For convenience, the Track inputincorporates an internal RC-charge circuit. This operates off the module input voltage to produce a suitable risingwaveform at power up.
Typical Application
The basic implementation of Auto-Track allows for simultaneous voltage sequencing of a number of Auto-Trackcompliant modules. Connecting the Track inputs of two or more modules forces their track input to follow thesame collective RC-ramp waveform, and allows their power-up sequence to be coordinated from a commonTrack control signal. This can be an open-collector (or open-drain) device, such as a power-up reset voltagesupervisor IC. See U3 in Figure 15 .
To coordinate a power-up sequence, the Track control must first be pulled to ground potential. This should bedone at or before input power is applied to the modules. The ground signal should be maintained for at least40 ms after input power has been applied. This brief period gives the modules time to complete their internalsoft-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 powerup.
Figure 15 shows how the TL7712A supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequencedpower up of two 12-V input Auto-Track modules. The output of the TL7712A supervisor becomes active abovean input voltage of 3.6 V, enabling it to assert a ground signal to the common track control well before the inputvoltage has reached the module's undervoltage lockout threshold. The ground signal is maintained untilapproximately 43 ms after the input voltage has risen above U3's voltage threshold, which is 10.95 V. The 43-mstime period is controlled by the capacitor C3. The value of 3.3 µF provides sufficient time delay for the modulesto complete their internal soft-start initialization. The output voltage of each module remains at zero until the trackcontrol voltage is allowed to rise. When U3 removes the ground signal, the track control voltage automaticallyrises. This causes the output voltage of each module to rise simultaneously with the other modules, until eachreaches its respective set-point voltage.
Figure 17 shows the output voltage waveforms from the circuit of Figure 15 after input voltage is applied to thecircuit. The waveforms, V

The same circuit also provides a power-down sequence. When the input voltage falls below U3's voltagethreshold, 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 17 . In order for a simultaneous power-down tooccur, the track inputs must be pulled low before the input voltage has fallen below the modules' undervoltagelockout. This is an important constraint. Once the modules recognize that a valid input voltage is no longerpresent, their outputs can no longer follow the voltage applied at their track input. During a power-downsequence, the fall in the output voltage from the modules is limited by the maximum output capacitance and theAuto-Track slew rate.

Notes on Use of Auto-Track
TM
1. The Track pin voltage must be allowed to rise above the module set-point voltage before the moduleregulates at its adjusted set-point voltage.2. The Auto-Track function tracks almost any voltage ramp during power up, and is compatible with rampspeeds of up to 1 V/ms.3. The absolute maximum voltage that may be applied to the Track pin is the input voltage V
I
.4. The module cannot follow a voltage at its track control input until it has completed its soft-start initialization.This takes about 40 ms from the time that a valid voltage has been applied to its input. During this period, itis 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 (V
I
). When Auto-Track isdisabled, the output voltage rises at a quicker and more linear rate after input power has been applied.
The capability to start up into an output prebias condition is now available to all the 12-V input, PTH series ofpower modules. (Note that this is a feature enhancement for the many of the W-suffix products).
[1]
A prebias startup condition occurs as a result of an external voltage being present at the output of a powermodule prior to its output becoming active. This often occurs in complex digital systems when current fromanother power source is backfed through a dual-supply logic component, such as an FPGA or ASIC. Anotherpath might be via clamp diodes, sometimes used as part of a dual-supply power-up sequencing arrangement. Aprebias can cause problems with power modules that incorporate synchronous rectifiers. This is because undermost operating conditions, such modules can sink as well as source output current. The 12-V input PTH modulesall incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but will not sink current during startup, or whenever the Inhibit pin is heldlow. Startup includes an initial delay (approximately 8 ms 15 ms), followed by the rise of the output voltageunder the control of the module s internal soft-start mechanism; see Figure 18 .

CONDITIONS FOR PREBIAS HOLDOFF
In order for the module to allow an output prebias voltage to exist (and not sink current), certain conditions mustbe maintained. The module holds off a prebias voltage when the Inhibit pin is held low, and whenver the output isallowed to rise under soft-start control. Power up under soft-start control occurs upon the removal of the groundsignal to the Inhibit pin (with input voltage applied), or when input power is applied with Auto-Track disabled.
[2]
Tofurther ensure that the regulator doesn t sink output current, (even with a ground signal applied to its Inhibit), theinput voltage must always be greater than the applied prebias source. This condition must exist throughout thepower-up sequence.
[3]
The soft-start period is complete when the output begins rising above the prebias voltage. Once it is complete,the module functions as normal, and sinks current if voltage higher than the nominal regulation value is appliedto its output.
Note: If a prebias condition is not present, the soft-start period is complete when the output voltage has risento either the set-point voltage, or the voltage applied at the module s Track control pin, whichever is lowest.
DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT
Figure 19 shows the startup waveforms for the demonstration circuit shown in Figure 20 . The initial rise in V
O
2 isthe prebias voltage, which is passed from the VCCIO to the VCORE voltage rail through the ASIC. Note that theoutput current from the PTH12010L module (I
O
2) is negligible until its output voltage rises above the appliedprebias.
Figure 19. Prebias Startup Waveforms
NOTES
1. Output prebias holdoff is an inherent feature to all PTH120x0L and PTV120x0W/L modules. It has now beenincorporated into all modules (including W-suffix modules with part numbers of the form PTH120x0W), with aproduction lot date code of 0423 or later.2. The prebias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track. If the rise in the output is limited by thevoltage applied to the Track control pin, the output sinks current during the period that the track controlvoltage is below that of the back-feeding source. For this reason, it is recommended that Auto-Track bedisabled when not being used. This is accomplished by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage, V
I
. Thisraises the Track pin voltage well above the set-point voltage prior to the module s start up, thereby defeatingthe Auto-Track feature.3. To further ensure that the regulator s output does not sink current when power is first applied (even with aground signal applied to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage must always be greater than the appliedprebias source. This condition must exist throughout the power-up sequence of the power system.

Figure 20. Application Circuit Demonstrating Prebias Startup
The PTH12060, PTH12010, PTH12020, and PTH12030 products incorporate Margin Up and Margin Downcontrol inputs. These controls allow the output voltage to be momentarily adjusted
[1]
, either up or down, by anominal 5%. This provides a convenient method for dynamically testing the operation of the load circuit over itssupply margin or range. It can also be used to verify the function of supply voltage supervisors. The ± 5% changeis applied to the adjusted output voltage, as set by the external resistor, R
SET
at the V
O
Adjust pin.
The 5% adjustment is made by pulling the appropriate margin control input directly to the GND terminal.
[2]
Alow-leakage open-drain device, such as an n-channel MOSFET or p-channel JFET is recommended for thispurpose.
[3]
Adjustments of less than 5% can also be accommodated by adding series resistors to the controlinputs. The value of the resistor can be selected from Table 6 , or calculated using the following formula.
MARGIN UP/DOWN ADJUST RESISTANCE CALCULATION
To reduce the margin adjustment to a value less than 5%, series resistors are required (See R
D
and R
U
inFigure 21 ). For the same amount of adjustment, the resistor value calculated for R
U
and R
D
is the same. Theformula is as follows.
Where Δ% = The desired amount of margin adjust in percent.

MARGIN UP/DOWN NOTES1. The Margin Up and Margin Down controls were not intended to be activated simultaneously. If they are theiraffects on the output voltage may not completely cancel, resulting in the possibility of a slightly higher error inthe output voltage set point.2. The ground reference should be a direct connection to the module GND at pin 7 (pin 1 for the PTHxx050).This will produce a more accurate adjustment at the load circuit terminals. The transistors Q1 and Q2 shouldbe located close to the regulator.3. The Margin Up and Margin Down control inputs are not compatible with devices that source voltage. Thisincludes TTL logic. These are analog inputs and should only be controlled with a true open-drain device(preferably discrete MOSFET transistor). The device selected should have low off-state leakage current.Each input sources 8 µ A when grounded, and has an open-circuit voltage of 0.8 V.
