Refer to the PT4474 specification table for the performance of the regulator/booster combination. The PT4494 is a 20-A "Current Booster" module designed specifically for the PT4474 programmable DC/DC converter. The booster is controlled directly by the regulator, and effectively adds an additional output stage that operates in parallel. This allows the system to run sychronously, providing a low noise solution. Up to two booster modules can be connected to a PT4474 converter. Each booster module increases the available output current by 20A. A combination of one PT4474 converter and two PT4494 booster modules can supply up to 60A of output current; enough to supply a large multiprocessor system. Figure 1-1 shows the connection schematic for the regulator and current booster combination. 2. The pin-out of the current booster modules include a number pins identified, "Do not connect" (see Table 1-1). These pins are not connected internally to the module but must be soldered to a pad to preserve the unit's mechanical integrity. 3. A minimum of 150F of output capacitance is required across the output of each PT4494 booster for proper operation. A value greater than 150F will further reduce transients due to large and/or fast load steps. 4. The converter and all boosters must be located on the same printed circuit board. A similar footprint and trace layout for each module will also facilitate current sharing. Table 1-1; Booster Pin-Out Information A current booster is not a stand-alone product, and can only operate with a regulator. It is housed in the same package as its compatible regulator, and shares the same mechanical outline. Except for an increase in output current, the overall performance of a converter/booster combination is identical to that of a stand-alone converter.

Below this voltage, the module's output is held off, irrespective of the state of the Inhibit control (pin 3). If the Inhibit control is connected to -Vin (pin 2), the module will automatically power up when the input voltage rises above the UVLO threshold. The UVLO allows the module to produce a clean transition during both power-up and power-down, even when the input voltage is rising or falling slowly. It also reduces the 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 UVLO threshold includes about 2V of hysteresis. Once operational, the converter will conform to its operating specifications when the minimum specified input voltage is reached. Over-Current Protection To protect against load faults, the PT4470/80 series of DC/DC converters incorporate an output current limit. Once the load current drawn from the module reaches the current limit threshold, any attempt by the load to draw additional current will result in a significant drop in the module's regulated output voltage. The current limit circuitry incorporates a limited amount of foldback. This has the effect of slightly reducing the output current from the module when supplying an absolute short circuit. Upon removal of the load fault, the output voltage from the converter will automatically recover to its programmed regulation voltage. Output Over-Voltage Protection The PT4470/80 series of DC/DC converters incorporate circuitry that continually senses the output for an overvoltage (OV) condition. The OV threshold automatically tracks the VID output voltage program setting to a level 25% higher than that programmed at the control pins, VID0 through VID4. If the converter output voltage exceeds the OV 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 is accomplished by either cycling the status of the Inhibit control (pin 3) from "On" to "Off" and then back "On" again, or 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. For technical support and more information, see inside back cover or visit www.ti.com 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 the specified limit (see applicable data sheet), the converter will shut down. The converter will then automatically restart when the sensed temperature drops by about 10C. 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. Primary-Secondary Isolation Electrical isolation is provided between the input terminals (primary) and the output terminals (secondary). All converters are production tested to a primary-secondary withstand voltage of 1500VDC. This specification complies with UL60950 and EN60950 and the requirements for operational isolation. Operational isolation allows these converters to be configured for either a positive or negative input voltage source. The data sheet `Pin-Out Information' uses shading to indicate which pins are associated with the primary. They include pins 1 through 5, inclusive. 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 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. Application Notes PT4470, PT4480 Series Using the Inhibit Function on the PT4470 & PT4480 Series of Isolated DC/DC Converters The PT4470/44480 series of DC/DC converters incorporate an On/Off Inhibit function. This function may be used in applications that demand battery conservation, power-up/shutdown sequencing, and/or to coordinate power-up for active in-rush current control. The On/Off feature is provided by the Inhibit control, pin 3. The Inhibit pin of the PT4470/4480 series of converters is an active low enable. The pin must be either connected, or actively pulled low, to -Vin (pin 2) to enable the converter output (see standard application schematic). When pins 2 & 3 are connected, the converter provides a regulated output whenever a valid source voltage3 is applied between +Vin (pin 1), and -Vin (pin 2). If pin 3 is disconnected, or allowed to become high impedance, the regulator output will be disabled. 5 Table 2-1 provides details of the interface requirements for the Inhibit pin. Figure 2-1 shows how a discrete MOSFET (Q1) 4, may be referenced to -Vin and used to control the input. Table 2-1 Inhibit Control Requirements Parameter Min Max Enable (VIH) Disable (VIL) -0.5V 2.5V 0.8V (Open Circuit) Notes: 1. The Inhibit control uses -Vin (pin 2), on the primary side of the converter, as its ground reference. All voltages specified are with respect to -Vin. 6. Keep the on/off transition to less than 1ms. This prevents erratic operation of the ISR, whereby the output voltage may drift un-regulated between 0V and the rated output during power-up.

The actual turn-on time will vary with the input voltage, output load, and the total amount of capacitance connected to the output. Using the circuit of Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2 shows the typical output voltage and input current waveforms of a PT4472 after Q 1 is turned on. The turn on of Q1 correlates to the fall in Vinh. The output voltage was set to 2.5V. The waveform was measured with a 48-Vdc input voltage, and 15-A load current. Figure 2-2 2. The internal circuitry is simple pull-up resistor. The open-circuit voltage may be as high as 6.5Vdc. 3. These converters incorporate an "Under-Voltage Lockout" (UVLO) function. This function automatically disables the converter output until there is sufficient input voltage to produce a regulated output. Table 2 gives the applicable UVLO thresholds.

The Inhibit input must be controlled with an opencollector (or open-drain) discrete transistor or MOSFET. Do not use a pull-up resistor. Vinh (5V/Div) HORIZ SCALE: 5ms/Div 5. When the converter output is disabled, the current drawn from the input supply is typically reduced to 4mA (10mA maximum).
