Using double-sided surface mount construction and synchronous rectification technology, these regulators deliver up to 6 A of output current while occupying a PCB area of about half the size of a standard postage stamp. They are an ideal choice for applications where space, performance and cost are important design constraints. The series operates from an input voltage of 12 V to provide step-down power conversion to a wide range of output voltages. W-suffix devices are adjustable from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, and L-suffix devices are adjustable from 0.8 V to 1.8 V. The out- put voltage is set within the adjustment range using a single external resistor. Operating features include an on/off inhibit, output voltage adjust (trim), and the ability to start up into an existing output voltage or prebias. A non-latching over-current trip provides protection against load faults. Target applications include telecom, industrial, and general purpose circuits, including low-power dual-voltage systems that use a DSP, microprocessor, or ASIC. Package options include both throughhole and surface mount configurations.

Pin Descriptions Vin: The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND. Vout: The regulated positive power output with respect to the GND node. GND: This is the common ground connection for the `Vin' and `Vout' power connections. It is also the 0 VDC reference for the `Inhibit' and `Vo Adjust' control inputs. Inhibit: The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain negative logic input that is referenced to GND. Applying a lowlevel ground signal to this input disables the module's 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 pin is left opencircuit, the module will produce an output whenever a valid input source is applied.

(2) The pk-pk output ripple voltage is measured with an external 10 F ceramic capacitor. See the standard application schematic. (3) The Inhibit control (pin 3) has an internal pull-up to Vin, and if left open-circuit the module will operate when input power is applied. A small lowleakage (<100 nA) MOSFET is recommended to control this input. See application notes for more information. (4) The regulator requires a minimum of 100 F input capacitor with a minimum 750 mArms ripple current rating. For further information, consult the related application note on Capacitor Recommendations. (5) An external output capacitor is not required for basic operation. Adding 100 F of distributed capacitance at the load will improve the transient response. (6) This is the calculated maximum. The minimum ESR limitation will often result in a lower value. Consult the application notes for further guidance. (7) This is the typical ESR for all the electrolytic (non-ceramic) output capacitance. Use 7 m as the minimum when using max-ESR values to calculate.

For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com Application Notes PTH12000 Series Capacitor Recommendations for the PTH12000 Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules Input Capacitor The recommended input capacitance is determined by the 100 F minimum capacitance and 750 mArms minimum ripple current rating. A 10-F X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor may also be added to reduce the reflected input ripple current [3]. The ceramic capacitor should be located between the input electrolytic and the module. Ripple current, less than 150 m equivalent series resistance (ESR) and temperature are major considerations when selecting input capacitors. Unlike polymer-tantalum capacitors, regular tantalum capacitors have a recommended minimum voltage rating of 2 x (max. DC voltage + AC ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability. No tantalum capacitors were found with 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 Capacitors (Optional) For applications with load transients (sudden changes in load current), regulator response will benefit from external output capacitance. The value of 100 F is used to define the transient response specification (see data sheet). 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 for ambient temperatures above 0 C. Below 0 C, tantalum, ceramic or Os-Con type capacitors are recommended. When using one or more non-ceramic 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 are identified in Table 1-1. In addition to electrolytic capacitance, adding a 10-F X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to the output will reduce the output ripple voltage and improve the regulator's transient response. The measurement of both the output ripple and transient response is also best achieved across a 10-F ceramic capacitor. Ceramic Capacitors Above 150 kHz the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective. Multilayer ceramic capacitors have very 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 [3] and 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 300 F. Also, to prevent the formation of local resonances, do not place more than five identical ceramic capacitors in parallel with values of 10 F or greater. For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com Tantalum Capacitors Tantalum type capacitors are most suited for use 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 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 lower power dissipation and surge current ratings. Tantalum capacitors that do not have a 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 will be encountered well before the maximum capacitance value is reached. Capacitor Table Table 1-1 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. 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 insure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor life. Designing for Very 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/s. 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's 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, the selection of output capacitors becomes more important.

During the power-up period, internal soft-start circuitry slows the rate that the output voltage rises. This reduces the in-rush current drawn from the input source. The soft-start circuitry also introduces a short time delay (typically 12 ms) into the power-up characteristic. The delay is from the point that a valid input source is recognized, to the initial rise of the output voltage. Figure 3-1 shows the powerup characteristic of the PTH12000W with the output voltage set to 5-V. The waveforms were measured with a 2-A resistive load. The initial rise in input current when the input voltage first starts to rise is the charge current drawn by the input capacitors. Figure 3-1 The power modules function normally when the Inhibit pin is left open-circuit, providing a regulated output whenever a valid source voltage is connected to Vin with respect to GND. Figure 3-2 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit pin has its own internal pull-up to V in potential. An open-collector or open-drain device is recommended to control this input. 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 will execute a soft-start power-up. A regulated output voltage is produced within 25 msec. Figure 3-3 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the turn-off of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, Vinh. The waveforms were measured with a 5-V output and 2-A resistive load.

Applying a load that exceeds the module's over-current threshold will cause the regulated output to shut down. Following shut down the module will periodically attempt to 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 shut down 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.

(Note: This is a feature enhancement for the the W-suffix version; see note 1). the Inhibit pin is held low, and whenver the output is allowed to rise under soft-start control. Power up under soft-start control occurs upon the removal of the ground signal to the Inhibit pin (with input voltage applied), or when input power is applied. To further ensure that the regulator doesn't sink output current, (even with a ground signal applied to its Inhibit), the input voltage must always be greater than the applied pre-bias source. This condition must exist throughout the power-up sequence 3. A pre-bias startup 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 PTH12000x series of modules incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but will not sink current during startup, or whenever the Inhibit pin is held low. Startup includes an initial delay (approx. 8 - 15 ms), followed by the rise of the output voltage under the control of the module's internal soft-start mechanism; see Figure 3-1. The soft-start period is complete when the output begins rising above the pre-bias voltage. Once it is complete the module functions as normal, and will sink current if a voltage higher than the nominal regulation value is applied to its output. Note: If a pre-bias condition is not present, the soft-start period will be complete when the output voltage has risen to either the set-point voltage. Demonstration Circuit The circuit shown in Figure 3-4 is a demonstrates the pre-bias startup feature. Figure 3-5 shows the startup waveforms. The initial rise in Vo 2 is the pre-bias voltage, which is passed from the VCCIO to the VCORE voltage rail through the ASIC. Note that the output current from the PTH12000L module (Io2) is negligible until its output voltage rises above the applied pre-bias. Conditions for Pre-Bias Holdoff In order for the module to allow an output pre-bias voltage to exist (and not sink current), certain conditions must be maintained. The module holds off a pre-bias voltage when Figure 3-4; Application Circuit Demonstrating Pre-Bias Startup 10 9 VIN = 12 V 2 5 8 Up Dn Track Sense PTH12020W VIN Inhibit Adjust GND 3 7 1 VO 2 R3 11k0 PTH12000L VIN VO 5 Vo2 = 1.8 V + 8 Inh VCC 7 2 1 3 3 SENSE RESET 5 TL7702B REF RESET 6 CT C5 0.1 F C6 0.68 F 4 GND Adj 1 Io2 4 R2 130 RESIN 330 F VCCIO VCORE + C3 + C4 330 F GND R4 100k 330 F R1 2k 330 F Vo1 = 3.3 V +C 2 4 + C1 6 ASIC R5 10k0 For technical support and further information visit http://power.ti.com Application Notes PTH12000 Series Figure 3-5; Pre-Bias Startup Waveforms Vo 1 (1 V/Div) Vo 2 (1 V/Div) Hold-off Period Io 2 (2 A/Div) HORIZ SCALE: 5 ms/Div Notes 1.

To further ensure that the regulator's output does not sink current when power is first applied (even with a ground signal applied to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage must always be greater than the applied pre-bias source.
