Description
The PT5810 Excalibur™ series of integrated
switching regulators (ISRs) combines outstanding power density with a comprehensive list of
features. They are an ideal choice for applications
where board space is a premium and performance
cannot be compromised. These modules provide
a full 20 A of output current, yet are housed in a
low-profile, 18-pin, package that is almost half
the size of the previous product generation. The
integral copper case construction requires no
heatsink, and offers the advantages of solderability and a small footprint (0.736 in² for suffix ‘N’).
Both through-hole and surface mount pin configurations are available.
The PT5810 series operates from a 3.3-V input
bus to provide a convenient point-of-load power
source for the industry’s latest high-performance
DSPs and microprocessors. The series includes
output voltage options as low as 1.0 VDC.
Other features include external output voltage
adjustment, a ±5 % margin control, on/off inhibit,
short circuit protection, thermal shutdown, and a
differential remote sense.

Integrated Switching Regulator
Pin Descriptions
Vin: The positive supply voltage input for the module
with respect to the common ground (GND).
Vout: This is the regulated output voltage from the module with respect to the common ground (GND).
GND: The common node to which the input, output, and
external control signals are referenced.
Sense(–): Provides the regulator with the ability to sense
the set-point voltage directly across the load. For optimum
output voltage accuracy this pin should
nected to GND, even for applications that demand a
relatively light load.
Sense(+): When used with 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 V
will optimize load regulation.

Inhibit*: This is an open-collector (open-drain) negative
logic input that is referenced to GND. Pulling this pin to
GND disables the module’s output voltage. If Inhibit* is
left open-circuit, the output will be active whenever a
valid input source is applied.

Margin Dn*: When this open-collector (open-drain) input

in applications where the load circuit must be tested for
operation at the extreme values of its supply voltage
tolerance.
Margin Up*: This is an open-collector (open-drain) input.
When this is asserted to GND, the output voltage is
automatically increased by 5 % from the nominal.

Application Notes
PT5800 & PT5810 Series
Operating Features and System Considerations
for the PT5800 & PT5810 Regulator Series
The PT5800 (5-V input) and the PT5810 (3.3-V input)
series of integrated switching regulators (ISRs) provide
step-down voltage conversion for output loads of up to
20 A.
Power up & Soft-Start Timing
Following either the application of a valid input source
voltage, or the removal of a ground signal to the Inhihit*
control pin (with input power applied), the regulator will
initiate a soft-start power up. The soft start slows the
rate at which the output voltage rises, and also introduces a
short time delay, td (approx. 2 ms). Figure 1-1 shows the
power-up characteristic of a PT5801 (3.3 V) with a 10-A
load.
Figure 1-1
Vo (2V/Div)
Vin (2V/Div)
With the sense leads connected, the difference between
the voltage measured at V
and GND pins, and that
out
measured from Sense(+) to Sense(–), is the amount of IR
drop being compensated by the regulator. This should
be limited to 0.6 V. (0.3 V maximum between pins 17 &
18, and also between pins 8 & 9).
Note: The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate
for the forward drop of non-linear or frequency dependent
components that may be placed in series with the converter
output. Examples include OR-ing diodes, filter inductors,
ferrite beads, and fuses. When these components are enclosed
by the remote sense connections they are effectively placed
inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect
the stability of the regulator.
Over-Current Protection
To protect against load faults, the regulators incorporate
output over-current protection. Applying a load that
exceeds the regulator’s over-current threshold (see data
sheet specifications) will cause the regulated output to
shut down. Following shutdown the ISR 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
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 converter automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.

d
HORIZ SCALE: 5ms/Div
Differential Remote Sense
Connecting the Sense(+) and Sense(-) pins to the load
circuit allows the regulator to compensate for limited
amounts of ‘IR’ voltage drop. This voltage drop is caused
by current flowing through the connection resistance
between the regulator and the ‘point of regulation’ some
distance away. Leaving the sense pins disconnected will
not damage the regulator or load circuitry. An internal
15 Ω resistor, connected between each sense pin and its
corresponding output node, keeps the output voltage in
regulation. However, it is important to connect Sense(–)
to GND locally, as this provides a return path for the
regulator’s internal bias currents.
Over-Temperature Protection
An on-board temperature sensor protects the module’s
internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures.
A rise in the internal temperature may be the result of a
drop in airflow, or a high ambient temperature. If the
internal temperature exceeds the OTP threshold (see
data sheet specifications), the regulator’s Inhibit* control
is automatically pulled low. This disables the regulator,
allowing the output voltage to drop to zero as the external output capacitors are discharged by the load circuit.
The recovery is automatic, and begins with a soft-start
power up. It occurs when the the sensed temperature
decreases by about 10 °C below the trip point.
Note: The over-temperature 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 will reduce the long-term reliability of the module.
Always operate the regulator within the specified Safe Operating
Area (SOA) limits for the worst-case conditions of ambient
temperature and airflow.
