Pin Descriptions
Vin: The positive input voltage power node to the mod-
ule, 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 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
open-circuit, the module will produce an output whenever a valid input source is applied.
Vo Adjust: A 0.1 W 1 % resistor must be directly connected
between this pin and pin 7 (GND) to set the output voltage
to a 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 0.8 V to 2.5 V.
The resistor value required for a given output voltage
may be calculated from the following formula. If left
open circuit, the output voltage will default to its lowest
value. For further information on output voltage adjustment, consult the related application note.

Vo Sense: The sense input allows the regulation circuit to
compensate for voltage drop between the module and
the load. For optimal voltage accuracy Vo Sense should be
connected to Vout. It can also be left disconnected.
Track: 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 will follow 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 V
. Note: Due to the under-voltage lockout
in
feature, the output of the module cannot follow its own input
voltage during power up. For more information, consult the
related application note.
Margin Down: When this input is asserted to GND, the
output voltage is decreased by 5% from the nominal. The
input requires an open-collector (open-drain) interface.
It is not TTL compatible. A lower percent change can
be accomodated with a series resistor. If unused, this
input may be left unconnected. For further information,
consult the related application note.
Margin Up: When this input is asserted to GND, the
output voltage is increased by 5%. The input requires an
open-collector (open-drain) interface. It is not TTL
compatible. The percent change can be reduced with a
series resistor. If unused, this input may be left unconnected. For further information, consult the related
application note.

PTH03010W & PTH05010W
Capacitor Recommendations for the PTH03010 &
PTH05010 Series of Power Modules
Input Capacitor
The recommended input capacitor(s) is determined by
the 470 µF minimum capacitance and 700 mArms minimum ripple current rating.
Ripple current, less than 100 mΩ equivalent series resis-
tance (ESR), and temperature are the major considerations
when selecting input capacitors. Unlike polymer tantalum,
regular tantalum capacitors have a recommended mini-
mum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum DC voltage + AC
ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability.
For improved ripple reduction on the input bus, ceramic
capacitors
to achieve the minimum required capacitance.
Output Capacitors (Optional)
For applications with load transients (sudden changes in
load current), regulator response will benefit from an
external output capacitance. The recommended output
capacitance of 330 µF will allow the module to meet
its transient response specification (see product 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. For operation below 0 °C tantalum, ceramic
or Os-Con type capacitors are recommended. When using
one or more non-ceramic capacitors, the calculated equiva-
lent 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 1-1.
Ceramic Capacitors
Above 150 kHz the performance of aluminum electrolytic
capacitors becomes less effective. To further improve the
reflected input ripple
response, multilayer ceramic capacitors can also be added.
Ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and their resonant
frequency is higher than the bandwidth of the regulator.
When used on the output their combined ESR is not
critical as long as the total value of ceramic capacitance
does not exceed 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 be used at both the input
and output, 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/
[1]
may used to complement electrolytic types
[1]
current or the output transient
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 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/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’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, or the total amount of load
capacitance is above 3,000 µF, the selection of output
capacitors becomes more important. For further guidance
consult the separate application note, “Selecting Output
Capacitors for PTH Products in High-Performance Applications.”

Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTH03010W &
PTH05010W Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
The Vo Adjust control (pin 4) sets the output voltage of
the PTH03010W and PTH05010W products. The
adjustment range of the PT03010W (3.3-V input) is
1
from 0.8 V to 2.5 V
, and the PTH05010W (5-V input)
from 0.8 V to 3.6 V. The adjustment method requires the
addition of a single external resistor, R
, that must be
set
connected directly between the Vo Adjust and GND pins 2.
Table 2-1 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.
For other output voltages the value of the required resistor
can either be calculated using the following formula, or
simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2-2.

PTH Series of Wide-Output Adjust
Power Modules (3.3/5-V Input)
Features of the PTH Family of Non-Isolated
Wide Output Adjust Power Modules
Point-of-Load Alliance
The PTH family of non-isolated, wide-output adjust
power modules from Texas Instruments are optimized
for applications that require a flexible, high performance
module that is small in size. These products are part of
the “Point-of-Load Alliance” (POLA), which ensures
compatible footprint, interoperability and true second
sourcing for customer design flexibility. The POLA is a
collaboration between Texas Instruments, Artesyn Technologies, and Astec Power to offer customers advanced
non-isolated modules that provide the same functionality
and form factor. Product series covered by the alliance
includes the PTHxx050W (6 A), PTHxx060W (10 A),
PTHxx010W (15/12 A), PTHxx020W (22/18 A), and
the PTHxx030W (30/26 A).
From the basic, “Just Plug it In” functionality of the 6-A
modules, to the 30-A rated feature-rich PTHxx030W,
these products were designed to be very flexible, yet simple
to use. The features vary with each product. Table 3-1
provides a quick reference to the available features by
product and input bus voltage.
Table 3-1; Operating Features by Series and Input Bus Voltage
output current, PTHxx020W and PTHxx030W products
incorporate over-temperature shutdown protection. All
of the products referenced in Table 3-1 include AutoTrack™. This is a feature unique to the PTH family,
and was specifically designed to simplify the task of sequencing the supply voltage in a power system. These
and other features are described in the following sections.
Soft-Start Power Up
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
should be directly connected to the input voltage, V
(see Figure 3-1).

For simple point-of-use applications, the PTHxx050W

Thermal Shutdown
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.

Application Notes
PTH Series of Wide-Output Adjust
Power Modules (3.3/5-V Input)
From the moment a valid input voltage is applied, the
soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically
5 ms-10 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise.
The output then progressively rises to the module’s setpoint voltage. Figure 3-2 shows the soft-start power-up
characteristic of the 22-A output product (PTH05020W),
operating from a 5-V input bus and configured for a 3.3-V
output. The waveforms were measured with a 5-A resistive
load, with Auto-Track 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 15 ms.
Over-Current Protection
For protection against load faults, all modules incorporate
output over-current protection. Applying a load that
exceeds the regulator’s over-current threshold will cause
the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown
a module will periodically attempt to recover by initiating
a soft-start power-up. This is described as a “hiccup” mode
of operation, whereby the module continues in a 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.
Over-Temperature Protection
The PTHxx020 and PTHxx030 series of products have
over-temperature protection. These products have an
on-board temperature sensor that 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, the
module’s Inhibit control is automatically pulled low. This
turns the output off. The output voltage will drop 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.
Output On/Off Inhibit
For applications requiring output voltage on/off control,
each series of the PTH family incorporates 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
pin is left open-circuit, providing a regulated output
whenever a valid source voltage is connected to V
with
in
respect to GND.
Figure 3-3 shows the typical application of the inhibit
function. Note the discrete transistor (Q
). The Inhibit
1
control has its own internal pull-up to Vin potential. The
input is not compatible with TTL logic devices. An opencollector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended
for control.

Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control

PTH Series of Wide-Output Adjust
Power Modules (3.3/5-V Input)
Auto-Track™ Function
The Auto-Track function is unique to the PTH family,
and is available with the all “Point-of-Load Alliance”
(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, micro-processors, and ASICs.
How Auto-Track Works
Auto-Track works by forcing the module’s output voltage
to follow a voltage presented at the Track control pin. This
control range is limited to between 0 V and the module’s
set-point voltage. Once the track-pin voltage is raised
above the set-point voltage, the module’s output remains
at its set-point
regulator is at 1 V, the regulated output will be 1 V. But
if the voltage at the Track pin rises to 3 V, the regulated
output will not go higher than 2.5 V.
When under track control, the regulated output from
the module follows the voltage at its Track pin on a voltfor-volt basis. By connecting the Track pin of a number
of these modules together, the output voltages will 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
porates an internal RC charge circuit. This operates off
the module’s input voltage to provide a suitable rising
voltage ramp waveform.
Typical Application
The basic implementation of Auto-Track allows for
simultaneous voltage sequencing of a number of AutoTrack 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; Q1 in Figure 3-5.
To initiate a power-up sequence the Track control must
first pulled to ground potential. This should be 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, which enables them to produce an output
voltage.
Applying a logic-level high signal to the circuit’s On/Off
Control turns Q
Track control. After completing their internal soft-start
intialization, the output of all modules will remain at zero
volts while Q1 is on. 10 ms after a valid input voltage has
been applied to all modules, Q1 can be turned off. This
allows the track control voltage to automatically rise
toward to the modules' input voltage. During this period
the output voltage of each module will rise in unison with
1
. As an example, if the Track pin of a 2.5-V

. For convenience the Track control incor-
on and applies a ground signal to the
1
other modules, to its respective set-point voltage.
Figure 3-6 shows the output voltage waveforms from the
circuit of Figure 3-5 after the On/Off Control is set from a
high to a low-level voltage. The waveforms, Vo
and Vo
1
represent the output voltages from the two power modules, U1 (3.3 V) and U2 (1.8 V) respectively. Vo1 and Vo
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 Q
be turned off relatively slowly. This
1
is so that the Track control voltage does not fall faster than
Auto-Track's slew rate capability, which is 1 V/ms. The
components R1 and C1 in Figure 3-5 limit the rate at
which Q1 can pull down the Track control voltage. The
values of 100 k-ohm 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 3-7 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’s set-point voltage before the module can
regulate at its adjusted set-point voltage.
2. The Auto-Track function will track almost any voltage
ramp during power up, and is compatible with ramp
speeds of up to 1 V/ms.
3. The absolute maximum voltage that may be applied to the
Track pin is V
4. The module will not 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 the module
has sensed that a valid voltage has been applied 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 pin.
Therefore startup into an output prebias is not supported
during Auto-Track control.
not necessary when all supply voltages rise simultaneously
under the control of Auto-Track.
6. The Auto-Track function can be disabled by connecting
the Track pin to the input voltage (V

more linear rate after input power is applied.

. Adjustments of less than 5 % can also be accommodated by adding series resistors to the control inputs.
The value of the resistor can be selected from Table 3-2,

To reduce the margin adjustment to something less than

Notes:
1. The Margin Up* and Margin Dn* controls were not
intended to be activated simultaneously. If they are
their affects on the output voltage may not completely
cancel, resulting in the possibility of a slightly higher
error in the 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 Q

3. The Margin Up and Margin Dn control inputs are not
compatible with devices that source voltage. This includes
TTL logic. These are analog inputs and should only be
controlled with a true open-drain device (preferably
a discrete MOSFET transistor). The device selected

sources 8 µA when grounded, and has an open-circuit
voltage of 0.8 V.

PTH Series of Wide-Output Adjust
Power Modules (3.3/5-V Input)
Pre-Bias Startup Capability
Only selected products in the PTH family incorporate this
capability. Consult Table 3-1 to identify which products
are compliant.
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 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, these types of
modules can sink as well as source output current.
The PTH family of power modules incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but will not sink current during startup
or whenever the Inhibit pin is held low. However, to ensure
satisfactory operation of this function, certain conditions
must be maintained. 2 Figure 3-9 shows an application
demonstrating the pre-bias startup capability. The startup waveforms are shown in Figure 3-10. Note that the
output current from the PTH03010W (Io) shows negligible current until its output voltage rises above that
backfed through diodes D1 and D2.
Note: The pre-bias start-up feature is not compatible with
Auto-Track. When the module is under Auto-Track control,
it will sink current if the output voltage is below that of a
back-feeding source. To ensure a pre-bias hold-off one of two
approaches must be followed when input power is applied to
the module. The Auto-Track function must either be disabled 3,
or the module’s output held off (for at least 50 ms) using the
Inhibit pin. Either approach ensures that the Track pin voltage is above the set-point voltage at start up.
1
Notes
1. Startup includes the short delay (approx. 10 ms) prior
to the output voltage rising, followed by the rise of the
output voltage under the module’s internal soft-start
control. Startup is complete when the output voltage
has risen to either the set-point voltage or the voltage
at the Track pin, whichever is lowest.
2. To ensure that the regulator does not sink current when
power is first applied (even with a ground signal applied
to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage
be greater than the output voltage
throughout the
power-up and power-down sequence.
3. The Auto-Track function can be disabled at power up
by immediately applying a voltage to the module’s Track
pin that is greater than its set-point voltage. This can

be easily accomplished by connecting the Track pin to

Remote Sense
The PTHxx060W, PTHxx010W, PTHxx020W, and
PTHxx030W products incorporate an output voltage
sense pin, Vo Sense. The Vo Sense pin should be connected
to V
at the load circuit (see data sheet standard appli-
out
cation). A remote sense improves the load regulation
performance of the module by allowing it to compensate
for any ‘IR’ voltage drop between itself and the load. An
IR drop is caused by the high output current flowing
through the small amount of pin and trace resistance.
Use of the remote sense is optional. If not used, the
Vo Sense pin can be left open-circuit. An internal low-
value resistor (15-Ω or less) is connected between the
Vo Sense and V
in regulation.
With the sense pin connected, the difference between
the voltage measured directly between the V
pins, and that measured from Vo 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 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 connection they are effectively placed
inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect
the stability of the regulator.
