The PTB78520W is a 20-A rated,
wide-input (18-60 V) isolated DC/DC
converter that incorporates Auto-Track™
power-up sequencing. This allows these
modules to simultaneously power up with
any other downstream non-isolated, AutoTrack compliant module.
The PTB78520W module provides
two outputs, each regulated to the same
voltage. During power up, the voltage at
Bus’ rises first, allowing this output
‘V
O
to provide input power to any downstream
non-isolated module. The voltage from
Seq’ is then allowed to rise simulta-
‘V
O
neously, under the control of Auto-Track,
along with the outputs from the downstream modules.
Whether used to facilitate power-up
sequencing, or operated as a stand-alone
module, the PTB78520W includes many
features expected of high-performance
DC/DC converter modules. The combi-

nation of input-output isolation and a
wide-input voltage range, allows operation
from either +24 V or –48 V. The wideoutput adjust enables the output voltage
to be set to to any voltage over the range,
1.8 V to 3.6 V, using a single external
resistor. Precise output voltage regulation is assured using Smart-Sense. This
is a differential remote sense that will
intelligently regulate the sequenced output, depending on its sequence status.
Other operational features include an
input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and
an output enable control. Over-current,
over-voltage, and over-temperature protection assures the module’s ability to
survive any load fault.
Typical applications include distributed
power architectures in both telecom and
computing environments, particularly
complex digital systems requiring powersequencing of multiple power supply rails.

O
when operated in a stand-alone configuration. It is dcisolated from the input power pins and is the first output
to rise when the converter is either powered or enabled.
In power-up sequencing applications, this output can
provide a 3.3-V standby source to power the downstream
non-isolated modules.

converter. This voltage can be directly controlled from
the Track pin. During power up, V

Vo COM: This is the output power return for both the

be connected to the load circuit common.
Track: The voltage at this pin directly controls the voltage
at the ‘V
to sequence the voltage at ‘V
outputs from any downstream non-isolated modules that
are powered from the converter’s ‘+VO Bus’ output. In
these applications, the ‘Track’ pin is simply connected
to the track control of each of the non-isolated modules. The ‘Track’ pin of the PTB78520W has an internal
transistor, which holds it at ‘V
approximately 20 ms after the ‘VO Bus’ output is in
regulation. Following this delay, the ‘Track’ voltage and
‘V
Seq’ will rise simultaneously with the output voltage
O
from all the non-isolated modules, that are under the control of Auto-Track.
Vo Adjust: A resistor must be connected between this pin
and ‘–Sense’ to set the converter’s output voltage. A
0.05-W rated resistor may be used, with tolerance and
temperature stability of 1% and 100 ppm/°C, respectively.
If this pin is left open, the converter output voltage will
default to its lowest value. The specification table gives
the preferred resistor values for the popular bus voltages.
+Sense: The ‘+Sense’ pin can be connected to either the
‘V
Bus’ or ‘VO Seq’ outputs. When connected to ‘VO Seq’,
O
remote sense compensation will be delayed until the
power-up sequence is complete. The voltage at ‘V
will also be raised slightly. The pin may be left open
circuit, but connecting it to one of the output terminals
improves load regulation of that output.
–Sense: Provides the converter with a remote sense capability when used in conjunction with +Sense. For optimum
output voltage accuracy this pin should
to ‘VO COM’. This pin is also the reference connection for the output voltage set-point resistor.
