DESCRIPTION  
The PTH12040W is a high-performance 50-A rated, non-isolated, power module, which uses the latest  
multiphase switched-mode topology. This provides a small, ready-to-use module, that can power the most densly  
populated multiprocessor systems.  
Operating from an input voltage range of 8 V to 14 V, the PTH12040W requires a single resistor to set the output  
voltage to any value over the range, 0.8 V to 5.5 V. The wide input voltage range makes the PTH12040W  
particularly suitable for advanced computing and server applications that utilize a loosely regulated 12-V  
intermediate distribution bus.  
The modules incorporate a comprehensive list of features. They include on/off inhibit and margin up/down  
controls. A differential remote output voltage sense ensures tight load regulation, and an output overcurrent and  
overtemperature shutdown protect against most load faults. The programmable under-voltage lockout allows the  
turn-on and turn-off voltage thresholds to be customized.  
The PTH12040W incorporates Auto-Track™. The Auto-Track feature of the PTH family allows the outputs of  
multiple modules to track a common voltage during power up and power down transitions. This simplifies power  
up and power down supply-voltage sequencing in a power supply system.  
The modules use double-sided surface mount construction to provide a low profile and compact footprint.  
Package options include both through-hole and surface mount configurations.

VO  
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 produces an output whenever a valid input source is applied.  
Inhibit(1)

A 1%, 0.05-W resistor must be connected between this pin and GND to set the output voltage higher  
than the minimum value. The set-point range for the output voltage is from 0.8 V to 5.5 V. The resistor  
required for a given output voltage may be calculated from the following formula. If left open circuit, the  
module output defaults to its lowest output voltage value. For further information on the adjustment  
and/or trimming of the output voltage, see the related Application Information section.

For optimal voltage accuracy, –Sense should be connected to the ground return at the load. If it is left  
open, a low-value internal resistor ensures that the output remains in regulation.  
Connecting a resistor from this pin to signal ground allows the on threshold of the input undervoltage  
lockout (UVLO) to be adjusted higher than the default value. The hysterisis can also be independenly  
reduced by connecting a second resistor from this pin to VI. For further information, see the Application  
Information section.

This is an analog control input that allows the output voltage to follow another voltage during power up  
and power down sequences. The pin is active from 0 V, up to the nominal set-point voltage. Within this  
range, the module output follows 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 nominal output voltage. If unused, this  
input should be connected to VI for a faster power up. For further information, see the Application  
Information section.

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 accommodated with a series resistor. For further information, see the Application Information section.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
Capacitor Recommendations for the PTH12040W Power Module  
The PTH12040W is a state-of-the-art multi-phase power converter topology that uses three parallel switching and  
filter inductor paths between the common input and output filter capacitors. The three paths share the load  
current, operate at the same frequency, and are evenly displaced in phase.  
With multiple switching paths the transient output current capability is significantly increased. This reduces the  
amount of external output capacitance required to support a load transient. As a further benefit, the ripple  
current, as seen by the input and output capacitors, is reduced in magnitude and effectively tripled in frequency.  
Input Capacitor  
The improved transient response of a multi-phase converter places a bigger burden on the transient capability of  
the input source. The size and value of the input capacitor is therefore determined by this converter’s transient  
performance capability. The minimum amount of input capacitance required is 560 µF, with an RMS ripple  
current rating of 300 mA. This minimum value assumes that the converter is supplied with a responsive, low  
inductance input source. This source should have ample capacitive decoupling, and be distributed to the  
converter via PCB power and ground planes. For high-performance applications, or wherever the transient  
performance of the input source is limited, 1000 µF of input capacitance is recommended.  
Ripple current, less than 100 mof equivalent series resistance (ESR), and temperature are the main  
considerations when selecting input capacitors. The ripple current reflected from the input of the PTH12040W  
module is moderate to low. Therefore any good quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitor, of either value  
suggested, has an adequate ripple current rating.  
Regular tantalum capacitors are not recommended for the input bus. These capacitors require a recommended  
minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability. No  
tantalum capacitors were found with a sufficient voltage rating to meet this requirement. When the operating  
temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these applications,  
Os-Con, polyaluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered. Adding one or two ceramic capacitors  
to the input reduces high-frequency reflected ripple current.  
Output Capacitors  
The PTH12040W requires a minimum output capacitance of 660 µF (or 2 × 330 µF), with an ESR of 15 mto  
40 m. This is necessary for the stable operation of the regulator. Additional capacitance can be added to  
improve the module's performance to load transients. High quality computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are  
recommended. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide adequate decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to  
150 kHz, and are suitable when ambient temperatures are above 0°C. For operation below 0°C, tantalum,  
ceramic, or Os-Con type capacitors are necessary.  
When using a combination of one or more nonceramic capacitors, the calculated equivalent ESR should be no  
lower than 2 m(4 mwhen calculating using the manufacturer’s maximum ESR values). A list of preferred  
low-ESR type capacitors are identified in Table 1.  
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 as well as 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 capacitors, with  
values between 10 µF and 100 µF, does not exceed 400 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.

SLTS237ADECEMBER 2004REVISED OCTOBER 2005  
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)  
Tantalum Capacitors  
Tantalum type capacitors are only used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where the  
ambient operating temperature is less than 0°C. The AVX TPS, Sprague 593D/594/595 and Kemet T495/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 higher  
ESR, reduced power dissipation, and lower ripple current capability. These capacitors are also less reliable due  
to their reduced power dissipation and surge current ratings. Tantalum capacitors that have no 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 is encountered  
well before the maximum capacitance value is reached.  
Capacitor Table  
Table 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.  
Note: 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  
mnimum required 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.

Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTH12040W Wide-Output Adjust Power Module  
The VO Adjust control (pin 17) sets the output voltage of the PTH12040W product. The adjustment range is from  
0.8 V to 5.5 V. The adjustment method requires the addition of a single external resistor, RSET, that must be  
connected directly between the VO Adjust and GND pins 1. Table 2 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. Figure 7 shows the placement of the required resistor.  
For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be calculated, or simply selected from the  
range of values given in Table 3. The following formula can be used to calculate the adjust resistor value.

(1) A 0.05-W rated resistor may be used. The tolerance should be 1%, and the temperature stability, 100 ppm/°C (or  
better). Place the resistor as close to the regulator as possible. Connect the resistor directly between pin 17 and  
nearest GND pin (pin 16) using dedicated PCB traces.  
(2) Never connect capacitors from Vo Adjust to either GND or VO. Any capacitance added to the Vo Adjust pin affects the  
stability of the regulator.

Adjusting the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) of the PTH12040W Power Modules  
The PTH12040W power modules incorporate an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The UVLO feature prevents  
the operation of the module until there is sufficient input voltage to produce a valid output voltage. This enables  
the module to provide a clean, monotonic powerup for the load circuit, and also limits the magnitude of current  
drawn from the regulator’s input source during the power-up sequence.  
The UVLO characteristic is defined by the on-threshold (VTHD) and hysterisis (VHYS) voltages. Below the on  
threshold, the Inhibit control is overriden, and the module does not produce an output. The hysterisis voltage is  
the difference between the on and off threshold voltages. It ensures a clean power-up, even when the input  
voltage is rising slowly. The hysterisis prevents start-up oscillations, which can occur if the input voltage droops  
slightly when the module begins drawing current from the input source.

SLTS237ADECEMBER 2004REVISED OCTOBER 2005  
UVLO Adjustment  
The UVLO feature of the PTH12040W module allows for limited adjustment of both the on threshold and  
hysterisis voltages. The adjustment is made via the UVLO Prog control pin. When the UVLO Prog pin is left open  
circuit, the on threshold and hysterisis voltages are internally set to their default values. The on threshold has a  
nominal voltage of 7.5 V, and the hysterisis 1 V. This ensures that the module produces a regulated output when  
the minimum input voltage is applied (see specifications). The combination correlates to an off threshold of  
approximately 6.5 V. The adjustments are limited. The on threshold can only be adjusted higher, and the  
hysterisis voltage can only be reduced in magnitude.  
The on threshold might need to be raised if the module is powered from a tightly regulated 12-V bus. This would  
prevent it from operating if the input bus failed to completely rise to its specified regulation voltage. The hysterisis  
should not be changed unless absolutely necessary. A generous amount of hysterisis ensures that the module  
exhibits a clean startup. Therefore, adjustment of the hysterisis should only be considered if there is a system  
requirement to specifically set the off threshold voltage (in addition to the on threshold). Depending on the load  
regulation of the input source, the hysterisis should not be adjusted below 0.5 V without careful consideration.  
Adjustment Method  
The resistors, RTHD and RHYS (see Figure 8), provide the adjustment of the on-threshold and hysterisis voltages.  
RTHD connects between the UVLO Prog control pin and GND, and RHYS is connected between the UVLO Prog  
and VI. RTHD alone is used to adjust the on-threshold voltage higher. However, to adjust the hystersis to a lower  
value requires both the RHYS and RTHD resistors to be placed in the circuit.  
The recommended adjustment method requires that any change to the hysterisis be determined first. If the  
hysterisis is changed, then a value for RTHD must also be calculated. This is irrespective of whether a change is  
required to the value of VTHD. If there is no change to VHYS, then a resistor should not be placed in the RHYS  
location. RHYS should then be assigned an infinite value for calculating the value of RTHD  
.

Hysterisis Adjust  
The hysterisis voltage, VHYS, is the difference between the on and off threshold values. The default value is 1 V  
and it can only be adjusted to a lower value.  
Caution should be used when changing the hysterisis voltage to a lower value, as it could induce  
start-up oscillations.  
Any change in the hysterisis voltage requires both RHYS and RTHD resistors be in place. Adding RHYS alone does  
not have the desired effect. The value for RHYS must first be calculated using Equation 2. The value identified for  
RHYS must then be used to determine a value for RTHD, using Equation 3.

Equation 3 determines the value of RTHD required to adjust VTHD to a new value. The default value is 7.5 V, and it

be calculated. (This is irrespective of whether VTHD is being adjusted.) If there has been no adjustment for the  
hystersis voltage, the term 1/RHYS in Equation 3, may be assigned the value, 0.

Table 4 shows a matrix of standard resistor values for RHYS and RTHD, for different options of the on-threshold  
(VTHD) and hysterisis (VHYS) voltages. For most applications, only the on-threshold voltage should need to be  
adjusted. In this case select only a value for RTHD from far right-hand column.  
The hysterisis should only be adjusted if there is a specific requirement to independently adjust the off-threshold,  
separately from the on-threshold voltage. In this case, a value for both RHYS and RTHD must be selected from  
Table 4. This is irrespective of whether the on-threshold voltage is being adjusted.

Features of the PTH Family of Non-Isolated Wide Output Adjust Power Modules  
POLA™ Compatibility  
The PTH/PTV family of nonisolated, wide-output adjustable power modules from Texas Instruments are  
optimized for applications that require a flexible, high performance module that is small in size. Each of these  
products are POLA™ compatible. POLA-compatible products are produced by a number of manufacturers, and  
offer customers advanced, non-isolated modules with the same footprint and form factor. POLA parts are also  
assured to be interoperable, thereby providing customers with second-source availability.  
All POLA products include Auto-Track™. This feature was specifically designed to simplify the task of  
sequencing the supply voltages in a power system. This 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, VI (see Figure 9).

Figure 9. Power-Up Application Circuit  
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.  
From the moment a valid input voltage is applied, the soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically  
8 ms–15 ms) before allowing the output voltage to rise.

The output then progressively rises to the module’s setpoint voltage. Figure 10 shows the soft-start power-up  
characteristic of the 18-A output product (PTH12020W), operating from a 12-V input bus and configured for a  
3.3-V output. The waveforms were measured with a 5-A resistive load and the Auto-Track feature 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 25 ms.  
Overcurrent Protection  
For protection against load faults, all modules incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load that  
exceeds the regulator’s overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, a  
module 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.

Overtemperature Protection (OTP)  
The PTH12020, PTH12030, and PTH12040 products have overtemperature 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 internally pulled low. This turns  
the output off. The output voltage drops 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 overtemperature 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 reduces 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 VI with respect to GND.  
Figure 11 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit input  
has its own internal pull-up to a potential of 5 V to 13.2 V (see footnotes to electrical characteristics table). The  
input is not compatible with TTL logic devices. An open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is  
recommended for control.

Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is then

Remote Sense  
Products with this feature incorporate an output voltage sense pin, VO Sense. A remote sense improves the load  
regulation performance of the module by allowing it to compensate for any IR voltage drop between its output  
and the load. An IR drop is caused by the high output current flowing through the small amount of pin and trace  
resistance.  
To use this feature simply connect the VO Sense pin to the VO node, close to the load circuit. If a sense pin is left  
open-circuit, an internal low-value resistor (15-or less) connected between the pin and and the output node,  
ensures the output remains in regulation.  
With the sense pin connected, the difference between the voltage measured directly between the VO and GND  
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 nonlinear 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.  
Auto-Track™ Function  
The Auto-Track function is unique to the PTH/PTV family, and is available with all 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 the TMS320™ DSP  
family, microprocessors, and ASICs.  
How Auto-Track™ Works  
(1)  
Auto-Track works by forcing the module output voltage to follow a voltage presented at the Track control pin  
.
This control range is limited to between 0 V and the module set-point voltage. Once the Track-pin voltage is  
raised above the set-point voltage, the module output remains at its set-point (2). As an example, if the Track pin  
of a 2.5-V regulator is at 1 V, the regulated output is 1 V. If the voltage at the Track pin rises to 3 V, the regulated  
output does not go higher than 2.5 V.  
When under Auto-Track control, the regulated output from the module follows the voltage at its Track pin on a  
volt-for-volt basis. By connecting the Track pin of a number of these modules together, the output voltages 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 (3). For convenience, the Track input  
incorporates an internal RC-charge circuit. This operates off the module input voltage to produce a suitable rising  
waveform at power up.

PTH12040W

SLTS237ADECEMBER 2004REVISED OCTOBER 2005  
Typical Application  
The basic implementation of Auto-Track allows for simultaneous voltage sequencing of a number of Auto-Track  
compliant modules. Connecting the Track inputs of two or more modules forces their Track input to follow the  
same collective RC-ramp waveform, and allows their power-up sequence to be coordinated from a common  
Track control signal. This can be an open-collector (or open-drain) device, such as a power-up reset voltage  
supervisor IC. See U3 in Figure 13.  
To coordinate a power-up sequence, the Track control must first be pulled to ground potential. This should be  
done at or before input power is applied to the modules. The ground signal should be maintained for at least  
20 ms after input power has been applied. This brief period gives the modules time to complete their internal  
soft-start initialization (4), enabling them to produce an output voltage. A low-cost supply voltage supervisor IC,  
that includes a built-in time delay, is an ideal component for automatically controlling the Track inputs at power  
up.  
Figure 13 shows how the TL7712A supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequenced  
power PTH12040W modules. The output of the TL7712A supervisor becomes active above an input voltage of  
3.6 V, enabling it to assert a ground signal to the common Track control well before the input voltage has  
reached the module's undervoltage lockout threshold. The ground signal is maintained until approximately 28 ms  
after the input voltage has risen above U3's voltage threshold, which is 10.95 V. The 28-ms time period is  
controlled by the capacitor C3. The value of 2.2 µF provides sufficient time delay for the modules to complete  
their internal soft-start initialization. The output voltage of each module remains at zero until the Track control  
voltage is allowed to rise. When U3 removes the ground signal, the Track control voltage automatically rises.  
This causes the output voltage of each module to rise simultaneously with the other modules, until each reaches  
its respective set-point voltage.  
Figure 14 shows the output voltage waveforms from the circuit of Figure 13 after input voltage is applied to the  
circuit. The waveforms, VO1 and VO2, represent the output voltages from the two power modules, U1 (3.3 V) and  
U2 (1.8 V), respectively. VTRK, VO1, and VO2 are shown rising together to produce the desired simultaneous  
power-up characteristic.  
The same circuit also provides a power-down sequence. When the input voltage falls below U3's voltage  
threshold, the ground signal is re-applied to the common Track control. This pulls the Track inputs to zero volts,  
forcing the output of each module to follow, as shown in Figure 15. In order for a simultaneous power-down to  
occur, the Track inputs must be pulled low before the input voltage has fallen below the modules' undervoltage  
lockout. This is an important constraint. Once the modules recognize that a valid input voltage is no longer  
present, their outputs can no longer follow the voltage applied at their Track input. During a power-down  
sequence, the fall in the output voltage from the modules is limited by the maximum output capacitance and the  
Auto-Track slew rate.  
Notes on Use of Auto-Track™  
1. The Track pin voltage must be allowed to rise above the module set-point voltage before the module  
regulates at its adjusted set-point voltage.  
2. The Auto-Track function tracks 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 the input voltage VI.  
4. The module cannot follow a voltage at its Track control input until it has completed its soft-start initialization.  
This takes about 20 ms from the time that a valid voltage has been applied to its input. During this period, it  
is recommended that the Track pin be held at ground potential.  
5. The Auto-Track function is disabled by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage (VI). When Auto-Track is  
disabled, the output voltage rises at a quicker and more linear rate after input power has been applied.

Margin Up/Down Controls  
The PTH12060, PTH12010, PTH12020, PTH12030, and PTH12040 products incorporate Margin Up and Margin  
Down control inputs. These controls allow the output voltage to be momentarily adjusted,[1] either up or down, by  
a nominal 5%. This provides a convenient method for dynamically testing the operation of the load circuit over its  
supply margin or range. It can also be used to verify the function of supply voltage supervisors. The ±5% change  
is applied to the adjusted output voltage, as set by the external resistor, RSET at the VO Adjust pin.  
The 5% adjustment is made by pulling the appropriate margin control input directly to the GND terminal [2]. A  
low-leakage open-drain device, such as an n-channel MOSFET or p-channel JFET is recommended for this  
purpose[3]. 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 5, or calculated using Equation 4.  
Up/Down Adjust Resistance Calculation  
To reduce the margin adjustment to a value less than 5%, series resistors are required (see RD and RU in  
Figure 16). For the same amount of adjustment, the resistor value calculated for RU and RD is the same. The  
formula is shown in Equation 4.

Notes  
1. The Margin Up and Margin Down controls were not intended to be activated simultaneously. The affects on  
the output voltage may not completely cancel, resulting in the possibility of a higher error in the output  
voltage set point.  
2. The ground reference should be a direct connection to the module’s signal GND (the GND connection  
recommended for RSET). This produces a more accurate adjustment at the load circuit terminals. The  
transistors Q1 and Q2 should be located close to the regulator.  
3. The Margin Up and Margin Down 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 should have low off-state leakage current.  
Each input sources 8 µA when grounded, and has an open-circuit voltage of 0.8 V.

Prebias Startup Capability  
The capability to start up into an output prebias condition is available to all the 12-V input series of PTH/PTV  
power modules.  
A prebias 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 12-V input PTH modules  
all incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but do not sink current during startup, or whenever the Inhibit pin is held  
low. Start up includes an initial delay (approximately 8–15 ms), followed by the rise of the output voltage under  
the control of the module’s internal soft-start mechanism; see Figure 17.  
Conditions for PreBias Holdoff  
For the module to allow an output prebias voltage to exist (and not sink current), certain conditions must be  
maintained. The module holds off a prebias voltage when 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 with Auto-Track disabled[1]. 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 prebias source. This condition must exist throughout the  
power-up sequence.  
The soft-start period is complete when the output begins rising above the prebias voltage. Once it is complete  
the module functions as normal, and sinks current if a voltage higher than the nominal regulation value is applied  
to its output.  
Note: If a prebias condition is not present, the soft-start period is complete when the output voltage has risen  
to either the set-point voltage, or the voltage applied at the module’s Track control pin, whichever is lowest.

Demonstration Circuit  
Figure 18 shows the startup waveforms for the demonstration circuit shown in Figure 19. The initial rise in VO2 is  
the prebias voltage, which is passed from the VCCIO to the VCORE voltage rail through the ASIC. Note that the  
output current from the PTH12010L module (IO2) is negligible until its output voltage rises above the applied  
pre-bias.

Note  
1. The prebias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track. If the rise in the output is limited by the  
voltage applied to the Track control pin, the output sinks current during the period that the Track control  
voltage is below that of the back-feeding source. For this reason, it is recommended that Auto-Track be  
disabled when not being used. This is accomplished by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage, VI. This  
raises the Track pin voltage well above the set-point voltage prior to the module’s start up, thereby defeating  
the Auto-Track feature.
