DESCRIPTION
The PTN78000A is a series of high-efficiency, buck-boost integrated switching regulators (ISR), that represent
the third generation in the evolution of the PT78NR100 series of products. In new designs, it should be
considered in place of the PT78NR100 series of single in-line pin (SIP) products. The PTN78000A is smaller and
lighter than its predecessor, and has either similar or improved electrical performance characteristics. The
caseless, double-sided package also exhibits improved thermal characteristics, and is compatible with TI's
roadmap for RoHS and lead-free compliance.
Operating from a wide-input voltage range, the PTN78000A provides high-efficiency, positive-to-negative voltage
conversion for loads of up to 1.5 A. The output voltage is set using a single external resistor, and may be set to
any value within the range, –15 V to –3 V.
The PTN78000A has undervoltage lockout, and is suited to a wide variety of general-purpose applications that
operate off 12-V, 24-V, or tightly regulated 28-V dc power.

The maximum output current is 1.5 A or the maximum output power is 9 W, whichever is less.
The maximum input voltage is limited and defined to be (32 – |VO|) volts.
The set-point voltage tolerance is affected by the tolerance and stability of RSET. The stated limit is unconditionally met if RSET has a
tolerance of 1% with 100 ppm/°C or better temperature stability.
A 100-μF electrolytic capacitor and two 4.7-μF ceramic capacitors are required across the input (VI and GND) for proper operation.
Locate the ceramic capacitance close to the module.
100 μF of output capacitance is required for proper operation. See the application information for further guidance.
This is the typical ESR for all the electrolytic (nonceramic) capacitance. Use 17 mΩ as the minimum when using maximum ESR values
to calculate.

SLTS246B – APRIL 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2006
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTN78000A Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
General
A resistor must be connected directly between the VO Adjust control (pin 4) and the output voltage (pin 7) to set
the output voltage lower than –3 V. The adjustment range is from –15 V to –3 V. If pin 4 is left open, the output
voltage defaults to the highest value, –3 V.
Table 1 gives the standard resistor value for a number of common voltages, and with the actual output voltage
that the value produces. For other output voltages, the resistor value can either be calculated using the following
formula, or simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2. Figure 17 shows the placement of the
required resistor.
RSET = 54.9 kW ´
1.25 V
|VO| - 3 V
- 5.62 kW
Input Voltage Considerations
The PTN78000A is a buck-boost switching regulator. In order that the output remains in regulation, the input
voltage must not exceed the output by a maximum differential voltage.
For satisfactory performance, the maximum operating input voltage is (32 - |VO|) volts.
As an example, Table 1 gives the operating input voltage range for the common output bus voltages. In addition,
the Electrical Characteristics define the available output voltage adjust range for various input voltages.

(1)
A 0.05-W rated resistor may be used. The tolerance should be 1%, with a temperature stability of 100 ppm/°C (or
better). Place the resistor as close to the regulator as possible. Connect the resistor directly between pins 4 and 1
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.

CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PTN78000 WIDE-OUTPUT
ADJUST POWER MODULES
Input Capacitor
The minimum requirements for the input bus is 100 μF of nonceramic capacitance and 9.4 μF (2 x 4.7 μF) of
ceramic capacitance, in either an X5R or X7R temperature characteristic, and 100 μF of electrolytic capacitance.
Ceramic capacitors should be located within 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) of the regulator's input pins. Electrolytic
capacitors should be used at the input in addition to the required ceramic capacitance. The minimum ripple
current rating for any nonceramic capacitance must be at least 250 mA rms. The ripple current rating of
electrolytic capacitors is a major consideration when they are used at the input. This ripple current requirement
can be reduced by placing more ceramic capacitors at the input, in addition to the minimum required 9.4 μF.
Tantalum capacitors are not recommended for use at the input bus, as none were found to meet the minimum
voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). The 2× rating is standard practice for regular tantalum
capacitors to ensure reliability. Polymer-tantalum capacitors are more reliable and are available with a maximum
rating of typically 20 V. These can be used with input voltages up to 16 V.
Output Capacitor
The minimum capacitance required to ensure stability is a 100 μF. Either ceramic or electrolytic-type capacitors
can be used. The minimum ripple current rating for the nonceramic capacitance must be at least 200 mA rms.
The stability of the module and voltage tolerances is compromised if the capacitor is not placed near the output
bus pins. A high-quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitor should be adequate. A ceramic capacitor can be
also be located within 0.5 inch (1,27 cm) of the output pin.
For applications with load transients (sudden changes in load current), the regulator response improves with
additional capacitance. Additional electrolytic capacitors should be located close to the load circuit. These
capacitors provide decoupling over the frequency range, 2 kHz to 150 kHz. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are
suitable for ambient temperatures above 0°C. For operation below 0°C, tantalum or Os-Con-type capacitors are
recommended. When using one or more nonceramic capacitors, the calculated equivalent ESR should be no
lower than 14 mΩ (17 mΩ using the manufacturer's maximum ESR for a single capacitor). A list of recommended
capacitors and vendors are identified in Table 3.
Ceramic Capacitors
Above 150 kHz, the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors becomes less effective. To further reduce
the reflected input ripple current, or the output transient response, multilayer ceramic capacitors must be added.
Ceramic capacitors have low ESR, and their resonant frequency is higher than the bandwidth of the regulator.
When placed at the output, their combined ESR is not critical as long as the total value of ceramic capacitance
does not exceed 200 μF.
Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum-type capacitors may be used at the 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/T510/T520 capacitors series are suggested over many other tantalum types due to their 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 is encountered well before the
maximum capacitance value is reached.
Capacitor Table
The capacitor table, Table 3, identifies the characteristics of capacitors from various 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 rating and ESR (at
100 kHz) are critical parameters necessary to ensure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor
life.

SLTS246B – APRIL 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2006
Designing for 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
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 of
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 those specified in the data sheet, the selection of output
capacitors becomes more important. Review the minimum ESR in the characteristic data sheet for details on the
capacitance maximum.

The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be selected for the desired operating input voltage range of the regulator. To operate the
regulator at a higher input voltage, select a capacitor with the next higher voltage rating.
The maximum voltage rating of the capacitor must be selected for the desired set-point voltage (VO ). To operate at a higher output
voltage, select a capacitor with a higher voltage rating.
Not recommended (N/R). The voltage rating does not meet the minimum operating limits in most applications.
The maximum rating of the ceramic capacitor limits the regulator's operating input voltage to 20 V. Select a alternative ceramic
component to operate at a higher input voltage.

Power-Up Characteristics
When configured per the standard application, the PTN78000A power module produces a regulated output
voltage following the application of a valid input source voltage. During power up, internal soft-start circuitry slows
the rate that the output voltage rises, thereby limiting the amount of in-rush current that can be drawn from the
input source. The soft-start circuitry introduces a short time delay (typically 5 ms – 10 ms) into the power-up
characteristic. This is from the point that a valid input source is recognized. Figure 18 shows the power-up
waveforms for a PTN78000A, operating from a 12-V input and with the output voltage adjusted to –5 V. The
waveforms were measured with a 1.5-A resistive load.

VO (2 V/div)
II (1 A/div)
t - Time = 5 ms/div
Figure 18. Power-Up Waveforms
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents the module from attempting to power up until the input voltage
is above the UVLO threshold. This prevents the module from drawing excessive current from the input source at
power up. Below the UVLO threshold, the module is held off.
Current Limit Protection
The PTN78000 modules protect against load faults with a continuous current limit characteristic. Under a load
fault condition, the output current cannot exceed the current limit value. Attempting to draw current that exceeds
the current limit value causes the module to progressively reduce its output voltage. Current is continuously
supplied to the fault until it is removed. On removal of the fault, the output voltage promptly recovers. When
limiting output current, the regulator experiences higher power dissipation, which increases its temperature. If the
temperature increase is excessive, the module's overtemperature protection begins to periodically turn the output
voltage completely off.
Overtemperature Protection
A thermal shutdown mechanism protects the module's internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures. A
rise in temperature may be the result of a drop in airflow, a high ambient temperature, or a sustained current-limit
condition. If the junction temperature of the internal control IC rises excessively, the module turns itself off,
reducing the output voltage to zero. The module instantly restarts when the sensed temperature decreases by a
few degrees.
Note: Overtemperature protection is a last-resort mechanism to prevent damage to the module. It should not be
relied on as permanent protection against thermal stress. Always operate the module within its temperature
derated limits, for the worst-case operating conditions of output current, ambient temperature, and airflow.
Operating the module above these limits, albeit below the thermal shutdown temperature, reduces the long-term
reliability of the module.

SLTS246B – APRIL 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2006
Optional Input/Output Filters
Power modules include internal input and output ceramic capacitors in all their designs. However, some
applications require much lower levels of either input reflected or output ripple/noise. This application describes
various filters and design techniques found to be successful in reducing both input and output ripple/noise.
Input/Output Capacitors
The easiest way to reduce output ripple and noise is to add one or more 1-μF ceramic capacitors, such as C5
shown in Figure 19. Ceramic capacitors should be placed close to the output power terminals. A single 4.7-μF
capacitor reduces the output ripple/noise by 10% to 30% for modules with a rated output current of less than 3 A.
(Note: C4 is recommended to improve the regulators transient response and does not reduce output ripple and
noise.)
Switching regulators draw current from the input line in pulses at their operating frequency. The amount of
reflected (input) ripple/noise generated is directly proportional to the equivalent source impedance of the power
source including the impedance of any input lines. The addition of C1, minimum 4.7-μF ceramic capacitor, near
the input power pins, reduces reflected conducted ripple/noise by 20% to 30%.

Figure 19. Adding High-Frequency Bypass Capacitors to the Input and Output
π Filters
If a further reduction in ripple/noise level is required for an application, higher order filters must be used. A π (pi)
filter, employing a ferrite bead (Fair-Rite Pt. No. 2673000701 or equivalent) in series with the input or output
terminals of the regulator reduces the ripple/noise by at least 20 db (see Figure 20 and Figure 21). In order for
the inductor to be effective in reduction of ripple and noise ceramic capacitors are required. (See the Capacitor
Recommendations for the PTN78000A for additional information on vendors and component suggestions.)
These inductors plus ceramic capacitors form an excellent filter because of the rejection at the switching
frequency (650 kHz - 1 MHz). The placement of this filter is critical. It must be located as close as possible to the
input or output pins to be effective. The ferrite bead is small (12,5 mm × 3 mm), easy to use, low cost, and has
low dc resistance. Fair-Rite also manufactures a surface-mount bead (part number 2773021447), through hole
(part number 2673000701) rated to 5 A. Alternatively, 1-μH to 5-μH inductors can be used in place of the ferrite
inductor bead.
