DESCRIPTION
The PTV08040W is a high-performance 50-A rated, non-isolated, power module, that uses the latest multi-phase
switched-mode topology. This provides a small, ready-to-use module, that can power the most densely populated
multiprocessor systems. The PTV08040W is produced in a 21-pin, single in-line pin (SIP) package. The SIP
footprint minimizes board space, and offers an alternate package option for space conscious applications. The
modules use double-sided surface mount construction to provide a low profile and compact footprint.
Operating from an input voltage range of 8 V to 14 V, the PTV08040W requires a single resistor to set the output
voltage to any value over the range, 0.8 V to 3.6 V. The wide input voltage range makes the PTV08040W
particularly suitable for advanced computing and server applications that utilize a loosely regulated intermediate
distribution bus of 8 V to 14 V.
The PTV08040W incorporates Auto-Track™ sequencing. The Auto-Track feature of the PTH and PTV 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 module incorporates a comprehensive list of features. They include on/off inhibit, a differential remote output
voltage sense which ensures tight load regulation, and an output overcurrent and overtemperature shutdown to
protect against load faults. The programmable undervoltage lockout allows the turn-on and turn-off voltage
thresholds to be customized.

ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF THE PTV08040W WIDE-OUTPUT ADJUST POWER
MODULE
The VO Adjust control (pin 8) sets the output voltage of the PTV08040W product. The adjustment range is from
0.8 V to 3.6 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. 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.
For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be calculated using Equation 1, or simply
selected from the range of values given in Table 3. Figure 9 shows the placement of the required resistor.

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 8
and nearest GND pin (pin 11) using dedicated PCB traces.
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.

SLTS257B – SEPTEMBER 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2008
ADJUSTING THE UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO) OF THE PTV08040W POWER MODULES
The PTV08040W 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 overridden, 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.
UVLO Adjustment
The UVLO feature of the PTV08040W 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
prevents it from operating if the input bus fails to completely rise to its specified regulation voltage. The hysterisis
should not be changed unless absolutely necessary. The 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 10), 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 permit 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, and then be used to
determine a value for RTHD, using Equation 3.
R HYS =
2 6 .1 ´ V H Y S
kΩ
0 .3 6 5 ´ (1 - V H Y S )
(2)
Threshold Adjust
Equation 3 determines the value of RTHD required to adjust VTHD to a new value. The default value is 7.5 V, and it
may only be adjusted to a higher value. If the hysterisis value has been adjusted, then a value for RTHD must also
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/PTV FAMILY OF NONISOLATED WIDE OUTPUT ADJUST POWER
MODULES
Soft-Start Power Up
The Auto-Track feature allows the power-up of multiple PTH/PTV 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 11).

Figure 11. Track Pin Connection
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 12 shows the soft-start power-up
characteristic of the PTV08040W operating from a 12-V input bus and configured for a 3.3-V output. The
waveforms were measured with a 20-A constant current 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)
A thermal shutdown mechanism 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 sensed temperature decreases
by about 10°C below the trip point.
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.
Remote Sense
Products with this feature incorporate one or two remote sense pins. Remote sensing 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 Sense pins to the corresponding output voltage node, close to the load
circuit. If a sense pin is left open-circuit, an internal low-value resistor (15-Ω or less) connected between the pin
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 at the Sense pins, is the amount of IR drop being compensated by the regulator. This
should be limited to a maximum of 0.3 V.
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.

Output On/Off Inhibit
For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTV08040W 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 13 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. The input is not compatible with TTL logic devices. An
open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended for control.

ms. Figure 14 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the turn-off of Q1. The

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
Auto-Track works by forcing the module output voltage to follow a voltage presented at the Track control pin (1).
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.
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 15.
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 15 shows how the TL7712A supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequenced
power up of PTV08040W 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 16 shows the output voltage waveforms 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 17. Power down is normally complete before the
input voltage has fallen below the modules' undervoltage lockout. This is an important constraint. Once the
modules recognize that an 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 Auto-Track slew rate capability.

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.

Prebias Startup Capability
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. PTH modules all incorporate
synchronous rectifiers. Those that incorporate the prebias feature 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 18.
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 whenever 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 (see
Figure 18). 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 19 shows the startup waveforms for the demonstration circuit shown in Figure 20. 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.

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.
