DESCRIPTION
The PTV12020 series of nonisolated power modules are part of a new class of complete dc/dc switching
regulator modules from Texas Instruments. These regulators combine high performance with double-sided,
surface mount construction to give designers the flexibility to power the most complex multiprocessor digital
systems using off-the-shelf catalog parts.
The PTV12020 series is produced in a 12-pin, single in-line pin (SIP) package. The SIP footprint minimizes board
space, and offers an alternate package option for space conscious applications. Operating from a 12-V input bus,
the series provides step-down conversion to a wide range of output voltages, at up to 16 A of output current. The
output voltage of the W-suffix parts can be set to any value over the range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V. The L-suffix parts
have an adjustment range of 0.8 V to 1.8 V. The output voltage is set using a single external resistor.
This series includes Auto-Track™. Auto-Track™ simplifies the task of supply-voltage sequencing in a power
system by enabling the output voltage of multiple modules to accurately track each other, or any external voltage,
during power up and power down.
Other operating features include an on/off inhibit, and the ability to start up into an existing output voltage or
prebias. For improved load regulation, an output voltage sense is provided. A nonlatching overcurrent trip and
overtemperature shutdown protects against load faults.
Target applications include complex multivoltage, multiprocessor systems that incorporate the industry's highspeed DSPs, microprocessors, and bus drivers.

For start-up into a prebiased output, review page 17 in the Application Information section.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Designing for 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
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.
Features of the PTH Family of Non-Isolated Wide Output Adjust Power Modules
Introduction
The PTH/PTV family of non-isolated, wide-output adjustable power modules 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,
nonisolated modules with the same footprint and form factor. POLA parts are also ensured to be interoperable,
thereby, providing customers with second-source availability.
From the basic, Just Plug it In functionality of the 6-A modules, to the 30-A rated feature-rich PTHxx030, these
products were designed to be very flexible, yet simple to use. The features vary with each product. Table 5
provides a quick reference to the features by product series and input bus voltage.

For simple point-of-use applications, the PTH12050 (6A) provides operating features such as an on/off inhibit,
output voltage trim, prebias start-up and overcurrent protection. The PTH12060 (10A), and PTH12010 (12A)
include an output voltage sense, and margin up/down controls. Then the higher output current, PTH12020 (18A)
and PTH12030 (26A) products incorporate overtemperature shutdown protection.
The PTV12010 and PTV12020 are similar parts offered in a vertical, single in-line pin (SIP) profile, at slightly
lower current ratings.
All of the products referenced in Table 5 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.

POWER-UP INTO A NON-PREBIASED OUTPUT — 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.
Basic Power-Up Using Auto-Track™
For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, each series of the PTH family incorporates the track
control pin. The Auto-Track feature should be used instead of the inhibit feature wherever there is a requirement
for the output voltage from the regulator to be turned on/off.
Figure 12 shows the typical application for basic start-up. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The track input has
its own internal pull-up to a potential of 5 V to 13.2 V The input is not compatible with TTL logic devices. An
open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor or supply voltage supervisor (TPS3808 or TPS7712) is
recommended for control.

Figure 12. Basic Start-up Control Circuit
Turning on Q1 applies a low voltage to the track control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is then
turned off, the output ramps immediately to the regulated output voltage. A regulated output voltage is produced
within 35 ms. With the initial application of the input source voltage, the track pin must be held low (Q1 turned
ON) for at least 40 ms. Figure 13 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the
turn off of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, Q1 Vds. The waveforms were
measured with a 10-A constant current load.

Figure 13. Power-Up from Track Control
NOTE
If a prebias condition is not present, it is highly recommended that the Track control pin be
used for controlled power-up and power-down. If Track control is not used, the output
voltage starts up and overshoots by as much as 10%, before settling at the output voltage
setpoint.
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.

SLTS231C – NOVEMBER 2004 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007
Typical Auto-Track 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 14.
To coordinate a power-up sequence, the Track control must first be pulled to ground potential through RTRK as
defined in Figure 14. This should be done at or before input power is applied to the modules. The ground signal
should be maintained for at least 40 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 14 shows how the TL7712A supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequenced
power up of two 12-V input Auto-Track 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 43 ms after the input voltage has risen above U3's voltage threshold, which is 10.95 V. The 43-ms
time period is controlled by the capacitor C3. The value of 3.3 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 15 shows the output voltage waveforms from the circuit of Figure 14 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 16. 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. If the Track pin is pulled low at a slew rate greater than 1 V/ms, the discharge of the output
capacitors will induce large currents which could exceed the peak current rating of the module. This will result in
a reduction in the maximum allowable output capacitance as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. When
controlling the Track pin of the PTH12060W using a voltage supervisor IC, the slew rate is increased, therefore
CO(max) is reduced to 2200 μF.
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 40 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.

POWER-UP INTO A PREBIASED OUTPUT — START-UP USING INHIBIT CONTROL
The capability to start up into an output prebias condition is now available to all the 12-V input, PTH series of
power modules. (Note that this is a feature enhancement for the many of the W-suffix products) [1].
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 does not sink current during startup, or whenever the Inhibit pin is held
low.
Conditions for Prebias Holdoff
In order 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 [2]. 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 [3].
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.
to its output.
Prebias Demonstration Circuit
Figure 17 shows the startup waveforms for the demonstration circuit shown in Figure 18. 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
prebias.

Notes:
1. Output prebias holdoff is an inherent feature to all PTH120x0L and PTV120x0W/L modules. It has now been
incorporated into all modules (including W-suffix modules with part numbers of the form PTH120x0W), with a
production lot date code of 0423 or later.

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.
3. To further ensure that the regulator's output does not sink current when power is first applied (even with a
ground signal applied to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage must always be greater than the applied
prebias source. This condition must exist throughout the power-up sequence of the power system.

Remote Sense
Products with this feature incorporate an output voltage sense pin, VOSense. 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 VOSense pin to the VO node, close to the load circuit (see data sheet
standard application 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 from VOSense 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.
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 attempts 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, PTV12020, and PTH12030 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 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 will reduce the longterm 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.
