DESCRIPTION
The PTB48520W is a 25-A rated, 48-V input 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,
Auto-Track compliant module.
The PTB48520W module provides two outputs, each regulated to the same voltage. During power up, the
voltage at Vo Bus rises first, allowing this output to provide input power to any downstream non-isolated module.
The voltage from Vo Seq is then allowed to rise simultaneously, 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 PTB48520W includes
many features expected of high-performance dc/dc converter modules. The wide output 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 ensured with a differential remote sense that intelligently regulates the sequenced
output, depending on its sequence status. Other operational features include an input undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) and an output enable control. Overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection ensures the
module ability to survive any load fault.
Typical applications include distributed power architectures in both telecom and computing environments,
particularly complex digital systems requiring power sequencing of multiple power supply rails.

See temperature derating curves for safe operating area (SOA), or consult factory for appropriate derating.
When load current is supplied from the VO Seq output, the module exhibits higher power dissipation and slightly lower operating
efficiency.
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 temperature stability.
When controlling the Track input from an external source, the slew rate of the applied signal must be greater than the minimum limit.
Failure to allow the voltage to completely rise to the voltage at the VO (bus) output, at no less than the minimum specified rate, may
thermally overstress the converter.
The VO Enable input has an internal pull-up, and if left open the converter output isturned off. A discrete MOSFET or bipolar transistor is
recommended to control this input. The open-circuit voltage is approximately 20% of the input voltage. If the output enable feature is not
used, this pin should be permanently connected to –VI. See the application information for other interface considerations.

DESCRIPTION
+VI (1)
1
The positive input for the module with respect to –VI. When powering the module from a negative input voltage,
this input is connected to the input source ground.
–VI (1)
3
The negative input supply for the module, and the 0-V reference for the VO Enable input. When powering the
module from a positive source, this input is connected to the input source return.
2
An open-collector (open-drain) negative logic input that is referenced to –VI. This input must be pulled to –VI
potential to enable the output voltage. A high impedance connection disables the module output. If the output
enable feature is not used, pin 2 should be permanently connected to –VI. The module then produces an output
whenever a valid input source is applied.
VO Bus
9
Produces a positive power output with respect to VO COM. This is the main output from the converter when
operated in a stand-alone configuration. It is dc isolated 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.
VO Seq
10
This is the sequenced output voltage from the converter. This voltage can be directly controlled from the Track
pin. During power up, VO Seq rises with the Track pin voltage, typically 20 ms after the VO Bus output has
reached regulation.
VO COM
5
This is the output power return for both the VO Bus and VO Seq output voltages. This node should be
connected to the load circuit common.
4
The voltage at this pin directly controls the voltage VO Seq regulated output. It is primarily used to sequence
the voltage VO Seq with the regulated outputs from any downstream non-isolated modules that are powered
from the converter +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 has an internal transistor, which holds it at VO COM
potential for approximately 20 ms after the VO Bus output is in regulation. Following this delay, the Track
voltage and VO Seq rises simultaneously with the output voltage of all the non-isolated modules that are under
the control of Auto-Track.
7
A resistor must be connected between this pin and –Sense to set the converter 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 defaults to its lowest value. The specification table gives the preferred
resistor values for the popular bus voltages.
+Sense
8
The +Sense pin can be connected to either the VO Bus or VO Seq outputs. When connected to VO Seq, remote
sense compensation will be delayed until the power-up sequence is complete. The voltage at VO Bus is 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
6
Provides the converter with a remote sense capability when used with +Sense. For optimum output voltage
accuracy, this pin should always be connected to VO COM. This pin is also the reference connection for the
output voltage set-point resistor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Operating Features and System Considerations for the PTB48520W DC/DC Converter
Overcurrent Protection
To protect against load faults, these converters incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load to the
output that exceeds the converter overcurrent threshold (see applicable specification) causes the output voltage
to momentarily fold back, and then shut down. Following shutdown, the module periodically attempts to
automatically recover by initiating a soft-start power up. This is often described as a hiccup mode of operation,
whereby the module continues in the cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault is removed.
Once the fault is removed, the converter automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The converter continually monitors for an output overvoltage (OV) condition, directly across the +VO Bus output.
The OV threshold automatically tracks the output voltage set point to a level that is 25% higher than that set by
the external R(SET) voltage adjust resistor. If the output voltage exceeds this threshold, the converter is
immediately shut down and remains in a latched-off state. To resume normal operation, the converter must be
actively reset. This can only be done by momentarily removing the input power to the converter. For fail-safe
operation and redundancy, the OV protection uses circuitry that is independent of the converter internal feedback
loop.
Differential Output Voltage Sense
A differential remote sense allows a converter regulation circuitry to compensate for limited amounts of IR drop,
that may be incurred between the converter and load, in either the positive or return PCB traces. Connecting the
(+)Sense and (–)Sense pins to the respective positive and ground reference of the load terminals improves the
load regulation of the converter output voltage at that connection point. The (–)Sense pin should always be
connected to the VO COM. The (+)Sense pin may be connected to either the +VO Bus or +VO Seq outputs.
When the (+)Sense pin is connected to the VO Seq output, the voltage at VO Bus voltage regulates slightly

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
higher. Depending on the load conditions on the VO Seq output, the voltage at VO Bus may be up to 100 mV
higher than the converter set-point voltage. In addition, the Smart-Sense feature (incorporated into the converter)
only engages sense compensation to the VO Seq output when that output voltage is close to the set point. During
other conditions, such as power-up and power-down sequencing events, the sense circuit automatically defaults
to sensing the VO Bus voltage, internal to the converter.
Leaving the (+)Sense and (–)Sense pins open does not damage the converter or load circuitry. The converter
includes default circuitry that keeps the output voltage in regulation. If the remote sense feature is not used, the
(–)Sense pin should always be connected to VO COM.
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 sense pin connections,
they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the stability of the
converter.
Overtemperature Protection
Overtemperature protection is provided by an internal temperature sensor, which monitors the temperature of the
converter PCB (close to pin 1). If the PCB temperature exceeds a nominal 115°C, the converter shuts down. The
converter then automatically restarts when the sensed temperature falls to approximately 105°C. When operated
outside its recommended thermal derating envelope (see data sheet derating curves), the converter typcially
cycles on and off at intervals from a few seconds to one or two minutes. This is to ensure that the internal
components are not permanently damaged from excessive thermal stress.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is designed to prevent the operation of the converter until the input voltage is
close to the minimum operating voltage. The converter is held off when the input voltage is below the UVLO
threshold, and turns on when the input voltage rises above the threshold. This prevents high start-up current
during normal power up of the converter, and minimizes the current drain from the input source during low input
voltage conditions. The converter meets full specifications when the minimum specified input voltage is reached.
The UVLO circuitry also overrides the operation of the VO Enable control. Only when the input voltage is above
the UVLO threshold is the VO Enable control functional.
Primary-Secondary Isolation
These converters incorporate electrical isolation between the input terminals (primary) and the output terminals
(secondary). All converters are tested to a withstand voltage of 1500 VDC. This complies with UL/cUL 60950 and
EN 60950 and the requirements for operational isolation. It allows the converter to be configured for either a
positive or negative input voltage source. The data sheet Terminal Functions table provides guidance as to the
correct reference that must be used for the external control signals.
Output Voltage Adjustment
The VO Adjust control sets the output voltages to a value higher than 1.8 V. For output voltages other than 1.8 V
a single external resistor, R(set), must be connected directly between VO Adjust (pin 7) and (–)Sense (pin 6) pins.
A 0.05-W rated resistor can be used. The tolerance should be 1%, with a temperature stability of 100 ppm/°C (or
better). Place the resistor close to the converter and connect it directly between pins 7 and 6 using dedicated
PCB traces (see typical application). Table 1 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 adjust resistor may be calculated using Equation 1.

Input Current Limiting
The converter is not internally fused. For safety and overall system protection, the maximum input current to
the converter must be limited. Active or passive current limiting can be used. Passive current limiting can be a
fast-acting fuse. A 125-V fuse, rated no more than 10 A, is recommended. Active current limiting can be
implemented with a current limited Hot-Swap controller.
Thermal Considerations
Airflow may be necessary to ensure that the module can supply the desired load current in environments with
elevated ambient temperatures. The required airflow rate is determined from the safe operating area (SOA). The
SOA is the area beneath the applicable airflow rate curve on the graph of temperature derating vs output current.
(See Typical Characteristics.) Operating the converter within the SOA limits ensures that all the internal
components are at or below their stated maximum operating temperatures.

SLTS233A – NOVEMBER 2004 – REVISED APRIL 2005
Using the Output Enable Control on the PTB48520 Auto-Track Compatible DC/DC Converter
The VO Enable (pin 2) control is an active low input that allows the output voltage from the converter to be turned
on and off while it is connected to the input source. The VO Enable input is referenced to the –VI (pin 3) (1), on the
primary side of the converter isolation, and has its own internal pullup. The open-circuit voltage is approximately
20% of the applied input source voltage.
For the converter to function normally, pin 2 must be pulled low to –VI potential (2). The converter output then
produces a regulated voltage whenever a valid source voltage is applied between +VI (pin 1) and –VI (pin 3) (3). If
the voltage at pin 2 is allowed to rise above VIH(min), (see specification table), the output from the converter is
turned off.
Figure 6 is an application schematic that shows the typical use of the Output Enable function. Note the discrete
transistor (Q1). Either a discrete MOSFET or bipolar transistor is recommended to control this input. Table 2
gives the threshold requirements.
When placed in Off state, the output neither sources or sinks output current. The load voltage then decays as the
output capacitance is discharged by the load circuit. With the output turned off, the current drawn from the input
source is typically reduced to 2 mA.
(1)
(2)
(3)
The VO Enable control uses –VI (pin 3) as ground reference. All voltages are with respect to –VI.
Use an open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor to control the VO Enable input. A pullup resistor is not necessary. To disable the
converter, the control pin should be pulled low to less than +0.8 V. If the Output Enable feature is not used, pin 2 should be permanently
connected to –VI (pin 3).
The converter incorporates a UVLO. The UVLO does not allow the converter to power up until the input voltage is close to its minimum
specified operating voltage. This is regardless of the state of the Output Enable control. Consult the specifications for the UVLO
thresholds.

Figure 7 shows the output response of the converter after Q1 is turned on. The turnon of Q1 corresponds to the
drop in the Q1 Vds waveform. Although the output voltage rise time is short (
