DESCRIPTION
The PTN04050A is an adjustable output, positive-to-negative, integrated switching regulator. In new designs, it
should be considered in place of the PT5020 series of positive-to-negative integrated switching regulator
products. The PTN04050A is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, with improved electrical performance
characteristics, while operating over a wider input voltage range, with an adjustable output voltage. 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 of 2.9 V to 7 V, the PTN04050A provides high-efficient,
positive-to-negative voltage conversion for loads of up to 6 W. The output voltage is set using a single external
resistor, and may be set to any value within the range, –15 V to –3.3 V.
The PTN04050A features include on/off inhibit, undervoltage lockout, over-current protection, and is suited for a
wide variety of general-purpose applications that operate off 3.3-V or 5-V input.

The module will operate down to no load with reduced specifications.
The maximum output current is 1 A or the maximum output power is 6 W, whichever is less.
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.
(4) A load step from 66% to 100% IOmax for VO = –15 V.
(5) This control pin has an internal pull-up to the input voltage, VI. If it is left open circuit, the module operates when input power is applied.
A small, low-leakage (< 100 nA) metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is recommended for control. See the
application Information for further guidance.
(6) 100 µF of capacitance is required across the input (VI and GND) for proper operation. Locate the ceramic capacitance close to the
module.
(7) When using ceramic output capacitance equivalent to 100 µF, a 100 µF electrolytic capacitor is also required.
(8) 100 µF of output capacitance is required for proper operation. See the application information for further guidance.
(9) The minimum ESR limitation may result in a lower value for the output capacitance. See the Input/Output Capacitor Recommendations
for further guidance.
(10) This is the typical ESR for all the electrolytic (nonceramic) capacitance. Use 17 mΩ as the minimum when using maximum ESR values
to calculate.

DESCRIPTION
The common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the reference for the VO
Adjust control inputs.
I
The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND.
I
The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain (non-TTL), negative logic input that is referenced to GND.
Applying a low-level ground signal to this input disables the module's output. When the Inhibit control is
active-low, the input current drawn by the regulator is significantly reduced. If the Inhibit pin is left
open-circuit, the module produces an output voltage whenever a valid input source is applied. The
PTN04050A Inhibit control circuitry must not be shared with another module. Never connect a resistor
between the Inhibit pin and any other voltage reference or GND.

I
A 1% resistor must be connected between pin 4 and pin 1 to set the output voltage of the module. If left
open-circuit, the output voltage defaults to –1.79 V, which is beyond the recommended operating range.
The set-point range is –15 V to –3.3 V. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/°C
(or better). The standard resistor value for a number of common output voltages is provided in the
application information.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTN04050A Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
General
A resistor must be connected directly between the VO Adjust control (pin 4) and GND (pin 1) to set the output
voltage of the module. The adjustment range is from –15 V to –3.3 V. If pin 4 is left open, the output voltage
defaults to –1.79 V, which is beyond the recommended operating range.
Table 1 gives the standard resistor value for a number of common voltages, along with the actual output voltage
that the value produces. For other output voltages, the resistor value can either be calculated using Equation 1,
or by selecting from the range of values given in Table 2. Figure 15 shows the placement of the required
resistor.

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 as possible to the regulator. 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.

The minimum requirement for the input bus is 100 µF of 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
ceramic capacitors at the input.
If tantalum capacitors are used at the input bus, a minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac
ripple) is standard practice to ensure reliability. Polymer-tantalum capacitors are more reliable and are available
with a maximum rating of typically 20 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. When using ceramic
capacitance equivalent to 100 µF, a 100 µF electrolytic is also required.
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 10 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 both the input and 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.

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.

Power-Up Characteristics
When configured per the standard application, the PTN04050A 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 time delay (typically 60 ms) into the power-up
characteristic. This is from the point that a valid input source is recognized. Figure 16 shows the power-up
waveforms for a PTN04050A, operating from a 5-V input and with the output voltage adjusted to –12 V. The
waveforms were measured with a 500-mA resistive load.

II (1 A/Div)
VO (5 V/Div)
t - Time = 40 ms/div
Figure 16. 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 PTN04050 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.

Output On/Off Inhibit
For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTN04050A power module incorporates an output
on/off Inhibit control (pin 3). The inhibit feature can be used wherever there is a requirement for the output
voltage from the regulator to be turned off.
The power module functions 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 17 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit
control has its own internal pullup to VI. An open-collector or open-drain (non-TTL) device is required to control
this input.
Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is then
turned off, the module executes a soft-start power-up sequence. Figure 18 shows the typical rise in the output
voltage, following the turn off of Q1. The turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, VINH. The
waveforms were measured with a 500-mA resistive load.
Note: The PTN04050A Inhibit control circuitry must not be shared with another module. Never connect a resistor
between the Inhibit pin and any voltage reference or GND.

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 4.7-µF ceramic capacitors, such as C4
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%. (Note: C3 is required 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 PTN04050A 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.
