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.

less.
(3) This control pin has an internal pull-up to 3 V (TYP). Do not place an internal pull-up on this pin. If it is left open-circuit, the module
operates when input power is applied. A small low-leakage (< 100 nA) MOSFET is recommended for control. See the application
information for further guidance.

the module.
(5) An external 100-µF electrolytic capacitor is optional across the output (VO and GND). Locate the capacitor close to the module.
Additional capacitance close to the load improves the response of the regulator to load transients.

information for further guidance.
(7) This is the typical ESR for all the electrolytic (nonceramic) capacitance. Use 14 mΩ as the minimum when calculating the total
equivalent series resistance (ESR) using the maximum ESR values specified by the capacitor manufacturer.

I/O DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
VI 1 I The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND.
This is the common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the 0-Vdc reference for
GND 2
the Inhibit and VO Adjust control inputs.
VO 3 O The regulated positive power output with respect to the GND node.
A 1% resistor must be connected between this pin and GND (pin 2) to set the output voltage of the module
higher than 0.9 V. If left open-circuit, the output voltage defaults to this value. The temperature stability of the
VO Adjust 4 I resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or better). The set-point range is from 0.9 V to 5.5 V. The electrical
specification table gives the standard resistor value for a number of common output voltages. See the
application information for further guidance.
The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain-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, the input current
Inhibit 5 I
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. Do not place an external pull-up on this pin.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTH08080W Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
The VO Adjust control (pin 4) sets the output voltage of the PTH08080W product. The adjustment range is from
0.9 V to 5.5 V. The adjustment method requires the addition of a single external resistor, RSET, that must be
connected directly between the VO Adjust and GND (pin 2). Table 1 gives the standard external resistor for a
number of common bus voltages, along with the actual voltage the resistance produces.
For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be calculated using the following formula,
or simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2. Figure 10 shows the placement of the required
resistor.

CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PTH08080W WIDE-OUTPUT ADJUST

POWER MODULES

Input Capacitor
The minimum recommended input capacitor is 100 µF of capacitance. When VO > 3.4 V, the 100-µF electrolytic
capacitance must be rated for 650-mArms ripple current . For VO < 3.4 V, the ripple current rating must be at
least 500 mArms. The ripple current rating of electrolytic capacitors is a major consideration when they are used
at the input.
When specifying regular tantalum capacitors for use at the input, a minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc
voltage + ac ripple) is highly recommended. This is standard practice to ensure reliability. Polymer-tantalum
capacitors are not affected by this requirement.
For improved ripple reduction on the input bus, ceramic capacitors can also be added to complement the
required electrolytic capacitance.

Output Capacitors (Optional)

No output capacitance is required for normal operation. However, applications with load transients (sudden
changes in load currrent) can benefit by adding external output capacitance. A 100-µF electrolytic or ceramic
capacitor can be used to improve transient response. Adding a 100-µF nonceramic capacitor allows the module
to meet its transient response specification. A high-quality computer-grade electrolytic capacitor should be
adequate.
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 m Ω (14 mΩ using the
manufacturer's maximum ESR for a single capacitor). A list of preferred low-ESR-type capacitors are identified in
Table 3, the recommended capacitor table.

Ceramic Capacitors
Above 150 kHz, the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors becomes less effective. To further improve
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. Also, to prevent the formation of local resonances, do not exceed the maximum
number of capacitors specified in the capacitor table.

Tantalum Capacitors
Additional tantalum-type capacitors can be used at both the input and 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 a number of 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
optional 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 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 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 PTH08080 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. Figure 11 shows the power-up waveforms for a PTH08080W, operating from a 12-V input and with the
output voltage adjusted to 1.8 V. The waveforms were measured with a 2-A resistive load.

t - Time = 5 ms/div

Current Limit Protection

The PTH08080 modules protect against load faults with an output overcurrent trip. 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 output voltage to enter into a hiccup mode of operation, whereby the module continues in a
cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault is removed. On removal of the fault, the output
voltage promptly recovers.

Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown protects the module 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 higher than normal output
current. If the junction temperature of the internal components exceeds 165°C, the module shuts down. This
reduces the output voltage to zero. The module starts up automatically, by initiating a soft-start power up when
the sensed temperature decreases 10°C below the thermal shutdown trip-point.

Output On/Off Inhibit

For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTH08080 power module incorporates an output
on/off Inhibit control (pin 5). 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 12 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit control
has its own internal pull-up to 3 volts. An open-collector or open-drain device is recommended to control this
input. Do not place an external pull-up on this pin.
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. A regulated output voltage is produced within
20 ms. Figure 13 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, Q1 VDS. The waveforms were measured with a 2-A resistive load.
