60-A, 3.3/5-V Input Non-Isolated
Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
PTH04040W
Pin Descriptions
GND:
This is the common ground connection for the
VI and Vout power connections. It is also the 0 VDC
reference for the control inputs.
V
I: The positive input voltage power node to the module,
which is referenced to common GND.
V
O: The regulated positive power output with respect to
the GND node.
Inhibit:
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 and turns off the output voltage. When the Inhibit
control is active, the input current drawn by the regula-
tor is significantly reduced. If the Inhibit pin is left
open-circuit, the module will produce an output when-
ever a valid input source is applied.
V
O Adjust: A 1%, 0.05-W resistor must be connected
between this pin and GND to set the output voltage
higher than the minimum value. The set-point range for
the output voltage is from 0.8 V to 3.6 V. If left open
circuit, the module output will default to its lowest output
voltage value. The resistor required for a given output
voltage may be calculated. For further information on
the adjustment and/or trimming of the output voltage,
consult the related Application Information. Note: The
specification table also gives the standard resistor values for a
number of common output voltages.
+Sense:
The sense inputs allow the regulation circuit
to compensate for voltage drop between the module and
the load. For optimal voltage accuracy +Sense should be
connected to V
O close to the load circuit. If it is left
open, a low-value internal resistor ensures that the output
remains in regulation.
–Sense:
For optimal voltage accuracy –Sense should be
connected to the ground return at the load. If it is left
open, a low-value internal resistor ensures that the out-
put remains in regulation.
UVLO Prog:
Connecting a resistor from this pin to signal
ground allows the ‘on’ threshold of the input under-volt-
age lockout (UVLO) to be adjusted higher than the
default value. For further information consult the Appli-
cation Information.
Track:
This is an analog control input that allows the
output voltage to follow another voltage during power-
up and power-down sequences. The pin is active from
0 V, up to the nominal set-point voltage. Within this
range the module’s output will follow the voltage at the
Track pin on a volt-for-volt basis. When the control
voltage is raised above this range, the module regulates
at its nominal output voltage. If unused this input should
be connected to V
I for a faster power-up. For further
information consult the related Application Informa-
tion.
Margin Down:
When this input is asserted to GND, the
output voltage is decreased by 5% from the nominal. The
input requires an open-collector (open-drain) interface.
It is not TTL compatible. A lower percent change can
be accommodated with a series resistor. For further in-
formation, consult the Application Information.
Margin Up:
When this input is asserted to GND, the output
voltage is increased by 5%. The input requires an open-
collector (open-drain) interface. It is not TTL compatible.
The percent change can be reduced with a series resistor.
For further information, consult the related Application
Information.
