(1)
For output voltages less than 1.2 V, the output ripple may increase (up to 2×) when operating at input voltages greater than (VO × 12).
Adjusting the switching frequency using the SmartSync feature may increase or decrease this ratio. Please review the SmartSync
section of the Application Information for further guidance.
(2)
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.
(3)
A low-leakage (<100 nA), open-drain device, such as MOSFET or voltage supervisor IC, is recommended to control pin 20. The
open-circuit voltage is less than 8 Vdc.
(4)
Do not place an external 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. For additional information, see the related application section.
(5)
The PTH08T250W is a two-phase power module. Each phase switches at 300 kHz typical, 180° out of phase from one another. The
over-all switching frequency is 600 kHz typical. SmartSync controls the frequency of an individual phase. When using SmartSync the
external synchronization frequency must be present before a valid input voltage is present, or before the release of inhibit control.
