Pre-Bias Startup Capability
A prebias startup condition occurs as a result of an external
voltage being present at the output of a power module prior to
its output becoming active.This often occurs in complex digital
systems when current from another power source is backfed
through a dual-supply logic component, such as FPGA or
ASIC.
The PMR family of regulators incorporate synchronous
rectifiers, but will not sink current during startup, or whenever
the Inhibit pin is held low. However, to ensure satisfactory
operation of this function, certain conditions must be
maintained.
For more inforamtion, please refer to Application Note 205.
Turbo Trans
TM Technology
Turbo Trans
TM optimizes the transient response of the
regulator with added external capacitance using a single
external resistor. The benefits of this technology include:
reduced output capacitance, minimized output voltage
deviation following a load transient, and enhanced stability
when using ultra-low ESR output capacitors. The amout of
output capacitance required to meet a target output voltage
deviation, is reduded with Turbo Trans
TM activated. Likewise,
for a given amout of output capacitance, with Turbo Trans
TM
engaged, the amplitude of the voltage deviation following a
load transient is reduced. Applications requiring tight transient
voltage tolerances and minimized capacitor footprint area
benefit from this technology.
Utilizing Turbo Trans
TM requires connecting a resistor, RTT ,
between the +Sense pin (pin 17) and the Turbo Trans
TM pin
(pin 19), The value of the resistor directly corresponds to the
amount of output capacitance required. For the PMR
5118UW, the minimum required capacitance is 1000F. When
using Turbo Trans
TM, capacitors with a capacitance×ESR
product below 10,000 F×m are required.
To have a better understanding of the required capacitors with
Turbo Trans
TM, three types of capacitors are defined as below.

As an example, let’s look at a 12-V application requiring a 60
mv deviation during an 15A load transient. A majority of
470F, 10m output capacitors are used. Use the 12 V, Type
B capacitor chart. Dividing 60mV by 15A gives 4mV/A
transient voltage deviation per amp of transient load setp.
Select 4mV/A on the Y-axis and read across to the “With
TurboTrans” plot. Following this point down to the X-axis gives
us a minimum required output capacitance of approximately
1500F. The required RTT resistor value for 1500F can then
be calculated or selected from the below table. The required
RTT resistor is approximately 17.4K.
To see the benefit of Turbo Trans
TM, follow the 4mV/A marking
across to the “Without TurboTrans” plot. Following that point
down shows that you would need a minimum of 7500F of
output capacitance to meet the same transient deviation limit.
This is the benefit of Turbo Trans
TM .
A typical Turbo Trans
TM application schematic is also shown.
