the pth05010 series of non-isolated power modules are small in size but big on performance and flexibility. their high output current, compact footprint, and industry-leading features offers system designers a versatile module for powering complex multi-processor digital systems. the series employs double-sided surface mount construction and provides high-performance step-down power conversion for up to 15 a of output current from a 5-v input bus voltage. the output voltage of the pth05010w can be set to any value over the range, 0.8 v to 3.6 v, using a single resistor. this series includes auto-track. auto-track simplifies the task of supply voltage sequencing in a power system by enabling modules to track each other, or any external voltage, during power up and power down. other operating features include an on/off inhibit, output voltage adjust (trim), and margin up/down controls. to ensure tight load regulation, an output voltage sense is also provided. a non-latching over-current trip serves as load fault protection. target applications include complex multi-voltage, multi-processor systems that incorporate the industrys high-speed dsps, micro-processors and bus drivers.
