(1)
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.
(2)
A low-leakage (<100 nA), open-drain device, such as MOSFET or voltage supervisor IC, is recommended to control pin 20. When using
this feature, a 100k
pull-up resistor to VI is required. If unused, this pin must be directly connected to VI. See the Auto-Track section of
the datasheet for more information.
(3)
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 On/Off Inhibit section of the datasheet.
(4)
The PTH08T255W is a two-phase power module. Each phase switches at 300kHz 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.
(5)
A 1000 F electrolytic input capacitor is required for proper operation. The input capacitor must be rated for a minimum of 750 mA rms
of ripple current.
