Pin/Control Functions
PRELIMINARY
+IN/-IN DC VOLTAGE PORTS
The VTM input should not exceed the high end of the range
specified. Be aware of this limit in applications where the VTM
is being driven above its nominal output voltage. A 14 V source
must be applied to the VC pin and voltage must be present at
the +In and -In ports in order for the VTM to process power. If
the input voltage exceeds the over voltage lock-out, the VTM
will shutdown. The VTM does not have internal input reverse
polarity protection. Adding a properly sized diode in series with
the positive input or a fused reverse-shunt diode will provide
reverse polarity protection.
VC – VTM Control
The VC port is multiplexed. It receives the initial Vcc voltage
from an upstream PRM, synchronizing the output rise of the

14 V must be supplied to the VC port for approximately 10 ms in
order for the VTM to startup. The VTM can be operated at
input voltages below 26 V as long as the VC voltage is applied.
PC – Primary Control
The Primary Control (PC) pin is a multifunction pin for
controlling the VTM as follows:
Disable – If the PC is left floating, the VTM output
is enabled. To disable the output, the PC pin must be pulled
lower than 2.4 V, referenced to -In. Optocouplers, open
collector transistors or relays can be used to control the PC

TM – Temperature Monitor
source capability of the VTM is shown in the specification table.
The Temperature Monitor (TM) provides a linear output
proportional to the internal temperature of the VTM. At 300ºK
(+27ºC) the TM output is 3.0 V referenced to -In and varies
10 mV/ºC. TM accuracy is +/-5ºC. This feature is useful for
validating the thermal design of the system as well as
monitoring the VTM temperature in the final application.
To take full advantage of the VTM, the user should note the
low output impedance of the device. The low output impedance
provides fast transient response without the need for bulk POL
capacitance. Limited-life electrolytic capacitors required with
conventional converters can be reduced or even eliminated,
saving cost and valuable board real estate.
