7.3 Pre-Bias Startup Capability
Only selected products in the PTH family incorporate this capability.
Consult Table 1 to identify which product series are compliant.
In complex digital systems an external voltage can sometimes be
present at the output of the module during power up. This voltage
may be backfed through a dual supply logic component, such as an
FPGA or ASIC. Another path might be via a clamp diode (to a lower
supply voltage) as part of a power-up sequencing implementation.
Although the PTH family of modules can sink current under steady-
state operating conditions, those that incorporate this capability will
not do so during the soft-start cycle
held low. However, to ensure the satisfactory operation of this feature
certain conditions must be maintained during the application of input
power
Note
The pre-bias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track
This is because when the module is under Auto-Track
fully active and will sink current if the output voltage is below that of
a back-feeding source. Therefore to ensure a pre-bias hold-off, one
of the following two techniques must be followed when input power
is first applied to the module. The Auto-Track
be disabled
The latter allows Auto-Track’s internal RC charge ramp to rise above
the setpoint voltage.

7.4 Margin Up/Down Controls
The PTHxx060W, PTHxx010W, PTHxx020W, and PTHxx030W
module series incorporate Margin Up and Margin Down control
inputs. These controls allow the output voltage set point to be
momentarily adjusted
provides a convenient method for dynamically testing the operation
of the load circuit over its power supply margin or range. The ±5%
change is applied to the adjusted output voltage as set by the
external resistor, R set at the V o Adjust pin.
The 5% adjustment is made by driving the appropriate margin
control input directly to the GND terminal
drain device, such as a MOSFET or p-channel JFET is recommended
for this purpose. Adjustments of less than 5% can also be
accommodated by adding series resistors to the control inputs (See
Figure 11). The value of the resistor can be selected from Table 6 or
calculated using the following formula.

To reduce the margin adjustment to something less than 5%, series
resistors are required (See R
