PT6900/6910 Series
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT6900/PT6910
Positive to Negative Converter Series
The negative output voltage of the Power Trends
PT6900 Series ISRs may be adjusted higher or lower
than the factory trimmed pre-set voltage with the addi-
tion of a single external resistor. Table 1 gives the
allowable adjustment range for each model in the series
as V
a (min) and Va (max).
Adjust Up:
An increase in the output voltage is
obtained by adding a resistor R2, between pin 2 (V
o ad-
just) and pin 8 (Remote Sense GND).
Adjust Down:
Add a resistor (R1), between pin 2 (V
o
adjust) and pin 22 (Remote Sense V
o).
Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for both the placement and value
of the required resistor, either (R1) or R2 as appropriate.
Notes:
1. Only a single 1% resistor is required in either the (R1) or
R2 location. Do not use (R1) and R2 simultaneously.
Place the resistor as close to the ISR as possible.
2. Never connect capacitors from V
o adjust to either GND,
V
out, or the Sense pins. Any capacitance added to the
V
o adjust pin will affect the stability of the ISR.
3. If the sense pins are not being used, the resistors (R1) and
R2 can be connected to V
out and GND respectively.
4. An increase in the output voltage must be accompanied by
a corresponding reduction in the maximum output current.
The revised maximum output current must be reduced to
the equivalent of 12Watts.

The respective values of (R1) [adjust down], and R2 [ad-
just up], can also be calculated using the following formulas.
