PT6920/PT6930 Series
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT6920 and
PT6930 Dual Output Voltage ISRs
Each output voltage from the PT6920 and PT6930 series
of ISRs can be independantly adjusted higher or lower
than the factory trimmed pre-set voltage. V
1 (the voltage
at V
1out), or V2 (the voltage at V2out) may each be ad-
justed either up or down using a single external resistor 2.
Table 1 gives the adjustment range for both V
1 and V2 for
each model in the series as V
a(min) and Va(max).
Note
that V
2 must always be lower than V1
3.
V
1 Adjust Up:
To increase the output, add a resistor
R4 between pin 16 (V
1 Adjust) and pins 7-11 (GND)
2.
V
1 Adjust Down:
Add a resistor (R3), between pin 16
(V
1 Adjust) and pin 1 (V1 Remote Sense)
2.
V
2 Adjust Up:
Add a resistor R2 between pin 23
(V
2 Adjust) and pins 7-11 (GND)
2.
V
2 Adjust Down:
Add a resistor (R1) between pin 23
(V
2 Adjust) and pin 22 (V2 Remote Sense)
2.
Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for both the placement and value
of the required resistor.
Notes:
1. The output voltages, V
1out and V2out, may be
adjusted independantly.
2. Use only a single 1% resistor in either the (R3) or R4
location to adjust V
1, and in the (R1) or R2 location
to adjust V
2.
Place the resistor as close to the ISR as
possible.
3. V
2 must always be at least 0.2V lower than V1.
4. V
2 on both the PT6921 and PT6931 models may be
adjusted from 2.5V to 1.8V by simply connecting pin
22 (V
2 Remote Sense) to pin 23 (V2 Adjust).
For
more details, consult the data sheet.

5. If V
1 is increased above 3.3V, the minimum input
voltage to the ISR must also be increased. The
minimum required input voltage must be (V
1 + 1.2)V
or 4.5V, whichever is greater. Do not exceed 5.5V
6. Never connect capacitors to either the V
1 Adjust or
V
2 Adjust pins.
Any capacitance added to these
control pins will affect the stability of the respective
regulated output.
7. Adjusting either voltage (V
1 or V2) may increase the
power dissipation in the regulator, and
correspondingly change the maximum current
available at either output. Consult the factory for
application assistance.
The adjust up and adjust down resistor values can also be
calculated using the following formulas. Be sure to select
the correct formula parameter from Table 1 for the output
and model being adjusted.
