Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PTH03050W &
PTH05050W Wide-Output Adjust Power Modules
The Vo Adjust control (pin 5) sets the output voltage to a
value higher than 0.8 V. The adjustment range of the
PT03050W (3.3-V input) is from 0.8 V to 2.5 V 1, and
the PTH05050W (5-V input) from 0.8 V to 3.6 V. The
adjustment method requires the addition of a single
external resistor, Rset, that must be connected directly
between the Vo Adjust and GND pins 2. Table 2-1 gives
the preferred value of the external resistor for a number
of standard voltages, along with the actual output volt-
age that this resistance value provides.
For other output voltages the value of the required resistor
can either be calculated using the following formula, or
simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2-2.
Figure 2-1 shows the placement of the required resistor.

Notes:
1. Modules that operate from a 3.3-V input bus should
not be adjusted higher than 2.5 V.
2. A 0.05-W resistor may be used. The tolerance should
be 1%, with temperature stability of 100 ppm/°C (or
better). Place the resistor as close to the regulator as
possible. Connect the resistor directly between pins 5
and 1 using dedicated PCB traces.
3. Never connect capacitors from Vo Adjust to either GND or
Vout. Any capacitance added to the Vo Adjust pin will affect
the stability of the regulator.
