Adjusting the Output Voltage of the
PT6900 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 addition of a single external
resistor. Table 1 accordingly gives the allowable adjustment
range for each model in the series as Va (min) and Va (max).
Adjust Up: An increase in the output voltage is obtained by
adding a resistor R2, between pin 2 (V
o
adjust) 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. Use only a single 1% resistor in either the (R1) or R2 location. 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
Vo 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.
