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 V1out), or
V
2
(the voltage at V2out) may each be adjusted either up or
down using a single external resistor
2
. Table 1 gives the adjust-
ment range for both V
1
and V2 for each model in the series as
V
a
(min) and Va(max). Note that V2 must always be lower
than V
1
3.
V
1
Adjust Up: To increase the output, add a resistor R4 be-
tween pin 16 (V
1
Adjust) and pins 7-11 (GND) 2.
V
1
Adjust Down: Add a resistor (R3), between pin 16
(V1 Adjust) and pin 1 (V1 Remote Sense) 2.
V
2
Adjust Up: Add a resistor R2 between pin 23 (V2 Adjust)
and pins 7-11 (GND)
2
.
V
2
Adjust Down: Add a resistor (R1) between pin 23 (V2 Adjust)
and pin 22 (V
2
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, V1out and V2out, may be adjusted
independantly.
2. Use only a single 1% resistor in either the (R3) or R4 location to adjust V1, and in the (R1) or R2 location to adjust V2.
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
(V2 Remote Sense) to pin 23 (V2 Adjust). For more details,
consult the data sheet.

5. If V1 is increased above 3.3V, the minimum input voltage to
the ISR must also be increased. The minimum required
input voltage must be (V1 + 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
V2 Adjust pins. Any capacitance added to these control pins
will affect the stability of the respective regulated output.
7. Adjusting either voltage (V1 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.
