❏❏
❏❏
❏
The PT7748 is a new high-performance 17 Amp “Current Booster” for
the PT7720 Series housed in a 27-pin
SIP package. Multiple PT7748 boosters
will operate in parallel with the PT7720
Series boosting output current in increments of 17A . Combinations of
PT7720 and PT7748 current boosters
can easily supply enough power for virtually any multiple megaprocessor
application.
A PT7748 current booster adds a
parallel output stage driven by the
PT7720. As such, the system runs in
perfect sychronization providing a low
noise solution.
The PT7748 only operates in combination with the PT7720 series and is not a
stand-alone product. Therefore please
refer the PT7720 series data sheet for
performance specifications. The PT7748
also has the same mechanical dimensions
and package options as the PT7720 series.

Output Capacitors: The PT7720 series requires a minimum output capacitance of 1200µF for proper operation. Do not use Oscon type capacitors. The maximum allowable output capacitance
Is (57,000 ÷ Vout)µF, or 15,000µF, whichever is less.
Input Filter: An input inductor is optional for most applications. The input inductor must be sized to handle 7ADC with a typical value of 1µH. The input capacitance must be rated for a
minimum of 4.0 Arms of ripple current when operated at maximum output current and maximum output voltage. Contact an applications engineer for input capacitor selection for
applications at other output voltages and output currents.
