ISR-will operate down to no load with reduced specifications.
For operation below 0°C, Cin and Cout must have stable characteristics. Use either low ESR tantalum or Oscon® capacitors.
See Safe Operating Area curves, or contact the factory for appropriate derating.
If the Remote Sense Ground is note used, pin 13 must be connected to pin 14 for optimum output voltage accuracy.
External Capacitors: The PT6721 requires a minimum output capacitance of 330µF, with a maximum ESR of 50mΩ @100kHz for proper operation. The maximum allowable output capacitance is 15,000µF. The input capacitance must be rated for a minimum of 1.6Arms of ripple current. For transient or dynamic load
applications, additional capacitance may be required. For more information refer to the application note regarding capacitor selection for this product.
Input Filter: An input filter inductor is optional for most applications. The inductor must be sized to handle 5ADC with a typical value of 1µH.

PT6701/PT6702/PT6721
Operating Features of the Programmable
PT6700 “Excalibur™” Series ISRs
Power Good
Programmable versions of the PT6700 Series regulators
incorporate a PWR Good output (pin 2). This output is
open-drain and generates an acitve-high signal when the
sensed output from the ISR is within a nominal ±10%
of the programmed set point. When the regulated output is
outside this range, pin 2 asserts a logic low (typically <0.1V).
A 10kΩ pull-up resistor to a valid bus voltage is required. If
the power good feature is not used, the pull-up resistor
can be omitted. The maximum voltage that may be applied
to the pull-up resistor is 15V.
2. The Standby input can also be interfaced to TTL or other
bi-directional output device using a schottky diode. See
Figure 1.
3. When placed in the standby mode, the regulator output
may assert a low impedance to ground. If an external
voltage is applied to the output, it will sink current and
possibly over-stress the part.

Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The PT6700 programmable regulators also incorporate
an OVP function. The OVP DRV (pin 1) normally has
a logic low output (typically <0.1V). When the ISR’s sensed
output exceeds the programmed output setting by 15%,
pin 1 produces a 60mA, +12V drive signal. This drive
signal can trigger an SCR, which can be used to disable
the input voltage, or alternatively interface to another
external monitoring device. When the ISR output voltage
returns to within 15% of its programmed setting, pin 1
reverts back to its low state. If the OVP function is not
used, pin 1 may be left open circuit.

If the STBY* input (pin 8) is left open-circuit the regulator
operates normally, providing a regulated output when a
valid supply voltage is applied to Vin (pins 10-12) with
respect to GND (pins 14-18). Connecting pin 8 to ground 1
places the regulator in standby mode, and reduces the
input current to typically 20mA (30mA max). Applying a
ground signal to pin 8 prior to power-up, will disable
the output during the period that input power is applied.
To ensure that the regulator output is fully enabled, pin 8 must
be allowed to rise to a minimum of 3.0V.

Turn-On Time
Turning Q1 in Figure 1 off, removes the low-voltage signal
at pin 8 and enables the output. Following a brief delay
of 10-15ms, the output voltage of the PT6700 regulator
rises to full regulation within 30ms. Figure 2 shows the
typical output voltage waveform of a PT6701 following the
prompt turn-off of Q 1 at time t =0 secs. The output
voltage was set to 2.5V. The waveforms were measured
with a 5V input source voltage, and 10A resistive load.

1. The standby on the PT6700 series is ideally controlled
with an open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor
(See fig. 1). Table 1 gives the threshold requirements. Do
Not use a pull-up resistor. The control input has an opencircuit voltage of about 4.0Vdc. To set the regulator
output to zero, the control pin must be “pulled” to less
than 1.0Vdc with a sink to ground.

PT6701/PT6702/PT6721 Series
Pin-Coded Output Voltage Adjustment on
Non-Isolated “Excalibur™” Series ISRs
4. If active devices are used to ground the voltage control
pins, low-level open drain MOSFET devices should be
used over bipolar transistors. The inherent Vce(sat) in
bipolar devices introduces errors in the device’s internal
voltage control circuit. Discrete transistors such as the
BSS138, 2N7002, IRLML2402, or the 74C906 hex open-drain
buffer are examples of appropriate devices.
The PT6701/6702/6721 Excalibur™ ISRs incorporate
a pin-coded voltage control to adjust the ouput voltage.
The control pins are identified VID0 - VID4 (pins 3–7)
respectively. When these control pins are left open-circuit
the ISR output will regulate at its factory trimmed output
voltage. Each pin is internally connected to a precision
resistor, which when grounded changes the output voltage
by a set amount. By selectively grounding VID0-VID4, the
output voltage these ISRs can be programmed in incremental steps over the specified output voltage range.
The program code and output voltage range of these
ISRs is compatible with the voltage ID specification
defined by Intel Corporation. The code is used in conjuction
with voltage regulator modules (VRMs) that are used to
power Intel’s Pentium® microprocessors. Refer to Figure 1
below for the connection schematic, and the respective
device Data Sheet for the appropriate programming code
information.
Active Voltage Programming:
Special precautions should be taken when making changes
to the voltage control progam code while the unit is powered. It is highly recommended that the ISR be either
powered down or held in standby. Changes made to
the program code while Vout is enabled induces high
current transients through the device. This is the result
of the electrolytic output capacitors being either charged
or discharged to the new output voltage set-point. The
transient current can be minimized by making only incremental changes to the binary code, i.e. one LSB at a time.
A minimum of 100µs settling time between each program state
is also recommended. Making non-incremental changes to
VID3 and VID4 with the output enabled is discouraged. If
they are changed, the transients induced can overstress the
device resulting in a permanent drop in efficiency. If the
use of active devices prevents the program code being
asserted prior to power-up, pull pin 8 (STBY) to the device
GND during the period that the input voltage is applied to
Vin. Releasing pin 8 will then allow the device output to
initiate a soft-start power-up to the programmed voltage.
Notes:
1. The programming convention is as follows:Logic 0:
Connect to pin13 (Remote Sense Ground).
Logic 1:
Open circuit/open drain (See notes 2, & 4)
2. Do not connect pull-up resistors to the voltage
programming pins.
3. To minimize output voltage error, always use pin 13
(Remote Sense Ground) as the logic “0” reference. While
the regular ground (pins 14-18) can also be used for
programming, doing so will degrade the load regulation of
the product.

PT6721/6725 Series
Capacitor Recommendations for the
PT6721 and PT6725 Series Regulators
Input Capacitors
The recommended input capacitance is determined by
1.6 ampere minimum ripple current rating and 1000µF
minimum capacitance. Tantalum capacitors listed below
cannot be used on the input bus since they are not rated
for 12V operation. Ripple current and Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) values are the major considerations along
with temperature when selecting the proper capacitor.
Output Capacitors
The minimum required output capacitance is 330µF with
a maximum ESR less than or equal to 50mW. Failure to
observe this requirement may lead to regulator instability
or oscillation. Electrolytic capacitors have poor ripple
performance at frequencies greater than 400kHz, but
excellent low frequency transient response. Above the ripple
frequency ceramic decoupling capacitors are necessary to
improve the transient response and reduce any microprocessor high frequency noise components apparent during
higher current excursions. Preferred low ESR type
capacitor part numbers are identified in the Table 1 below.
Tantalum Characteristics
Tantalum capacitors are recommended on the output bus
but only TPS Series, Sprague 593D/594/595 Series, or
Kemet T495/T510 Series. The AVX TPS Series, Sprague
Series or Kemet Series tantalum capacitors are recommended over other manufacturer’s due to their higher
surge current, excellent power dissipation and ripple current
ratings. As an example, the TAJ Series by AVX is not
recommended. This series exhibits considerably higher
ESR, reduced power dissipation and lower ripple current
capability. The TAJ Series is a less reliable compared to
the TPS series when comparing power dissipation
capability.
Capacitor Table
Table 1 identifies the characteristics of capacitors from a
number of vendors with acceptable ESR and ripple current
(rms) ratings. The suggested minimum quantities per
regulator for both the input and output buses are identified.
This is not an extensive capacitor list. The table below is a
selection guide for input and output capacitors. Other capacitor
vendors are available with comparable RMS ripple current rating
and ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance at 100kHz). These critical
parameters are necessary to insure both optimum regulator performance and long capacitor life.
