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 divider network. Discrete transistors such as the BSS138, 2N7002, IRLML2402, or the 74C906 hex open-drain buffer are examples of appropriate devices. The ISRs related to Power Trends’ PT7705 incorporate pin-coded voltage control to adjust the ouput voltage. The control pins are identified VID0 - VID4 (pins 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6) respectively. When the 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. In each case, the program code and output voltage range offered by these ISRs are compatible with the voltage ID specification defined by Intel Corporation for voltage regulator modules (VRMs) used to power 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 setpoint. 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 powerup, pull pin 5 (STBY) to the device GND during the period that the input voltage is applied to Vin. Releasing pin 5 will then allow the device output to execute a softstart power-up to the programmed voltage. Notes: 1. The programming convention is as follows:Logic 0: Connect to pin12 (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 12 (Remote Sense Ground) as the logic “0” reference. While the regular ground (pins 13-19) can also be used for programming, doing so will degrade the load reglation of the product.

This feature may be used for power-up/shutdown sequencing, and to change the output voltage while input power is applied. See related notes: “Pin-coded Output Voltage Adjustment on the ‘Big Hammer’ Series ISRs.” The standby function is provided by the STBY* control, pin 5. If pin 5 is left open-circuit the regulator operates normally, providing a regulated output whenever a valid supply voltage is applied to Vin (pins 7-11) with respect to GND (pins 13-19). Connecting pin 5 to ground 2 will set the regulator output to zero volts3 . This places the regulator in standby mode, and reduces the input current to typcially 45mA (75mA max). If a ground signal is applied to pin 5 prior to power-up, the regulator output will be held at zero volts during the period that input power is applied. The standby input must be controlled with an opencollector (or open-drain) discrete transistor (See Figure 1). Table 1 gives the threshold requirements. Table 1 Inhibit Control Threshold 2 Parameter Min Max Disable (VIL) –0.1V 0.3V Notes: 1. The Standby/Inhibit control logic is similar for all Power Trends’ modules, but the flexibility and threshold tolerances will be different. For specific information on this function for other regulator models, consult the applicable application note. 2. The Standby input on the PT7705 regulator series must be controlled using an open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor. Do Not use a pull-up resistor. The control input has an open-circuit voltage of about 1.5Vdc. To set the regulator output to zero, the control pin must be “pulled” to less than 0.3Vdc with a low-level 0.1mA sink to ground. 3. When placed in the standby mode, the regulator output discharges the output capacitance with a low impedance to ground. If an external voltage is applied to the output, it will sink current and possibly over-stress the part. 4. The turn-off time of Q1, or rise time of the standby input is not critical on the PT7705 series. Turning Q1 off slowly, over periods up to 100ms, will not affect regulator operation. However, a slow turn-off time will increase both the initial delay and rise-time of the output voltage.
