Description
Ordering Information
The PT7720 series is a +12-V input,
17-A output, high-performance Integrated
Switching Regulator (ISR), housed in a
27-pin SIP package. The 17A capability
allows easy integration of the latest highspeed, low-voltage microprocessors and
bus drivers into +12V power systems.
The output voltage is programmable
using a 5-bit code. The output voltage
range and code for the PT7721 is compatible with Intel’s Pentium II processor.
The PT7720 series has been designed
to work in parallel with one or more of
the PT7748 current boosters, allowing
the output load current capacity to be
increased in increments of 17A.
A differential remote sense is provided
to compensate for voltage drop between
the ISR to the load. A 1200µF of output
capacitance is required for proper operation.

Notes: (1) The ISR will operate down to no load with reduced specifications. Please note that this product is not short-circuit protected.
(2) The PT7720 series can be easily paralleled with one or more of the PT7748 Current Boosters to provide increased output current in increments of 17A.
(3) See Safe Operating Area curves or contact the factory for the appropriate derating.
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 Arms of ripple current when operated at maximum output current and maximum output voltage. Contact an applications specialist
for input capacitor selection for applications at other output voltages and output currents.

Application Notes
PT7721/22, PT7748
Using the PT7748 17-A Current Booster
with the PT7720 Series Programmable ISRs
The PT7748 is a 17-A “Current Booster” module
for the PT7720 series of regulators. The booster is
controlled directly by the regulator, and effectively
adds a parallel output stage. This allows the system
to run sychronously, providing a low noise solution.
Up to four booster modules can be connected to a
single regulator. Each booster increases the available
output current by 17A. Combinations of a regulator
and booster modules can supply power for virtually
any multi-processor application.
the respective input/output filter notes in the PT7720
product data sheet.
2. The 1-µH filter choke located at the input of each
regulator and booster module (Lin) is optional for most
applications. If specified, each inductor must be sized
to handle 7ADC at full output load.
3. The pin-out of the current booster modules include a
number pins identified, “No Connect” (see Table 1).
These pins are not connected internally to the module
but must be soldered to a pad to preserve the unit’s
mechanical integrity.
A current booster is not a stand-alone product, and
can only operate with a regulator. It is housed in
the same package as its compatible regulator, and
shares the same mechanical outline. Except for an
increase in output current, the overall performance
of a PT7720 regulator/booster combination is identical to that of a stand-alone regulator. Refer to the
appropriate data sheet for the performance specifications.
4. A similar PCB footprint and trace layout between the
regulator and each booster will facilitate current sharing
between all modules.

Notes:
1. Each booster requires the same amount of input and
output capacitance as recommended for a stand-alone
regulator. See the Standard Application schematic and

Application Notes
PT7720 Series
Pin-Coded Output Voltage Adjustment on the
“Big Hammer II” Series ISRs
ground (pins 13-19) can also be used for programming,
doing so will degrade the load reglation of the product.
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
divider network. Discrete transistors such as the BSS138,
2N7002, or the IRLML2402 are examples of appropriate
devices.
Power Trends PT7720 series ISRs 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 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 of each ISR in the PT7720 series ISRs
can be programmed in incremental steps over its specified output voltage range. The output voltage ranges
offered by these regulators provide a convenient method
of voltage selection for many applications. In addition,
the program code and output voltage range of the PT7721
model is compatible with the voltage ID specification
defined by Intel Corporation for voltage regulator modules
(VRMs) used to power Pentium® II microprocessors.
Refer to Figure 2-1 below for the connection schematic,
and the PT7720 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
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 soft-start power-up
to the programmed voltage.
Notes:
1. The programming convention is as follows:Logic 0:
Logic 1:
Connect to pin12 (Remote Sense Ground).
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 (Sense
Ground) as the logic “0” reference. While the regular

PT7720 Series
Using the Standby Function on the PT7720
“Big Hammer II” Programmable ISRs
For applications requiring output voltage On/Off control,
the PT7720 “Big Hammer” ISRs incorporate a standby
function. This feature may be used for power-up/shutdown sequencing, and wherever there is a requirement
for the output status of the module to be controlled by
external circuitry.
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 1 will set
the regulator output to zero volts 2. This places the regulator in standby mode, and reduces the input current to
typcially 30mA (50mA 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 open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor (See Figure 3-1).
Table 3-1 gives the threshold requirements.

Notes:
1. The Standby input on the PT7720 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.

Turn-On Time: Turning Q1 in Figure 3-1 off, removes the
low-voltage signal at pin 5 and enables the output. Following a brief delay of 5-15ms, the output voltage of the
PT7720 series regulators rise to full regulation within
20ms3. Figure 3-2 shows the typical output voltage waveform of a PT7721, following the prompt turn-off of Q1 at
time t =0 secs. The output voltage in Figure 3-1 is set to
3.3V by connecting VID0 (pin 1), VID2 (pin 3), and
VID3 (pin 4) to the Sense Gnd (pin 12)*. The waveform in Figure 3-2 was measured with a 12-V input
source voltage, and 15-A resistive load.

2. 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.
3. The turn-off time of Q1, or rise time of the standby input
is not critical on the PT7720 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.
