Description
The PT7761 is a high performance
integrated switching regulator (ISR),
housed in a solderable, 31-pin spacesaving copper package. Operating
from and input voltage of +5V, the
PT7761 provides up to 40A of lowvoltage power for the industry’s latest
DSPs, and µ-Processors.
The PT7761 performance extends
both the flexibility and output current
range of the “Big Hammer” series of
Plug-in Power modules, and provides
a state-of-the-art solution for highly
integrated digital systems that de-
mand high power supply currents at
low output voltages.
The PT7761 is programmable from
1.3V to 3.5V via a 5-bit input, which
is compatible with Intel’s Pentium®
series microprocessors.
The PT7761’s features include a
momentary-interrupt style of shortcircuit protection, a standby control,
and a differential remote sense to
compensate for voltage drop between
the ISR and load. For additional
output current the PT7761 can
operate with up to three current
boosters.

ISR-will operate down to no load with reduced specifications.
If the Remote Sense Ground (Pin 15) is not used, it must be connected to pin 16 for optimum output voltage accuracy.
The Standby control (pin 6) has an internal pull-up, and if left open-circuit the module will operate when input power is applied.
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 consult factory for the appropriate derating.
The case pins on the through-hole package types (suffixes N & A) must be soldered. For more information see the applicable package outline drawing.
External Capacitors: The PT7761 series requires a minimum ouput capacitance of 330µF for proper operation. The PT7761 also requires a minimum input capacitance
of 1,500µF, which must be rated for a minimum of 1.4Arms of ripple current. For transient or dynamic load applications, additional capacitance may be required.
For further information refer to the application note regarding capacitor selection for this product.
Input Inductor: An input inductor is optional for most applications. The input inductor must be sized to handle 30ADC with a typical value of 1µH.

Application Notes
PT7761, PT7769
Increasing the PT7761 Output Current with
the PT7769 Compatible Current Booster
product data sheet. Recommendations on specific
capacitor types are also detailed in the application note,
“Capacitor Recommendations for the PT7761
Integrated Switching Regulator.”
The PT7769 is a 40-A “Current Booster” module
for the PT7761 regulator. 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
three booster modules can be connected to a single
regulator. Each booster increases the available output
current by 40A. Combinations of a regulator and
booster modules can supply power for virtually any
multi-processor application.
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 30ADC 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.
4. A similar PCB footprint and trace layout between the
regulator and each booster will facilitate current sharing
between all modules.
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 PT7761/booster combination is identical to
that of a stand-alone regulator. Refer to the appropriate data sheet for the performance specifications.

Pin Function
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

Capacitor Recommendations for the
PT7761 Integrated Switching Regulator
Input Capacitors
The recommended input capacitance is determined by
1.4 ampere minimum ripple current rating and 1500µF
minimum capacitance. Capacitors listed below must be
rated for a minimum of 2x the input voltage with +5V
operation. Ripple current and ≤100mΩ 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 100mΩ. 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 with a minimum 10V rating are
recommended on the output bus, but only the AVX TPS
series, Sprague 594/595 series, or Kemet T495/T510
series. These AVX, Sprague, and Kemet capacitors are
specified over other types due to their higher surge current,
excellent power dissipation, and ripple current ratings. As a
caution, 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 also less reliable than the TPS series when determining 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.

Using the Standby Function on the PT7761
Excalibur™ Integrated Switching Regulator
For applications requiring output voltage On/Off control,
the PT7761 integrated switching regulator (ISR) module
incorporates a standby function. This feature may be used
for power-up/shutdown sequencing, and to change the
output voltage while input power is applied. See related
application notes: “Pin-Coded Output Voltage Adjustment
of PT7761 Excalibur ISRs.”

The standby function is provided by the STBY* control,
pin 6. If pin 6 is left open-circuit the regulator operates
normally, providing a regulated output whenever a valid
supply voltage is applied to Vin (pins 9–14) with respect to
GND (pins 16–22). Connecting pin 6 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 (60mA max). If a ground signal is applied
to pin 6 prior to power-up, the regulator output will be
held at zero volts during the period that input power is
applied.

Turn-On Time: Turning Q1 in Figure 1 off, removes the lowvoltage signal at pin 6 and enables the output. Following a
brief delay of approximately 10ms 3, the output voltage of
the PT7761 series regulators rise to full regulation within
15ms 3. Figure 2 shows the typical output voltage waveform of the PT7761 following the prompt turn-off of Q1 at
time t =0 secs. The output voltage in Figure 1 is set to 3.3V
by connecting VID0 (pin 1), VID2 (pin 3), and VID3 (pin 4)
to the Rem Sense GND (pin 15)*. The waveform in Figure 2
was measured with a +5V input source voltage, and 10A resistive load.

Notes:
1. The Standby input on the PT7761 regulator 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 equal to Vin. To set the
regulator output to zero, the control pin must be “pulled”
to less than 0.8Vdc with a 0.5mA sink to ground.
Vo (1V/Div)
Iin (5A/Div)
2. When placed in the standby mode, the regulator output
discharges the output capacitance with a low impedance to
ground.
3. The turn-off time of Q1, or rise time of the standby input
is not critical for the PT7761. 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.

PT7761
Pin-Coded Output Voltage Adjustment of
PT7761 “Excalibur™” 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, are examples of
appropriate devices.
The PT7761 Excalibur power module incorporates a
pin-coded output voltage control. These regulators include five control pins, identified VID0–VID4 (pins 1–5)
respectively. By selectively grounding VID0-VID4, the
output voltage of this regulator can be programmed in
incremental steps over the output voltage range, 1.3V to
3.5V. The program code and voltage range is designed to
be compatible with the “Voltage ID” specification defined
for popular microprocessors. Refer to Figure 1 for the
connection schematic, and the applicable data sheet for
the program code.
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. If the program code cannot be
asserted prior to power-up, pull pin 6 (STBY) to GND
during the period that the input voltage is applied. The
release of pin 6 will then to allow the device to initiate a
soft-start power-up to the program voltage.
Notes:
1. The programming convention is as follows:Logic 0:
Connect to pin15 (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. Use pin 15 (Rem Sense Gnd) as the logic “0” reference.
While the regular ground (pins 16–22) can also be used for
programming, doing so will degrade the load regulation of
the product. If the remote sense ground is not used,
pin 15 must be connected to pin 16 for optimum
output voltage accuracy.
