Description

The PT7709 is a next generation

“Big Hammer”, high-performance

Integrated Switching Regulator (ISR),

which is made available in Power

Trends’ aluminum 27-pin SIP pack-

age. The PT7709 improves on the

popular PT7705 with 20A of output

current and short circuit protection.

The PT7709 is suitable for exist-

ing 5V system designs that require

power for the latest high-speed, low-

voltage µPs, and bus drivers.

The PT7709 output is program-

mable from 1.3V to 3.5V with a 5-bit

input, which is compatible with the

remote sense is also provided to com-

pensate for voltage drop between the

ISR and load.

Only 330µF of output capacitance

are required for proper operation.

Cin = Required 1500µF electrolytic

Cout= Required 330µF electrolytic

L1 = Optional 1µH input choke

Notes: (1) ISR-will operate down to no load with reduced specifications.

(2) For operation below 0°C, Cin and Cout must have stable characteristics. Use either low ESR tantalum or Oscon® capacitors.

(3) See Safe Operating Area curves or contact the factory for the appropriate derating.

(4) If the Remote Sense Ground is not used, pin 12 must be connected to pin 13 for optimum output voltage accuracy.

External Capacitors: The PT7709 requires a minimum output capacitance of 330µF for proper operation. The PT7709 also requires an input capacitance of 1500µF,

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 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 20ADC with a typical value of 1µH.
