The PT6520 series is Power T
rends’
new high performance +3.1 to 6V
input, 8 Amp, 14-Pin SIP (Single In-
line-Package) Integrated Switching
Regulator (ISR). This high-perfor-
mance ISR allows easy integration of
high-speed, low-voltage microproces-
sors, ASICs, DSPs and their support
logic into existing 3.3V or 5V systems
without redesigning the central power
supply. The high-performance PT6522
solves the problem of providing the low
terminating voltages required by BTL/
Futurebus+, CTT, HP, and GTL Buses
from existing 3.3V or 5V power rails
without redesigning the central power
supply.

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 for appropriate derating.
Input/Output Capacitors :
The PT6520 Series requires a 330µF electrolytic or tantalum input and output capacitor for proper operation in all applications. In addition the input
capacitance, C
1
, must be rated for a minimum of 1.2Arms ripple current. For transient or dynamic load applications, additional capacitance may be required.

Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT6520 Low
Input Voltage Bus ISRs
The output voltage of the Power Trends PT6520 Series ISRs
may be adjusted higher or lower than the factory trimmed pre-
set voltage with the addition of a single external resistor. Table 1
gives the allowable adjustment range for each model in the series
as V
a
(min) and V
a
(max).
Adjust Up:
An increase in the output voltage is obtained by
adding a resistor R2, between pin 14 (V
o
adjust) and pins 7-10
(GND).
Adjust Down:
Add a resistor
(R1),
between pin 14 (V
o
adjust)
and pin 1 V
o
(sense)
3
.
Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for both the placement and value
of the required resistor, either
(R1)
or R2 as appropriate.
Notes:
1. Use only a single 1% resistor in either the
(R1)
or R2 loca-
tion. Place the resistor as close to the ISR as possible.
2. Never connect capacitors from V
o
adjust to either GND,
V
out
, or the Remote Sense pin. Any capacitance added to
the V
o
adjust pin will affect the stability of the ISR.
3. If the Remote Sense feature is not being used, the resistor
(R1)
may be connected between pin 14 (V
o
adjust) and pins
11-13 (V
out
).
4. Adjusting the output voltage of the PT6523 (2.5V model)
higher than the factory pre-trimmed output voltage may
increase the minimum input voltage specified for the part.
This model must comply with the following requirements.

Using the Standby Function on the PT6520 3.3/5V
Bus Converters
The PT6520 series are high efficiency regulators that are de-
signed to operate off low input bus voltages. The regulators are
also pin-compatible with Power Trends’ PT6500/6600 series.
These devices feature a standby function, which may be used in
applications that require 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 3.
If pin 3 is left open-circuit the regulator operates normally, and
provides a regulated output when a valid supply voltage is ap-
plied to V
in
(pins 4, 5, & 6) with respect to GND (pins 7-10). If
a low voltage
3
is then applied to pin 3 the regulator output will
be disabled and the input current drawn by the ISR will typically
drop to 5mA
4
. The standby control may also be used to hold-off
the regulator output during the period that input power is ap-
plied.
Pin 3 is ideally controlled with an open-collector (or open-drain)
discrete transistor (See Figure 1). The open-ciruit voltage is
typcially 12.6V. Table 1 gives the circuit parameters for this
control input.

Turn-On Time:
In the circuit of Figure 1, turning Q
1
on applies a
low voltage to the Standby control (pin 3) and disables the regu-
lator ouput. Correspondingly, turning Q
1
off removes the
low-voltage signal and enables the output. Once enabled, the
output will typically experience a 10–15ms delay followed by a
predictable ramp-up of voltage. The regulator should provide a
fully regulated output voltage within 40ms. The waveform of
Figure 2 shows the output voltage response of a PT6521 (3.3V)
following the turn-off of Q
1
at time t = 0.0 secs. The waveform
was measured with a 5Vdc input voltage, and 0.6Ω load.
Notes:
1. The operation of the Standby/Inhibit 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 control input requires no external pull-up resis-
tor. The open-circuit voltage of the STBY* pin is typically
12.6V.
3. The standby control input is
Not
compatible with TTL or
other devices that incorporate a totem-pole output drive.
Use only a true open-collector device, preferably a discrete
bipolar transistor (or MOSFET). T ensure the regulator
o
output is disabled, the control pin must be pulled to less than
0.2Vdc with a low-level 0.5mA sink to ground.
4. When the regulator output is disabled the current drawn
from the input source is typically reduced to 5mA.
