The PSB 2121 is a pulse width modulator circuit designed for fixed-frequency switching regulators
with very low power consumption.
In telephony and ISDN systems a high conversion yield is crucial to maintain functionality in all
supply conditions via “S” or “U” interfaces. The PSB 2121 design and technology realize high
conversion efficiency and low power dissipation.
It should be recognized that the PSB 2121 can also be used in numerous DC/DC-conversion
systems other than ISDN-power supplies.

Together with few external components it provides a stable 5 V DC-supply for subscriber terminals
(TEs) or network terminations (NTs). It can also be programmed for higher output voltages, e.g. to
supply S-lines with 40 V.

Function
Output of the 4.0 V reference
voltage.
When the voltage difference
between these two pins exceeds
100 mV, the digital current limiting
becomes active.
All analog and digital signals are
referred to this pin.
Totem-pole output driver, has to be
connected with the gate of an
external power switch.
Output of the internal CMOS
supply. Via
V
EXT
the internal CMOS-
circuits can be supplied from an
external DC-supply in order to
reduce chip power dissipation.
The capacitor at this pin determines
the soft start characteristic.
