Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT3660,
PT4660, and PT4680 Dual-Output Converters
The dual output voltages from the PT3660/PT4660
(48V Bus), and PT4680 (24V Bus) series of DC/DC
converters can be independently adjusted by up to 10%,
higher or lower than the factory trimmed pre-set voltage.
The adjustment requires the addition of a single external
resistor
1
. Table 3-1 gives the adjustment range of Vo
1
and Vo
2
for each model in the series as V
a
(min) and
V
a
(max).
Vo
1
Adjust Down:
Add a resistor
(R
1
)
, between pin 13
(V
1
Adj) and pin 12 (Vo
1
)
2
.
Vo
1
Adjust Up:
To increase the output, add a resistor R
2
between pin 13 (V
1
Adj) and pin 14 (COM)
2, 4
.
Vo
2
Adjust Down:
Add a resistor
(R
3
)
between pin 20
(V
2
Adj) and pin 21 (Vo
2
)
2
.
Vo
2
Adjust Up:
Add a resistor R
4
between pin 20
(V
2
Adj) and pins 19 (COM)
2, 4
.
Refer to Figure 3-1 and Table 3-2 for both the placement and
value of the required resistor.
Notes:
1. Adjust resistors are not required if Vo
1
and Vo
2
are to
remain at their respective nominal set-point voltage.
In this case, V
1
Adj (pin 13) and V
2
Adj (pin 20) are
left open-circuit
2. Use only a single 1% resistor in either the
(R
1
)
or R
2
location to adjust Vo
1
, and in the
(R
3
)
or R
4
location
to adjust Vo
2
. Place the resistor as close to the converter
as possible.

3. Vo
2
must always be at least 0.3V lower than Vo
1
.
4.
The over-voltage protection
threshold is fixed, and is set
nominally 25% above the set-point output voltage.
Adjusting Vo
1
or Vo
2
higher will reduce the voltage
margin between the respective steady-state output
voltage and its over-voltage (OV) protection threshold.
This could make the module sensitive to OV fault
detection, as a result of random noise and load tran-
sients.
Note: An OV fault is a latched condition that shuts down
both outputs of the converter. The fault can only be cleared
by cycling one of the Enable control pins (EN
1
* / EN
2
), or
by momentarily removing the input power to the module.
5. Never connect capacitors to either the Vo
1
Adjust or
Vo
2
Adjust pins. Any capacitance added to these control
pins will affect the stability of the respective regulated
output.
The adjust up and adjust down resistor values can also be
calculated using the following formulas. Be sure to select
the correct formula parameter from Table 3-1 for the
output and model being adjusted.
