PT6900/6910 Series
Adjusting the Output Voltage of the PT6900/PT6910
Positive to Negative Converter Series
The negative output voltage of the Power Trends
PT6900 Series ISRs may be adjusted higher or lower
than the factory trimmed pre-set voltage with the addi-
tion 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).
An increase in the output voltage is
obtained by adding a resistor R2, between pin 2 (V
o
ad-
just) and pin 8 (Remote Sense GND).

Refer to Figure 1 and Table 2 for both the placement and value
of the required resistor, either
(R1)
or R2 as appropriate.
Notes:

R2 location. Do not use
(R1)
and R2 simultaneously.
Place the resistor as close to the ISR as possible.
2. Never connect capacitors from V
adjust to either GND,
V
out
, or the Sense pins. Any capacitance added to the
V
adjust pin will affect the stability of the ISR.
3. If the sense pins are not being used, the resistors
(R1)
and
R2 can be connected to V
and GND respectively.
4. An increase in the output voltage must be accompanied by
a corresponding reduction in the maximum output current.
The revised maximum output current must be reduced to
the equivalent of 12Watts.
