Adjusting the Output Voltages of the PT4701 &
PT4741 Quad-Output DC/DC Converters
The PT4741 quad-output DC/DC converter produces
two pairs of balanced ±V
o
complimentary output voltages.
The magnitude of each balanced pair of outputs may be
adjusted higher or lower by up to ±10%. The adjustment
method uses a single external resistor
1
, which adjusts the
magnitude of the respective +V
o
and –V
o
simultaneously.
The value of the resistor determines the magnitude of
adjustment, and the placement of the resistor determines the
direction of adjustment (increase or decrease). The resistor
values can be calculated using the appropriate formula
(see below). The formula constants are provided in
Table 3-2. Alternatively the resistor value may be selected
directly from Table 3-3 and Table 3-4, for ±Vo
1
and ±Vo
2
respectively. The placement of each resistor is as follows.
Adjust Up:
To increase the magnitude of the complimentary
output voltages, add a resistor R
1
between the appropriate
±Vo
x
Adj
(‘±Vo
1
Adj’ or ‘±Vo
2
Adj’) and the
-Vo
x
voltage rail.
See Figure 3-1(a) and Table 3-1 for the resistor placement
and pin connections.

Calculation of Resistor Adjust Values
The adjust resistor value may also be calculated using an
equation. Note that the equation for R

different to that for

, between the

(Vo

Notes:
1. Use only a single 1% (or better) tolerance resistor in
either the R
1
or
(R
2
)
location to adjust a specific output.
Place the resistor as close to the ISR as possible.
2. Never connect capacitors to any of the ‘Vo
x
Adj’ pins. Any
capacitance added to these control pins will affect the
stability of the respective regulated output.
