17 AMP 12V INPUT “BIG-HAMMER II” PRO-
GRAMMABLE ISR
The PT7720 series is a new +12V input,
17A output, high-performance Integrated
Switching Regulator (ISR) housed in a 27-
pin SIP package. The 17A capability allows
easy integration of the latest high-speed,
low-voltage µPs and bus drivers into +12V
distributed power systems.
The PT7720 series has been designed
to work in parallel with one or more of the
PT7748 current boosters for increased Iout
in increments of 17A.
The output voltage of the PT7721 can
be easily programmed from 1.3V to 3.5V
with a 5 bit input compatible with Intel’s
Pentium IIProcessor. A differential re-
mote sense is also provided which
automatically compensates for any voltage
drop from the ISR to the load.
1200µF of output capacitance is re-
quired for proper operation.

ISR-will operate down to no load with reduced specifications. Please note that this product is not short-circuit protected.
** The PT7720 series can be easily paralleled with one or more of the PT7748 Current Boosters to provide increased output current in increments of 17A.
*** See Safe Operating Area chart.
Output Capacitors: The PT7720 series requires a minimum output capacitance of 1200µF for proper operation. Do not use Oscon type capacitors. The maximum allowable output capacitance
Is (57,000 ÷ Vout)µF, or 15,000µF, whichever is less.
Input Filter: An input inductor is optional for most applications. The input inductor must be sized to handle 7ADC with a typical value of 1µH. The input capacitance must be rated for a
minimum of 4.0 Arms of ripple current when operated at maximum output current and maximum output voltage. Contact an applications engineer for input capacitor selection for applications
at other output voltages and output currents.
