ADP1043A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1043A is a secondary side power supply controller IC
designed to provide all the functions that are typically needed in
an ac-to-dc or isolated dc-to-dc control application.
The ADP1043A is optimized for minimal component count,
maximum flexibility, and minimum design time. Features
include remote voltage sense, local voltage sense, primary and
secondary side current sense, pulse-width modulation (PWM)
generation, and hot-swap sense and control. The control loop is
digital with an integrated programmable digital filter. Protection
features include current limiting, ac sense, undervoltage lockout
(UVLO), and overvoltage protection (OVP).
The built-in EEPROM provides extensive programming of the
integrated loop filter, PWM signal timing, inrush current, and
soft start timing and sequencing. Reliability is improved through
a built-in checksum and redundancy of critical circuits.
A comprehensive GUI is provided for easy design of loop filter
characteristics and programming of the safety features. The
industry-standard I

The ADP1043A is a secondary side controller for switch mode
power supplies (SMPS). It is designed for use in isolated redundant applications. The ADP1043A integrates the typical functions
that are needed to control a power supply. These include
• Output voltage sense and feedback
• Digital loop filter compensation
• PWM generation
• Current sharing
• Current, voltage, and temperature sense
• OrFET control
• Housekeeping and I
2
C interface
•Calibration and trimming
The main function of controlling the output voltage is performed
using the feedback ADCs, the digital loop filter, and the PWM
block. The feedback ADCs use a multipath approach (patent
pending). The ADP1043A combines a high speed, low resolution
(fast and coarse) ADC and a low speed, high resolution (slow and
accurate) ADC. Loop compensation is implemented using the
digital filter. This PID (proportional, integral, derivative) filter is
implemented in the digital domain to allow easy programming
of filter characteristics, which is of great value in customizing
and debugging designs.
The PWM block generates up to seven programmable PWM
outputs for control of FET drivers and synchronous rectification
FET drivers. This programmability allows many traditional and
unique switching topologies to be realized.
A current share bus interface provides for parallel power supplies.
The part also has hot-swap OrFET sense and control for N + 1
redundant power supplies.
Conventional power supply housekeeping features, such as remote
and local voltage sense and primary and secondary side current
sense, are included. An extensive set of protections is offered,
including overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection
(OCP), overtemperature protection (OTP), undervoltage protection (UVP), ground continuity monitoring, and ac sense.
All these features are programmable through the I
2
C bus interface. This bus interface is also used to calibrate the power supply.
Other information, such as input current, output current, and
fault flags, is also available through the I
2
C bus interface.
The internal EEPROM can store all programmed values and
allows standalone control without a microcontroller. A free,
downloadable GUI is available that provides all the necessary
software to program the ADP1043A. For more information
about the GUI, contact Analog Devices, Inc., for the latest
software and a user guide.
The ADP1043A operates from a single 3.3 V supply and is
specified from −40°C to +85°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
CURRENT SENSE
The ADP1043A has two individual current sense inputs: CS1
and CS2±. These inputs sense, protect, and control the output
current and the share bus information. They can be calibrated
to remove any errors due to external components.
CS1 Operation (CS1)
CS1 is typically used for the monitoring and protection of the
primary side current. This is commonly known as the current
transformer (CT) method of current sensing. The input signal
at the CS1 pin is fed into an ADC for current monitoring. The
range of the ADC is 0 V to 1.38 V. The input signal is also fed
into a comparator for fast OCP protection. The typical configuration for the current sense is shown in Figure 10.

The comparator effectively measures peak current, and the

This information is available through the I
thresholds and limits can be set for CS1, such as OCP. These
thresholds and limits are described in the Current Sense and

CS2 Operation (CS2+, CS2−)
CS2± is used for the monitoring and protection of the secondary
side current. The full-scale range of the CS2 ADC is 225 mV. The
nominal full load voltage drop can be configured for 37.5 mV,
75 mV, or 150 mV. The differential inputs are fed into an ADC
through a pair of external resistors. When using low-side current
sensing, a 10 k resistor is required. When using high-side current
sensing, a 110 k resistor is required (for a 12 V application).
Low-side current sensing is recommended because it provides
improved performance compared with high-side current sensing.
High-side current sensing is not supported for applications
where the output voltage is above 20 V common mode. (There
is not enough offset trim range above 20 V common mode.)
Typical configurations are shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12.
Various thresholds and limits can be set for CS2, such as OCP.
These thresholds and limits are described in the Current Sense
and Current Limit Registers section.
When not in use, both CS2 inputs should be connected through
10 k resistors to PGND.

ADP1043A
VOLTAGE SENSE AND CONTROL LOOP
Multiple voltage sense inputs on the ADP1043A are used for the
monitoring, control, and protection of the power supply output.
The voltage information is available through the I
All voltage sense points can be calibrated digitally to remove
any errors due to external components. This calibration can be
performed in the production environment, and the settings can
be stored in the EEPROM of the ADP1043A (see the Power
Supply Calibration and Trim section for more information).
The update rate of the ADC from a control loop standpoint
is set to the switching frequency. Therefore, if the switching
frequency is set to 100 kHz, the ADC outputs a signal every
100 kHz to the control loop. Because the Σ- modulators of the
ADC sample at 1.6 MHz, the output of the ADC is the average
of the 16 readings taken during the 1.6 MHz time frame.
For voltage monitoring, the VS1, VS2, and VS3 voltage value
registers are updated every 10 ms. The ADP1043A stores every
ADC sample for 10 ms and then outputs the average value at the
end of the 10 ms period. Therefore, if these registers are read at
least every 10 ms, a true average value is read. The same applies
to the CS1 and CS2 current readings.
For the control loop, the high speed signal always comes from
the VS1 high speed ADC. The low speed signal normally comes
from the VS3 low speed ADC. However, during soft start or in
response to a load OVP or other fault condition, the ADP1043A
can switch its low speed regulating point from VS3 to VS1.

VS1 Operation (VS1)
VS1 is used for the monitoring and protection of the power
supply voltage at the output of the LC stage, upstream of the
OrFET. This is also the high frequency feedback loop for the
power supply. The VS1 sense point on the power rail needs an
external resistor divider to bring the nominal common-mode
signal to 1 V at the VS1 pin (see Figure 13). The resistor divider
is necessary because the ADP1043A VS1 ADC input range is
0 V to 1.55 V. This divided-down signal is internally fed into a
high speed and a low speed Σ- ADC. The output of the VS1
ADCs goes to the digital filter.
The high speed ADC has a 2 MHz bandwidth and is run from
a 25 MHz clock. It has a range of ±18 mV. When the sampling
rate is 200 kHz, there is 0.6 mV (two LSBs) of quantization noise.
Increasing the sampling rate to 400 kHz increases the quantization noise to 1.2 mV.
In the event of a load overvoltage condition, the power supply
is regulated from the VS1 sense point, rather than from the
VS3 sense point.
VS2 Operation (VS2)
VS2 is typically used for the monitoring and protection of the
output of the power supply, downstream of the OrFET. It is
used with VS1 to control the OrFET gate drive turn-on. The
VS2 sense point on the power rail needs an external resistor
divider to bring the nominal common-mode signal to 1 V at
the VS2 pin (see Figure 13). The resistor divider is necessary
because the ADP1043A VS2 ADC input range is 0 V to 1.55 V.
This divided-down signal is internally fed into an ADC. The
output of the VS2 ADC goes to the VS2 voltage value register
(Register 0x16).
VS3 Operation (VS3+, VS3−)
VS3± is used for the monitoring and protection of the remote
load voltage. It is a fully differential input. This is the main
feedback sense point for the power supply control loop. The
VS3 sense point on the power rail needs an external resistor
divider to bring the nominal common-mode signal to 1 V at
the VS3± pins (see Figure 13). The resistor divider is necessary
because the ADP1043A VS3 ADC input range is 0 V to 1.55 V.
This divided-down signal is internally fed into an ADC. The
output of the VS3 ADC goes to the digital filter.
ADCs
The ADP1043A includes several ADCs. The high speed ADC is
described in the VS1 Operation (VS1) section. The other ADCs
are low speed, high resolution. They have a 1 kHz bandwidth
and 12-bit resolution. Each ADC has its own voltage reference
for added protection from potential failure. The digital output
of each ADC is readable through the appropriate value register.

DIGITAL FILTER
The loop response of the power supply can be changed using
the internal programmable digital filter. A Type 3 filter architecture has been implemented. To tailor the loop response to
the specific application, the low frequency gain, zero location,
pole location, and high frequency gain can all be set individually
(see the Digital Filter Programming Registers section). It is
recommended that the Analog Devices software GUI be used to
program the filter. The software GUI displays the filter response
in Bode plot format and can be used to calculate all stability
criteria for the power supply.
From the sensed voltage to the duty cycle, the transfer function
of the filter in z-domain is as follows:

where:

The digital filter introduces an extra phase delay element into
the control loop. The digital filter circuit sends the duty cycle
information to the PWM circuit at the beginning of each switching cycle (unlike an analog controller, which makes decisions on
the duty cycle information continuously). Therefore, the extra
phase delay for phase margin, Φ, introduced by the filter block is
Φ = 180 × (f
C/fSW
)
where:
f
is the crossover frequency.
C
f
is the switching frequency.
SW
At one tenth of the switching frequency, the phase delay is 18°.
The GUI incorporates this phase delay into its calculations.
Two sets of registers allow for two distinct filter responses. The
main filter, called the normal mode filter, is controlled by
programming Register 0x60 to Register 0x63. The other filter,
called the light load mode filter, is controlled by programming
Register 0x64 to Register 0x67. The ADP1043A uses the light
load mode filter only when the modulation is below the load
current threshold (programmed through Register 0x3B).

The Analog Devices software GUI allows the user to program
the light load mode filter in the same manner as the normal

purpose.
In addition, during the soft start process, a different set of
digital filters is used. The soft start filter value for a, b, and c in
Equation 1 is 0, and the d value is programmed through the soft
start filter gain setting (Register 0x5F[1:0]).
PWM AND SYNC RECT OUTPUTS (OUTA, OUTB,
OUTC, OUTD, OUTAUX, SR1, SR2)
The PWM and SR outputs are used for control of the primary
side drivers and the synchronous rectifier drivers. These outputs
can be used for several control topologies, including full-bridge,
phase-shifted ZVS, and interleaved two switch forward converter
configurations. Delays between rising and falling edges can be
individually programmed. Special care must be taken to avoid
shoot-through and cross-conduction. It is recommended that
the Analog Devices software GUI be used to program these
outputs. Figure 14 shows an example configuration to drive a
full-bridge, phase shift topology with synchronous rectification.

The PWM and SR outputs all work together. Therefore, when
reprogramming more than one of these outputs, it is important to
first update all the registers, and then latch the information into
the ADP1043A at one time. During reprogramming, the outputs
are temporarily disabled. A special instruction is sent to the
ADP1043A to ensure that new timing information is programmed
simultaneously. This is done by setting Register 0x5D[0] to 1. It is
recommended that PWM outputs be disabled when not in use.
OUTAUX is an additional PWM output pin; OUTAUX allows
an extra PWM signal to be generated at a different frequency
from the other six PWM outputs. This signal can be used to
drive an extra power converter stage, such as a buck controller
located in front of a full-bridge converter. OUTAUX can also be
used as a clock reference signal.

ADP1043A
SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION
SR1 and SR2 are recommended for use as the PWM control
signals when using synchronous rectification. These PWM
signals can be set up similarly to the other PWM outputs. The
turn-on of these signals can be programmed in two ways. They
can either be turned on to their full PWM value immediately, or
they can be turned on in a soft start fashion. When turned on
in a soft start, the signals ramp up from zero duty cycle to the
desired duty cycle. The advantage of ramping the SR signals is
to minimize a voltage step that would occur by turning the SR
FETs on completely. The advantage of turning the SR signals
completely on immediately is that they can help to minimize
the voltage transient caused by a load step.
Using Register 0x54[1], the SR soft start can be programmed to
occur just once, the first time that the SR signals are enabled, or
every time that the SR signals are enabled.
When programming the ADP1043A to use SR soft start, ensure
correct operation of this function by setting the falling edge of
) to a lower value than the rising edge of SR1 (t9) and by
SR1 (t

setting the falling edge of SR2 (t

11
) to a lower value than the
12
The speed of the SR enable is approximately 200 s. This ensures
that in case of a load step, the SR signals (and any other PWM
outputs that are temporarily disabled) can be turned on quickly
enough to prevent damage to the FETs that they are controlling.
ADAPTIVE DEAD TIME CONTROL
A set of registers called the adaptive dead time (ADT) registers
(Register 0x68 to Register 0x6F) allows the dead time between
PWM edges to be adapted on-the-fly. The ADP1043A uses the
ADT only when the modulation is below the dead time (load
current) threshold (programmed in Register 0x68). The Analog
Devices software GUI allows the user to easily program the
dead time values, and it is recommended that the software be
used for that purpose.
Each individual PWM rising and falling edge (t
to t14) can then
1
be programmed to have a specific dead time offset. This offset
can be positive or negative. The offset is relative to the nominal
edge position. For example, if t
100 ns and the ADT setting for t
has a nominal rising edge of
1
is −15 ns, t1 moves to 85 ns
1
when it falls below the adaptive dead time threshold. The dead
times are programmed using Register 0x69 to Register 0x6F.
LIGHT LOAD MODE
Register 0x3B allows the ADP1043A to shut down PWM
outputs under light load conditions. The light load current
threshold can be programmed. Below this current threshold,
the SR outputs are disabled. The user can also program any of
the other PWM outputs to shut down below this current threshold. This allows the ADP1043A to be used with an interleaved
two transistor forward topology, incorporating phase shedding
at light load. The light load mode digital filter is also used
during light load mode.
Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 72
MODULATION LIMIT
Using the modulation limit register (Register 0x2E), it is possible to
apply a maximum modulation limit and a minimum modulation
limit to any PWM signal, thus limiting the modulation range of
any PWM. These limits are a percentage of the switching period.
If the modulation required is lower than the minimum setting,
pulse skipping can be enabled.
Following is an example of how to use the modulation limit
settings. In this example, the switching cycle period is 4 s
and modulation on the t
nominal position of t
edge (falling edge) is enabled. The
2
is set to 1.6 s, which is 40% of the 4 s
2
period. The modulation high limit is set to (nominal + 50%).
Therefore, the modulation high limit is (40% + 50%) = 90% of
the switching cycle period; 90% of 4 s = 3.6 s. The modulation
low limit is set to (nominal − 35%). Therefore, the modulation
low limit is (40% − 35%) = 5% of the switching cycle period;
5% of 4 s = 0.2 s.
The GUI provided with the ADP1043A is recommended for
evaluating this feature of the ADP1043A (see Figure 15).

OrFET CONTROL (GATE)
The GATE control signal drives an external OrFET. The OrFET
gate control is used to protect against power flow into the power
supply from another supply. This ensures that power flows only
out of the power supply and that the unit can be hot-swapped.
The OrFET circuit can be used only when the ADP1043A is
connected to a sense resistor on the low side. The OrFET circuit
is not guaranteed for operation with high-side current sensing.
The GATE pin is an open-drain, N-channel MOSFET. An
external 2.2 kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended. Its output is
normally high to keep the OrFET turned off. When the start-up
criteria have been achieved, the GATE output is pulled low,
allowing the OrFET to turn on. The OrFET turn-on and turnoff thresholds can be individually programmed. The GATE
outputs are CMOS levels (0 V to 3.3 V). An external driver is
required to turn the OrFET on or off.
The OrFET can be turned off by three methods:
Fault flag (any fault flag can be programmed to turn off the
•
OrFET)
•
Fast OrFET control circuit
•
Accurate OrFET control circuit
Fast OrFET control looks at the reverse voltage across CS2+
and CS2− and is implemented using an analog comparator
(see Figure 16). If the voltage difference between CS2+ and
CS2− is greater than the fast OrFET threshold programmed
in Register 0x30, the OrFET is turned off.
ADP1043A
Accurate OrFET control also uses the reverse voltage across the
CS2+ and CS2− pins to disable the OrFET (see Figure 16). If the
voltage difference between CS2+ and CS2− is greater than 0 mV,
the OrFET is disabled. The accurate OrFET circuit is more accurate, but it is slower than the fast OrFET circuit.
The OrFET turn-on circuit looks at the voltage difference
between VS1 and VS2 (see Figure 16). When the forward
voltage drop from VS1 to VS2 is greater than the programmable OrFET enable threshold (Register 0x30[5:4]), the
OrFET is enabled. The OrFET enable threshold can be set to
−0.5%, 0%, 1%, or 2% of the nominal output voltage (12 V).

OrFET Operation Examples
Hot Plug into a Live Bus
A new PSU is plugged into a live 12 V bus (yellow). The internal
voltage VS1 (red) is ramped up before the OrFET is turned on.
After the OrFET is turned on (green), current in the new PSU
begins to flow to the load (blue). The turn-on voltage threshold
between the new PSU and the bus is programmable.

Short Circuit
When one of the output rectifiers fails, the bus voltage can
collapse if the OrFET is not promptly turned off. The fast
OrFET comparator is used to protect the system from this fault
event. Figure 19 shows a short circuit applied to the output
capacitors, before the OrFET. After the fast OrFET threshold for
CS2 (blue) is triggered, the OrFET (green) is turned off. In this
case, the gate driver is not very fast and takes about 500 ns. (A
larger buffer to drive the OrFET would turn it off quicker.)
Figure 19 also shows the operation when the short circuit is
removed. The internal regulation point, VS1 (red), returns to
12 V, and the OrFET (green) is reenabled. The PSU again begins
to contribute current to the load (blue).

A rogue PSU on the bus (yellow) has a fault condition, and the
result is that the bus voltage increases above the OVP threshold.
The good PSU turns off the OrFET (green) and regulates its

ADP1043A
VDD
When VDD is applied, a certain time elapses before the part is
capable of regulating the power supply. When the VDD rises
above the power-on reset and UVLO levels, it takes approximately 20 s for VCORE to reach its operational point of 2.5 V.
The EEPROM contents are then downloaded to the registers.
The download takes an additional 25 s (approximately). After
the EEPROM download, the ADP1043A is ready for operation.
If the ADP1043A is programmed to power up at this time, the
soft start ramp begins.
VDD/VCORE OVLO
The ADP1043A has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) on
its supply rails. When the VDD or VCORE voltage rises above
the OVLO threshold, the response can be programmed. This
circuit can be set to be ignored, but it is recommended that the
user not program the OVP circuit to be ignored.
POWER GOOD
The ADP1043A has two power-good pins. The PGOOD1 pin
and fault flag are set when any of the following conditions are
out of range: power supply, CS1 fast OCP, CS1 accurate OCP,
CS2 accurate OCP, UVP, local OVP, or load OVP.
The PGOOD2 pin and fault flag are set when any flag is set:
power supply, OrFET, CS1 fast OCP, CS1 accurate OCP, CS2
accurate OCP, voltage continuity, UVP, accurate OrFET disable,
ACSNS, external flag (FLAGIN), VCORE OV, VDD OV, local
OVP, load OVP, OTP, CRC fault, and EEPROM unlocked.
If Register 0x2D[3] is set, PGOOD2 looks only at the flags that
are not programmed to be ignored.
The PGOOD2 pin can also be used as an interrupt pin to notify
a host controller that a flag has been set. The polarity of the
PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 pins is configured as active low.

The soft start begins to ramp up the power supply voltage
SOFT START
A dedicated filter is used during soft start. The filter is disabled
at the end of the soft start routine, and the voltage loop digital
filter is used.
Fault Condition During Soft Start
If a CS1 fast OCP fault condition occurs during soft start, the
entire soft start routine is reset, and the ADP1043A begins another
soft start routine. All other fault flags are ignored during soft start.

CURRENT SHARING (SHARE)
The ADP1043A supports both analog current sharing and
digital current sharing. It is recommended that analog current
sharing be used because it offers improved performance over
digital current sharing. Digital current sharing requires a load
line of >15 mΩ to prevent oscillation between units. The analog
current sharing scheme has no such issues.
Using Register 0x29, Bit 3, it is possible to program the
ADP1043A to use the CS1 current information or the CS2
current information for current sharing.
Analog Current Sharing
The ADP1043A supports analog current sharing. The current
reading from CS1 or CS2 can be output to the SHAREo pin in
the form of a digital bit stream, which is the output of the current
sense ADC (see Figure 23). The bit stream is proportional to the
current being delivered by this unit to the load. By filtering this
digital bit stream using an external RC filter, the current information is turned into an analog voltage. This means that there is
now an analog voltage that is proportional to the current being
delivered by this unit to the load. This voltage can be compared
to the share bus. If the unit is not supplying enough current, an
error signal can be applied to the VS3 feedback point. This signal
causes the unit to increase its output voltage and, therefore, its
current contribution to the load.
For more information about the analog current share functionality, including schematics and measurements in different fault
and setup conditions, see the product page for the ADP1043A.
Digital Share Bus
The digital share bus scheme is similar in principle to the traditional analog share bus scheme. The difference is that instead of
using a voltage on the share bus to represent current, a digital
word is used.
The ADP1043A outputs a digital word onto the share bus. The
digital word is a function of the current that the power supply is
providing (the higher the current, the larger the digital word).
CURRENT
The power supply with the highest current controls the bus
(master). A power supply that is putting out less current (slave)
sees that another supply is providing more power to the load
than it is. During the next cycle, the slave increases its current
output contribution by increasing its output voltage. This cycle
continues until the slave outputs the same current as the master,
within a programmable tolerance range. Figure 22 shows the
configuration of the digital share bus.

Figure 22. Digital Current Share Configuration
The digital share bus is based on a single-wire communication
bus principle; that is, the clock and data signals are contained
together.
When two or more ADP1043A devices are connected, they
synchronize their share bus timing. This synchronization is
performed by the start bit at the beginning of a communications
frame. If a new ADP1043A is hot-swapped onto an existing
digital share bus, it waits to begin sharing until the next frame.
The new ADP1043A monitors the share bus until it sees a stop
bit, which designates the end of a share frame. It then performs
synchronization with the other ADP1043A devices during the
next start bit. The digital share bus frame is shown in Figure 24.

The digital word that represents the current information is eight
bits long. The ADP1043A takes the eight MSBs of the CS1 or CS2
reading (whichever the user chooses as the current share signal)
and uses this reading as the digital word. When read, the share
bus value at any given time is equal to the CS1 or CS2 current
reading (see Figure 26).
Digital Share Bus Scheme
Each power supply compares the digital word that it is outputting
with the digital words of all the other supplies on the bus.
Round 1
In Round 1, every supply first places its MSB on the bus. If a
supply senses that its MSB is the same as the value on the bus, it
continues to Round 2. If a supply senses that its MSB is less than
the value on the bus, it means that this supply must be a slave.
When a supply becomes a slave, it stops communicating on the
share bus because it knows that it is not the master. The supply
then increases its output voltage in an attempt to share more
current.
If two units have the same MSB, they both continue to Round 2,
because either of them could be the master.
Round 2
In Round 2, all supplies that are still communicating on the bus
place their second MSB on the share bus. If a supply senses that
its MSB is less than the value on the bus, it means that this
supply must be a slave and it stops communicating.
Round 3 to Round 8
The same algorithm is repeated for up to eight rounds to allow
supplies to compare their digital words and, in this way, to
determine whether each unit is the master or a slave.
Digital Share Bus Configuration
The digital share bus can be configured in various ways.
The bandwidth of the share bus loop is programmable in
Register 0x29[2:0]. The extent to which a slave tries to match
the current of the master can be selected by programming
Register 0x2A[3:0]. The primary side or the secondary side
can be used as the current share signal by programming
Register 0x29[3].
A load line may be required between PSUs when using a digital
share bus. A minimum impedance of 15 m is recommended
between the remote voltage sense node and the load.

ADP1043A
POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND FAULT MONITORING
The ADP1043A has extensive system and fault monitoring
capabilities. The system monitoring functions include voltage,
current, power, and temperature readings. The fault conditions
include out-of-limit values for current, voltage, power, and temperature. The limits for the fault conditions are programmable.
The ADP1043A has an extensive set of flags that are set when
certain thresholds or limits are exceeded. These thresholds and
limits are described in the Fault Registers section.
FLAGS
The ADP1043A has an extensive set of flags that are set when
certain limits, conditions, and thresholds are exceeded. The
real-time status of these flags can be read in Register 0x00 to
Register 0x03. The response to these flags is individually
programmable. Flags can be ignored or used to trigger tasks
such as turning off certain PWM outputs or the OrFET GATE
output. Flags can also be used to turn off the power supply. The
ADP1043A can be programmed to respond when these flags are
reset. For more information, see Register 0x08 to Register 0x0D.
The ADP1043A also has a set of latched fault registers
(Register 0x04 to Register 0x07). The latched fault registers
have the same flags as Register 0x00 to Register 0x03, but the
flags in the latched registers remain set so that intermittent
faults can be detected. Reading a latched register resets all the
flags in that register.
MONITORING FUNCTIONS
The ADP1043A monitors and reports several signals, including
voltages, currents, power, and temperature. All these values are
2
stored in individual registers and can be read through the I
C
interface. See the Value Registers section for more details.
VOLTAGE READINGS
The VS1, VS2, and VS3 ADCs have an input range of 1.55 V.
The outputs of the ADCs are 12-bit values, which means that
the LSB size is 1.55 V/4096 = 378.4 V. The user is limited to an
input range of 1.5 V, which means that the ADC output code is
limited to 1.5 V/378.4 V = 3964.
The equation to calculate the ADC code at a certain voltage
(Vx) is given by the following formula:
ADC Code = Vx/378.4 V
For example, when there is 1 V on the input of the ADC
ADC Code = 1 V/378.4 V
ADC Code = 2643
In a 12 V application, the 12 V reading is divided down using
a resistor divider network to provide 1 V at the sense pin.
Therefore, to convert the register value to a real voltage, use
the following formula:
V
= (VSx_Voltage_Value/2643) × ((R1 + R2)/R2)
OUT
Rev. 0 | Page 22 of 72
In a 12 V system, this equates to
V
= (VSx_Voltage_Value/2643) × 12 V
OUT
CURRENT READINGS
CS1 Pin
DC Input Voltage
The CS1 ADC is identical in design to the VS1, VS2, and VS3
ADCs. Therefore, the description in the Vo lt a ge Re ad i ng s section
also applies to the CS1 ADC. When there is exactly 1 V on the
CS1 pin, the value in the CS1 value register (Register 0x13)
reads 2968.
CS1 has an input range of 1.38 V. The ADC performs a 12-bit
reading conversion on this value, which means that the LSB size
is 1.38 V/4096 = 337 V.
The equation to calculate the ADC code at a certain CS1 input
voltage (Vx) is given by the following formula:
ADC Code = Vx/337 V
For example, when there is 1 V on the CS1 input pin
ADC Code = 1 V/337 V
ADC Code = 2968
AC Input Voltage
CS1 often receives a rectified ac signal through a current
transformer. In this case, the ADC has a frequency response
(see Figure 27).

The user sets the full-scale (FS) voltage drop—37.5 mV,
75 mV, or 150 mV—that is present across the R

by programming Register 0x23, Bits[7:6].
The CS2 ADC has an input range of 250 mV. The resolution is
12 bits, which means that the LSB size is 250 mV/4096 = 61.04 V.
The user is limited to an input range of 215 mV.

POWER READINGS
The output power value register (Register 0x19) is the product
of the VS3 voltage value and the CS2 current value. Therefore,
a combination of the formulas in the Vol ta ge Re ad in gs section
and the CS2 Pin section is used to calculate the power reading
in watts. This register is a 16-bit word. It multiplies two 12-bit
numbers and discards the eight LSBs.

POWER MONITORING ACCURACY
The ADP1043A power monitoring accuracy is specified relative
to the full-scale range of the signal that it is measuring.
FIRST FLAG FAULT ID AND VALUE REGISTERS
When the ADP1043A registers several fault conditions, it stores
the value of the first fault in a dedicated register. For example, if
the overtemperature (OTP) fault is registered, followed by an
OVP fault, the OTP flag is stored in the first flag ID register
(Register 0x10). This register gives the user more information
for fault diagnosis than a simple flag. The contents of this register
are latched, meaning that they are stored until read by the user.
The contents are also reset by a PSON signal.
If a flag is set to be ignored, it does not appear in the first flag
register.
EXTERNAL FLAG INPUT (FLAGIN PIN)
The FLAGIN pin can be used to send an external fault
signal into the ADP1043A. The reaction to this flag can
be programmed in the same way as the internal flags.
TEMPERATURE READINGS (RTD PIN)
The RTD pin is set up for use with an external 100 kΩ negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. The RTD pin has an
internal 10.8 A current source. Therefore, with a 100 kΩ thermistor, the voltage on the RTD pin is 1 V at 25°C. An ADC on the
ADP1043A monitors the voltage on the RTD pin.

The output of the RTD ADC is linearly proportional to the
voltage on the RTD pin. However, thermistors exhibit a nonlinear function of resistance vs. temperature. Therefore, it is
necessary to perform some postprocessing on the RTD ADC
reading to accurately read the temperature. This postprocessing
can be in the form of a lookup table or polynomial equation to
match the specific NTC being used.
OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION (OTP)
If the temperature sensed at the RTD pin exceeds the programmable threshold, the OTP flag is set. The hysteresis on this flag
is 16 mV (see Register 0x2F in Table 4 3 for details). The response
to the OTP flag is programmable.
The RTD trim is required to make accurate temperature readings
at the lower end of the RTD ADC range. This results in a more
accurate measurement for determining the OTP threshold (see
the RTD/OTP Trim section).

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (OCP)
The ADP1043A has several OCP functions. CS1 and CS2 have
individual OCP circuits to provide both primary and secondary
side protection.
CS1 has two protection circuits: CS1 fast OCP and CS1 accurate
OCP (see Figure 29). CS1 fast OCP is an analog comparator.
When the voltage at the CS1 pin exceeds the (fixed) 1.2 V threshold, the CS1 fast OCP flag is set. A blanking time can be set to
ignore the current spike at the beginning of the current signal. A
debounce time can be programmed to improve the noise immunity
of the OCP circuit. When the CS1 fast OCP comparator is set,
all PWM outputs are immediately disabled for the remainder of
the switching cycle. They are reenabled at the start of the next
switching cycle. This function can be bypassed if not needed.
IN
OUTA
OUTC
CS1 accurate OCP is used for more precise control of overcurrent protection. With CS1 accurate OCP, the reading at
the output of the CS1 ADC (Register 0x13) is compared to a
programmable OCP value. The CS1 accurate OCP value can
be programmed from 0 to 31 decimal using Register 0x22,
Bits[4:0]. If the CS1 reading exceeds the CS1 accurate OCP
value, the CS1 accurate OCP flag is set. The speed of this
decision is 10 ms. The response to the flag is programmable.
CS2 has one OCP protection circuit: CS2 accurate OCP. The reading at the output of the CS2 ADC (Register 0x18) is compared
to a programmable OCP threshold. The CS2 OCP threshold
can be programmed from 0 to 254 decimal using Register 0x26,
Bits[7:0]. If the CS2 reading exceeds the CS2 OCP threshold,
the CS2 accurate OCP flag is set. The speed of this decision is
10 ms. The response to the flag is programmable.

ADP1043A
V
CONSTANT CURRENT MODE
The ADP1043A can be configured to operate in constant
current mode. The threshold to enter constant current mode
operation is 10% current below the CS2 accurate OCP setting.
Below this current, the part operates normally, using the output
voltage as the feedback signal for closed-loop operation.
When the ADP1043A reaches the constant current mode
threshold, a flag is set. The CS2 current reading is used instead
of the output voltage as the feedback signal for closed-loop
operation. The output voltage is ramped down linearly to 60%
of its nominal value as the load resistance decreases to ensure
that the current remains constant.
When the control loop reaches 60% of V
the output voltage to close the loop, but at the reduced level
(60% of nominal). If the load resistance continues to decrease,
the current may rise again in this region, up to the CS2 OCP
level, but the voltage is kept limited to 60% of nominal (see
Figure 30). The UVP or CS2 OCP flags can be used to program
a shutdown action.

, the part again uses
OUT
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
The ADP1043A has two OVP circuits. If the output voltage at
the VS1, VS2, or VS3 pin exceeds the programmable threshold
for that pin, that OVP flag is set; the response to that flag can be
programmed. VS1 has one OVP circuit. VS2 and VS3 share the
other OVP circuit. The OVP circuits can be programmed for
different OVP thresholds. See Register 0x32 and Register 0x33
for more information. The formula to set the OVP threshold
voltage is given by
VSx OVP = [(89 + VS1_OVP_Setting)/128] × 1.55 V
For example, when the VS1 OVP setting = 10, then
VS1 OVP = [(89 + 10)/128] × 1.55 V = 1.2 V
UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (UVP)
If the voltage being sensed at the VS1 pin goes below the programmable UVP threshold, the UVP flag is set. Exceptions
to this rule (called undervoltage blanking) include during
startup and when ACSNS is not within limits. The response
to the UVP condition is programmable (see Register 0x34 in
Tabl e 48 for more information).

ADP1043A
AC SENSE (ACSNS)
The ACSNS circuit performs multiple monitoring functions.
It determines indirectly whether the primary side input voltage
is present, as well as monitoring whether a switching waveform
is present at the output of the synchronous rectifier stage (or
rectifier diodes). The output of the synchronous rectifier stage
(or rectifier diodes) is connected to this pin through an external
resistor divider network.
The ACSNS circuit within the ADP1043A has a comparator
that checks for a signal of 0.45 V or greater every switching
cycle. For example, if the switching frequency is set to 200 kHz,
the switching cycle is 5 s. The comparator timeout is therefore
set to 5 s to match the switching cycle. If the comparator does
not trip during the 5 s interval, the ACSNS flag is set.
VOLT-SECOND BALANCE
The ADP1043A has a dedicated circuit to maintain volt-second
balance in the main transformer when operating in full-bridge
topology. This means that a dc blocking capacitor is not necessary.
The circuit monitors the dc current flowing in both halves of
the full bridge and stores this information. It compensates the
PWM drive signals to ensure equal current flow in both halves
of the full bridge. The input is through the CS1 pin. Several switching cycles are required for the circuit to operate effectively. The
volt-second balance places up to 80 ns of modulation on the
OUTB and OUTD pins.
Note that the compensation of the PWM drive signals is performed on t
necessary to use these pins as the modulating PWM signals
for the feature to operate correctly.

Also note that the ADP1043A assumes that the CS1 current
pulse signal that it sees first in each cycle is related to OUTB,
and that the second current pulse signal in each cycle is related
to OUTD. If the first current pulse signal is smaller than the
second, OUTB is increased and OUTD is decreased. If the first
current pulse signal is greater than the second, OUTB is
decreased and OUTD is increased.
LOAD LINE
The ADP1043A can optionally introduce a digital load line into
the power supply. This option is programmed in the load line
impedance register (Register 0x36). This feature can be used for
advanced current sharing techniques. By default, the load line is
disabled. The load line is introduced digitally, and its slope can
be programmed. It works by taking the CS2 current reading and
adjusting the output voltage accordingly. A load line of up to
51.5 mΩ can be chosen. Figure 31 shows the load line results
using the ADP1043A evaluation board. The evaluation board
uses a 10 mΩ R
The ADP1043A allows the entire power supply to be calibrated
and trimmed digitally in the production environment. It can
calibrate items such as output voltage and trim for tolerance
errors introduced by sense resistors and resistor dividers, as well
as its own internal circuitry. The part comes factory trimmed,
but it can be retrimmed by the user to compensate for the errors
introduced by external components.
The ADP1043A allows the user enough trim capability to trim
for external components with a tolerance of 0.5% or better. If
the ADP1043A is not trimmed in the production environment,
it is recommended that components with a 0.1% tolerance be
used for the inputs to CS1, CS2, VS1, VS2, VS3+, and VS3− to
meet data sheet specifications.
CS1 TRIM
Using a DC Signal
A known voltage (Vx) is applied at the CS1 pin. The CS1 ADC
should output a digital code equal to Vx/337 V. The CS1 gain
trim register (Register 0x21) is adjusted until the CS1 ADC
value in Register 0x13 reads the correct digital code.
Using an AC Signal
A known current (Ix) is applied to the PSU input. This current
passes through a current transformer, a diode rectifier, and an
external resistor (R
) to convert the current information to a
CS1
voltage (Vx). This voltage is fed into the CS1 pin. The voltage
(Vx) is calculated as follows:
Vx = Ix × (n2/n1) × R
n2/n1 is the turns ratio of the current transformer.

CS1
The CS1 ADC should output a digital code equal to Vx/337 V.
The CS1 gain trim register (Register 0x21) is adjusted until the
CS1 ADC value in Register 0x13 reads the correct digital code.
As described in the CS1 Pin section, the CS1 ADC has a
frequency response. To achieve more accurate trimming,
the following multiplication factor (M) should be used:

CS2 TRIM
The CS2 trim must compensate for offset and gain errors. The
offset error requires both an analog trim and a digital trim. The
CS2 ADC range does not begin at 0 V but instead begins at
−25 mV to allow it to perform reverse current protection for the
OrFET circuit. Therefore, with −25 mV at the CS2 input, the ADC
code should read 0. With 0 mV at the CS2 input, the ADC code
should read 100 decimal. For this reason, the analog offset trim
is performed until the CS2 reading equals 100 decimal (not 0).
For this reason, also, the digital trim is required.
CS2 Offset Trim
It is important to perform the CS2 offset trim as described in
the following steps.

resistors and the internal current sources. Apply no-load
current across the sense resistor. Adjust the CS2 offset trim
value (Register 0x24, Bits[6:0]) until the CS2 value in
Register 0x18 reads as close to 100 decimal as possible.
Adjust the CS2 digital trim register (Register 0x25) until
4.
the CS2 value in Register 0x18 reads 0.
The offset trim is now completed, and the ADC code reads 0 if
there is no-load current across the sense resistor.
CS2 Gain Trim
After performing the offset trim, perform the gain trim to
remove any mismatch that is introduced by the sense resistor
tolerance. The ADP1043A can trim for sense resistors with a
tolerance of 1% or better.
Apply a known current (I

CS2 Value = 1520 decimal
The CS2 circuit is now trimmed. After the current sense trim is
performed, the OCP limits and settings should be configured.
VOLTAGE CALIBRATION AND TRIM
The voltage sense inputs are optimized for sensing signals at
1 V and cannot sense a signal greater than 1.5 V. In a 12 V
system, a 12:1 resistor divider is required to reduce the 12 V
signal to below 1.5 V. It is recommended that the output voltage
of the power supply be reduced to 1 V for best performance.
The resistor divider can introduce errors, which need to be
trimmed. The ADP1043A has enough trim range to trim out
errors introduced by resistors with 0.5% tolerance or better.
The ADCs output a digital word of 2643 decimal (0xA53)
when there is exactly 1 V at their inputs.

ADP1043A
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING (VS3+, VS3− TRIM)
The VS3 input requires a gain trim. Enable the power supply with
no-load current. The power supply output voltage is divided down
by the VS3 resistor divider to give 1 V at the VS3+ and VS3−
input pins. The VS3 trim register (Register 0x3A) is altered until
the VS3 value in Register 0x17 reads 2643 decimal (0xA53).
This step should be done before any other trim routines.
VS1 TRIM
The VS1 input requires a gain trim. Enable the power supply with
no-load current. The VS1 voltage is divided down by the VS1
resistor divider to give 1 V at the VS1 pin. The VS1 trim register
(Register 0x38) is altered until the VS1 value in Register 0x15
reads 2643 decimal (0xA53).
VS2 TRIM
The VS2 input requires a gain trim. Enable the power supply with
no-load current. The VS2 voltage is divided down by the VS2
resistor divider to give 1 V at the VS2 pin. The VS2 trim register
(Register 0x39) is altered until the VS2 value in Register 0x16
reads 2643 decimal (0xA53).
RTD/OTP TRIM
A 100 kΩ NTC thermistor should be used with the ADP1043A.
In a PSU trim, the following procedure should be used:
1.
Heat the thermistor or PSU to a known temperature that
will result in an OTP threshold.
Adjust the temperature gain trim register (Register 0x2B)
2.
to give the correct temperature reading (Register 0x1A) at
this temperature.
Adjust the OTP threshold register (Register 0x2F) until the
3.
OTP flag is set.
This procedure achieves the most accurate OTP, because it takes
into account the part-to-part variations of the ADP1043A and
the thermistor being used.
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
This section explains best practices that should be followed to
ensure optimal performance of the ADP1043A. In general, all
components should be placed as close to the ADP1043A as
possible.
Several inputs to the ADP1043A are sensitive. Therefore, take
extra care when handling and soldering the part. Along with
correct cleaning of the IC after soldering, a short curing process
(1 hour at 150°C) is recommended. Analog Devices also recommends encapsulating the IC in protective resin after this curing
to ensure that any impurities cannot contaminate the IC.
CS2 + and CS2−
The routing of the traces from the sense resistor to the ADP1043A
should be laid out in parallel to each other. The traces should
also be kept close together and as far from the switch nodes as
possible.
VS3+ and VS3−
The routing of the traces from the remote voltage sense point
to the ADP1043A should be laid out in parallel to each other.
The traces should also be kept close together and as far from
the switch nodes as possible.
VDD
Place decoupling capacitors as close to the part as possible.
A 100 nF capacitor from VDD to AGND is recommended.
SDA and SCL
The routing of the traces should be laid out in parallel to each
other. The traces should also be kept close together and as far
from the switch nodes as possible.
CS1
Run the traces from the current sense transformer to the
ADP1043A in parallel to each other. The traces should also be
kept close together and as far from the switch nodes as possible.
Exposed Pad
The exposed pad underneath the ADP1043A should be
soldered to the PCB ground plane.
VCORE
Place the 100 nF capacitor as close to the part as possible.
RES
Place the 49.9 k resistor as close to the part as possible.
RTD
Route a single trace to the ADP1043A from the thermistor.
Place the thermistor close to the hottest part of the power supply.

Create an AGND ground plane and make a single point (star)
connection to the power supply system ground.

line and, if it stays low for time 0.65 ms < t_low < 1.3 ms, the
2
C interface is reset and waits for another start condition.
I

The I
C specification defines specific conditions for different
types of read and write operations. General I
operations are shown in the timing diagrams of Figure 32,
Figure 33, and Figure 34, and are described in this section.

This indicates that a data stream follows. All slave peripherals connected to the serial bus respond to the start
condition and shift in the next eight bits, consisting of a
W
7-bit slave address (MSB first) plus a R/
bit, which
determines the direction of the data transfer, that is,
whether data is written to or read from the slave device
(0 = write, 1 = read).
2.
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the
transmitted address responds by pulling the data line low
during the low period before the ninth clock pulse, known
as the acknowledge bit, and holding it low during the high
period of this clock pulse. All other devices on the bus
remain idle while the selected device waits for data to be
W
read from or written to it. If the R/
writes to the slave device. If the R/
bit is a 0, the master
W
bit is a 1, the master
reads from the slave device.
3.
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses: eight bits of data followed by an acknowledge bit
from the slave device. Data transitions on the data line
must occur during the low period of the clock signal and
remain stable during the high period, because a low-tohigh transition when the clock is high may be interpreted
as a stop signal.
If the operation is a write operation, the first data byte after

the slave address is a command byte that tells the slave
device what to expect next. It may be an instruction, such
as telling the slave device to expect a block write, or it may
be a register address that tells the slave where subsequent
data is to be written.
Because data can flow in only one direction, as defined by
5.
W
the R/
bit, it is not possible to send a command to a slave
device during a read operation. Before a read operation, it
may be necessary to first perform a write operation to tell
the slave what sort of read operation to expect and/or the
address from which data is to be read.
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop

conditions are established. In write mode, the master pulls
th
the data line high during the 10
clock pulse to assert a
stop condition. In read mode, the master device releases
the SDA line during the low period before the ninth clock
pulse, but the slave device does not pull it low. This is
known as a no acknowledge bit. The master takes the data
th
line low during the low period before the 10
and then high during the 10
th
clock pulse to assert a stop
clock pulse,
condition.
If several read or write operations must be performed in succession, the master can send a repeat start condition instead of a
stop condition to begin a new operation.

EEPROM
The EEPROM is partitioned into two major blocks: the factory
block and the main block. The factory block contains 128 8-bit
bytes, and the main block contains 8k 8-bit bytes.
Factory Block
The factory block is organized into 128 bytes. It is used to store
the original Analog Devices factory calibration and register
settings. The user cannot change these settings. The contents
of the factory block can be downloaded to the registers at any
time by writing 0x01 to Register 0x7B.
Main Block
The main block is available to store data. It is partitioned into
16 pages; each page contains 512 bytes. The data on each page
is sorted into bytes organized in the form of eight rows and 64
columns (see Figure 35).

Main Block, Page 0 (User Settings)
The ADP1043A user register settings are stored in Page 0 of the
main block. Every time that VDD is applied to the ADP1043A,
the register settings are automatically downloaded from Page 0
of the EEPROM to the registers. The ADP1043A has a unique
command to write new values to Page 0. This is done by writing
0x00 to Register 0x7B. Clicking the
Update EEPROM button in
the Analog Devices software GUI also performs this task.
MAIN Block, Page 1 to Page 15 (Scratchpad)
Page 1 to Page 15 of the main block can be used as a scratchpad
to store other data. Register 0x7C and Register 0x7D are used to
point to the page, row, and column of the byte to be accessed.

EEPROM Password Lock
The EEPROM password prevents the EEPROM contents from
being changed accidentally or purposely by an unwanted source.
The password ensures that critical specifications such as OVP
and OCP cannot be changed.
The EEPROM is always locked. When the EEPROM downloads
its contents to the registers, the password is also downloaded. If
the user writes the same password to Register 0x5E twice, the
EEPROM is unlocked and can be updated.
While the EEPROM is unlocked, it is possible to change the
password by writing a new value to Register 0x5E. After this
value is updated, the EEPROM contains the new password. The
factory default password is 0x00.
To update the EEPROM password, the user must write to
Register 0x7B. Writing 0x00 to this register updates the
EEPROM. The user must wait at least 50 ms after this write
command before attempting any further communication
with the ADP1043A.
Note that the EEPROM should not be written to for the first
500 ms after VDD has been applied.
EEPROM Password Change
To change the EEPROM password, follow these steps:
1.
Write the old password to Register 0x5E (password lock
register).
Write the new password to Register 0x5E (password lock
2.
register) for the first time.
Write the new password to Register 0x5E (password lock
3.
register) for the second time.
Write the new password to Register 0x5E (password lock
4.
register) for the third time.
Write 0x00 to Register 0x7B.
5.
Wait 50 ms.
6.
To lock the EEPROM, write any value other than the
7.
password value into Register 0x5E.
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
The ADP1043A performs a check to ensure that the EEPROM
contents are correctly downloaded to registers at startup. It
compares the total number of 1s downloaded with the total
number of 1s that were last written to the EEPROM. If there is
a discrepancy, the CRC fault flag is set in Register 0x03, Bit 1.
This flag is used to ensure that the correct data is downloaded
from the EEPROM to the registers at startup.
SOFTWARE GUI
A free software GUI is available for programming and configuring the ADP1043A. The GUI is designed to be intuitive to
power supply designers and dramatically reduces power supply
design and development time. The software includes filter
design and power supply PWM topology windows. The GUI is
also an information center, displaying the status of all readings,
monitoring, and flags on the ADP1043A.
For more information about the GUI, contact Analog Devices
for the latest software and a user guide. Evaluation boards are
also available by contacting Analog Devices.
To download the latest GUI, click on the
top of the GUI Main screen. Click on the link to check for GUI

DETAILED REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
FAULT REGISTERS
Register 0x04 to Register 0x07 are latched fault registers. In these registers, flags are not reset when the fault disappears. Flags are cleared
only by a register read (provided that the fault no longer persists). Note that latched bits are clocked on a low-to-high transition only. Also
note that these register bits are cleared when read via the I
fault register be read again after the faults disappear to ensure that the register is reset.

Table 17. Register 0x12—VS1/PWM Value (Input Voltage)
Bits Name R/W Description
[15:0] Input voltage value R
This register contains the 16-bit input voltage information. Because the input voltage is normally on the
other side of the isolation barrier from the ADP1043A, the part does not directly sense the input
voltage. The input voltage is defined as the VS1 voltage divided by the PWM modulation. To read
the input voltage information, this register must be read using two consecutive read operations.
The eight bits of the first read return the eight MSBs of the input voltage information. The eight bits
of the second read return the eight LSBs of the input voltage information. To translate this reading
into the real input voltage, use the following equation:
where R1 and R2 are the external resistor divider values between the power supply output and the
VS1 pin. This reading does not take into account an external turns ratio on the main transformer.

Bits Name R/W Description
[15:4] Input current value R
This register contains the 12-bit input current information. This value is derived from a voltage
measurement at the CS1 input. To read the input current information, this register must be read
using two consecutive read operations. The eight bits of the first read return the eight MSBs of the
input current information. The top four bits of the second read return the four LSBs of the input
current information. The range of the CS1 input pin is from 0 V to 1.38 V. This value has 12 bits of
resolution, which results in an LSB size of 337 V. At 0 V input, the value in this register is 0 (0x000).
At 1.3 V input, the value in this register is 3856 (0xF10). The nominal voltage at this pin is 1 V.
At 1 V input, the value in this register is 2968 (0xB98).

These bits set the CS1 accurate OCP threshold. The digital word that is output from the CS1
ADC is compared with this threshold. If the CS1 ADC reading (Register 0x13) is greater than
the OCP threshold set by these bits, the CS1 accurate OCP flag is set. This value should be
programmed only after the CS1 trim has been performed. The range of these bits is from
0 to 31, that is, 0 V to 1.38 V in 43.125 mV steps.
The following equation gives the threshold of the CS1 OCP:
CS1_OCP_Threshold = (CS1_OCP_Limit/31) × 1.38
The range is programmable from 0% to 138% of the nominal voltage on the CS1 pin.
For example, if the CS1 OCP limit is 12 V, then
CS1_OCP_Threshold = (12/31) × 1.38 V = 534 mV
Setting these bits to 0 gives an OCP limit of 0% of the nominal voltage on the CS1 pin.
Setting these bits to 10 gives an OCP limit of 44.5% of the nominal voltage on the CS1 pin.
Setting these bits to 31 gives an OCP limit of 138% of the nominal voltage on the CS1 pin.

The OTP threshold value is compared to the RTD ADC reading (Register 0x1A). If the RTD ADC
reading is lower than the threshold set in this register, the OTP flag is set. (The flag is set below the
threshold because using an NTC thermistor causes the reading to decrease as the temperature
increases.) Each LSB typically corresponds to an increased OTP threshold of 3.04 mV. The RTD ADC
range is 0 V to 1.55 V; the OTP threshold is 9.12 mV to 760 mV. There is a hysteresis of 16 mV on the

This register is used to set the output voltage (voltage differential at the VS3+ and VS3− pins).
Programmable from 0% to 155% of nominal voltage. Each LSB corresponds to a 0.6% increase.
Setting this register to a value of 0xA5 gives an output voltage setting of 100% of the nominal
voltage. This is the default value and is stored in this register when shipped from the factory.
Updating the VS3 voltage setting is a two-stage process. First, the user must change the value in
this register; this information is stored in a shadow register. To latch the new VS3 voltage setting
into the state machine, the user must set the GO bit (Register 0x5D[0]).
Local overvoltage limit. This limit is programmable from 107.7% to 145.3% of the nominal VS1
voltage; 0x00 corresponds to 107.7%. Each LSB results in an increase of 1.21%. The VS1 OVP
threshold is calculated as follows:
VS1_OVP_Threshold = [(89 + VS1_OVP_Setting)/128] × 1.55 V
For example, if the VS1 OVP setting is 10, then
VS1_OVP_Threshold = [(89 + 10)/128] × 1.55 V = 1.2 V
Setting these bits to 0 gives an OVP limit of 107.7% of the nominal VS1 voltage.

The OVP flag is set if the average voltage during the OVP sampling period is greater than the OVP
threshold. This OVP flag sampling period is 80 s. The number of samples can be increased using
these bits. If the number of samples is increased, the average voltage must be greater than the
OVP threshold for each of those cycles. For example, if this value is set to two cycles, the average

Load overvoltage limit. This limit is programmable from 107.7% to 145.3% of the nominal VS2 or
VS3 voltage; 0x00 corresponds to 107.7%. Each LSB results in an increase of 1.21%. The VS2/VS3
OVP threshold is calculated as follows:
VSx_OVP_Threshold = [(89 + VSx_OVP_Setting)/128] × 1.55 V
For example, if the VS3 OVP setting is 10, then
VS3_OVP_Threshold = [(89 + 10)/128] × 1.55 V = 1.2 V
Setting these bits to 0 gives an OVP limit of 107.7% of the nominal VS2/VS3 voltage.
Setting these bits to 10 gives an OVP limit of 120% of the nominal VS2/VS3 voltage.
Setting these bits to 20 gives an OVP limit of 132% of the nominal VS2/VS3 voltage.
Setting these bits to 31 gives an OVP limit of 145.3% of the nominal VS2/VS3 voltage.
When this bit is set, the ADP1043A regulates from the VS3 node at all times. When this bit is not set,
the ADP1043A uses the VS1 voltage as the regulating point during soft start and when the OrFET is
disabled.
The OVP flag is set if the average voltage during the OVP sampling period is greater than the OVP
threshold. This OVP flag sampling period is 80 s. The number of samples can be increased using
these bits. If the number of samples is increased, the average voltage must be greater than the OVP
threshold for each of those cycles. For example, if this value is set to two cycles, the average
voltage must be greater than the OVP threshold for both cycles.

This bit is valid only when the OUTAUX pin is used for regulation. When any flag shuts down the
power supply, the OUTAUX PWM is immediately shut down. This bit specifies when the other PWM
outputs are shut down.
1: All other PWM outputs are shut down at the end of the switching cycle.
0: All other PWM outputs are immediately shut down.
These bits set the UVP limit to one of 128 settings. The UVP limit can be programmed from 0% to
155% of the nominal VS1 voltage. Each LSB increases the voltage by 155%/128 = 1.21%. In reality,
there are 82 usable settings, which program the UVP threshold from 0% to 100% of the nominal
VS1 voltage. The VS1 UVP threshold is calculated as follows:
VS1_UVP_Threshold = [(VS1_UVP_Setting)/128] × 1.55 V
For example, if the VS1 UVP setting is 60, then
VS1_UVP_Threshold = [60/128] × 1.55 V = 726 mV
Setting these bits to 0 gives a UVP limit of 0% of the nominal VS1 voltage.
Setting these bits to 66 (0x42) gives a UVP limit of 80% of the nominal VS1 voltage.
Setting these bits to 82 (0x52) gives a UVP limit of 100% of the nominal VS1 voltage.
Setting these bits to 127 (0x7F) gives a UVP limit of 155% of the nominal VS1 voltage.

RESONANT MODE OPERATION
The ADP1043A supports control of a resonant converter.
Resonant converters are an alternative to traditional fixed

SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION IN RESONANT
MODE
Control of the synchronous rectifiers in a resonant controller is
a complicated issue. The ADP1043A ACSNS comparator can be
used to control the SR signals. In resonant mode operation, the
SR1 output is driven by the rising edge of the ACSNS comparator,
and the SR2 output is driven by the falling edge of the comparator,
as shown in Figure 40.

ACSNS
SYNC RECT 1 (SR1)

Figure 40. SR1 and SR2 PWM Timing Diagram in Resonant Mode
Following is an example of how the ADP1043A can be used
in a series resonant topology and also achieve control of the
synchronous rectifiers. The V
control the SR signals. The ACSNS pin is connected to the
divided-down SR2 V
information for both synchronous rectifiers (see Figure 41).

Figure 41. Resonant Synchronous Rectifier Control Circuit
After the timing information is obtained, SR1 is driven by the
rising edge of the ACSNS comparator, and SR2 is driven by the
falling edge of the comparator, as shown in Figure 40. In this
way, it is possible to achieve synchronous rectification. Turn-on
and turn-off delays can be programmed for the SR1 and SR2
signals individually.
This example is not the only way to control the SR signals. If the
user has another method to control the SR signals, this method
can be used to connect to the ACSNS input instead of the V
voltage of SR2.

ADP1043A
ADJUSTING THE TIMING OF THE PWM OUTPUTS
To accurately adjust the timing of the PWM outputs, the following registers can be used to set the dead time and delays of the
PWM outputs: Register 0x41, Register 0x43, Register 0x45,
Register 0x47, Register 0x49, Register 0x4B, Register 0x4D,
Register 0x4F, Register 0x51, Register 0x53, Register 0x55, and
Register 0x57. The resolution for adjusting the dead time is 5 ns.
Refer to the Resonant Mode Register Descriptions section for
more detailed information. The software GUI for the ADP1043A
can be used to set the frequency limit registers, as well as all
other settings related to the resonant mode of operation.
FREQUENCY LIMIT SETTING
The minimum frequency is set by Register 0x42 and by the first
four bits of Register 0x44.
For example, Register 0x42 is set to 0xA0 (160 decimal) and
Bits[7:4] of Register 0x44 are set to 0xF (15 decimal).
The maximum switching cycle is
(160 × 16 + 15) × 5 ns = 12.875 s
The lowest switching frequency limit is
1/12.875 s = 77.7 kHz
The maximum frequency is set by Register 0x46 and by
Bits[7:4] of Register 0x48.
For example, Register 0x46 is set to 0x10 (16 decimal) and
Bits[7:4] of Register 0x48 are set to 0x9 (9 decimal).
The minimum switching cycle is
(16 × 16 + 9) × 5 ns = 1.325 s
The highest switching frequency limit is
1/1.325 s = 755 kHz
FEEDBACK CONTROL IN RESONANT MODE
In contrast to a traditional fixed frequency PWM converter, the
output voltage of a resonant converter is regulated by changing
the switching frequency. When the ADP1043A is operated in
resonant mode, the switching frequency decreases when the
sensed voltage is lower than the reference voltage. This makes
the ADP1043A capable of controlling a resonant converter in
zero-voltage switching (ZVS) mode.
Although the switching frequency is variable, the feedback
voltage sampling frequency is fixed at 400 kHz. The parameters
of the feedback filter are based on this frequency. The method
for calculating the filter parameters (gains, zeros, and poles) is
the same as that for the fixed frequency PWM mode (see the
Digital Filter section).
SOFT START IN RESONANT MODE
During soft start, the reference voltage of the ADP1043A ramps
up. With the feedback loop closed, the switching frequency is
reduced from the highest limit to a regulation value. The soft
start timing settings and the filter settings are the same as those
for the fixed frequency PWM mode (see the Soft Start section).
LIGHT LOAD OPERATION (BURST MODE)
To control the converter at very light load, the ADP1043A can
operate in burst mode. Burst mode can be enabled or disabled
using Bits[7:6] of Register 0x4A. When the desired switching
frequency is higher than the burst mode threshold, the part
enters burst mode. The threshold is determined by the
maximum frequency and the burst mode offset setting.
The threshold value used to enter burst mode is determined as
follows:
The threshold value used to exit burst mode is determined by
the entrance value plus 0x10.
For example, Register 0x46 is set to 0x10 (16 decimal), Bits[7:4]
of Register 0x48 are set to 0, and Bits[5:0] of Register 0x4A are
set to 0x8 (8 decimal).
The minimum switching cycle is
(16 × 16 + 0) × 5 ns = 1.28 s
The highest switching frequency limit is
1/1.28 s = 781 kHz
The threshold to enter burst mode is
[(16 × 16 + 0) + (8 × 2)] × 5 ns = 1.36 s
When the desired switching frequency is higher than
1/1.36 s = 735 kHz, the PWM outputs are shut down
and the part enters burst mode.
The threshold to exit burst mode is
[(16 × 16 + 0) + (8 × 2) + 16] × 5 ns = 1.44 s
Therefore, when the desired switching frequency becomes
lower than 1/1.44 s = 694 kHz, the PWM signals are reenabled,
and the part exits burst mode.
OUTAUX IN RESONANT MODE
In resonant mode, the OUTAUX pin cannot be used as a control
signal. However, OUTAUX can be used as a fixed frequency
PWM signal with a fixed duty cycle.
PROTECTIONS IN RESONANT MODE
All of the flags and protections that are available in resonant mode
behave in the same manner as in fixed frequency PWM mode.
