GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1046 is a flexible, digital secondary side controller
designed for ac-to-dc and isolated dc-to-dc secondary side
applications. The ADP1046 is pin-compatible with the
ADP1043A and offers several enhancements and new features,
including voltage feedforward, improved loop response, and
programmable dead time control to maximize efficiency.
The ADP1046 is optimized for minimal component count,
maximum flexibility, and minimum design time. Features
include local and remote voltage sense, primary and secondary
side current sense, digital pulse-width modulation (PWM)
generation, current sharing, and redundant OrFET control. The
control loop digital filter and compensation terms are integrated
and can be programmed over the I
protection features include overcurrent protection (OCP), overvoltage protection (OVP), undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and
overtemperature protection (OTP).
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 programmable protection circuits.
A comprehensive GUI is provided for easy design of loop
filter characteristics and programming of the safety features.
The industry-standard I
monitoring and system test functions.
The ADP1046 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP and operates
from a single 3.3 V supply.

The ADP1046 is a secondary side controller for switch mode
power supplies (SMPS). It is designed for use in isolated redundant applications. The ADP1046 integrates the typical functions
that are needed to control a power supply, such as
• Output voltage sense and feedback
• Voltage line feedforward control
• 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 ADP1046 combines a high speed, low resolution (fast and
coarse) ADC with a low speed, high resolution (slow and accurate)
ADC. Loop compensation is implemented using the digital filter.
This proportional, integral, derivative (PID) filter is implemented
in the digital domain to allow easy programming of filter characteristics, which is of great value in customizing and debugging
designs.
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
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 is provided for paralleling multiple
power supplies. The ADP1046 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 (voltage continuity),
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 that is useful for power monitoring, 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 and provides all the necessary
software to program the ADP1046. To obtain the latest software
and a user guide, visit http://www.analog.com/digitalpower.
The ADP1046 operates from a single 3.3 V supply and is specified
from −40°C to +125°C.

THEORY OF OPERATION
CURRENT SENSE
The ADP1046 has two current sense inputs: CS1 and CS2±.
These inputs sense, protect, and control the primary input
current, secondary output current, and the share bus
information. They can be calibrated to reduce errors due to
external components.
CS1 Operation (CS1)
CS1 is typically used for the monitoring and protection of
the primary side current, which is commonly sensed using a
current transformer (CT). The input signal at the CS1 pin is fed
into an ADC for current monitoring. The range of the ADC is
0 V to 1.4 V. The input signal is also fed into a comparator for
pulse-by-pulse OCP protection. The typical configuration for
the CS1 current sense is shown in Figure 13.
When using low-side current sensing, the current sources are
200 µA; therefore, the required resistor value is 1 V/200 µA = 5 kΩ.
When using high-side current sensing, the current sources are
2 mA; therefore, the resistor value required is (V
In the case of V
= 12 V, the required resistor value is 5.5 kΩ.
OUT
− 1 V)/2 mA.
OUT
Typical configurations are shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15.
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, the CS2+ and CS2− inputs should both be
connected directly to PGND, and CS2± should be set to highside current sense mode (Register 0x27[2] = 1).
The CS2 ADC is used to measure the CS2 current; the reading
is averaged every 2.62 ms in an asynchronous fashion. This
averaged reading is used to make fault decisions, such as the
CS2 OCP fault. The ADP1046 also writes the 12-bit CS2
reading every 10 ms to Register 0x18.
Figure 13. Current Sense 1 (CS1) Operation
The CS1 ADC is used to measure the average value of the
primary current; the reading is averaged every 2.62 ms in an
asynchronous fashion to make fault decisions. The ADP1046
also writes the 12-bit CS1 reading every 10 ms to Register 0x13.
The fast OCP comparator is used to limit the instantaneous
primary current within each switching cycle and has a nominal
threshold of 1.2 V.
Various thresholds and limits can be set for CS1, as described in
the Current Sense and Current Limit Registers section.
CS2 Operation (CS2+, CS2−)
CS2+ and CS2− are differential inputs used for the monitoring
and protection of the secondary side current. The full-scale
range of the CS2 ADC is programmable to 60 mV or 120 mV.
The differential inputs are fed into an ADC through a pair of
external resistors that provide the necessary level shifting. The
device pins, CS2+ and CS2−, are internally regulated to approximately 1 V by internal current sources.

VOLTAGE SENSE AND CONTROL LOOP
Multiple voltage sense inputs on the ADP1046 are used for the
monitoring, control, and protection of the power supply output.
This information is available through the I
sense points can be calibrated digitally to minimize 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 ADP1046 (see the Power Supply Calibration
and Tri m section for more information).
For voltage monitoring, the VS1, VS2, and VS3 voltage value
registers (Register 0x15, Register 0x16, and Register 0x17,
respectively) are updated every 10 ms. The ADP1046 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 ADP1046 uses two separate sensing points: VS1 and VS3±,
depending on the condition of the OrFET. When the OrFET is
turned off, the control loop is regulated via VS1; when the OrFET
is turned on, the control loop is regulated via the differential
sensing on VS3±. This sensing mechanism effectively performs
a local and remote voltage sense.
The control loop of the ADP1046 features a patented multipath
architecture. The output voltage is converted simultaneously by
two ADCs: a high accuracy ADC and a high speed ADC. The
complete signal is reconstructed and processed in the digital
filter to provide a high performance, cost competitive solution.

C interface. All voltage
Σ-Δ ADCs also differ from Nyquist rate ADCs in that the quantization noise is not uniform across the frequency spectrum. At
lower frequencies, the noise is lower, and at higher frequencies,
the noise is higher (see Figure 17).
Figure 17. Noise Performance for Nyquist Rate and Σ-Δ ADCs
The low frequency ADC runs at approximately 1.56 MHz. For a
specified bandwidth, the equivalent resolution can be calculated
as follows:
ln(1.56 MHz/BW)/ln2 = N bits
For example, at a bandwidth of 95 Hz, the equivalent
resolution/noise is
ln(1.5 MHz/95)/ln2 = 14 bits
At a bandwidth of 1.5 kHz, the equivalent resolution/noise is
ln(1.56 MHz/1.5 kHz)/ln2 = 10 bits
The high frequency ADC has a clock of 25 MHz. It is comb
filtered and outputs at the switching frequency (f
) into the
SW
digital filter. The equivalent resolution at some sample
frequencies is listed in Ta b l e 5.
Figure 16. Voltage Sense Configuration
ADCs
Two kinds of Σ-Δ ADCs are used in the feedback loop of the
ADP1046: a low frequency (LF) ADC that runs at 1.56 MHz
and a high frequency (HF) ADC that runs at 25 MHz.
Σ-Δ ADCs have a resolution of one bit and operate differently
from traditional flash ADCs. The equivalent resolution obtainable depends on how long the output bit stream of the Σ-Δ is
sampled.

The HF ADC has a range of ±30 mV. Using a base switching
frequency (f
increases to 200 kHz (7-bit HF ADC resolution), the quantization
noise is 0.9375 mV (1 LSB). Increasing f

VS1 OPERATION (VS1)
Rev. A | Page 16 of 96
VS1 is used for the monitoring and protection of the power supply
voltage at the output of the LC stage, upstream of the OrFET. The
VS1 sense point on the power rail needs an external resistor
divider to bring the nominal input voltage to 1 V at the VS1 pin
(see Figure 16). The resistor divider is necessary because the VS1
ADC input range is 0 V to 1.6 V (12-bit reading). This divideddown signal is internally fed into a low speed Σ-Δ ADC. The output
of the VS1 ADC goes to the digital filter and is also updated in
Register 0x15 every 10 ms. The VS1 signal is referenced to PGND.
When the OrFET is turned off, the power supply is regulated
from the VS1 sense point instead of the VS3± sense point.

VS2 OPERATION (VS2)
VS2 is used in conjunction 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 16).
The resistor divider is necessary because the VS2 ADC input
range is 0 V to 1.6 V. This divided-down signal is internally fed
into the VS2 ADC. The output of the VS2 ADC goes to the VS2
voltage value register (Register 0x16). The VS2 signal is never
used for the control loop but is used to control the turn-on and
turn-off of the OrFET (see the OrFET Control (GATE) section)
as well as the voltage continuity flag. If the OrFET function of
the ADP1046 is not used, it is recommended that the VS2 input
be connected directly to PGND. The VS2 value is updated in
Register 0x16 every 10 ms.
VS3 OPERATION (VS3+, VS3−)
VS3± is used for the monitoring and protection of the remote
load voltage. VS3± is a fully differential input that 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 16). The resistor divider is necessary
because the VS3 ADC input range is 0 V to 1.6 V. This divideddown signal is internally fed into a high frequency (HF) ADC.
The output of the VS3 ADC goes to the digital filter and is also
updated in Register 0x17 every 10 ms. The HF ADC is also the
high frequency feedback loop for the power supply.
VOLTAGE LINE FEEDFORWARD AND ACSNS
The ADP1046 supports voltage line feedforward control to
improve line transient performance. The ACSNS value is used
to divide the output of the digital filter, and the result is fed into
the PWM engine. The input voltage signal can be sensed at the
secondary winding of the isolation transformer and must be
filtered by an RCD network to eliminate the voltage spike at the
switch node (see Figure 18).
The feedforward scheme modifies the modulation value based
on the ACSNS voltage. When the ACSNS input is 1 V, the line
feedforward has no effect. For example, if the digital filter output
remains unchanged and the ACSNS voltage changes to 50% of
its original value (still higher than 0.5 V), the modulation of the
falling edge of OUTx doubles and vice versa (see Figure 19). The
voltage line feedforward function is optional and is programmable
using Register 0x75.
Figure 19. Feedforward Control on Modulation
The ACSNS level comparator is also connected on the same pin
and flags an ACSNS fault when the voltage on the pin is below
0.45 V within each switching period. The ACSNS level comparator
is used to detect whether the node is switching.
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, Inc., 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:
Figure 18. Feedforward Configuration
The ACSNS voltage must be set to 1 V when the nominal input
voltage is applied. The ACSNS ADC sampling period is 10 µs;
therefore, the decision to modify the PWM outputs based on
input voltage is performed at this rate.

To transfer the z-domain value to the s-domain, plug the following bilinear transformation equation into the H(z) equation:
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 = 360 × (f
C/fSW
)
where:
f
is the crossover frequency.
C
f
is the switching frequency.
SW
At one-tenth the switching frequency, the phase delay is 36°.
The GUI incorporates this phase delay into its calculations.
Note that the GUI does not account for other delays such as
gate driver and propagation delays.
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 light load
mode filter is controlled by programming Register 0x64 to
Register 0x67. The ADP1046 uses the light load mode filter
only when the output current measured on CS2± is below the
load current threshold (programmed using Register 0x3B[2:0]).
The Analog Devices software GUI allows the user to program the
light load mode filter in the same manner as the normal mode
filter. It is recommended that the GUI be used for this purpose.
In addition, during the soft start process, a soft start filter can
be used in combination with the normal mode filter and the
light load mode filter. The soft start filter is programmed using
Register 0x71 to Register 0x74. For more information, see the
Soft Start section.
Filter Transitions
To avoid output voltage glitches and provide a seamless
transition from one filter to another, the ADP1046 supports
programmable filter transitions. This feature allows a gradual
transition from one filter to another. Filter transitions are
programmed using Register 0x7A[2:0].
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 such as full-bridge,
phase-shifted ZVS configurations and interleaved, two switch
forward converter configurations. Delays between rising and
falling edges can be individually programmed. Special care
must be taken to avoid shootthrough and cross-conduction.
It is recommended that the Analog Devices software GUI be
used to program these outputs. Figure 20 shows an example
configuration to drive a full-bridge, phase-shifted topology
with synchronous rectification.
Figure 20. PWM Pin Assignment for Full-Bridge, Phase-Shifted Topology
with Synchronous Rectification
The PWM and SR outputs are all synchronized with each
other. 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 ADP1046 at the same time. During
reprogramming, the outputs are temporarily disabled. A special
instruction is sent to the ADP1046 to ensure that new timing
information is programmed simultaneously. This is done by
setting Bit 1 in Register 0x7F. 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.
For more information about the various programmable switching
frequencies and PWM timings, see the PWM and Synchronous
Rectifier Timing Registers section (Register 0x3F to Register 0x5C).

SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION
SR1 and SR2 are recommended for use as the PWM control
signals when using synchronous rectification. These PWM
signals can be configured much like the other PWM outputs.
An optional soft start can be applied to the synchronous
rectifier PWM outputs. The SR soft start can be programmed
using Register 0x54[1:0].
•When SR soft start is disabled (Register 0x54[0] = 0),
the SR signals are turned on to their full PWM duty cycle
values immediately.
•When SR soft start is enabled (Register 0x54[0] = 1), the
SR signals ramp up from zero duty cycle to the desired
duty cycle in steps of 40 ns per switching cycle.
The advantage of ramping the SR signals is to minimize the
output voltage step that occurs when the SR FETs are turned
on without a soft start. 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 only once (the first time that the SR signals are enabled)
or every time that the SR signals are enabled, for example, when
the system enters or exits light load mode.
When programming the ADP1046 to use SR soft start, ensure
correct operation of this function by setting the falling edge of
SR1 (t
) to a lower value than the rising edge of SR1 (t9) and by
10
setting the falling edge of SR2 (t
edge of SR2 (t
). SR soft start can also be disabled by setting
11
) to a lower value than the rising
12
Register 0x0F[7] = 1.
SR (SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER) DELAY
The ADP1046 is well suited for dc-to-dc converters in isolated
topologies. Every time a PWM signal crosses the isolation barrier
an additional propagation delay is added due to the isolating
components. The ADP1046 allows programming of an adjustable
delay (0 ns to 315 ns in steps of 5 ns) using Register 0x79[5:0]. This
delay moves both SR1 and SR2 later in time to compensate for the
added delay due to the isolating components (see Figure 56). In
this way, the edges of all PWM outputs can be aligned, and the
SR delay can be applied separately as a constant dead time.
ADAPTIVE DEAD TIME CONTROL
A set of registers called the adaptive dead time (ADT) registers
(Register 0x68 to Register 0x70) allows the dead time between
PWM edges to be adapted on the fly. The ADP1046 uses the ADT
only when the modulation is below the dead time (primary
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 GUI be used for
this purpose.
Before ADT is configured, the primary current threshold must
be programmed. Each individual PWM rising and falling edge
(t
to t14) can then be programmed to have a specific dead time
1
offset at no load (zero current).
Rev. A | Page 19 of 96
This offset can be positive or negative and is relative to the nominal
edge position. When the CS1 current is between zero and the
current threshold, the amount of dead time is linearly adjusted
in steps of 5 ns. The averaging period of the CS1 current and
the speed of the dead time adjustment can also be programmed
in Register 0x70 to accommodate faster or slower adjustment.
For example, if the CS1 threshold is set to 2 A, t
rising edge of 100 ns. If the ADT setting for t
t
moves to 140 ns when the current is 0 A and to 120 ns when
1
has a nominal
1
is 40 ns at no load,
1
the current is 1 A. Similarly, ADT can be applied in the negative
direction.
LIGHT LOAD MODE
The ADP1046 can be configured to disable PWM outputs under
light load conditions based on the value of CS2. Register 0x3B
and Register 0x7D are used to program the light load mode
thresholds for turn-off and turn-on of SR1, SR2, and other
PWM outputs. Below the light load threshold programmed in
Register 0x3B, the SR outputs are disabled; the user can also
program any of the other PWM outputs to shut down below
this threshold. Light load mode allows the ADP1046 to be used
with interleaved topologies that incorporate automatic phase
shedding at light load.
To prevent the system from oscillating between light load
and normal modes due to the thresholds being programmed
too close to each other, a programmable debounce is provided
in Register 0x7D[5:4]. This debounce prevents the part from
changing state within the programmed interval.
The speed of the SR enable is programmable from 37.5 µs to 300 µs
in four discrete steps using Register 0x7D[3:2]. 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.
The light load mode digital filter is also used during light
load mode.
MODULATION LIMIT
The modulation limit register (Register 0x2E) can be
programmed to apply a maximum duty cycle modulation limit
to any PWM signal, thus limiting the modulation range of any
PWM output. When modulation is enabled, the maximum
modulation limit is applied to all PWM outputs collectively. As
shown in Figure 21, this limit is the maximum time variation
for the modulated edges from the default timing, following the
configured modulation direction. There is no minimum duty
cycle limit setting. Therefore, the user must set the rising edges
and falling edges based on the case with the least modulation.
Figure 21. Modulation Limit Settings
ADP1046 Data Sheet
10045-119
Each LSB in Register 0x2E corresponds to a different time step
size, depending on the switching frequency (see Tab l e 46). The
modulated edges cannot extend beyond one switching cycle.
The GUI provided with the ADP1046 is recommended for
programming this feature (see Figure 22).
Figure 22. Setting Modulation Limits (Modulation Range Shown by Arrows)
SOFT START
The turning on and off of the ADP1046 is controlled by the
hardware PSON pin and/or the software PSON register,
depending on the configured settings in Register 0x2C.
When the user turns on the power supply (enables PSON),
the following soft start procedure occurs (see Figure 23).
1. The PSON signal is enabled at Time t
programmed to be always on (Register 0x2C[7:6] = 00),
PSON is enabled as soon as VCORE is above UVLO.
2. The ADP1046 waits for the programmed PS_ON delay
(set in Register 0x2C[4:3]).
3. The soft start begins to ramp up the internal digital refer-
ence. The total duration of the soft start ramp is programmable from 5 ms to 100 ms using Register 0x5F[7:5].
4. If the soft start from precharge function is enabled
(Register 0x5F[4] = 1), the soft start ramp starts from
the value of the output voltage sensed on VS1 or VS3±
(depending on the OrFET status), and the soft start ramp
time is reduced proportionally. If the soft start from precharge function is disabled, the soft start ramp time is the
programmed value in Register 0x5F[7:5].
5. When the power supply voltage exceeds the VS1 under-
voltage protection (UVP) limit (set in Register 0x34[6:0]),
the UVP flag is reset.
6. The OrFET is turned on as soon as the OrFET enable thresh-
old is met. (The OrFET enable threshold is programmed in
Register 0x30[6:5].) The regulation point is switched from
VS1 to VS3±.
7. If no other fault conditions are present, the PGOODx
signals wait for the programmed debounce time (set in
Register 0x2D[7:4]) and are then enabled. The soft start
flag must be unmasked in Register 0x7B and Register 0x7C
(Bit 7 must be set to 0).
8. If no OrFET is used, the power supply must be configured
to regulate using VS3 at all times (Register 0x33[2] = 1).
VS2 can be used as a secondary OVP mechanism.

Fault Condition During Soft Start
If a fault condition occurs during soft start, the controller responds
as programmed unless the flag is blanked. Flag blanking during
soft start is programmed in Register 0x0F. The UVP and ACSNS
flags are always blanked during soft start. The OTP, FLAGIN,
OVP, and OCP fault flags can be blanked during soft start by
setting the appropriate bits in Register 0x0F.
Digital Compensation Filters During Soft Start
The ADP1046 has a dedicated soft start filter (SSF) that can be
used to fine-tune and optimize the dynamic response during
the output voltage ramp-up.
Before it ramps up the internal reference after the PSON signal
is enabled, the ADP1046 evaluates whether the OrFET should
be turned on or off by looking at the difference between VS1
and VS2. This step is done to determine whether the regulation
point should be VS1 or VS3± (see Figure 23).
•If the regulation point is VS1, the soft start filter is used
by default during the ramp-up. At the end of the soft start
ramp, the part switches to the normal mode filter (NMF).
•If the regulation point is VS3±, the part starts the ramp
using the normal mode filter (NMF).
In both cases, after the voltage reaches 12.5% of the nominal
output voltage value, the load current is evaluated.
•If the load current is below the light load mode threshold,
the part switches to the light load mode filter (LLF).
•If the load current is above the light load mode threshold,
the normal mode filter is used until the end of the soft start
ramp, even if the system subsequently enters light load
mode based on a change to the load current.
Register 0x2C can be programmed to configure the use of the
different filters during soft start as follows:
•Force soft start filter (Bit 0). This option forces the part to
use the soft start filter even when the regulation point is
VS3. In some cases, this option allows better fine-tuning of
the ramp-up voltage. This option can also be selected when
an OrFET is not used.
•Disable light load mode during soft start (Bit 1). This
option prevents the use of the light load mode filter during
soft start, even if the light load condition is met. The light
load mode filter is available for use after the end of the soft
start ramp.

ORFET CONTROL (GATE)
The GATE control signal drives an external OrFET. The OrFET
is used in redundant systems to protect against power flow into
the power supply from another supply’s output terminals. This
ensures that power flows only out of the power supply and that
the unit can be hot-swapped.
The GATE pin is a totem-pole output and does not require a
pull-up resistor. The GATE pin polarity can be programmed via
Register 0x2D[1] to be active high or active low. The GATE output is CMOS level (0 V to 3.3 V). An external driver is required
to turn the OrFET on or off.
OrFET Turn-On
The turn-on process for the OrFET is controlled by the voltage
difference between VS1 and VS2. For this reason, the VS1 and
VS2 readings must be correctly calibrated for the OrFET function to perform properly.
The OrFET turn-on circuit detects the voltage difference between
VS1 and VS2 (see Figure 25). When the forward voltage drop from
VS1 to VS2 is greater than the programmable OrFET enable
threshold set in Register 0x30[6:5], the OrFET is enabled. The
OrFET enable threshold can be set to 0%, −0.5%, −1%, or −2%
of the nominal output voltage.
OrFET Turn-Off
The OrFET can be turned off by three methods:
•Fault flag. Any flag in a fault configuration register
(Register 0x08 to Register 0x0D) can be programmed with
an action to turn off the OrFET. The OrFET is kept off for
as long as the flag is set.
•OrFET programmable comparator. If the reverse voltage
present on CS2± exceeds the analog comparator threshold
programmed in Register 0x30[4:2], the OrFET is turned off.
This comparator can be disabled using Register 0x30[0].
•GATE signal disable. When Register 0x5D[0] = 1, the
GATE signal is disabled and has no effect on the VSx
feedback point.
OrFET GATE Control and Regulation Points
The GATE signal is enabled when the threshold configured
in Register 0x30[6:5]) is met. The GATE signal controls a very
important function of output voltage regulation: the control
loop sensing point.
•When the GATE signal is disabled, the OrFET is turned off
and the voltage regulation sensing point is VS1.
•When the GATE signal is enabled, the OrFET is turned on
and the voltage regulation sensing point is VS3±.
Recommended Setup for a 12 V Application
In normal operating mode, follow this procedure:
•When 12 V < V
< OVP, use the fast OrFET control
OUT
circuit to turn off the Or FE T.
•When V
> OVP, use load OVP to turn off the OrFET.
OUT
In light load mode, follow this procedure:
•When 12 V < V
< OVP, use ACSNS to turn off the
OUT
OrF ET.
•When V
> OVP, use load OVP to turn off the OrFET.
OUT
In a 12 V application, when an internal short circuit occurs, use
CS1 OCP or VS1 UVP to shut down the unit and restart it.

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 28 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. Figure 28 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).
Figure 26. Hot Plug into a Live Bus (Yellow Is Bus Voltage; Red Is VS1 Voltage;
Green Is OrFET Control Signal; Blue Is Load Current)
Runaway Master
A rogue PSU on the bus (yellow) has a fault condition, causing
the bus voltage to increase above the OVP threshold. The good
PSU turns off the OrFET (green) and regulates its internal voltage, VS1 (red). When the rogue power supply fault condition is
removed, the bus voltage decreases. The OrFET of the good PSU
is immediately turned on, and the good PSU resumes regulating
from VS3±.
Figure 28. Internal Short Circuit (Yellow Is Bus Voltage; Red Is VS1 Voltage;
Green Is OrFET Control Signal; Blue Is Load Current)
Light Load Mode Operation
PSU 1 increases its voltage at light load from 12 V to 12.1 V
(yellow). Both PSU 1 and PSU 2 are CCM; therefore PSU 1
sources current and PSU 2 sinks current (blue). In PSU 2, the
OrFET control turns off the OrFET to prevent reverse current
from flowing. Note that the OrFET voltage (green) is solid during
this transition because PSU 1 and PSU 2 are in CCM mode.

VDD
When VDD is applied, a certain time elapses before the part is
capable of regulating the power supply. When VDD rises above
the power-on reset and UVLO levels, it takes approximately
20 μs for VCORE to reach its operational point of 2.5 V. T h e
EEPROM contents are then downloaded to the registers. The
download takes an additional 25 μs (approximately). After the
EEPROM download, the ADP1046 is ready for operation.
If the ADP1046 is programmed to power up at this time (PSON
is enabled), the soft start ramp begins. Otherwise, the part waits
for the PSON signal.
The proper amount of decoupling capacitance must be placed
between VDD and AGND, as close as possible to the device to
minimize the trace length. It is recommended that the VCORE
pin not be used as a reference or to generate other logic levels
using resistive dividers.
VDD/VCORE OVLO
The ADP1046 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 using
Register 0x0E[7:5]. It is recommended that when a VDD/
VCORE OVP fault occurs, the response be set to download the
EEPROM before restarting the part (set Register 0x0E[6] = 1).
POWER GOOD
The ADP1046 has two open-drain power-good pins. The
PGOOD1 pin is driven low when a PGOOD1 fault condition
is present; the PGOOD2 pin is driven low when a PGOOD2
fault condition is present. The PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 pins
and flags can be programmed to respond to the following flags:
• Soft start
• CS1 fast OCP
• CS1 accurate OCP
• CS2 accurate OCP
• UVP
• Local OVP (fast and accurate)
• Load OVP
• OrFET (GATE pin )
The masking of these flags is programmed in Register 0x7B
(for PGOOD1) and Register 0x7C (for PGOOD2). When a flag
is masked, it does not set PGOOD1 or PGOOD2.
The following additional flags can also set the PGOOD2 pin either
unconditionally or based on the flag response, as programmed
in Register 0x2D[3] (see Figure 30 and Table 45).
• Voltage continuity
• OrFET disable
• ACSNS
• External flag (FLAGIN pin)
• OTP
These additional flags can be programmed in Register 0x2D[3]
to always set PGOOD2 or to set PGOOD2 only if the flag action
is not set to “ignore” in the fault configuration register for that
flag (see Table 12 and Table 13).

CURRENT SHARING (SHARE)
The ADP1046 supports both analog current sharing and digital
current sharing. The ADP1046 can use either the CS1 current
information or the CS2 current information for current sharing
(this setting is programmed in Register 0x29[3]).
Analog Current Sharing
Analog current sharing uses the internal current sensing
circuitry to provide a current reading to an external current
error amplifier. Therefore, an additional differential current
amplifier is not necessary.
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 32). The bit stream
is proportional to the current 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 that is
proportional to the current delivered by this unit to the load. This
voltage can be compared to the share bus voltage. 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, in turn, its current contribution to the load.
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 ADP1046 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).
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 31 shows the configuration of the digital share bus.
Figure 31. 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 ADP1046 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 ADP1046 is hot-swapped onto an existing digital share bus,
the device waits to begin sharing until the next frame. The new
ADP1046 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 ADP1046 devices during the next start bit.
The digital share bus frame is shown in Figure 33.

The digital word that represents the current information is eight
bits long. The ADP1046 takes the eight MSBs of the CS1 or CS2
reading (the current share signal specified in Register 0x29[3])
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 35).
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 may 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 on the share bus.
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
is programmable in Register 0x2A[3:0]. The primary side or the
secondary side current can be used as the current share signal
by programming Register 0x29[3].

POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND FAULT MONITORING
The ADP1046 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 ADP1046 has an extensive set of flags that are set when
certain programmed thresholds or limits are exceeded. These
thresholds and limits are described in the Fault Registers section.
FLAGS
The ADP1046 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 actions
such as turning off certain PWM outputs or the OrFET gate.
Flags can also be used to turn off the power supply. The ADP1046
can be programmed to respond when these flags are reset. For
more information, see the Fault Registers section.
The ADP1046 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 fault register resets
all the flags in that register.
MONITORING FUNCTIONS
The ADP1046 monitors and reports several signals, including
voltages, currents, power, and temperature. All these values are
stored in separate registers and can be read through the I
2
C
interface. For more information, see the Value Registers section.
VOLTAGE READINGS
The VS1, VS2, and VS3 ADCs have an input range of 1.6 V.
The outputs of the ADCs are 12-bit values, which means that
the LSB size is 1.6 V/4096 = 390.625 μV. The user is limited to
an input range of 1.4 V, which means that the ADC output code
is limited to 1.4 V/390.6 μV = 3584.
The equation to calculate the ADC code at a specified voltage
(Vx) at the pin is given by the following formula:
ADC Code = Vx/1.6 × 4096
For example, when there is 1 V on the input of the ADC,
ADC Code = 1 V/1.6 × 4096
ADC Code = 2560
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
= (LSB × 2560) × ((R1 + R2)/R2)
OUT
In a 12 V system, this equates to
V
= (390.625 μV × 2560) × (11 kΩ + 1 kΩ)/1 kΩ
OUT
CURRENT READINGS
CS1 Pin
CS1 has an input range of 1.4 V. The ADC performs a 12-bit
reading conversion of this value, which means that the LSB size
is 1.4 V/4096 = 341.8 μV.
When there is exactly 1 V on the CS1 pin, the value in the CS1
value register (Register 0x13[15:4]) reads 2926.
The equation to calculate the ADC code at a specified CS1
input voltage (Vx) is given by the following formula:
ADC Code = Vx/1.4 × 4096
For example, when there is 1 V on the CS1 input pin,
ADC Code = 1 V/1.4 × 4096
ADC Code = 2926
CS2+, CS2− Pins
The full-scale (FS) range for the CS2 ADC can be set to 60 mV
or 120 mV using Register 0x27[5].
The CS2 ADC has an input range of 120 mV. The resolution is
12 bits, which means that the LSB size is 120 mV/4096 = 29.30 μV.
The user is limited to an input range of 110 mV.
The equation to calculate the ADC code at a specified voltage
(V
) is given by the following formula:
X
ADC Code = Vx/(120 mV) × 4096
For example, when there is 50 mV on the input of the ADC,
ADC Code = 50 mV/120 mV × 4096
ADC Code = 1707
Therefore, to convert the CS2 register value to a real current,
use the following formula:
I
= (CS2_ADC_CODE/4096) × (FS/R
OUT
where:
CS2_ADC_CODE is the value in Register 0x18[15:4].
FS is the full-scale voltage drop (60 mV or 120 mV).
R
is the sense resistor value.
SENSE
For example, if CS2_ADC_CODE = 1520, R
FS = 120 mV, the real current is calculated as follows:

The output power value register (Register 0x19) is the product

a combination of the formulas in the Voltage Readings section

POWER MONITORING ACCURACY
The ADP1046 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 ADP1046 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 toggling PSON. 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 ADP1046. Register 0x0A[3:0] can be used to program
the FLAGIN flag to trigger an action.
TEMPERATURE READINGS (RTD PIN)
The RTD pin is set up for use with an external negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. The RTD pin has an internal
programmable current source. An ADC monitors the voltage
on the RTD pin.
The RTD temperature value register, Register 0x1A, is updated
every 10 ms. The ADP1046 stores every ADC sample for 10 ms
and then outputs the average value at the end of the 10 ms period.
The RTD ADC has an input range of 1.6 V and a resolution of
12 bits, which means that the LSB size is 1.6 V/4096 = 390.625 µV.
The user is limited to an input range of 1.3 V, which means that the
maximum ADC output code is limited to 1.3 V/390.6 µV = 3328.
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, the user must
perform postprocessing on the RTD ADC reading to accurately
read the temperature.
By connecting an external resistor (R
) in parallel with the
EXT
NTC thermistor (TH), a constant current can be used to
achieve linearization (see Figure 36).
Figure 36. Temperature Measurement Using Thermistor
An internal, precision current source of 10 µA, 20 µA, 30 µA,
or 40 µA can be selected in Register 0x11. This current source
can be trimmed by means of an internal DAC to compensate
for thermistor accuracy (see the RTD/OTP Trim section). The
user can select the output current source using Bits[7:6] of
Register 0x11.
The ADP1046 implements a linearization scheme based on a
preselected combination of external components and current
selection for best performance when measuring linearized
temperatures in degrees Celsius in the industrial range.
For more information about the required thermistor and
selecting and trimming the precision current sources, see
the Temperature Linearization Scheme section.
Optionally, the user can process the RTD reading and perform
postprocessing in the form of a lookup table or polynomial
equation to match the specific NTC thermistor used. With the
internal current source set to 46 µA, the equation to calculate
the ADC code at a specified NTC thermistor value (Rx) is given
by the following formula:
ADC CODE = 46 µA × Rx/1.6 × 4096
For example, at 60°C, the NTC thermistor at the RTD pin is
21.82 kΩ.
RTD_ADC_CODE = 46 µA × 21.82 kΩ/1.6 × 4096 = 2570

Temperature Linearization Scheme
The ADP1046 implements a linearization scheme based on a
preselected combination of thermistor (100 kΩ, 1%), external
resistor (16.5 kΩ, 1%), and the 46 µA current source for best
performance when linearizing measured temperatures in the
industrial range.
The required NTC thermistor should have a resistance of
100 kΩ, 1%, such as the NCP15WF104F03RC (beta = 4250,
1%). It is recommended that 1% tolerance be used for both the
resistor and beta values.
Reading the Linearized Temperature
Reading Register 0x1B (updated every 10 ms) returns the current
temperature according to an internal linearization scheme. See
Table 1 for the specified accuracy of these measurements. The
temperature reading result is represented in 8-bit decimal format
in °C; therefore, the temperature range for this reading is from
0°C to 255°C.
OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION (OTP)
If the temperature sensed at the RTD pin exceeds the threshold
programmed in Register 0x2F, the OTP flag is set. The response
to the OTP flag is programmable using Register 0x0B[7:4].
An RTD trim is required to make accurate temperature readings
at the lower end of the RTD ADC range to account for tolerances
in the NTC thermistor and the external resistor. This trim results
in a more accurate measurement for determining the OTP
threshold (see the RTD/OTP Trim section).
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (OCP)
The ADP1046 has several OCP functions. CS1 and CS2± have
separate OCP circuits to provide both primary and secondary
side protection.
CS1 OCP
CS1 has two protection circuits: CS1 fast OCP and CS1 accurate
OCP (see Figure 38).
CS1 Fast OCP
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 programmable blanking time can be set to ignore
the leading edge current spike at the beginning of the current
signal (leading edge blanking).
A debounce time can be programmed to improve the noise immunity of the OCP circuit. When the CS1 fast OCP comparator is
set, the OUTA, OUTB, OUTC, and OUTD PWM outputs are
immediately disabled for the remainder of the switching cycle.
These outputs are reenabled at the start of the next switching
cycle. This function cannot be bypassed.
CS1 Accurate OCP
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 limit. The CS1 accurate OCP value can be programmed
from 0 to 31 decimal using Register 0x22[4:0]. If the CS1 reading
exceeds the CS1 accurate OCP limit, the CS1 accurate OCP flag
is set. The CS1 ADC is asynchronously sampled, and the readings
are averaged every 2.62 ms to make a fault decision. The flag
response is programmed in Register 0x08.

CS2 OCP
CS2 has one OCP protection circuit: CS2 accurate OCP (see
Figure 39). 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 using Register 0x26[7:0]. If
the CS2 reading exceeds the CS2 OCP threshold, the CS2 accurate
OCP flag is set. The CS2 ADC is asynchronously sampled, and
the readings are averaged every 2.62 ms to make a fault decision.
The flag response is programmed in Register 0x09.
CONSTANT CURRENT MODE
The ADP1046 can be configured to operate in constant current
mode. The threshold to enter constant current mode operation is
3% current below the CS2 accurate OCP setting (see Figure 40).
Below this current, the part operates in constant voltage mode,
using the output voltage as the feedback signal for closed-loop
operation.
vs. I
Figure 40. Constant Current Mode (V
OUT
When the ADP1046 reaches the constant current mode threshold,
a flag is set in Register 0x02[4] and in Register 0x06[4] (real-time
and latched flag registers, respectively). When this flag is set,
the CS2 current reading is used to control the output voltage
regulation point. The output voltage is ramped down linearly as
the load increases to ensure that the current remains constant.
OUT
)
The constant current control loop is relatively low bandwidth
because the current is averaged over a 328 µs period. The output
voltage changes at a maximum rate of 1.18 V/sec at the VS3± pins;
therefore, the instantaneous value of the current can exceed the
constant current limit for a very short period of time, depending upon the transient.
As the output voltage falls, the UVP flag (Register 0x0B[3:0])
can be used to program a shutdown action.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
The ADP1046 has three separate OVP circuits. If the output
voltage at the VS1 pin, VS2 pin, or VS3± pins exceeds the
programmable threshold for that pin, the appropriate OVP flag
is set. The flag response is programmed in Register 0x09[3:0]
for the VS2 and VS3 OVP flags or in Register 0x0A[7:4] for the
VS1 OVP flag.
VS1 has two OVP circuits: a fast comparator (fast OVP) and an
ADC based comparator (accurate OVP). VS2 and VS3 share an
accurate OVP circuit.
The OVP circuits can be programmed for different OVP
thresholds. See Register 0x32 and Register 0x33 for more
information.
The sampling time for the ADC based comparators is 80 µs.
Additional debounce in steps of 80 µs can be added using
Bits[1:0] of Register 0x32 and Register 0x33.
The fast OVP comparator also has a programmable threshold and
debounce time. These values are programmed in Register 0x37.
Rev. A | Page 30 of 96
Data Sheet ADP1046
UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (UVP)
If the voltage sensed at the VS1 pin falls below the programmable UVP threshold, the UVP flag is set. The UVP threshold
is programmed in Register 0x34; the GUI can also be used, as
shown in Figure 41.
The response to the UVP flag is programmable in Register
0x0B[3:0]. Undervoltage protection and the UVP flag are
disabled during soft start.
AC SENSE (ACSNS)
The ACSNS circuit performs multiple monitoring and control
functions. Two ADCs and a fast comparator are connected to
this pin.
The fast ADC is used for the voltage feedforward function
(see the Voltage Line Feedforward and ACSNS section).
This ADC has an equivalent resolution of 11 bits at 10 μs.
The slow ADC is used to report the input voltage. This
ADC has a resolution of 12 bits at 10 ms.
The fast comparator is used to monitor whether a
switching waveform is present at the output of the
synchronous rectifier stage (or rectifier diodes).
The pick-off point upstream of the output inductor is connected
to the ACSNS pin through an external RCD divider network.
The output of the ACSNS slow ADC is a 12-bit value reported
in Register 0x14. The gain of this ADC can be adjusted using
Register 0x5E[6:0] to compensate for divider errors and the
voltage spike.
The equation to calculate the ADC code is given by the
following formula:
ADC Code = Vx/1.6 × 4096
where Vx is the voltage at the ACSNS pin.
For example, when there is 1 V on the input of the ADC
ADC Code = 1 V/1.6 × 4096
ADC Code = 2560
= (Vx) × (R1 + R2)/R2
V
SENSE
where V
is the filtered secondary voltage.
SENSE
The primary input voltage can be calculated by multiplying
by the turns ratio (N1/N2) as follows:
V
SENSE
V
= Vx × (R1 + R2)/R2 × (N1/N2)
PRIMARY
The ACSNS comparator threshold is set at 0.45 V. If the average
voltage on the ACSNS pin falls below this threshold, the ACSNS
flag is set in Register 0x03[2] and in Register 0x07[2] (real-time
and latched flag registers, respectively), and the programmed
action for the flag is executed.
When operating in resonant mode, the ACSNS comparator is
used for the timing of the synchronous rectifiers and, therefore,
the additional features of the ADC cannot be used. For more
information, see the Resonant Mode Operation section.
10045-138
Figure 41. Voltage Sense Window in Simulation Mode (ADP1046 GUI)
The ADP1046 has a dedicated circuit to maintain volt-second
balance in the main transformer when operating in full-bridge
topology. This circuit eliminates the need for a dc blocking capacitor. In interleaved topologies, volt-second balance can also be
used for current balancing to ensure that each interleaved phase
contributes equal power.
The circuit monitors the current flowing in both legs of the fullbridge topology and stores this information. It compensates the
selected PWM signals to ensure equal current flow in both legs
of the full-bridge topology. The input is through the CS1 pin.
Several switching cycles are required for the circuit to operate
effectively. The maximum amount of modulation applied to
each edge of the selected PWM outputs is programmable to
±80 ns or ±160 ns in Register 0x28[2].
The volt-second balance settings are programmed in Register 0x28
and in Register 0x76 through Register 0x78. It is recommended
that the Analog Devices software GUI be used to program these
settings.
The compensation of the PWM drive signals is performed on
the edges of two selected outputs. The SR1 and SR2 edges can
also be independently set to modulate due to the volt-second
balance circuit to maintain the timing relation to the primary
side signals.
DIGITAL LOAD LINE AND SLEW RATE
The ADP1046 can optionally introduce a digital load line into
the power supply. This option is programmed in the load line
impedance register (Register 0x36). Two parameters can be
configured independently: slew rate and load line value.
The slew rate (Register 0x36[6:4]) determines how quickly the
output voltage is adjusted in response to a change in the digital
reference. Eight different settings are available.
The load line value (Register 0x36[2:0]) controls the slope of
the load line. The amount of output resistance introduced can
be calculated as follows:

POWER SUPPLY CALIBRATION AND TRIM
The ADP1046 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 is factory trimmed, but it
can be retrimmed by the user to compensate for the errors introduced by external components. The ADP1046 GUI allows the
user to automatically revert the trim settings to their factory
default values.
To un lo c k the trim registers for write access, write to the
TRIM_PASSWORD register (Register 0x89). Write the
trim password twice (the factory default password is 0xFF).
The ADP1046 allows the user enough trim capability to trim
for external components with a tolerance of 0.5% or better. If
the ADP1046 is not trimmed in the production environment,
it is recommended that components with a tolerance of 0.1% or
better be used for the inputs to CS1, CS2, VS1, VS2, 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/1.4 × 4096. The CS1
gain trim register (Register 0x21) is adjusted until the CS1 ADC
value in Register 0x13[15:4] 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 × (N1/N2) × R
CS1
where N1/N2 is the turns ratio of the current transformer.
The CS1 ADC outputs a digital code equal to Vx/1.4 × 4096. The
CS1 gain trim register (Register 0x21) is adjusted until the CS1
ADC value in Register 0x13[15:4] reads the correct digital code.
CS2 TRIM
The CS2 trim must compensate for offset and gain errors. The
offset error requires both an analog trim and a digital trim. This
error includes the mismatch of the level shifting resistors to the
inputs of the CS2± differential amplifier and the tolerance of the
current sense element.
CS2 Offset Trim
Offset errors can be introduced by the external level shifting
resistors and the internal current sources. It is best to use two
0.1% matched resistors or matched resistors within the same
package.
It is important to perform the CS2 offset trim as described
in the following steps:
1. Set high-side or low-side current sensing using
Register 0x27[2].
2. Set the nominal full-scale sense resistor voltage drop in
Register 0x27[5] to 1 for the 120 mV range or to 0 for the
60 mV range.
3. Apply no-load current across the sense resistor.
4. Set the CS2 gain trim value to 0 (Register 0x23 = 0).
5. Set the CS2 digital offset trim value to 0 (Register 0x25 = 0).
6. Adjust the CS2 analog offset trim value in Register 0x24[6:0].
For the 120 mV range, adjust Register 0x24 until the CS2
value in Register 0x18[15:4] reads as close to 100 decimal
(0x64) as possible; this value must be greater than 50 (0x32).
For the 60 mV range, adjust Register 0x24 until the CS2
value in Register 0x18[15:4] reads as close to 200 decimal
(0xC8) as possible; this value must be greater than 100 (0x64).
7. Adjust the CS2 digital offset trim value in Register 0x25
until the CS2 value in Register 0x18[15:4] reads 0.
The offset trim is now completed, and the ADC code reads 0 if
there is a 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 ADP1046 can trim for sense resistors with a
tolerance of 1% or better.
1. Apply a known load current (I
) across the sense resistor.
OUT
2. Adjust the CS2 gain trim value in Register 0x23[5:0] until
the CS2 value in Register 0x18[15:4] reads the value
calculated by the following formula:
CS2 Value = I

ADP1046 Data Sheet
VOLTAGE CALIBRATION AND TRIM
The voltage sense inputs are optimized for sensing signals at
1 V (the usable input range is 1.4 V). In a 12 V system, a 12:1
resistor divider is required to reduce the 12 V signal to below
1.4 V. It is recommended that the output voltage of the power
supply be reduced to 1 V at this pin for best performance. The
tolerance of the resistor divider introduces errors that need to
be trimmed. The ADP1046 has enough trim range to trim out
errors introduced by resistors with a tolerance of 0.5% or better.
The VS1, VS2, and VS3 ADCs produce a digital code equal to
VSx/1.6 × 4096. The ADCs output a digital word of 2560
decimal (0xA00) in Bits[15:4] of Register 0x15, Register 0x16,
and Register 0x17 when there is exactly 1 V at their inputs.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SETTING (VS3+, VS3− TRIM)
The VS3± inputs require a gain trim. Set the output regulation
point to 100% of the nominal value (Register 0x31 = 0xA0).
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 across the VS3+ and VS3− differential input
pins. The VS3 trim register (Register 0x3A) is adjusted until
the output voltage is at the desired value. This step should be
performed before any other trim routine. The VS3 voltage
value in Register 0x17[15:4] reads 2560 decimal (0xA00).
VS1 TRIM
The VS1 input requires a gain trim. Enable the power supply
with no-load current. It is recommended that the VS1 voltage
be divided down by the VS1 resistor divider to give 1 V at the
VS1 pin. The VS1 trim register (Register 0x38) is adjusted until
the VS1 value in Register 0x15[15:4] reads 2560 decimal (0xA00).
VS2 TRIM
The VS2 input requires a gain trim. Enable the power supply
with no-load current. It is recommended that the VS2 voltage
be divided down by the VS2 resistor divider to give 1 V at the
VS2 pin. The VS2 trim register (Register 0x39) is adjusted until
the VS2 value in Register 0x16[15:4] reads 2560 decimal (0xA00).
RTD/OTP TRIM
The RTD input requires two trims: one for the current source
and one for the ADC. To use the internal linearization scheme,
additional trimming procedures are required.
Rev. A | Page 34 of 96
Trimming the Current Source
Bits[7:6] of Register 0x11 set the value of the current source to
10 µA, 20 µA, 30 µA, or 40 µA. Bits[5:0] of Register 0x11 can be
used to fine-tune the current value. By fine-tuning the internal
current source, component tolerance can be compensated for
and errors can be minimized. One LSB in Bits[5:0] = 160 nA.
A decimal value of 1 adds 160 nA to the current source set by
Bits[7:6]; a decimal value of 63 adds 63 × 160 nA = 10.08 µA
to the current source set by Bits[7:6].
To program a value for the current source, select the nearest
possible option (10 µA, 20 µA, 30 µA, or 40 µA) using
Register 0x11[7:6]. Then use Register 0x11[5:0] to achieve
the finer step size.
For example, to use a value of 46 µA as the current source,
follow these steps:
1. Place a known resistor (Rx) from RTD to AGND.
2. Set Register 0x11[7:6] to 11 (40 µA).
3. Increase the value of Register 0x11[5:0] one LSB at a time
until the voltage at the RTD pin is V
The current source is now calibrated and is set to the factory
default value.
= 46 µA × Rx.
RTD
Trimming the ADC
Due to the nonlinear nature of the thermistor, two trimming
options can be used.
Using the Internal Linearization Scheme
The first option uses the internal linearization scheme with
46 µA RTD current, which provides an accurate reading in °C
read in Register 0x1B in decimal format.
A 100 kΩ, 1% NTC thermistor with beta = 4250, 1% (such as the
NCP15WF104F03RC) in parallel with an external resistor of
16.5 kΩ, 1%, should be used with the ADP1046. With this NTC
thermistor and resistor combination, the ADP1046 default current
source trim is set to 46 µA to achieve the best possible accuracy
over temperatures ranging from 85°C to 125°C.
If an external microcontroller is used, the RTD ADC code in
Register 0x1A can be fed into the microcontroller and a different
linearization scheme can be implemented in terms of a best-fit
polynomial for the selected NTC characteristics.
Data Sheet ADP1046
A
Using the OTP Value
The second option does not use the linearization scheme.
Instead, the user programs an RTD current and sets the OTP
threshold in millivolts. Due to the nonlinear nature of the NTC
thermistor, it is best to use a resistor in parallel with the NTC
thermistor to aid in the linearization of the voltage seen at the
RTD pin.
This procedure trims out the errors/tolerances in the NTC thermistor and the external resistor. Calculation of the parallel resistor
can be done by knowing the NTC resistance characteristic across
various temperatures.
To use this procedure, the temperatures and equivalent resistances
of the NTC thermistor and parallel resistor combination must
be known.
In Figure 44, T2 is the OTP threshold that sets the OTP flag,
and T1 is the temperature at which the OTP flag is cleared.

The following procedure should be used:

, as described

in the Trimming the Current Source section.
2. Set the temperature to the OTP threshold.
3. Adjust the offset trim registers (Register 0x1C and Register
0x20) until the reading in Register 0x1A is the same as V2
(in mV).
4. Set the OTP threshold (Register 0x2F) to the value of V2.
5. Set the temperature to the hysteresis point where the OTP
flag is cleared.
6. Adjust the temperature gain trim register (Register 0x2B)
until the correct voltage is seen in Register 0x1A.
10045-300
The ADC is now trimmed and is linear between the two
temperatures of interest.
This procedure achieves the most accurate OTP because it takes
into account the part-to-part variations of the ADP1046 and the
tolerances of the thermistor being used.
ACSNS CALIBRATION AND TRIM
The ACSNS feedforward ADC (see Figure 18) is used for
voltage line feedforward and cannot be trimmed by the user.
The ACSNS slow ADC requires a gain trim. Enable the power
supply with full load current at the nominal input voltage. The
secondary peak reverse voltage on the output rectifiers is
filtered by an external RCD circuit (see Figure 18).
To trim the ACSNS ADC, the user can reverse-calculate the
primary voltage as follows:
V
= Vx × (R1 + R2)/R2 × (N1/N2)
PRIMARY
where:
Vx is the voltage at the ACSNS pin.
N1/N2 is the turns ratio.
The ACSNS gain trim register (Register 0x5E) is adjusted until
this calculated voltage is equal to the desired primary input
voltage.
Another way to trim the ACSNS ADC uses the average secondary voltage. With known values for the nominal input voltage,
transformer turns ratio, and resistor dividers at the ACSNS pin,
the ACSNS gain trim register (Register 0x5E) is adjusted to give
code 2560 decimal (0xA00).
ADC Code = Vx/1.6 × 4096
where Vx is the voltage at the ACSNS pin.
The resistors in Figure 18 are sized such that the first time
constant, RC, is long enough to prevent overcharging of the
capacitor (roughly 200 ns in a typical application), whereas the
second time constant, (R1 + R2) × C, is long enough to keep the
average voltage constant during the rectifier off time.

ADP1046 Data Sheet
LAYOUT GUIDELINES
This section explains best practices that should be followed
to ensure optimal performance of the ADP1046. In general,
all components should be placed as close to the ADP1046 as
possible. All signals should be referenced to their respective
grounds.
CS2+ AND CS2−
The routing of the traces from the sense resistor to the ADP1046
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 ADP1046 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. Place a 100 nF capacitor from VS3−
to AGND to reduce common-mode noise.
VDD
Place decoupling capacitors as close to the part as possible.
A 4.7 µF 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
ADP1046 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 ADP1046 should be soldered
to the PCB AGND plane.
VCORE
Place a 330 nF decoupling capacitor from this pin to DGND as
close to the part as possible.
RES
Place a 10 kΩ, ±0.1% resistor from this pin to AGND as close to
the part as possible.
RTD
Route a single trace to the ADP1046 from the thermistor using
a dedicated trace to AGND. Place the thermistor close to the
hottest part of the power supply.
AGND, DGND, AND PGND
Create an AGND ground plane and make a single-point (star)
connection to the power supply system ground. Connect DGND
to AGND with a very short trace using a star connection.
Connect PGND to AGND using a star connection.

I2C INTERFACE COMMUNICATION
The ADP1046 I2C slave is a 2-wire interface that can be used
to communicate with other I
2
C-compliant master devices and
is compatible in a multimaster, multislave bus configuration.
FEATURES
The function of the I2C slave is to decode the command sent from
the master device and respond as requested. Communication is
established using a 2-wire interface with a clock line (SCL) and
data line (SDA). The I
2
C slave is designed to externally move
chunks of 8-bit data (bytes) while maintaining compliance with
2
the I
C protocol, based on the Philips I2C Bus Specification,
Version 2.1, dated January 2000. The I
2
C protocol incorporates
the following features:
Slave operation on multiple device systems
7-bit addressing
100 kB/sec and 400 kB/sec data rates
General call address support
Support for clock low extension (clock stretching)
Separate multiple byte receive and transmit FIFO
Extensive communication fault monitoring
OVERVIEW
The I2C slave module is a 2-wire interface that can be used to
communicate with other I
fer protocol is based on the Philips I
ADP1046 is always configured as a slave device in the overall
system. The ADP1046 communicates with the master device
using one data pin (SDA) and one clock pin (SCL). Because the
ADP1046 is a slave device, it cannot generate the clock signal.
However, it is capable of stretching the SCL line to put the
master device in a wait state when it is not ready to respond
to the master’s request.
Communication is initiated when the master device sends a
command to the I
write commands, in which case data is transferred between the
devices in a byte-wide format. Commands can also be send
commands, in which case the command is executed by the slave
device upon receiving the stop bit. The stop bit is the last bit in
a complete data transfer, as defined in the I
protocol. During communication, the master and slave devices
send acknowledge (A) or no acknowledge (NA) bits as a method
of handshaking between devices. Refer to the Philips ISpecification, Version 2.1, dated January 2000, for a more detailed
description of the communication protocol.

Clock Generation and Stretching
The ADP1046 is always a slave in the overall system; therefore,
the device never needs to generate the clock, which is done by
capable of clock stretching to put the master in a wait state. By
the master device in the system. However, the I
2
C slave device is
stretching the SCL signal during the low period, the slave device
communicates to the master device that it is not ready and that
the master device must wait.
Conditions where the I
2
C slave device stretches the SCL line low
include the following:
•The master device is transmitting at a higher baud rate
than the slave device.
•The receive FIFO buffer of the slave device is full and must
be read before continuing. This prevents a data overflow
condition.
•The slave device is not ready to send data that the master
has requested.
Note that the slave device can stretch the SCL line only during
the low period. Also, whereas the I
stretching of the SCL line, the ADP1046 limits the maximum
2
C specification allows indefinite
time that the SCL line can be stretched, or held low. For more
information about the maximum time, see the Timeout
Condition section.
Start and Stop Conditions
Start and stop conditions involve serial data transitions while the
serial clock is at a logic high level. The I
2
C slave device monitors
the SDA and SCL lines to detect the start and stop conditions
and transition its internal state machine accordingly. Typical
start and stop conditions are shown in Figure 53.

Rev. A | Page 38 of 96
Data Sheet ADP1046
GENERAL CALL SUPPORT
The ADP1046 is capable of decoding and acknowledging a
general call address. The general call address is supported for
send, write, and read commands that use Address 0x00 as the
slave address. The I
2
C slave responds to both its own address
and to the general call address (0x00).
Note that all commands start with a slave address with the R/
W
bit cleared (set to 0), followed by the command code. This is
also true when using the general call address to communicate
with the I
2
C slave device.
10-BIT ADDRESSING
The ADP1046 does not support 10-bit addressing as defined in
2
the I
C specification.
FAST MODE
Fast mode (400 kB/sec) uses essentially the same mechanics
as the standard mode of operation; the electrical specifications
and timing are most affected. The I
2
C slave is capable of communicating with a master device operating in standard mode
(100 kB/sec) or fast mode.
REPEATED START CONDITION
In general, a repeated start condition is the absence of a stop
condition between two transfers. The two transfers can be of
any direction type, for example, a transmit followed by a receive
or a receive followed by a transmit. However, the ADP1046 I
2
C
communication protocol uses the repeated start condition only
when performing a read access (read byte, read word, and block
read). Other uses of the repeated start condition are not allowed.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
All logic complies with the electrical specifications outlined in the
Philips I
2
C Bus Specification, Version 2.1, dated January 2000.
FAULT CONDITIONS
The I2C protocol provides a very comprehensive set of fault
conditions that are monitored during communication. These
communication faults are error conditions associated with the
data transfer mechanism of the I
2
C protocol and are explained
in the following sections.
TIMEOUT CONDITION
A timeout condition occurs if any single SCL clock pulse is held
low for longer than the t

its communication protocol.

DATA TRANSMISSION FAULTS
Data transmission faults occur when two communicating
devices violate the I
Sending Too Few Bits
Transmission is interrupted by a start or stop condition before
a complete byte (eight bits) has been sent. Not supported; any
transmitted data is ignored.
Reading Too Few Bits
Transmission is interrupted by a start or stop condition before
a complete byte (eight bits) has been read. Not supported; any
received data is ignored.
Host Sends or Reads Too Few Bytes
If a host ends a packet with a stop condition before the required
bytes are sent/received, it is assumed that the host intended to
stop the transfer. Therefore, the I

Host Sends Too Many Bytes
If a host sends more bytes than are expected for the corresponding command, the I

NACKs all unexpected bytes as they are received
Flushes and ignores the received command and data
Host Reads Too Many Bytes
If a host reads more bytes than are expected for the corresponding command, the I
transmission fault and sends all 1s (0xFF) as long as the host
continues to request data.
Device Busy
The I2C slave device is too busy to respond to a request from the
master device. Typically SCL clock stretching is involved until
the device is free to communicate.

Accesses to reserved bits are not a fault. Writes to reserved bits
are ignored, and reads from reserved bits return undefined data.
Write to Read-Only Commands
If a host performs a write to a read-only command, the I2C slave

• NACKs all unexpected data bytes as they are received
• Flushes and ignores the received command and data
Note that this is the same error described in the Host Sends Too

If a host performs a read from a write-only command, the I2C
slave considers this a data content fault and send all 1s (0xFF) as

EEPROM
The ADP1046 has a built-in EEPROM controller that is used
to communicate with the embedded 8K × 8-byte EEPROM.
The EEPROM, also called Flash®/EE, is partitioned into two
major blocks: the INFO block and the main block. The INFO
block contains 128 8-bit bytes (for internal use only), and the
main block contains 8K 8-bit bytes. The main block is further
partitioned into 16 pages, each page containing 512 bytes.
OVERVIEW
The EEPROM controller provides an interface between the
ADP1046 core logic and the built-in Flash/EE. The user can
control data access to and from the EEPROM through this
controller interface. Different I
2
C commands are available for
the different operations to the EEPROM.
Communication is initiated by the master device sending a
command to the I
2
C slave device to access data from or send
data to the EEPROM. Using read and write commands, data is
transferred between devices in a byte-wide format. Using a read
command, data is received from the EEPROM and transmitted
to the master device. Using a write command, data is received
from the master device and stored in the EEPROM through the
EEPROM controller. Send commands are also supported, in
which case the command is executed by the slave device upon
receiving the stop bit. The stop bit is the last bit in a complete
data transfer, as defined in the I

PAGE ERASE OPERATION
The main block consists of 16 equivalent pages of 512 bytes each,
numbered Page 0 to Page 15. Page 0 and Page 1 of the main block
are reserved for storing the default settings and user settings,
respectively. The user cannot perform a page erase operation
on Page 0 or Page 1. Page 2 and Page 3 are reserved for internal
use, and their contents should not be erased.
Only Page 4 to Page 15 of the main block should be used to store
data. To erase any page from Page 4 to Page 15, the EEPROM
must first be unlocked for access. For instructions on how to
unlock the EEPROM, see the Unlock the EEPROM section.
Page 4 to Page 15 of the main block can be individually erased
using the EEPROM_PAGE_ERASE command (Register 0x87).
For example, to perform a page erase of Page 10, execute the
following command:
The EEPROM allows erasing of whole pages only; therefore,
to change the data of any single byte in a page, the entire page
must first be erased (set high) for that byte to be writable.
Subsequent writes to any bytes in that page are allowed as long
as that byte has not been written to a logic low previously.
READ OPERATION (BYTE READ AND BLOCK READ)
Read from Main Block, Page 0 and Page 1
Page 0 and Page 1 of the main block are reserved for storing the
default settings and user settings, respectively, and are intended
to prevent third-party access to this data. To read from Page 0 or
Page 1, the user must first unlock the EEPROM (see the Unlock
the EEPROM section). After the EEPROM is unlocked, Page 0
and Page 1 are readable using the EEPROM_DATA_xx commands,
as described in the Read from Main Block, Page 2 to Page 15
section. Note that when the EEPROM is locked, a read from
Page 0 or Page 1 returns invalid data.
Read from Main Block, Page 2 to Page 15
Data in Page 2 to Page 15 of the main block is always readable,
even with the EEPROM locked. The data in the EEPROM main
block can be read one byte at a time or in multiple bytes in series
using the EEPROM_DATA_xx commands (Register 0x8B to
Register 0x9A).
Before executing this command, the user must program the
number of bytes to read using the EEPROM_NUM_RD_BYTES
command (Register 0x86). The user can also program the offset
from the page boundary where the first read byte is returned using
the EEPROM_ADDR_OFFSET command (Register 0x85).
In the following example, three bytes from Page 4 are read from
the EEPROM, starting from the fifth byte of that page.
1. Set the number of return bytes = 3.
2. Set address offset = 5.
3. Read three bytes from Page 4.
Figure 54. Example Erase Command
In this example, command code = 0x87 and data byte = 0x0A.
Note that it is necessary to wait at least 35 ms for the page erase
operation to complete before executing the next I
2
C command.
Note that the block read command can read a maximum of
256 bytes for any single transaction (set the number of return
bytes = 0).

WRITE OPERATION (BYTE WRITE AND BLOCK
WRITE)
Write to Main Block, Page 0 and Page 1
Page 0 and Page 1 of the main block are reserved for storing the
default settings and user settings, respectively. The user cannot
perform a direct write operation to Page 0 or Page 1 using the
EEPROM_DATA_00 and EEPROM_DATA_01 commands. A
user write to Page 0 or Page 1 returns a no acknowledge. To
program the register contents of Page 1 of the main block, it is
recommended that the STORE_USER_ALL command be used
(Register 0x82). See the Save Register Settings to User Settings
section.
Write to Main Block, Page 2 and Page 3
Page 2 and Page 3 of the main block are reserved for internal
use and their contents should not be written to. Only Page 4
to Page 15 should be used to store data.
Write to Main Block, Page 4 to Page 15
Before performing a write to Page 4 through Page 15 of the
main block, the user must first unlock the EEPROM (see the
Unlock the EEPROM section).
Data in Page 4 to Page 15 of the EEPROM main block can be
programmed (written to) one byte at a time or in multiple bytes in
series using the EEPROM_DATA_xx commands (Register 0x8B
to Register 0x9A). Before executing this command, the user can
program the offset from the page boundary where the first byte
is written using the EEPROM_ADDR_OFFSET command
(Register 0x85).
If the targeted page has not yet been erased, the user can erase
the page as described in the Page Erase Operation section.
In the following example, four bytes are written to Page 9,
starting from the 256
1. Set address offset = 256.
2. Write four bytes to Page 9.
th
byte of that page.
EEPROM PASSWORD
On power-up, the EEPROM is locked and protected from
accidental writes or erases. Only reads from Page 2 to Page 15
of the main block are allowed when the EEPROM is locked.
Before any data can be written (programmed) to the EEPROM,
the EEPROM must be unlocked for write access. After it is
unlocked, the EEPROM is opened for reading, writing, and
erasing.
Unlock the EEPROM
To unlock the EEPROM, perform two consecutive writes
with the correct password (default = 0xFF) using the EEPROM_
PASSWORD command (Register 0x88). The EEPROM unlocked
flag (Bit 0 of Register 0x03) is set to indicate that the EEPROM
is unlocked for write access.
Lock the EEPROM
To lock the EEPROM, write any byte other than the correct password using the EEPROM_PASSWORD command (Register 0x88).
The EEPROM unlocked flag (Bit 0 of Register 0x03) is cleared
to indicate that the EEPROM is locked from write access.
Change the EEPROM Password
To ch ang e th e E E PR O M password, first write the correct password
using the EEPROM_PASSWORD command (Register 0x88).
Immediately write the new password using the same command.
The password is now changed to the new password.
DOWNLOADING EEPROM SETTINGS TO INTERNAL
REGISTERS
Download User Settings to Registers
The user settings are stored in Page 1 of the EEPROM main
block. These settings are downloaded from the EEPROM into
the registers under the following conditions:
•On power-up. The user settings are automatically down-
loaded into the internal registers, powering the part up in
a state previously saved by the user.
•On execution of the RESTORE_USER_ALL command
(Register 0x83). This command allows the user to force a
download of the user settings from Page 1 of the EEPROM
main block into the internal registers.
Note that the block write command can write a maximum
of 256 bytes for any single transaction (set the byte count = 0).
Download Factory Default Settings to Registers
The factory default settings are stored in Page 0 of the EEPROM
main block. The factory default settings can be downloaded from
the EEPROM into the internal registers using the RESTORE_
DEFAULT_ALL command (Register 0x81).
When this command is executed, the EEPROM password is also
reset to the factory default setting of 0xFF.
Rev. A | Page 42 of 96
Data Sheet ADP1046
SAVING REGISTER SETTINGS TO THE EEPROM
The register settings cannot be saved to the factory default settings located in Page 0 of the EEPROM main block. This is to
prevent the user from accidentally overriding the factory trim
settings and default register settings.
Save Register Settings to User Settings
The register settings can be saved to the user settings located in
Page 1 of the EEPROM main block using the STORE_USER_ALL
command (Register 0x82). Before this command can be executed,
the EEPROM must first be unlocked for writing (see the Unlock
the EEPROM section).
After the register settings are saved to the user settings, any
subsequent power cycle automatically downloads the latest
stored user information from the EEPROM into the internal
registers.
Note that execution of the STORE_USER_ALL command automatically performs a page erase to Page 1 of the EEPROM main
block, after which the register settings are stored in the EEPROM.
Therefore, it is important to wait at least 40 ms for the operation
to complete before executing the next I
2
C command.
EEPROM CRC CHECKSUM
As a simple method of checking that the values downloaded
from the EEPROM are consistent with the internal registers,
a CRC checksum is implemented.
•When the data from the internal registers is saved to the
EEPROM (Page 1 of the main block), the total number
of 1s from all the registers is counted and written into the
EEPROM as the last byte of information. This is called
the CRC checksum.
•When the data is downloaded from the EEPROM into the
internal registers, a similar counter that sums all 1s from
the values loaded into the registers is saved. This value is
compared with the CRC checksum from the previous
upload operation.
If the values match, the download operation was successful. If
the values differ, the EEPROM download operation failed, and
the EEPROM CRC fault flag is set (Bit 1 of Register 0x03).
To read the EEPROM CRC checksum value, execute the
EEPROM_CRC_CHKSUM command (Register 0x84).
This command returns the CRC checksum accumulated in
the counter during the download operation.
Note that the CRC checksum is an 8-bit cyclical accumulator
that wraps around to 0 when 255 is reached.

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.

RESONANT MODE OPERATION
The ADP1046 supports control of a resonant converter.
Resonant converters are an alternative to traditional fixed
frequency converters. They offer high switching frequency,
small size, and high efficiency. Figure 59 illustrates a widely
used series resonant converter.
SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION IN RESONANT
MODE
Control of the synchronous rectifiers in a resonant controller is
a complicated issue. The ADP1046 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 61.
Figure 59. Series Resonant Converter
RESONANT MODE ENABLE
To enable the ADP1046 to control a resonant switching converter, Register 0x40 must be set to a value of 0x3F. In resonant
mode, the PWM outputs have a fixed duty cycle with variable
frequency.
PWM TIMING IN RESONANT MODE
With variable frequency control, OUTA and OUTB can only be
high during the first half of the switching cycle (t
OUTC and OUTD can only be high during the second half of
the switching cycle (t
to tC), as shown in Figure 60. The

Rev. A | Page 87 of 96
Figure 61. SR1 and SR2 PWM Timing Diagram in Resonant Mode
Following is an example of how the ADP1046 can be used in a
series resonant topology and also achieve control of the synchronous rectifiers. The V
voltage of SR2 (see Figure 61) can be
DS
used to control the SR signals. The ACSNS pin is connected to
the divided-down SR2 V
voltage. This provides the timing
DS
information for both synchronous rectifiers (see Figure 62).
Figure 62. 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 61. 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
DS
voltage of SR2.
When the ADP1046 is used to control a resonant converter, it is
recommended that SR soft start be disabled during soft start of
the device (set Register 0x0F[7] = 1).
ADP1046 Data Sheet
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 information. The software GUI for the ADP1046 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 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 μs
The lowest switching frequency limit is
1/12.875 μs = 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 μs
The highest switching frequency limit is
1/1.325 μs = 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 ADP1046 is operated in
resonant mode, the switching frequency decreases when the
sensed voltage is lower than the reference voltage. This makes
the ADP1046 capable of controlling a resonant converter in
zero-voltage switching (ZVS) mode.
Although the switching frequency is variable, the high
frequency feedback voltage sampling frequency (VS3± pins)
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 ADP1046 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 ADP1046 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:
Threshold value for burst mode =
((Register 0x46 × 16) + Register 0x48[7:4]) +
(Register 0x4A[5:0] × 2)
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 μs
The highest switching frequency limit is
1/1.28 μs = 781 kHz
The threshold to enter burst mode is
[(16 × 16 + 0) + (8 × 2)] × 5 ns = 1.36 μs
When the desired switching frequency is higher than
1/1.36 μs = 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 μs
Therefore, when the desired switching frequency becomes lower
than 1/1.44 μs = 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.

This register contains the four LSBs of the 12-bit value of the highest switching frequency (minimum switching cycle) limit. This value is always used with the eight bits of Register 0x46, which
contain the eight MSBs of the highest switching frequency limit. Each LSB of the 12-bit value
corresponds to 5 ns of resolution for the switching cycle. For example, if 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 μs, and the highest switching frequency limit is
1/1.325 μs = 755 kHz.

[5:0] Burst mode offset R/W These bits, along with the highest switching frequency limit, determine the threshold value for
enabling burst mode operation. For information about how to set this value, see the Light Load
Operation (Burst Mode) section. During burst mode, the PWM frequency is the maximum
frequency limit set in Register 0x46.
