SINGLE SUPPLY
Two independent and isolated circuits comprise the ADuM3070
evaluation board. The lower half of the board, shown in Figure 2,
is for a single power supply configuration (see the ADuM3070
data sheet for applications information about the ADuM3070 in
this configuration).
Figure 2. Single Supply Configuration
The single supply is configured as a 5 V secondary isolated
supply with a 5 V primary input supply, which can provide up
to 2.5 W of regulated, isolated power. It can be reconfigured for
a 3.3 V secondary isolated supply with a 5 V or 3.3 V primary
input supply (see the Other Input and Isolated Output Supply
Options section). Figure 9 shows the single supply schematic.
TERMINALS
The single supply has terminal blocks on Side 1 (the primary/
power supply input side) and Side 2 (the secondary/power supply
output side). A 4.3 mm isolation barrier separates Side 1 and
Side 2. Figure 3 shows these terminal locations.
Tabl e 1 summarizes the functions of the terminal connections.
They are described in detail in the Input Power Connections
and Output Power Connections sections.
V
supplies the voltage to the transformer primary and to the
DD1
ADuM3070 supply voltage, V
for additional information about the V
and V
are bypassed by a 47 µF ceramic capacitor (C1) and a
DDA
(see the ADuM3070 data sheet
DDA
pin function). V
DDA
DD1
0.1 µF local bypass capacitor (C2) located close to the ADuM3070.
R7, R8, C5, and C6 are provided for an optional and unpopulated
snubber, which can be used to reduce radiated emissions.
Power is transferred to Side 2 by a regulated push-pull converter
comprising the ADuM3070 (U1), an external transformer (T1
or T2), and other components (see the ADuM3070 data sheet
for an explanation of this circuit functionality).
Output Power Connections
An output load can be connected to P3 (labeled +5V/3.3V on the
silkscreen and not labeled on the schematic), which is the isolated, regulated 5 V output supply. Connect the return of the
load to P4, which is the Side 2 ground reference. P4 is labeled
GND ISO on the silkscreen and GND2 on the schematic. This
supply can provide up to 500 mA in the default 5 V primary
input supply, 5 V secondary isolated supply configuration.
Figure 5 through Figure 8 in this user guide show how the
power supply’s efficiency varies with load current, switching
frequency, and temperature.

Terminal Pin Label Description
P1 1 +5V IN Side 1 5 V primary input supply
P2 1 GND Side 1 ground reference
P3 1 +5V/3.3V Side 2 5 V secondary isolated supply
P4 1 GND ISO Side 2 ground reference
Care must be taken to avoid driving the V
output with an
DD2
external voltage because this can result in permanent damage to
the ADuM3070.
Figure 3. Single Supply Terminals
Input Power Connections
Connect 5 V to P1, labeled +5V IN (or +3.3 V for a
3.3 V primary input supply with a 3.3 V secondary isolated
supply). Connect the negative supply to P2, labeled GND
(GND1 on the schematic). These are the only off-board
connections required for the single supply to function.
TRANSFORMER SELECTION
The EVA L-ADuM3070EBZ supports multiple transformer
options. The single supply is equipped with a Halo TGSAD260V6LF (T1) or a Coilcraft JA4631-BL (T2) 1:2 turns ratio
transformer. The Coilcraft footprint is offset to the left of the
Halo footprint. Figure 5 and Figure 7 show the efficiency curves
for the single supply operating with a Coilcraft and a Halo
transformer, respectively.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY OPTIONS
The resistor connected from the ADuM3070 oscillator control
pin (OC) to ground sets the single supply switching frequency.
Figure 4 shows the relationship between this resistance and the
converter switching frequency. The EVA L-ADuM3070EBZ can
be configured with 0 Ω, 0805 resistors to four different preset
switching frequencies. Short-circuiting R10 sets R1 (300 kΩ)
and R2 (150 kΩ) in parallel, and short-circuiting R11 sets R1 and
R3 (100 kΩ) in parallel. Tabl e 2 lists the switching frequencies
that can be selected by short- or open-circuiting R10 and R11.

The user can select a different switching frequency by removing
R10 and R11 and then choosing R1 based on Figure 4. The
board is configured for the 500 kHz setting by default. Figure 5
and Figure 7 show how the switching frequency affects the
supply’s efficiency with either transformer installed. Figure 6
shows how the efficiency curve varies over temperature with a
500 kHz switching frequency.

OTHER INPUT AND ISOLATED OUTPUT SUPPLY OPTIONS
The single supply can be configured to have a 3.3 V secondary
isolated supply with a 3.3 V or 5 V primary input supply. Shortcircuiting R4 by soldering a 0 Ω, 0805 resistor to R9 sets the
output supply for 3.3 V. The voltage at the feedback node (the
FB pin of the ADuM3070) should be the desired output voltage
divided to approximately 1.25 V. Having R9 open-circuited sets
the secondary isolated supply to 5 V, and having it short-circuited
sets the supply to 3.3 V. See the ADuM3070 data sheet for more
details on setting the secondary isolated output supply voltage.
Figure 8 shows how the single supply efficiency curve changes
when it is reconfigured for either of these supply options.

DOUBLE SUPPLY
The second power supply implemented with the ADuM3070 on
this evaluation board is a double supply. This circuit, which is
shown in Figure 10, is located on the top half of the board. The
ADuM3070 data sheet also describes the ADuM3070 in this
configuration. Figure 17 shows the schematic.
Figure 10. Double Supply Configuration
In its default configuration, the double supply provides a regulated
15 V output and an unregulated 7.5 V output, which are isolated
from the 5 V primary input supply. The double supply is capable of delivering up to 140 mA to external loads. The isolated
data channels on Side 2 load the secondary isolated supply and
reduce the total available current. The double supply can be
reconfigured as 12 V (regulated) and 6 V (unregulated) secondary
isolated supplies or as positive and negative supplies. See the
Other Secondary Isolated Supply Configurations section for
more details.
Figure 11. Double Supply Terminals
TERMINALS
The double supply has terminal blocks on Side 1 (the primary/
power supply input side) and Side 2 (the secondary/power supply
output side). A 4.3 mm isolation barrier separates Side 1 and
Side 2. Figure 11 shows these terminals. Ta b l e 3 summarizes the
functions of the terminal connections. They are described in
detail in the Input Power Connections and Output Power
Connections sections.
Input Power Connections
Connect 5 V to P5, labeled +5V IN. Connect the supply
negative to P6, labeled GND (GND3 on the schematic). These
are the only off-board connections required for the double
supply to function.
V
supplies the voltage to the transformer primary and to the
DD2
ADuM3070 supply voltage, V
for additional information about the V
(see the ADuM3070 data sheet
DDA
pin function). V
DDA
DD2
and V
are bypassed by a 47 µF ceramic capacitor (C7) and a
DDA
0.1 µF local bypass capacitor (C8) located close to the ADuM3070.
R25, R31, C14, and C15 are provided for an optional and
unpopulated snubber, which can be used to reduce radiated
emissions.
Output Power Connections
Output loads can be connected to P7 and P9, labeled VISO1
and VISO2, respectively, in the schematic and +7.5V/6V and
+15/12V, respectively, on the silkscreen, which are the isolated,
unregulated 7.5 V and regulated 15 V output supplies. Connect
the return of the load to P8 and P10, which are labeled GND
ISO on the silkscreen and GND4 in the schematic.
Side 2 is powered by the secondary isolated 15 V supply. The
ADuM3070 internal low dropout regulator converts this voltage
to 5 V. The regulated 5 V supply powers the ADuM3070 secondary
side. Therefore, the ADuM3070 V
pin is 15 V and the V
REG
DD2
pin is 5 V. The 15 V supply connects to P9. The 7.5 V supply
connects to P7, which is labeled +7.5V/6V on the silkscreen and
VISO1 on the schematic. The Side 2 ground reference is tied to
P10. Note that the single and double supplies do not share
grounds, although they have the same names on the silkscreen.
The two supplies are isolated from each other with a greater than
15 mm gap. See the ADuM3070 data sheet for an explanation of
the double supply theory of operation. Figure 12 through Figure 15
show efficiency curves for the double supply with the +15/+12 V
isolated output supply connected to V
Powering V
V
can be powered by the unregulated 7.5 V supply, which
REG
from the Unregulated 7.5 V Supply

REG
.
results in higher efficiency. However, when the 15 V supply is
unloaded, the unregulated 7.5 V supply may drop to about 3 V,
which may not be high enough to power the ADuM3070
secondary side. This may cause the double supply to run open
loop, leaving the 15 V supply unregulated. Using 15 V for V
REG
ensures that the secondary side of the ADuM3471 powers up
under light load conditions. Move the 0 Ω, 0805 resistor from
R19 to R20 to power Side 2 from the 7.5 V supply.
Care must be taken to avoid driving the V
output because
DD2
this can result in permanent damage to the ADuM3070.

TRANSFORMER SELECTION
The EVA L-ADuM3070EBZ supports multiple transformer
options. The double supply is equipped with a Halo TGSAD290V6LF (T3) or a Coilcraft JA4650-BL (T4) 1:3 turns ratio
transformer. The Coilcraft footprint is directly to the left of the
Halo footprint (see the ADuM3070 data sheet for a details on
transformer selection with the ADuM3070). Figure 12 and
Figure 14 show the supply’s efficiency with a Coilcraft and a
Halo transformer, respectively, at different switching frequencies.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY OPTIONS
The resistor connected from the ADuM3070 OC pin to ground
sets the double supply switching frequency. Figure 4 shows the
relationship between this resistance and the converter switching
frequency. The EVA L -ADuM3070EBZ can be configured with
0 Ω, 0805 resistors to four different preset switching frequencies. Short-circuiting R26 sets R28 (300 kΩ) and R29 (150 kΩ)
in parallel, and short-circuiting R27 sets R28 and R30 (100 kΩ)
in parallel. Table 4 lists the switching frequencies that can be
selected by short- or open-circuiting R26 and R27. The user can
select a different switching frequency by removing R26 and R27
and then choosing R28 based on Figure 4. The board is configured for the 500 kHz setting by default. Figure 12 and Figure 14
show how the switching frequency affects the efficiency with
either transformer installed. Figure 13 shows how temperature
affects efficiency.

DOUBLE SUPP LY POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SUPPLY
10653-016
10653-017
OTHER SECONDARY ISOLATED SUPPLY CONFIGURATIONS
The double supply can be configured for 12 V regulated and 6 V
unregulated secondary isolated supplies by short-circuiting R17
with a 0 Ω resistor for R18. The regulated supply voltage is set
by the fraction of it that is fed back to the ADuM3070 via the
voltage divider comprising R16, R17, R32, and R18. The voltage
at the feedback pin is 1.25 V. Wi t h R 18 open-circuited, the
ADuM3070 feedback voltage is approximately 1.25 V if VISO2
is 15 V. When R18 is short-circuited, the feedback voltage is
approximately 1.25 V if VISO2 is 12 V (see the ADuM3070 data
sheet for more details on setting the secondary isolated output
supply voltage). Figure 15 shows the efficiency curves for both
output settings at 500 kHz with the 1:5 Coilcraft transformer.
Positive and Negative Outputs
The double supply can be set up as a positive and negative ±15 V
supply by changing the transformer to a turns ratio 1CT:5CT
transformer (see the ADuM3070 data sheet for more information
on these transformers). Other changes begin with removing the
0 Ω resistors from R24 and R22 and inserting them into R23 and
R21. Short-circuiting R23 instead of R24 makes the 7.5 V/6 V P7
become the −15 V supply. Short-circuiting R21 instead of R22
connects the transformer center tap to the ground plane instead
of the node where L3, C12, and C13 are connected. Figure 16
shows which resistors should be short-circuited and opencircuited for the double supply or positive and negative supply
configurations. Note that the negative supply is unregulated.
The positive and negative supplies can be set for ±12 V instead
of ±15 V by short-circuiting R18.
Whereas the 15 V output can be regulated, the same problems
with regulation can happen as described in the Powering V
REG
from the Unregulated 7.5 V Supply section. In addition, the
−15 V supply can vary over a wide range because it is unregulated
and influenced by the changes that happen on the 15 V output.
