ADP1074
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP1074 is a current mode, fixed frequency, active clamp,
synchronous forward controller designed for isolated dc to dc
power supplies. Analog Devices proprietary iCouplers are
integrated in the ADP1074 to eliminate the bulky signal transformers and optocouplers that transmit signals over the isolation
boundary. Integrating the iCouplers reduces system design
complexity, cost, and component count and improves overall
system reliability. With the integrated isolators and MOSFET
drivers on both the primary and the secondary side, the ADP1074
offers a compact system level design and yields a higher efficiency
than a nonsynchronous forward converter at heavy loads.
Traditionally in a forward or flyback converter, a discrete optocoupler is used in the feedback path to transmit the signal from
the secondary to the primary side, and an external transformer
is used for transmitting the PWM signal from the primary to
the secondary side for synchronous rectification. However, the
current transfer ratio (CTR) of the optocouplers degrades over
time and over temperature and so the optocoupler must be
replaced every five to ten years, depending on the manufacturing
quality and optocoupler grade that determines the initial CTR. The
ADP1074 eliminates the use of optocouplers and signal
transformers, thus reducing system cost, PCB area, and
complexity while improving system reliability, without the
issue of CTR degradation of the optocouplers.
The ADP1074 controller offers a complete solution for an isolated
dc to dc power supply by integrating the 5 kV isolators and the
primary and secondary control circuitries in one package.
The PWM controls are performed on the primary side by
sensing the input peak current cycle by cycle with a sense resistor
at the source of the main switching MOSFET. The output of the
converter is sensed by the secondary circuitry, which sends the
feedback and PWM signals to the primary side via the 5 kV
integrated isolators for a complete control loop solution.
The primary circuitry in the ADP1074 includes an 8 V LDO,
input current sensing, bias circuit, and MOSFET drivers
including an active clamp reset driver, slope compensation,
external frequency synchronization, PWM generator, and a
programmable maximum duty cycle setting. The primary side
also has pins for differential sensing of the current sense signal.
The secondary circuitry includes the feedback compensation, a
5 V LDO regulator, an internal reference, two MOSFET drivers for
synchronous rectification, and a dedicated pin for overvoltage
protection. Additionally, the secondary side features differential
output voltage sensing and power good pins, and a programmable light load mode setting.
The integrated iCouplers carry out the communications
between the primary and secondary sides by transmitting the
feedback signal and the PWMs over the isolation barrier.
The feedback signal and timing of synchronous rectifier PWMs
are transmitted between the primary and the secondary sides,
or between the secondary and primary sides, through the
iCouplers using a proprietary transmission scheme.
The ADP1074 also offers features such as input current protection,
UVLO, precision enable with adjustable hysteresis, OTP, LLM,
and tracking.

PRIMARY SIDE SUPPLY, INPUT VOLTAGE, AND LDO
Two pins on the primary side are supply pins: VIN and
VREG1. A high voltage LDO regulator connected to VIN has a
regulated output of 8 V at the VREG1 pin. This LDO regulator
provides power to the internal bias circuitry, primary side
iCouplers and housekeeping circuits, and the primary
MOSFET drivers at the NGATE and PGATE pins.
To reduce power consumption in the LDO for input voltages
higher than approximately 30 V, an auxiliary winding on the
transformer of the active clamp forward topology can be used
to power VREG1. This auxiliary supply voltage must be higher
than the regulated output at VREG1 so that the LDO shuts off
during normal operation. The recommended auxiliary voltage
is ≥8.5 V and ≤13 V because an internal 14 V Zener diode is
connected at VREG1.
For a high input voltage application to avoid losses in the LDO,
connect the VIN and VREG1 pins together and apply an auxiliary
voltage of 8 V to 10 V, which exceeds the VIN pin UVLO of
typically 4.5 V. Take care that this voltage does not exceed the
internal Zener clamp voltage of 14 V (typical). The typical value
is 10 V.
hysteresis, use the superposition theorem or nodal analysis to
obtain the EN pin voltage, as follows:
VEN VIN
R2
I EN (R1 || R2 RH )
R1 R2
where:
VEN is the EN pin voltage.
IEN is the current source at the EN pin (1 μA for turn on and
4 μA for turn off).
The user can adjust the R1, R2, and RH resistors such that
VEN ≥ 1.2 V and obtain the desired hysteresis.
An internal 1 μA pull-down current is always on, and the 3 μA
current is active only when the VEN is below the EN threshold
and becomes inactive when VEN is above the EN threshold.
In general, a higher input voltage requires a larger hysteresis. It
is recommended to keep a capacitor on the EN pin to AGND1
to provide a low impedance path that prevents any noise, which
toggles the EN pin when the input voltage hovers at the threshold.

Two pins on the secondary side are supply pins: VDD2 and
VREG2.
R2
The secondary side is typically powered by the output rail of the
converter by connecting it to the VDD2 pin. The UVLO for the
secondary side is typically 3.5 V, at which the secondary side
starts up. For output voltages less than the secondary UVLO
voltage, a third winding is required to generate an auxiliary voltage
to power the secondary circuitry. The internal 5 V LDO regulator
at the VREG2 pin powers the MOSFET drivers, secondary side
iCouplers, and housekeeping circuits. When VDD2 is less than
5 V, the LDO regulator operates in dropout mode.
For output voltages higher than 24 V, connecting the output
voltage directly to VDD2 can result in significant power
dissipation in the LDO. For instance, at 24 V and with the total
driver current at 10 mA, the power dissipated in the LDO is
0.19 W (10 mA × 19 V). It is recommended to power VDD2
with an auxiliary voltage in the 8 V to 12 V range.
PRECISION ENABLE
The enable threshold at the EN pin is precision voltage referenced
at 1.2 V. Assuming VIN is above the UVLO voltage (typically
4.5 V), the ADP1074 is enabled when the voltage at EN rises above
1.2 V. The crossing of the voltage, such that VEN > 1.2 V,
enables the internal 8 V LDO regulator on the VREG1 pin, and,
after the internal biasing is finished, a soft start procedure is
initiated.
Connect a resistive divider between EN and VIN to set up the
input start-up voltage (see Figure 14.) An internal current source
at EN allows the user to program the UVLO start-up voltage with
a desirable hysteresis. To calculate the start-up voltage with

When the EN pin is less than the EN threshold, the system
enables the soft stop procedure. SR1 and SR2 take up to a
maximum of two switching periods to terminate. See the Soft
Start Procedure section for more details.
SOFT START PROCEDURE
The following procedure assumes that the VDD2 pin is powered
directly from the output voltage of the power supply.
To ensure a smooth output voltage ramp during startup, the
soft start sequence is controlled by two soft start control circuits,
one in the primary (for open-loop soft start, using the SS1 pin)
and the other in the secondary (for closed-loop soft start, using
the SS2 pin). Proper handshaking between the primary side and
the secondary side is needed prior to the secondary side taking
control.
The open-loop soft start time is determined by the capacitor on
the SS1 pin. This pin sources a 9.1 μA constant current that
builds up a voltage on the SS1 pin. The voltage on the SS1 pin is
proportional to the peak primary current limit where 0 V and
1.5 V correspond to a peak current of 0 A and 120 mV/RSENSE,
respectively. This rate is the open-loop soft start. During this
time, the ADP1074 starts firing the PWM pulses, and the
output voltage continues to build up slowly if the average
inductor current limit exceeds the load current. Because the
ADP1074 is a current mode controller, the output capacitor
Rev. D | Page 18 of 32
Data Sheet
ADP1074
starts charging only when the primary current limit exceeds the
load current requirement.
The rate at which the SS1 pin voltage rises to the maximum
current limit is given by
dt = CSS1 × 1.5/(9.1 μA)
The handshaking process is as follows.
When VDD2 reaches the UVLO of approximately 3.5 V, the
internal circuitry on the secondary side is activated and the
ADP1074 initiates the following process:
1.
2.
The ADP1074 makes the voltage on the SS2 pin equal to
the value on the FB pin, with an SS2 pin current, at ten
times the nominal current source of 20 μA on the SS2 pin.
Simultaneously, the current limit on the primary (which is
the voltage on SS1) is transferred over to the secondary
side, and the voltage on the COMP pin is made equal to
the instantaneous SS1 voltage ± 100 mV. There is a
timeout for this process, which is 1.5 ms after the VDD2
UVLO threshold is crossed.
When this process is satisfied, the transmission of the COMP
signal occurs from the secondary to the primary side. The
ADP1074 transmits the COMP signal by continuously sampling
the analog signal at the COMP pin. The sampled value is then
transmitted using a proprietary scheme to the primary side where
the instantaneous value of the CS pin is compared to the COMP
level to determine the falling edge of the NGATE pulse. The
COMP signal is, therefore, a representation of the primary
current limit.
After COMP transmission begins, the primary side receives the
signal and control is completely handed over to the secondary
side when either the received level of COMP on the primary side
is within ±100 mV, or up to 128 switching periods (typically 8)
have passed, starting from the first pulse being transmitted to
the primary side.
Then, the control is handed over to the secondary side and the
closed-loop soft start begins, where the SS2 capacitor is charged
at a nominal rate of 20 μA. The output voltage then rises to the
regulation voltage based on the SS2 pin voltage. The voltage on
the SS2 pin continues to rise to 1.2 V, that is, the steady state
voltage on the FB pin. At this stage, the power supply is in
regulation, and the output voltage is at its target value.
At the end of the soft start process, the voltage on the SS2 pin
continues to rise to approximately 1.4 V. The instant that the
handover takes place, SS1 is discharged to 0 V. In steady state,
the FB pin (that is, the reference voltage) is 1.2 V.
The SR1 and SR2 synchronous drivers begin to pulse after
VDD2 crosses the UVLO threshold.
If the voltage at the VDD2 pin is greater than the UVLO voltage,
such as a soft start from the precharged output, or if the VDD2 pin
is powered by an external supply, the secondary side assumes
control from the moment the EN pin is enabled, and only SS2 is
used for the soft start procedure.
When initiating a soft start from the precharged output, the SS2
pin tracks the FB pin and then initiates a soft start. This process
eliminates any glitches in the output voltage.
When soft starting into a precharged output, the SRx gates are
prevented from turning on until the SS2 voltage has reached
the precharged voltage at the FB pin. This soft start scheme
prevents the output from being discharged, and it prevents reverse
current.
Under abnormal situations, such as a shorted load or a
transient condition on the load during the soft start process, FB
may not be able to track SS2 accurately. If this occurs before the
VDD2 UVLO threshold is crossed, SS1 is in control. If it occurs
after the VDD2 UVLO threshold is crossed, SS2 tracks the FB
pin and then continues with the soft start process until the
regulation voltage is reached. In all conditions, control is
handed over to the secondary if FB ≥ 1.2 V.
When the secondary VDD2 is directly powered by the output
of the converter, the minimum output voltage required is
higher than the secondary UVLO voltage. For output voltages
less than the secondary UVLO voltage, a third winding is needed
to generate an auxiliary voltage to power the secondary side
circuitry. Alternately, in most cases, a diode resistor capacitor
combination from the switch node can provide the voltage to
VDD2.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE SENSING AND FEEDBACK
The output voltage of the converter is set by a resistive divider
to the FB pin. The resistive divider must be set in a manner
such that the voltage at the FB pin is 1.2 V in steady state. The
output voltage must be differentially sensed using the FB pin
and the AGND2 pin.
LOOP COMPENSATION AND STEADY STATE
OPERATION
The FB pin feeds into the negative terminal of a transconductance
amplifier (or gm amplifier) with a gain of approximately 250 μA/V.
The positive input terminal of the gm amplifier is connected to SS2,
which provides the reference setpoint voltage. The output of
the gm amplifier is connected to the COMP pin. The voltage on
the COMP pin is representative of the current peak limit
required to sustain regulation. This pin is continuously
sampled, and the signal is transmitted to the primary side,
where it is compared to the sensed primary current using a
comparator. When the comparator trips, it causes NGATE to
terminate.
Typically, an RC network in series is connected between the
COMP pin and AGND2 for compensation. A high frequency pole
in the form of a capacitor can also be added in parallel to the RC
network.
The output of the gm amplifier is clamped to a minimum and
maximum current of approximately −57 μA and +43 μA,
respectively.
Rev. D | Page 19 of 32
ADP1074
Data Sheet
The COMP node is clamped to a lower and higher level of
approximately 0.7 V and 2.52 V, respectively. This is
representative of the CS range from 0 mV to 120 mV.
SLOPE COMPENSATION
For a peak current mode controller with duty cycle higher than
50%, slope compensation is necessary for a stable operation. To
set up an external compensation in the ADP1074, connect the
external RRAMP resistor (see Figure 25) between CS and the current
sense resistor, RSENSE, to set up the slope voltage ramp for the
control signal. It is important to sense the signal differentially.
See the Layout Guidelines section for more details.
An internal ramp current starts from 0 μA at the minimum duty
cycle (that is, the beginning of the switching period) and increases
linearly toward a maximum of 20 μA at the end of the switching
period. The slope of the voltage ramp is the ramp current times
RRAMP. RRAMP is sized using the following equation:
RRAMP k
VOUT N2 RSENSE
tS
L
N1 20 μA
where:
k = 0.5 for nominal cases and k = 1 for deadbeat control.
VOUT is the desired output voltage.
L is the output inductor.
N1 and N2 are the primary and secondary turns of the
transformer.
tS is the switching period.
INPUT/OUTPUT CURRENT-LIMIT PROTECTION
There is no direct current-limit sensing circuit on the secondary;
the output current limit is indirectly limited by the cycle-by-cycle
primary side current limit of 120 mV on the CS pin.
The input peak current limit is set by connecting a sense
resistor, RSENSE, from the source of the main MOSFET to
PGND1 (see Figure 25), and the sensed voltage appears at the
CS pin. To generate the slope-comp ramp, insert the slope
compensation resistor, RRAMP, between CS and RSENSE.
the inaccuracy of the peak current limit. For instance, if the
added slope ramp voltage is 20% of the current-limit threshold,
the actual input peak current limit can be off by as much as
20% depending on where the peak current-limit threshold is
tripped during the on cycle. In the event of an output short
circuit, the controller treats this condition as an overcurrent
event and enters the 40 ms hiccup mode.
Under certain conditions, the ADP1074 exits OCP hiccup
mode. In these conditions, the COMP pin is at the maximum
clamp level, but the device does not enter hiccup mode.
However, it is guaranteed that the PWMs are terminated
whenever the CS maximum threshold is reached. The condition
under which the ADP1074 skips entering hiccup mode is when
VDD2 is powered through an auxiliary winding and an output
short circuit occurs that results in the FB pin having a voltage
that is 85°C), and can be exacerbated at higher
temperatures.
The root cause of the device exiting hiccup mode is due to the
effect that the OCP hiccup mode feature has on the SS2 pin.
During OCP recovery, the SS2 pin tracks the FB pin and attempts
a soft start from the precharge sequence. During the time when
SS2 tracks the FB pin, the SS2 pin voltage can be less than the
FB pin for a short interval, which causes the COMP pin (output
of the gm amplifier) to momentarily dip below the maximum
COMP pin clamp level. This event means that the current limit
required for the next few switching periods is less than the maximum threshold and puts the device out of hiccup mode because
the ADP1074 fails to register 1.25 ms worth of consecutive
overcurrent cycles.
The following scenarios guarantee OCP hiccup mode based on
the configuration of the VDD2 power supply:

The CS current limit, VCSLIM, is internally set to 120 mV. Calculate
the RSENSE value by

where:
VCSLIM is the CS current limit.
IPKPRI is the primary peak current.
When the sensed input peak current is above the CS limit
threshold, the controller operates in the cycle-by-cycle constant
current-limit mode for 1.5 ms. Then the controller immediately
shuts down the primary and secondary drivers. The controller
then goes into hiccup mode for the next 40 ms and restarts the
soft start sequence after this timeout period.
The slope ramp can affect the accuracy of the current-limit
threshold because the voltage drop across RRAMP contributes to
Rev. D | Page 20 of 32
When VDD2 is powered directly from the output voltage,
if a short circuit occurs on the output terminals of the load
after steady state regulation is achieved, the voltage of the
VDD2 pin is less than the UVLO, and the device enters
hiccup mode for 200 ms, similar to the hiccup time described
in the Remote System Reset section.
When VDD2 is powered through auxiliary winding or
another configuration, when a short circuit occurs on the
output terminals, the auxiliary winding is not shorted and
maintains a positive voltage above the UVLO threshold of
the VDD2 pin. To enter hiccup mode, it is recommended to
use the circuit shown in Figure 15. The circuit operates as
follows: when the output voltage goes low due to a short
circuit, the D1 diode turns on, which pulls the base of the
bipolar junction transistor low, shutting off VDD2. The
system then enters hiccup mode, as described in the
Remote System Reset section.

MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE
To prevent the transformer core from saturating in the event of
high current or extreme load transient and reduce voltage stress
on the MOSFETs, a maximum duty cycle clamp can be set by
connecting the DMAX pin to the center tap of the resistive
divider that is connected from RT to AGND1, as shown in
Figure 16.

TEMPERATURE SENSING
The ADP1074 has an internal temperature sensor that shuts
down the controller when the internal temperature exceeds the
OTP limit. At this time, the primary and secondary MOSFET
drivers (PGATE, NGATE, SR1, and SR2) are held low. When the
temperature drops below the OTP hysteresis level, the ADP1074
restarts with a soft start sequence.
FREQUENCY SETTING (RT PIN)
The switching frequency can be programmed in a range of
50 kHz to 600 kHz by connecting a resistor from RT to AGND1.
A small current flows out of the RT pin and the voltage across it
sets up the internal oscillator frequency. The value of this pin is
approximately 1.224 V in steady state. Use the following equation
to determine the resistor (in Ω) for a particular switching
frequency (in kHz):

where:
DMAX is 50% when RBOT is 0 Ω or when the DMAX pin is

DMAX is 75%. DMAX can reach 100% if RTOP is 0 or when RBOT
becomes open circuit.
RBOT is the bottom resistor of the divider.
RTOP is the top resistor of the divider.

R3 is sized to bias the Zener diode and R4 is sized such that
(VZENER – 1)/R4 > IZENER, where VZENER is the voltage of the
diode and IZENER is the biasing current of the diode. This
sizing ensures that the impedance of the resistor is less
than the impedance of the diode, which causes the voltage
of the diode to drop, and allows VDD2 to enter UVLO.
If the output voltage is (VFB + 100 mV), the COMP pin voltage increases
to the clamp level, and the system again enters OCP/feedback
recovery mode.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRACKING
The ADP1074 offers a tracking feature. During steady state, the
FB pin is at 1.2 V. At this time, the SS2 pin voltage is at 1.4 V.
Using an external DAC, the voltage on the SS2 pin can
modulate the output voltage. It is recommended that the SS2
pin voltage be changed only after the VDD2 UVLO point is
crossed, and control is handed over to the secondary side, or
else the handover process does not occur smoothly, resulting in
glitches in the output voltage. Ideally, the PGOOD pin can be
used as a signal that indicates that regulation is achieved, to initiate
the tracking.
The SS2 voltage must be brought down from 1.4 V to 1.2 V, and
it must be brought down even further to effect any change in the
output voltage. The rate at which the output tracks the SS2 pin is
dependent upon the overall system bandwidth. Note that while
modulating the output voltage, if the FB pin voltage drops
below (1.2 V − 100 mV = 1.1 V), the PGOOD pin toggles.
REMOTE SYSTEM RESET
For a remote (secondary side) system shutdown, an open-drain
general-purpose input/output (GPIO) of an external microcontroller can be used to force the SS2 pin to 0 V. This pull-down
causes the ADP1074 to regulate to 0 V, and the ADP1074
enters pulse skip mode or outputs a minimum duty cycle
because the SS2 pin offsets because of the finite resistance of the
GPIO.
When VDD2 is charged from the output bus, this setup is
equivalent to a system shutdown, because when VDD2 <
VDD2 UVLO, the ADP1074 enters a special hiccup mode of
200 ms (instead of the standard 40 ms hiccup).
When VDD2 is powered using auxiliary winding, the system
regulates to the voltage proportional to the voltage on the SS2 pin
and eventually enters the special hiccup mode previously
mentioned, after the auxiliary rail decays below the VDD2
UVLO threshold.
Therefore, the SS2 pin can achieve output tracking as well as a
secondary side shutdown, also known as remote system reset,
as shown in Figure 20.

Data Sheet
The values shown in Table 10 summarize the peak voltage for
50 years of service life for a bipolar ac operating condition. In
many cases, the approved working voltage is higher than the
50 year service life voltage. Operation at these high working
voltages can lead to shortened insulation life in some cases.

The ADP1074 insulation lifetime depends on the voltage waveform type imposed across the isolation barrier. The iCoupler
insulation structure degrades at different rates depending on
whether the waveform is bipolar ac, unipolar ac, or dc. Figure 22,
Figure 23, and Figure 24 show these different isolation voltage
waveforms.
Figure 21. Tracking with SS2 Pin
OCP COUNTER
During overload conditions, when the peak sensed currents
exceed the OCP threshold voltage of 120 mV on the CS pin, the
ADP1074 immediately terminates the remainder of the PWM
pulse. If the peak sense current continues to exceed the threshold
every switching period for 1.5 ms, the system enters hiccup mode,
by which it shuts down for approximately 40 ms and then soft
starts. During an exceeded overcurrent situation, such as a dead
short, it is likely that the programmed slope compensation is
not enough, and therefore, the system enters subharmonic
oscillation. If this is the case, the system cannot enter hiccup
mode because the OCP threshold is crossed every alternate
switching period, and the 1.5 ms hiccup counter resets.
A bipolar ac voltage environment is the worst case for the iCoupler
products, yet meets the 50 year operating lifetime recommended
by Analog Devices for maximum working voltage. In the case
of unipolar ac or dc voltage, the stress on the insulation is
significantly lower. The low stress allows operation at higher
working voltages while still achieving a 50 year service life. Treat
any cross insulation voltage waveform that does not conform to
Figure 23 or Figure 24 as a bipolar ac waveform, and limit its peak
voltage to the 50 year lifetime voltage value listed in Table 10.
Note that the voltage presented in Figure 23 is shown as sinusoidal
for illustration purposes only. It is meant to represent any voltage
waveform varying between 0 V and some limiting value. The
limiting value can be positive or negative, but the voltage
cannot cross 0 V.
To prevent this scenario, the ADP1074 latches the last known
state, whereby if an OCP condition registered as a 1 in one
switching period and as a 0 in the next switching period, it is
still counted as a 1. In this manner, the system can enter hiccup
mode even in subharmonic oscillation. Missing two OCP
thresholds consecutively resets the hiccup counter.

All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected
to voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of
insulation degradation is dependent upon the characteristics of
the voltage waveform applied across the insulation. In addition
to the testing performed by the regulatory agencies, Analog
Devices carries out an extensive set of evaluations to determine
the lifetime of the insulation structure within the ADP1074.
Analog Devices performs accelerated life testing using voltage
levels higher than the rated continuous working voltage. Acceleration factors for several operating conditions are determined.
These factors allow calculation of the time to failure at the actual
working voltage.
