GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1041A is a secondary-side and management IC spec-
ifically designed to minimize external component counts and to
eliminate the need for manual calibration or adjustment on the
secondary-side controller. The principle application of this IC is
to provide voltage control, current share, and housekeeping
functions for single output in N+1 server power supplies.
The ADM1041A is manufactured with a 5 V CMOS process
and combines digital and analog circuitry. An internal
EEPROM provides added flexibility for trimming timing and
voltage and selecting various functions. Programming is done
via an SMBus serial port that also allows communication
capability with a microprocessor or microcontroller.
The usual configuration using this IC is on a one-per-output
voltage rail. Output from the IC can be wire-ORed together or
bused in parallel and read by a microprocessor. A key feature on
this IC is support for an OrFET circuit when higher efficiency
or power density is required.
SAMPLE APPLICATION CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows a sample application circuit using the
ADM1041A. The primary side is not detailed and the focus is
on the secondary side of the power supply.
The ADM1041A controls the output voltage from the power
supply to the designed programmed value. This programmed
value is determined during power supply design and is digitally
adjusted via the serial interface. Digital adjustment of the
current sense and current limit is also calibrated via the serial
interface, as are all of the internal timing specifications.
The control loop consists of a number of elements, notably the
inputs to the loop and the output of the loop. The ADM1041A
takes the loop inputs and determines what, if any, adjustments
are needed to maintain a stable output. To maintain a stable
loop, the ADM1041A uses three main inputs:
Remote voltage sense
Load current sense
Current sharing information
In this example, a resistor divider senses the output current as a
voltage drop across a sense resistor (RS) and feeds a portion
into the ADM1041A. Remote local voltage sense is monitored
via VS+ and VS− pins. Finally, current sharing information is fed
back via the share bus. These three elements are summed
together to generate a control signal (VCMP), which closes the
loop via an optocoupler to the primary side PWM controller.
Another key feature of the ADM1041A is its control of an
OrFET. The OrFET causes lower power dissipation across the
OR'ing diode. The main function of the OrFET is to disconnect
the power supply from the load in the event of a fault occurring
during steady state operation, for example, if a filter capacitor or
rectifier fails and causes a short. This eliminates the risk of
bringing down the load voltage that is supplied by the redun-
dant configuration of other power supplies. In the case of a
short, a reverse voltage is generated across the OrFET. This
reverse voltage is detected by the ADM1041A and the OrFET is
shut down via the FG pin. This intervention prevents any
interruption on the power supply bus. The ADM1041A can
then be interrogated via the serial interface to determine why
the power supply has shut down.
This application circuit also demonstrates how temperature can
be monitored within a power supply. A thermistor is connected
between the VDD and MON2 pins. The thermistors voltage
varies with temperature. The MON2 input can be programmed
to trip a flag at a voltage corresponding to an overheating power
supply. The resulting action may be to turn on an additional
cooling fan to help regulate the temperature within the power
supply.

Differences Between the ADM1041A and ADM1041
For all new designs, it is recommended to use the ADM1041A.
The parts differ as follows:
The ADM1041 allows the internal VREF voltage reference to
be accessed at Pin 18. This is not accessible using the
ADM1041A.
The ADM1041A has longer VDDOK debounce and VDDOV
debounce than the ADM1041.
The GND_OK Disable bit (Register 11h) does not disable
when using the ADM1041. It does disable when using the
ADM1041A.

Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 VDD Positive Supply for the ADM1041A. Normal range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Absolute maximum rating is 6.5 V.
2 VLS/CS–/FS Inverting Differential Current Sense Input, Local Voltage Sense Pin, and OrFET Source. These three functions
are served by a common divider. The local voltage sense input is used for local overvoltage and undervoltage
sensing. This pin also provides an input to the false UV clamp that prevents shutdown during an external load
overvoltage condition. When supporting an OrFET circuit, this pin represents the FET source and is the
inverting input of a differential amplifier looking for the presence of a reverse voltage across the FET, which
might indicate a failure mode.
3 CS+ Noninverting Differential Current Sense Input. The differential sensitivity of CS+ and CS– is normally around 10
mV to 40 mV at the input to the ADM1041A. Nulling any external divider offset is achieved by injecting a
trimmable amount of current into either the inverting or noninverting input of the second stage of the
current sense amplifier. A compensation circuit is used to ensure the amount of current for zero-offset tracks
the common-mode voltage. Nulling of any amplifier offset is done in a similar manner except that it does not
track the common-mode voltage.
4 CCMP Current Error Amplifier Compensation. This pin is the output of the current limit transconductance error
amplifier. A series resistor and a capacitor to ground are required for loop compensation.
5 VCMP Voltage Error Amplifier Compensation. This is the output of a voltage error transconductance amplifier.
Compensate with a series capacitor and resistor to ground. An external emitter-follower or buffer is typically
used to drive an optocoupler. Output voltage positioning may be obtained by placing a second resistor
directly to ground. Refer to Analog Devices applications notes on voltage positioning.
6 FD A divider from the OrFET drain is connected here. A differential amplifier is then used to detect the presence
of a reverse voltage across the FET, which indicates a fault condition and causes the OrFET gate to be pulled
low.
7 GND Ground. This pin is double bonded for extra reliability. If the ground pin goes positive with respect to the
remote sense return (VS–) for a sustained period indicating that the negative remote sense line is
disconnected, PEN is disabled.
8 ICT Input for Current Transformer. The sensitivity of this pin is suitable for the typical 0.5 V to 1 V signal that is
normally available. If this function is enabled, the CS+ amplifier is disabled. This pin is also used for extended
SMBus addressing, that is, pulled below ground to allow additional SMBus addresses.
9 PULSE/ACSENSE1/
MON1
Pulse Present, AC/Bulk Sense 1, or Monitor 1 Input.
PULSE: This tells the OrFET circuit that the voltage from the power transformer is normal. A peak hold allows
the OrFET circuit to pass through the pulse skipping that occurs with very light loads, but turns off the circuit
about one second after the last pulse is recognized.
ACSENSE1: This sense function also uses the peak voltage on this pin to measure the bulk capacitor voltage. If
too low, AC_OK and DC_OK can warn of an imminent loss of power. Threshold level and hysteresis can be
trimmed. When not selected, ACSENSE1 defaults to true.
MON1: When MON1 is selected for this pin, its input is compared against a 1.25 V comparator that could be
used for monitoring a postregulated output; includes overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature
conditions.
ADM1041A
Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 56
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
10 ACSENSE2/MON2 AC/Bulk Sense Input 2 or Monitor 2 Input.
ACSENSE2: This alternative ACSENSE input can be used when the ACSENSE source must be different from that used
for the OrFET. It also allows dc and optocoupled signals that are not suitable for the OrFET control.
MON2: When MON2 is selected for this pin, its input is compared against a 1.25 V comparator that could be
used for monitoring a postregulated output; includes overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature
conditions.
11 CBD/ALERT
CBD: The crowbar drive pin allows implementation of a fast shutdown in case of a load overvoltage fault. The
pin can be configured as an open-drain N-channel or P-channel and is suitable for driving a sensitive gate SCR
crowbar. An external transistor is required if a high gate current is needed. Either polarity may be selected.
ALERT: This pin can be configured to provide an ALERT function in microprocessor-supported applications
where any of several ICs in a redundant system that detects a problem can interrupt and shut down the
power supply. An alternative use is as a general-purpose logic output signal.
12 PEN Power Enable. This pin can be configured as an open-drain N-channel or P-channel that typically drives the
PEN optocoupler. Providing that the PSON pin has been asserted to turn the output on, and that there are no
faults, this pin drives an optocoupler on enabling the primary PWM circuit. Either polarity may be selected.
13 SCL/AC_OKLink SCL: SMBus Serial Clock Input.
AC_OKLink: In nonmicroprocessor applications, this pin can be programmed to give the status of ACSENSE to all
the ICs on the same bus. The main effect is to turn on undervoltage blanking whenever the sense circuit
monitoring ac or bulk dc detects a low voltage.
14 SDA/PSONLINK SDA: SMBus Serial Data Input and Output.
PSONLINK: In non-microprocessor applications, this pin can be programmed to provide the PSON status to
other ICs. This allows just one IC to be the PSON interface to the host system, or the PSONLINK itself can be the
PSON interface.
15 ADD0 Chip Address Pin. There are three addresses possible using this pin, which are achieved by tying ADD0 to
ground, tying to VDD, or being left to float. One address bit is available via programming at the
device/daughter card level, so the total number of addressable ICs can be increased to six.
16 PSON/MON3 PSON: In nonmicroprocessor configurations, this is power supply on. As a standard I/O, this pin is rugged
enough for direct interface with a customer’s system. Either polarity may be selected.
MON3: When MON3 is selected for this pin, its input is compared against a 1.25 V comparator that could be
used for monitoring a postregulated output; includes overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature
conditions.
17 DC_OK/MON4 DC_OK: This pin is the output of a general-purpose digital I/O that can be configured as open-drain
N-channel or open-drain P-channel suitable for wire-OR'ing with other ICs and direct interfacing with a
customer’s system. Either polarity may be selected.
MON4: When MON4 is selected for this pin, its input is compared against a 1.25 V comparator that could be
used for overtemperature protection and for monitoring a postregulated output; includes overvoltage,
undervoltage, and overtemperature conditions.
18 AC_OK/OTP/
MON5
Buffered Output, Overtemperature Protection, or Monitor 5.
AC_OK: This option can be configured as N-channel or P-channel and as normal or inverted polarity. At
system level, a true AC_OK is used to indicate that the primary bulk voltage is high enough to support the
system and, when false, that dc output is about to fail.
MON5: A further option is to configure this as an analog input, MON5, with a flexible hysteresis and
trimmable 2.5 V reference. This makes the pin particularly suitable for overtemperature protection (OTP)
sensing. Since hysteresis uses a switched 100 μA current source, hysteresis can be adjusted via the source
impedance of the external circuit. It can also be used for OVP and UVP functions.
19 FG FET Gate Enable. When supporting an OrFET circuit, this is the gate drive pin. Because the open-drain voltage
on the chip is limited to VDD, an external level shifter is required to drive the higher gate voltages suitable for
the OrFET. This pin is configured as an open-drain N-channel. Either output polarity, low = on or low = off,
may be selected.
20 VS–/SHRS– This pin is used as the ground input reference for the current share and load voltage sense circuits. It should
be tied to ground at the common remote sense location. The input impedance is about 35 kΩ to ground.
21 VS+ This pin is the positive remote load voltage sense input and is normally divided down from the power supply
output voltage to 2.0 V at no-load using an external voltage divider. The input impedance is high.
22 SCMP Output of the Current Share Transconductance Error Amplifier. Compensation is a series capacitor and
resistor to ground. While VDD is normal and PEN is false, this pin is clamped to ground. When the converter is
enabled (PEN true) and the clamp is released, the compensation capacitor charges, providing a slow walk-in.
The error amplifier input has a built-in bias so that all slaves in a parallel supply system do not compete with
the master for control of the share bus.
ADM1041A
Rev. 0 | Page 16 of 56
Pin No. Mnemonic Description
23 SHRS+ Current Share Sense. This is the noninverting input of a differential sense amplifier looking at the voltage on
the share bus. For testing purposes, this pin is normally connected to SHRO. Calibration always expects this
pin to be at 2.0 V with respect to SHRS–/VS–. If a higher share voltage is required, a resistor divider from SHRO
or an additional gain stage, must be used.
24 SHRO Current Share Output. This output is capable of driving the share bus of several power supplies between 0 V
and VDD – 0.4 V (10 kΩ bus pull-down in each supply). Where a higher share bus voltage is required, an
external amplifier is necessary. The current share output from the supply, when bused with the share output
of other power supplies working in parallel, allows each of the supplies to contribute essentially equal
currents to the load.

TERMINOLOGY
Table 5.
Mnemonic Description
POR Power-On Reset. When VDD is initially applied to the ADM1041A, the POR function clears all latches and puts
the logic into a state that allows a clean start-up.
UVL Undervoltage Lockout. This is used on VDD to prevent spurious modes of operation that might occur if VDD
is below a specific voltage.
CVMode Constant Voltage Mode. This is the normal mode of operation of the power supply main output. The output
voltage remains constant over the whole range of current specified.
CCMode Constant Current Mode. This mode of operation occurs when the output is overloaded until or unless a
shutdown event is triggered. The output current control level remains constant down to 0 V.
UVP Undervoltage Protection. If the output being monitored is detected as going under voltage, the UVP function
sends a fault signal. After a delay, PEN goes false, the output is disabled, and either latch-off or an autorestart
occurs, depending on the mode selected. The DC_OK output also goes false immediately to show that the
output is out of tolerance.
OVP Overvoltage Protection. If the output being monitored is detected as going over voltage, the OVP function
latches and sends a fault signal, PEN goes false, and CBD goes true. The DC_OK output also goes false
immediately. OVP faults are always latching and require the cycling of PSON or VDD or SMBus command to
reset the latch.
OCP Overcurrent Protection. If the output being monitored is detected as going over current for a certain time,
the OCP function sends out a fault signal that triggers a shutdown that can be latched or allowed to
autorestart, depending on the mode selected. Prior to shutting down, the DC_OK output goes false warning
the system that output is going to be lost. The latch is the same one used for OVP. For autorestart, the OCP
timeout period is configurable.
OTP Overtemperature Protection. If the temperature being sensed is detected as going over the selected limit, the
OTP function sends out a fault signal that triggers a shutdown that can be latched or allowed to auto-restart
depending on the mode selected. Prior to shutting down, the DC_OK output goes false warning the system
that output is going to be lost. The latch is the same one used for OVP.
UVB Undervoltage Blanking. The UVP function is blanked (disabled) during power-up or if the ACSENSE function is
false (ac line voltage is low). When in constant current mode, UVB is disabled. The status of ACSENSE must be
known to the IC, either by virtue of the on-board ACSENSE or communicated by the SMBus with the help of
an external microprocessor or by using AC_OKLink. When in constant-current mode, due to an overload, UVB
is applied for the overcurrent ride-through period.
ADM1041A
Rev. 0 | Page 17 of 56
Mnemonic Description
DC_OK The DC_OK function advises the system on the status of the power supply. When it is false, the system is
assured of at least 1 ms of operation if ac power is lost for any reason. Other turn-off modes provide more
warning time. This pin is an open-drain output. It can be configured as a P-channel pull-up or an N-channel
pull-down. It may also be configured as positive or negative (inverted) logic.
AC_OK The AC_OK function advises the system whether or not sufficient bulk voltage is present to allow reliable
operation. The system may choose to shut down if this pin is false. The power supply normally tries to
maintain normal operation as long as possible, although DC_OK goes false when only a millisecond or so of
operation time is left. This pin is an open-drain output. It can be configured as a P-channel pull-up or an N-
channel pull-down. It may also be configured as positive or negative (inverted) logic.
DC_OK on delay The DC_OK output is kept false for typically 100 ms to 900 ms during power-up.
DC_OK off delay When the system is to be shut down in response to PSON going low, or in response to an OCP or OTP event, a
signal is first sent to the DC_OK output to go false as a warning that power is about to be lost. PEN is signaled
false typically 2 ms later (configurable).
Debounce Digital Noise
Filter
All of the inputs to the logic core are first debounced or digitally filtered to improve noise immunity. The
debounce period for OV events is in the order of 16 μs, for UV events it is 450 μs, and for PSON it is typically
80 ms (configurable).
ACSENSE1 A voltage from the secondary of the power transformer, which can provide an analog of the bulk supply, is
rectified and lightly filtered and measured by the ac sense function. At start-up, if this voltage is adequate,
this function signals the end-user system that it is okay to start. If a brown-out occurs or ac power is removed,
this function can provide early warning that power is about to be lost and allow the system to shut down in
an orderly manner. While ACSENSE is low, UVB is enabled, which means undervoltage protection is not
initiated. If ac power is so low that the converter cannot continue to operate, other protection circuits on the
primary side normally shut down the converter. When an adequate voltage level is resumed, a power-up
cycle is initiated.
Pulse OK As well as providing ACSENSE, the preceding connection to the transformer is used to gate the operation of
the OrFET circuit. If the output of the transformer is good, the OrFET circuit allows gate drive to the OrFET.
AC Hysteresis ACSENSE Hysteresis. Configurable voltage on the ACSENSE input allows the ACSENSE upper and lower
threshold to be adjusted to suit different amounts of low frequency ripple present on the bulk capacitor.
ACSENSE2 An alternate form of ac sense can be accepted by the ADM1041A. This may in the form of an opto-coupled
signal from the primary side where the actual level sensing might be done. As with the above, while ac is low
and UVB is disabled, AC_OK is false and DC_OK is true. Any brownout protection that might be required on
the primary is done on the primary side.
Soft-Start At start-up, the voltage reference to the voltage error amplifier is brought up slowly in approximately 127
steps to provide a controlled rate of rise of the output voltage.
VDD–OVP An OVP fault on the auxiliary supply to the ADM1041A causes a standard OVP operation (see the OVP
function in this table).
VDD–UVL A UVL fault on the auxiliary supply to the IC causes a standard UVP operation (see the UVP function in this
table).
Auto Restart Mode In this mode, the housekeeping circuit attempts to restart the supply after an undervoltage event at about 1
second intervals. No other fault can initiate auto-restart.
VREF–MON The internal precision reference is monitored by a separate reference for overvoltage and allows truly
redundant OVP. The externally available reference is also monitored for an undervoltage that would indicate
a short on the pin.
GND–MON The internal ground is constantly monitored against the VS- pin. If the chip ground goes positive with respect
to this pin, it indicates that the chip ground is open-circuit either inside the ADM1041A or the external wiring.
The ADM1041A would be latched off, similar to an OV event.

This block contains VDD undervoltage lockout circuitry and a
power-on/reset function. It also provides precision references
for internal use and a buffered reference voltage, VREF. Over-
loading, shorting to ground, or shorting to VDD do not effect
the internal references. See Figure 8.
During power-on, VREF does not come up until VDD exceeds the
upper UVL threshold. Housekeeping components in this block
include reference voltage monitors, a VDD overvoltage monitor,
and a ground fault detector.
The ground fault detector monitors ADM1041A ground with
respect to the remote sense pin VS−. If GND becomes positive
with respect to VS−, an on-chip signal, VDDOK, goes false.
VDDOK is true only when all the following conditions are met:
ground is negative with respect to VS−, INTREF and EXTREF
are operating normally, VDD > UVLHI, and VDD < VDD OVP
threshold.
GAIN TRIMMING AND CONFIGURATION
The various gain settings and configurations throughout the
ADM1041A are digitally set up via the SMBus after it has been
loaded onto its printed circuit board. There is no need for
external trim potentiometers. An initial adjustment process
should be carried out in a test system. Other adjustments such
as current sense and voltage calibration should be carried out in
the completed power supply.

DIFFERENTIAL REMOTE SENSE AMPLIFIER
This amplifier senses the load voltage and is the main voltage
feedback input. A differential input is used to compensate for
the voltage drop on the negative output cable of the power
supply. An external voltage divider should be designed to set the
VS+ pin to approximately 2.0 V with respect to VS–. The
amplifier gain is 1.0. See Figure 9.
SET LOAD VOLTAGE
The load voltage may be trimmed via the SMBus by a trim stage
at the output of the differential remote sense amplifier. The
voltage at the output of the trimmer is 1.50 V when the voltage
loop is closed. See Figure 9.
LOAD OVERVOLTAGE (OV)
A comparator at the output of the load voltage trim stage
detects load overvoltage. The load OV threshold can be
trimmed via the SMBus. The main purpose is to turn off the
OrFET when the load voltage rises to an intermediate over-
voltage level that is below the local OVP level. This circuit is
nonlatching. See Figure 9.
LOCAL VOLTAGE SENSE
This amplifier senses the output voltage of the power supply just
before the OrFET. Its input is derived from one of the pins used
for current sensing and is set to 2.0 V by an external voltage
divider. The amplifier gain is 1.3. See Figure 9.
LOCAL OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
This is the main overvoltage detection for the power supply. It is
detected locally so that only the faulty power supply shuts down
in the event of an OVP condition in an N + 1 redundant power
system. This occurs only after a load OV event. The local OVP
threshold may be trimmed via the SMBus. See Figure 9.
LOCAL UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (UVP)
This is the main undervoltage detection for the power supply. It
is also detected locally so that a faulty power supply can be
detected in an N+1 redundant power system. The local UVP
threshold may be trimmed via the SMBus. See Figure 9.
FALSE UV CLAMP
If a faulty power supply causes an OVP condition on the system
bus, the control loop in the good power supplies is driven to
zero output. Therefore, a clamp is required to prevent the good
power supplies from indicating an undervoltage, and to ensure
they must recover quickly after the faulty power supply has shut
down. The false UV clamp achieves this by clamping the output
voltage just above the local UVP threshold. It may be trimmed
via the SMBus. The OCPF signal disables the clamp during
overcurrent faults. See Figure 9.

VOLTAGE ERROR AMPLIFIER
This is a high gain transconductance amplifier that takes its
input from the load voltage trim stage described previously. The
amplifier requires only the output pin for loop compensation,
which typically consists of a series RC network-to-common. A
parallel resistor may be added to common to reduce the open-
loop gain and thereby provide some output voltage droop as
output current increases. The output of the amplifier is typically
connected to an emitter follower that drives an optocoupler,
which in turn controls the duty of the primary side PWM. The
emitter follower should have a high gain to minimize loading
effects on the amplifier. Alternatively, an op amp voltage
follower may be used. See Figure 11.
MAIN VOLTAGE REFERENCE
A 1.5 V reference is connected to the inverting input of the
voltage error amplifier. This 1.5 V reference is the output
voltage of the soft-start circuit. Under closed-loop conditions,
the voltage at the noninverting input is also controlled to 1.5 V.
During start-up, the output voltage should be ramped up in a
linear fashion at a rate that is independent of the load current.
This is achieved by digitally ramping up the reference voltage by
using a counter and a DAC. The ramp rate is configurable via
the SMBus. See Figure 13.
CURRENT-SENSE AMPLIFIER
This is a two-stage differential amplifier that achieves low offset
and accuracy. The amplifier has the option to be chopped to
reduce offset or left as a linear amplifier without chopping.
Refer to the Register Listing for more details. The amplifier’s
gain can be selected from three ranges. It is followed by a trim
stage and then by a low gain buffer stage that can be configured
with a gain of 1.0 or 2.1. The result is a total of six overlapping
gain ranges (65 to 230), one of which must be selected via the
SMBus. This gives ample adjustment to compensate for the
poor initial tolerance of the resistance wires typically used for
current sensing. It also allows selecting a higher sensitivity for
better efficiency or a lower sensitivity for better accuracy (lower
offset). The amplifier offset voltage is trimmed to zero in a
once-off operation via the SMBus and uses a voltage-controlled
current source at the output of the first gain stage. A second
controlled current source is used to trim out the additional
offset due to the mismatch of the external divider resistors. This
offset trim is dynamically adjusted according to the common-
mode voltage present at the top of the voltage dividers. Six
ranges are selectable according to the magnitude and polarity of
this offset component. Because the offset compensation circuit
itself has some inaccuracies, the best overall current-sense
accuracy is obtained by using more closely matched external
dividers and then selecting a low compensation range. See
Figure 13.
ADM1041A
Rev. 0 | Page 21 of 56
CURRENT SENSING
Current is typically sensed by a low value resistor in series with
the positive output of the power supply, positioned just before
the OrFET or diode. For high voltages (12 V and higher), this
resistor is usually placed in the negative load. A pair of closely
matched voltage dividers connected to Pins 2 and 3 divide the
common-mode voltage down to approximately 2.0 V. The
divider ratio must be the same as used in the local and remote
voltage-sense circuits. Alternatively, current may be sensed by a
current transformer (CT) connected to Pin 8. The ADM1041A
must be configured via the SMBus to select one or the other.
See Figure 13.
CURRENT-TRANSFORMER INPUT
The ADM1041A can also be configured to sense current by
using a CT connected to Pin 8. In this case, the resistive current
sense is disabled. A separate single-ended amplifier has two
possible sensitivities that are selected via the SMBus. If the CT
option is selected, the gain of the 1.0, 2.1 buffer that follows the
gain trim stage is no longer configurable and is fixed at 1.0.
The share driver amplifier has a total of 100 mV positive offset
built into it. To use the device in CT mode, it is necessary to
compensate for this additional 100 mV offset. This is achieved
by adding in a positive offset on the CT input. This also allows
any negative amplifier offsets in the CT chain to be nulled out.
This offset cancellation is achieved by sourcing a current
through a resistance on the ICT pin. The resistor value is 40 kΩ
and so for 100 mV of offset cancellation a current of 2.5 μA is
required. It is possible to fine trim this current via Register 15h,
Bits 4–0, step size 170 nA. For example, 2.5 μA ≈ 15 × 170 nA;
so the code for Register 15h is decimal 15 or 0Fh. Refer to the
Current Transformer parameter in the Specifications table for
more details. See Figure 13.
CURRENT-SENSE CALIBRATION
Regardless of which means is used to sense the current, the end
result of the calibration process should produce the standard
current share signal between Pins 20 and 23, that is, 2.0 V at
100% load, excluding any additional share signal offset that
might be configured.
CURRENT-LIMIT ERROR AMPLIFIER
This is a low gain transconductance amplifier that takes its
input from one of the calibrated current stages described
previously. The amplifier requires only the output pin for loop
compensation, which typically consists of a series RC network-
to-common. A trimmable reference provides a wide range of
adjustment for the current limit. When the current signal
reaches the reference voltage, the output of the error amplifier
comes out of saturation and begins to drive a controlled current
source. The control threshold is nominally 1.0 V. This current
flows through a resistor in series with the trimmed voltage loop
signal and thereby attempts to increase the voltage signal above
the 1.5 V reference for that loop. The closed voltage loop reacts
by reducing the power supply’s output voltage and this results in
constant current operation. See Figure 13.

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
When the current limit threshold is reached, the OCP com-
parator detects when the current error amplifier comes out of
saturation. Its threshold is nominally 0.5 V. This starts a timer
that, when it times out, causes an OCP condition to occur and
the power supply to shut down. If the current limit disappears
before the time has expired, the timer is reset. The time period
is configurable via the SMBus. Undervoltage blanking is applied
during the timer operation. See Figure 15.
CURRENT SHARE
The current-share method is the master–slave type, which
means that the power supply with the highest output current
automatically becomes the master and controls the share bus
signal. All other power supplies become slaves, and the share
bus signal causes them to increase their output voltages slightly
until their output currents are almost equal to that of the
master. This scheme has two major advantages. A failed master
power supply simply allows one of the slaves to become the new
master. A short-circuited share signal disables current sharing,
but all power supplies default to their normal voltage setting,
allowing a certain degree of passive sharing. Because this chip
uses a low voltage process, an external bidirectional amplifier is
needed for most existing share bus signal levels. The voltage
between Pins 20 and 23 is always controlled to 2.0 V full scale,
ignoring any offset. By connecting Pins 20 and 23 together, the
chip can produce a 2.0 V share signal directly without any
external circuits. To improve accuracy, the share signal is
referenced to the remote voltage sense negative (VS-) pin.

CURRENT-SHARE OFFSET
To satisfy some customer specifications, the current-share
signal can be offset by a fixed amount by using a trimmable
current generator and a series resistor. The offset is added
on top of the 2.0 V full-scale, current-share output signal.
See Figure 15.
ISHARE DRIVE AMPLIFIER
This amplifier is a buffer with enough current source capability
to drive the current-share circuits of several slave power
supplies. It has negligible current sink capability. Refer to the
Differential Sense Amplifier section.
DIFFERENTIAL SENSE AMPLIFIER
This amplifier has unity gain and senses the difference between
the share bus voltage and the remote voltage sense negative pin.
When the power supply is the master, it forms a closed loop
with the ISHARE drive amplifier described previously, and
therefore it causes the share bus voltage between Pins 20 and 23
to equal the current-share signal at the noninverting input of
the ISHARE drive amplifier. When the power supply is a slave, the
output of the differential-sense amplifier exceeds the internal
current share signal, which causes the ISHARE drive amplifier to
be driven into cutoff. Because it is not possible to trim out
negative offsets in the op amps in the current-share chain, a
50 mV voltage source is used to provide a known fixed positive
offset. The share bus offset controlled current source must be
trimmed via the SMBus to take out the resulting overall offset.
See Figure 15.
ISHARE ERROR AMPLIFIER
This is a low gain transconductance amplifier that measures the
difference between the internal current share voltage and the
signal voltage on the external share bus. If two power supplies
have almost identical current-share signals, a 50 mV voltage
source on the inverting input helps arbitrate which power
supply becomes the master and prevents hunting between
master and slave roles. The amplifier requires only the output
pin for loop compensation, which typically consists of a series
RC network to common. When the power supply is a slave, the
output of the error amplifier comes out of saturation and begins
to drive a controlled current sink. The control threshold is
nominally 1.0 V. This current flows from a resistor in series
with the trimmed voltage loop signal and thereby attempts to
decrease the voltage signal below the 1.5 V reference for that
loop. The closed voltage loop reacts by increasing the power
supply’s output voltage until current share is achieved. The
maximum current sink is limited so that the power supply
voltage can be increased only a small amount, which is usually
limited to be within the customer’s specified voltage regulation
limit. This small voltage increase also limits the control range of
the current-share circuit and is called the capture range. The
capture range may be set via the SMBus to one of four values,
from 1% to 4% nominal. See Figure 15.
ISHARE CLAMP
This clamp keeps the current share-loop compensation
capacitor discharged when the current share is not required to
operate. The clamp is released during power-up when the
voltage reference and therefore the output voltage of the power
supply has risen to either 75% or 88% of its final value. This is
configurable via the SMBus. When the clamp is released, the
current share loop slowly walks in the current share and helps
to avoid output voltage spikes during hot swapping. See
Figure 15.

SHARE_OK DETECTOR
Incorrect current sharing is a useful early indicator that there is
some sort of noncatastrophic problem with one of the power
supplies in a parallel system. Two comparators are used to
detect an excessive positive or negative error voltage at the input
of the ISHARE error amplifier, which indicates that the current
share loop has lost control. One of four possible error levels
must be configured via the SMBus. See Figure 15.

PULSE/ACSENSE2
When configured, PULSE and ACSENSE monitor the output of
the power main transformer. See Figure 16.
PULSE
Providing the output of the pulse function (PULSE_OK) is
high, the FET in the OR’ing circuit can be turned on. If the
pulses stop for any reason, about 1 second later the PULSE_OK
goes low and the OrFET drive is disabled. This delay allows
passage of all expected pulse skipping modes that might occur
in no load or very light load situations. See Figure 16.
ACSENSE
This is rarely used to measure the ac input to the supply
directly. ACSENSE1 or ACSENSE2 are usually used to measure,
indirectly, the voltage across the bulk capacitor so that the
system can be signaled that power is normal. Also if power is
actually lost, ACSENSE represents when just enough energy is left
for an orderly shutdown of the power supply. See Figure 16.
The ac sense function monitors the amplitude of the incoming
pulse and, if sufficiently high, generates a flag to indicate that
the ac, or strictly speaking, the voltage on the bulk capacitor, is
okay. Because the envelope of the pulse has a considerable
amount of 100 Hz ripple, hysteresis is available on this input
pin. Internally there is a 20 μA to 80 μA current sink. With a
909R external Thevenin resistance, this current range translates
to a voltage hysteresis of 200 mV to 500 mV. The internal
hysteresis current is turned off when the voltage exceeds the
reference on the comparator. This form of hysteresis allows
simple scaling to be implemented by changing the source
impedance of the pulse-conditioning circuit. Some trimming
of hysteresis and threshold voltage is provided. The ac sense
function can be configured to be derived from ACSENSE2 rather
than ACSENSE1. This allows a separate dc input from various
locations to be used to generate AC_OK for better flexibility
or accuracy.

OrFET GATE DRIVE
When configured, this block provides a signal to turn on/off
an OrFET used in the output of paralleled power supplies. The
gate drive voltage of one of these FETs is typically 6 V to 10 V
above the output voltage. Because the output voltage of the
ADM1041A is limited, an external transistor needs to be used.
The block diagram shows an example of this approach.
See Figure 21.
The FG output is an open-drain, N-channel MOSFET and is
normally high, which holds the OrFET off. When all the start-
up conditions are correct, Pin 19 is pulled low, which allows the
OrFET to turn on. The logic can also be configured as inverted
if a noninverting drive circuit is used.
A differential amplifier monitors the voltage across the OrFET
and has two major functions. First, during start-up, it allows the
OrFET to turn on with almost 0 V across it to avoid voltage
glitches on the bus. This applies to a hot bus or a cold bus. The
internal threshold can be configured from 20 mV to 50 mV
(negative), which is scaled up by the external voltage dividers.
Second, if a rectifier or filter capacitor fails during steady state
operation, it detects the resulting reverse voltage across the
OrFET’s on-resistance and turns off the OrFET before a voltage
dip appears on the bus. The internal threshold can be
configured from 100 mV to 250 mV (negative), which is also
scaled up by the external voltage dividers. A slightly larger filter
capacitor may be used on the voltage divider at Pin 6 to speed
up this function.
Figure 17 shows the typical response time of the ADM1041A to
such an event. In the plot, VFD is ramped down and the response
time of the FG pin to a reverse voltage event on the FD pin is
seen. This simulates the rectifier or filter capacitor failure
during steady-state operation. When the FD voltage is below
1.9 V (2 V minus 100 mV threshold), the FG pin reacts. As can
be seen, the response time is approx 330 nsecs. This extremely
fast turn-off is vital in an n+1 power supply system
configuration. It ensures that the damaged power supply
removes itself from the system quickly. Figure 18 shows the
equivalent response time to turn on the OrFET. As can be seen,
there is a delay of approximately 500 ns before the FG pin
ramps down to turn on the OrFET, allowing the power supply
to contribute to the system. This propagation delay is due
mainly to internal amplifier response limitations. The circuit in
Figure 21 is used to generate these plots. In this case, the
resistor to VDD from the FG pin is 2 kΩ.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the OrFET turn-off time and
turn-on time when the FG pin polarity is inverted. As can be
seen, to turn off the OrFET, the VFG pin now transitions from
high to low. Also, its corresponding turn-on event occurs from
a low-to-high transition. The circuit in Figure 21 is used to
generate these plots.

OSCILLATOR AND TIMING GENERATORS
An on-board oscillator is used to generate timing signals. Some
trimming of the oscillator is provided to adjust for variations in
processing.
All timing generated from the oscillator is expected to meet the
same tolerances as the oscillator. Because individual delay
counters are generally two to three bits, the worst error is one
clock period into these counters, which is 25% of the nominal
delay period. None of these tolerances are extremely critical.
LOGIC I/O AND MONITOR PINS
Apart from pins required for the various key analog functions, a
number of pins are used for logic level I/O signals. If the logic
I/O function is not required, the pins may be reconfigured as
general-purpose comparators for analog level monitoring
(MON) and may be additionally configured to have typical
OVP and UVP properties, either positive-going or negative-
going, depending on whether a positive supply output or a
negative supply output is being monitored. The status of all
protection and monitoring comparators is held in registers that
can be read by a microprocessor via the SMBus. Certain control
bits may be written to via the SMBus.
CBD/ALERT
This pin can be used either as a crowbar driver or as an SMBus
alert signal to indicate that a fault has occurred. It is typically
configured to respond to a variety of status flags, as detailed in
Registers 1Ah and 1Bh. The primary function of this pin is as a
crowbar driver, and as such it should be configured to respond
to the OV fault status flag. It can be configured to respond to
any or all of a variety of fault status flags, including a micro-
processor writable flag, and can be configured as latching or
nonlatching. It may also be configured as an open-drain
N-channel or P-channel MOSFET and as positive or negative
(inverted) logic. A pull-up or pull-down resistor is required.
This pin may be wire-ORed with the same pin on other
ADM1041As in the power supply.
The alternative function is an SMBus alert output that can be
used as an interrupt to a microprocessor. If a fault occurs, the
microprocessor can then query the ADM1041A(s) about the
fault status. This is intended to avoid continuously polling the
ADM1041A(s).
Routinely, the microprocessor needs to gather other data
from the ADM1041A(s), which can include the fault status,
so the ALERT function may not be used. Also, the simplest
microprocessors may not have an interrupt function. This
allows the CBD/ALERT pin to be used for other functions.
MON1
This is the alternative analog comparator function for the
Pulse/ACSENSE1 pin (Pin 9). The threshold is 1.25 V. When
MON1 is selected, ACSENSE1 defaults to true.
MON2
This is the alternative analog comparator function for the
ACSENSE2 pin (Pin 10). The threshold is 1.25 V. When MON2 is
selected, ACSENSE2 defaults to true.
PEN
This is the power enable pin that turns the PWM converter on
and can be configured as active high or low. This might drive an
opto-isolator back to the primary side or connect to the enable
pin of a secondary-side post regulator.
PSON
This pin is usually connected to the customer’s PSON signal
and, when asserted, causes the ADM1041A to turn on the
power output. It can be configured as active high or low.
Alternatively, a microprocessor can communicate the PSON
function to the ADM1041A using the SMBus, or the PSONLINK
signal may be used. When the PSON pin is not used as such, it
can be configured as an analog input, MON3.
MON3
This is the alternative analog comparator function for the PSON
pin (Pin 16). The threshold is 1.25 V. When MON3 is selected,
PSON defaults to off.
DC_OK (POWER-OK, POWER Good, Etc.)
This output is true when all dc output voltages are within
tolerance and goes false to signify an imminent loss of power.
(Timing is programmable, see the register description). It
can be configured as an open-drain, N-channel or P-channel
MOSFET and as positive or negative (inverted) logic. A pull-up
or pull-down resistor is required. This pin may be wire-ORed
with the same pin on other ADM1041As in the power supply.
When the DC_OK pin is not used as such, it can be configured
as an analog input, MON4.
MON4
This is the alternative analog comparator function for the
DC_OK pin (Pin 17). The threshold is 1.25 V.

AC_OK
This output is true when either ACSENSE1 or ACSENSE2 is true
(configurable). It can be configured as an open-drain,
N-channel or P-channel MOSFET and as positive or negative
(inverted) logic. A pull-up or pull-down resistor is required.
This pin can be wire-ORed with the same pin on other
ADM1041As in the power supply. When the AC_OK pin is not
used as such, it can be configured as an analog input, MON5, or
as a voltage reference.
MON5
This is the alternative analog comparator function for the
AC_OK pin (Pin 18). The threshold is 2.5 V, and it has a
100 μA current source that allows hysteresis to be controlled by
adjusting the external source resistance. It is ideal for an OTP
sensing circuit using a thermistor as part of a voltage divider.
The OTP condition can be configured to latch off the power
supply (similar to OVP) or to allow an autorestart (soft OTP).
See Figure 22.
In Figure 22, MON2 and MON3 are configured to monitor a
negative 12 V rail. MON2 is configured as negative-going OVP,
and MON3 is configured as positive-going UVP. The 5 V power
rail is used for bias voltage.

ADM1041A
Rev. 0 | Page 30 of 56
SMBus SERIAL PORT
The programming and microprocessor interface for the
ADM1041A is a standard SMBus serial port, which consists of a
clock line and a data line. The more rigorous requirements of
the SMBus standard are specified in order to give the greatest
noise immunity. The ADM1041A operates in slave mode only.
If a microprocessor is not used, these pins can be configured to
perform the PSONLINK and AC_OKLink functions. Note that
this port is not intended to be connected to the customer’s
SMBus (or I2C bus). Continuous SMBus activity or an external
bus fault interferes with the interpart communication, possibly
preventing proper operation and proper fault reporting. If the
customer needs status and control functions via the SMBus, it is
recommended that a microprocessor with a hardware SMBus
(I2C) port be used for this interface. The microprocessor should
access the ADM1041As via a second SMBus port, which may be
emulated in software (subset of the full protocol).
MICROPROCESSOR SUPPORT
The ADM1041A has many features that allow it to operate with
the aid of a microprocessor. There are several reasons why a
microprocessor might be used:
To provide unusual logic and/or timing requirements,
particularly for fault conditions.
To drive one or more LEDs, including flashing, according
to the status of the power supply.
To replace other discrete circuits such as multiple OTP,
extra output monitoring, fan speed control, and failure
detection, and combine the status of these circuits with the
status of the ADM1041As.
To free up some pins on the ADM1041As. This could
reduce the BOM and therefore the cost.
To interface to an external SMBus (or I2C) for more
detailed status reporting. The SMBus port in the
ADM1041A is not intended for this purpose.
To allow EEPROM space in ADM1041A(s) or in the
microprocessor to be used for FRU (VPD) data. A simple
or complex microprocessor can be used according to the
amount of additional functionality required. Note that the
microprocessor is not intended to access or modify the
EEPROM address space that is used for the configuration
of the ADM1041A(s).
Interfacing
The microprocessor must access the ADM1041A(s) via their
on-board SMBus (I2C) port. Because this port is also used to
configure the ADM1041A(s), the software must include a
routine that avoids SMBus activity during configuration. The
simplest interface is for the microprocessor to have an SMBus
(I2C) port implemented in hardware, but this may be more
expensive. An alternative is to emulate the bus in software and
to use two general-purpose logic I/O pins. Only a simple subset
of the SMBus protocol need be emulated because the
ADM1041A always operates as a slave device.
Configuring for a Microprocessor
Except during initial configuration, all ADM1041A registers
that need to be accessed are high speed CMOS devices that do
not involve EEPROM. Table 43, the Microprocessor Support
table describes the various registers, bits, and flags that can be
read and written to.
Note that for the microprocessor to gain control of the PSON
and ACSENSE functions, Reg12h (Table 27) must be configured.
A separate configuration bit is allocated to each signal. The
microprocessor can then write to the signal as though the
signal originated within the ADM1041A itself.
BROADCASTING
In a power supply with multiple outputs, it is recommended
that all outputs rise together. Because the SMBus is relatively
slow, writing sequentially to the PSON signal in each
ADM1041A, for instance, causes a significant delay in the
output rise of the last chip to be written. The ADM1041A
avoids this problem by allocating a common broadcast address
that all chips can respond to. To avoid data collisions, this
feature should be used only for commands that do not initiate a
reply.
SMBus SERIAL INTERFACE
Control of the ADM1041A is carried out via the SMBus. The
ADM1041A is connected to this bus as a slave device under the
control of a master device.
The ADM1041A has a 7-bit serial bus slave address. When the
device is powered up, it does so with a default serial bus
address. The default power-on SMBus address for the device is
1010XXX binary, the three lowest address bits (A2 to A0) being
defined by the state of the address pin, ADD0, and Bit 1 of
Configuration Register 4 (ADD1). Because ADD0 has three
possible states (tied to VDD, tied to GND, or floating) and
Config4 < 1 > can be high or low, there are a total of six possible
addresses, as shown in Tabl e 6.
ADM1041A

GENERAL SMBus TIMING
The SMBus specification defines specific conditions for
different types of read and write operations. General SMBus
read and write operations are shown in the timing diagrams of
Figure 25, Figure 26, and Figure 27, and described in the
following sections.
The general SMBus protocol operates as follows.
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
condition, defined as a high-to-low transition on the serial data
line, SDA, while the serial clock line, SCL, remains high. This
indicates that a data stream follows. All slave peripherals
connected to the serial bus respond to the start condition and
shift in the next 8 bits, consisting of a 7-bit slave address (MSB
first), plus an R/W bit, which determines the direction of the
data transfer, that is, whether data is written to or read from the
slave device (0 = write, 1 = read).
The peripheral whose address corresponds to the transmitted
address responds by pulling the data line low during the low
period before the ninth clock pulse, known as the Acknowledge
bit, and holding it low during the high period of this clock
pulse. All other devices on the bus remain idle while the
selected device waits for data to be read from or written to it. If
the R/W bit is a 0, then the master writes to the slave device. If
the R/W bit is a 1, the master reads from the slave device.
Data is sent over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
pulses, eight bits of data, followed by an Acknowledge bit from
the slave device. Data transitions on the data line must occur
during the low period of the clock signal and remain stable
during the high period, because a low-to-high transition when
the clock is high may be interpreted as a stop signal.
If the operation is a write operation, the first data byte after the
slave address is a command byte. This tells the slave device what
to expect next. It may be an instruction, such as telling the slave
device to expect a block write, or it may be a register address
that tells the slave where subsequent data is to be written.
Because data can flow in only one direction as defined by the
R/W bit, it is not possible to send a command to a slave device
during a read operation. Before doing a read operation, it might
first be necessary to perform a write operation to tell the slave
what sort of read operation to expect and/or the address from
which data is to be read.
When all data bytes have been read or written, stop conditions
are established. In write mode, the master pulls the SDA line
high during the tenth clock pulse to assert a stop condition. In
read mode, the master device releases the SDA line during the
low period before the ninth clock pulse, but the slave device
does not pull it low. This is known as No Acknowledge. The
master then takes the data line low during the low period before
the tenth clock pulse, then high during the tenth clock pulse to
assert a stop condition.
Note: If it is required to perform several read or write
operations in succession, the master can send a repeat start
condition instead of a stop condition to begin a new operation.

SMBus PROTOCOLS FOR RAM AND EEPROM
The ADM1041A contains volatile registers (RAM) and
nonvolatile EEPROM. RAM occupies the address locations
from 00h to 7Fh, while EEPROM occupies the address locations
from 8000h to 813Fh.
The SMBus specification defines several protocols for different
types of read and write operations. The protocols used in the
ADM1041A are described and illustrated in this section. The
following abbreviations are used in the diagrams:
S Start
P Stop
R Read
W Write
A Acknowledge
A No Acknowledge
The ADM1041A uses the following SMBus write protocols.
SMBus Erase EEPROM Page Operations
EEPROM memory can be written to only if it is effectively
unprogrammed. Before writing to one or more locations that
are already programmed, the page containing those locations
must be erased. EEPROM ERASE is performed by sending a
page erase command byte (A2h) followed by the page location
of the item to be erased. (There is no need to set an erase bit in
an EEPROM control/status register.)
The EEPROM consists of 16 pages of 32 bytes each; the register
default EEPROM consists of 1 page of 32 bytes starting at
8100h.

The EEPROM page address consists of the EEPROM address
high byte, 80h for FRU or 81h for register default, and the three
MSBs of the low byte. The lower five bits of the EEPROM
address of the low byte are ignored during an erase operation.

Page erasure takes approximately 20 ms. If the EEPROM is
accessed before erasure is complete, the SMBus responds with
No Acknowledge.
Figure 29 shows the peak IDD supply current during an
EEPROM page erase operation. Decoupling capacitors of 10 μF
and 100 nF are recommended on VDD.

SMBus Write Operations
Send Byte
In this operation, the master device sends a single command
byte to a slave device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code.
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the
transaction ends.
In the ADM1041A, the send byte protocol is used to write a
register address to RAM for a subsequent single-byte read from
the same address or block read or write starting at that address.
This is illustrated in Figure 30.

If it is required to read data from the RAM immediately after
setting up the address, the master can assert a repeat start
condition immediately after the final ACK and carry out a
single-byte read, block read, or block write operation without
asserting an intermediate stop condition.
Write Byte/Word
In this operation, the master device sends a command byte and
one or two data bytes to the slave device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code.
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master sends a data byte.
7. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
8. The master sends a data byte (or asserts stop at this point).
9. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.
In the ADM1041A, the write byte/word protocol is used for
the following three purposes. The ADM1041A knows how to
respond by the value of the command byte.
Write a single byte of data to RAM. Here, the command
byte is the RAM address from 00h to 7Fh and the (only)
data byte is the actual data, as shown in Figure 31.

If it is required to read data from the ADM1041A immediately
after setting up the address, the master can assert a repeat start
condition immediately after the final ACK and carry out a
single-byte read, block read, or block write operation without
asserting an intermediate stop condition.
Block Write
In this operation, the master device writes a block of data to a
slave device. Programming an EEPROM byte takes
approximately 350 μs, which limits the SMBus clock for
repeated or block write operations. The start address for a block
write must have been set previously. In the case of the
ADM1041A, this is done by a send byte operation to set a RAM
address or by a write byte/ word operation to set an EEPROM
address.
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code that tells the slave
device to expect a block write. The ADM1041A command
code for a block read is A0h (10100000).
5. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
6. The master sends a data byte that tells the slave device how
many data bytes are to be sent. The SMBus specification
allows a maximum of 32 data bytes to be sent in a block
write.
7. The slave asserts ACK on SDA.
8. The master sends N data bytes.
9. The slave asserts ACK on SDA after each data byte.
10. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA to end the
transaction.

When performing a block write to EEPROM, the page that
contains the location to be written should not be write-
protected (Register 03h) prior to sending the above SMBus
packet. Block writes are limited to within a 32-byte page
boundary and cannot cross into the next page.
SMBus READ OPERATIONS
The ADM1041A uses the following SMBus read protocols.
Receive Byte
In this operation, the master device receives a single byte from a
slave device, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
read bit (high).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master receives a data byte.
5. The master asserts NO ACK on SDA.
6. The master asserts a stop condition on SDA and the
transaction ends.
In the ADM1041A, the receive byte protocol is used to read a
single byte of data from a RAM or EEPROM location whose
address has been set previously by a send byte or write byte/
word operation. This is illustrated in Figure 35.

Block Read
In this operation, the master device reads a block of data from a
slave device. The start address for a block read must previously
have been set. In the case of the ADM1041A, this is done by a
send byte operation to set a RAM address or by a write
byte/word operation to set an EEPROM address. The block read
operation itself consists of a send byte operation that sends a
block read command to the slave, immediately followed by a
repeat start, and a read operation that reads out multiple data
bytes, as follows:
1. The master device asserts a start condition on SDA.
2. The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed by the
write bit (low).
3. The addressed slave device asserts ACK on SDA.
4. The master sends a command code that tells the slave
device to expect a block read. The ADM1041A command

Notes on SMBus Read Operations
The SMBus interface of the ADM1041A cannot load the
SMBUS if no power is applied to the ADM1041A. This
requirement allows a power supply to be disconnected from the
ac supply while still installed in a power subsystem.
When using the SMBus interface, a write always consists of the
ADM1041A SMBus interface address byte, followed by the
internal address register byte, and then the data byte. There are
two cases for a read.
In the first case, if the internal address register is known to be at
the desired address, read the ADM1041A with the SMBus
interface address byte, followed by the data byte read from the
ADM1041A. The internal address pointer increments if a block
mode operation is in progress; data values of 0 are returned if
the register address limit of 7Fh is exceeded or if unused
registers in the address range 00h to 7Fh are accessed. If the
address register is pointing at EEPROM memory, that is 8000h,
and the address reaches its limit of 80FFh, it does not roll over
to Address 8100h on the next access.
Additional accesses do not increment the address pointer, all
reads return 00h, and all writes complete normally but do not
change any internal register or EEPROM location. If the address
register is pointing at EEPROM memory, that is 81xxh, and the
address reaches its limit of 813Fh, it does not roll over to
Address 8140h on the next access.
Additional accesses do not increment the address pointer, all
reads return 00h, and all writes complete normally but do not
change any internal register or EEPROM location. Note that for
byte reads, the internal address does not auto-increment.
In the second case, if the internal address register value is
unknown, write to the ADM1041A with the SMBus interface
address byte, followed by the internal address register byte.
Then restart the serial communication with a read consisting of
the SMBus interface address byte, followed by the data byte read
from the ADM1041A.
SMBus ALERT RESPONSE ADDRESS (ARA)
The ADM1041A CBD/ALERT pin can be configured to
respond to a variety of fault signals and can be used as an
interrupt to a microprocessor. The pins from several
ADM1041As may be wire-ORed. When the SMBus master
(microprocessor) detects an alert request, it normally needs to
read the alert status of each device to identify the source of the
alert.
The SMBus ARA provides an easier method to locate the source
of a such an alert. When the master receives an alert, it can send
a general call address (0001100) over the bus. The device assert-
ing the alert responds by returning its own slave address to the
master.
If more than one device asserts an alert, all alerting devices try
to respond with their slave addresses, but an arbitration process
ensures that only the lowest slave address is received by the
master. If the slave device has its alert configured as latching, it
sends a command via the SMBus to clear the latch. The master
should then check if the alert line is still asserted, and, if so,
repeat the ARA call to service the next alert. Note that an
alerting slave does not respond to an ARA call unless it is
configured in SMBus mode (not AC_OKLink/PSONLINK) and
up_pson_m is set. The ADM1041A supports the SMBus (ARA)
function.
SUPPORT FOR SMBus 1.1
SMBus 1.1 optionally adds a CRC8 frame check sequence to
check if transmissions are received correctly. This is particularly
useful for long block read/write EEPROM operations, when the
SMBus is heavily loaded or in a noisy environment. The CRC8
frame can be used to guarantee reliability of the EEPROM.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Noise coupling into the digital lines (greater than 150 mV),
overshoot greater than VCC, and undershoot less than GND
may prevent successful SMBus communication with the
ADM1041A. SMBus No Acknowledge is the most common
symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although the
SMBus maximum frequency of communication is rather low
(400 kHz max), care still needs to be taken to ensure proper
termination within a system with multiple parts on the bus and
long printed circuit board traces. A 5.1 kΩ resistor can be added
in series with the SDA and SCL lines to help filter noise and
ringing. Minimize noise coupling by keeping digital traces out
of switching power supply areas and ensure that digital lines
containing high speed data communications cross at right
angles to the SDA and SCL lines.
POWER-UP AUTO-CONFIGURATION
After power-up or reset, the ADM1041A automatically reads
the content of a 32-byte block of EEPROM memory that starts
at 8100h and transfers the contents into the appropriate trim-
level and control registers (00h to 1Bh). In this way, the
ADM1041A can be preconfigured with the desired operating
characteristics without the host system having to download the
data over the SMBus. This does not preclude the possibility of
modifying the configuration during normal operation.
Figure 37 shows a block diagram of the EEPROM download at
power-up or power-on reset.

EXTENDED SMBus ADDRESSING
It is possible to use more than three ADM1041As in a single
power supply. The first time the device is powered up, Bit 1 of
Configuration Register 1 (ADD1) is 0. This means that only
three device addresses are initially available as defined by
ADD0; if there are more than three devices in a system, two or
more of them have duplicate addresses. See Figure 38.
To overcome this, the ICT pin has additional functionality.
Taking ICT below GND temporarily disables the SMBus
function of the device. Thus, if the ICT pin of all devices in
which ADD1 is to remain 0 are taken negative, the ADD1 bits
of all other devices can be set to 1 via the SMBus. Each device
then has a unique address. Internal diodes clamp the negative
voltage to about 0.6 V, and care should be taken to limit the
current to less than approximately 5 mA on each ICT input to
prevent the possibility of damage or latch-up. The suggested
current is 3 mA. One example of a suitable circuit is given in
Figure 38. The ADM1041As can then be configured and
trimmed. If required, AC_OKLink and PSONLINK must be
configured last. If ICT is used for its intended purpose as a
current transformer input, care must be taken with the circuit
design to allow the extended SMBus addressing to work.
SDA/PSONLINK
The SDA pin normally carries data in and out of the
ADM1041A during programming/configuration or while
reading/writing by a microprocessor. If a microprocessor is not
used, this pin can be configured as PSONLINK and can be
connected to the same pin on other ADM1041As in the power
supply. If a fault is detected in any ADM1041A, causing it to
shut down, it uses this pin to signal the other ADM1041As to
also shut down. If an auto-restart has been configured, it also
causes all ADM1041As to turn on together.
SCL/AC_OKLink
The SCL pin normally provides a clock signal into the
ADM1041A during programming/configuration or while
reading/writing by a microprocessor. If a microprocessor is not
used, this pin can be configured as AC_OKLink, and can be
connected to the same pin on other ADM1041As in the power
supply. This allows a single ADM1041A to be used for ac
sensing and helps to synchronize the start-up of multiple
ADM1041As.
BACKDOOR ACCESS
After SCL and SDA have been configured as AC_OKLink and
PSONLINK, it may be desired to recover the SMBus access to
the ADM1041A. Changes may be necessary to the internal
configuration or trim bits. This is achieved by holding the SCL
and SDA pins at 0 V (ground) while cycling VDD. SCL and SDA
then revert to SMBus operation. See Figure 38.

MICROPROCESSOR SUPPORT
Possible ways to turn the ADM1041A on or off in response to a system request or a fault include the following:
Daisy-chaining other ADM1041A PSON pins to the PEN pin, which is controlled by PSON on one ADM1041A.
Use a microprocessor to control the PSON, the system interface, and any shutdowns due to faults.
Connect all AC_OKLink pins together and connect all PSONLINK pins together. These pins must be configured appropriately.
Flags appended with _L are latched (Registers 2Ah/2Bh/2Ch). The latch is reset when the flag is read, except when the fault is still present.
It is advisable to continue reading the flag(s) until the fault(s) have cleared.
Table 43.
Mnemonic Description Register Bit Read/Write
m_pson_r Allows the microprocessor to read the state of PSON. This allows only one
ADM1041A to be configured as the PSON interface to the host system.
02h 6 Read-only
Micro PS_ON Allows the microprocessor to write to control the PSON function of each
ADM1041A. When in microprocessor support mode, the principle
configuration for controlling power-on/power-off is as follows. One
ADM1041A is configured as the interface to the host system through the
standard PSON pin. This pin is configured not to write through to the PSON
debounce block. The microprocessor polls the status of this ADM1041A by
reading m_pson_r. Debouncing is done by the microprocessor. If m_pson_r
changed state, the microprocessor writes the new state to m_pson_w in all
ADM1041As on the SMBus. If a fault occurs on any output, the SMBAlert
interrupt requests microprocessor attention. If this means turning all
ADM1041As off, this is done by writing a zero to the m_pson_w bit.
12h 1 Read/Write
m_acsns_r Allows the microprocessor to read the state of ACSENSE1/ACSENSE2. This allows
one ADM1041A to be configured as the interface to the host power supply.
02h 7 Read-only
Micro AC SENSE Allows the microprocessor to write to control the ACSENSE function of each
ADM1041A. When in microprocessor support mode the principle configuration
for controlling AC_OK, undervoltage blanking, PEN gating, and RAMP/SS
gating is as follows. One ADM1041A is configured to be the interface with the
host power supply AC monitoring circuitry. This ADM1041A can be configured
so that the acsns signal is written through or would not be written through.
Regardless, the microprocessor monitors m_acsns_r and write to m_acsns_w
as appropriate. Because it is possible to sense but not to write through, it is
possible to configure a second ADM1041A to monitor a second ac or bulk
voltage.
12h 5 Read/Write
Micro Share Clamp Allows the μP to write directly to m_shr_clmp to control when the ISHARE
clamp is released. During a hot-swap insertion, there may be a need to delay
the release of the ISHARE clamp. This allows the designer an option over the
default release at 75% or 88% of the reference ramp (soft start).
13h 2 Read/Write
Micro CBD Write Allows the microprocessor to write directly to CBD as a possible way of adding
an additional output port. This might be for blinking LEDs or as a fault signal to
the system.
13h 1 Read/Write
Micro CBD Clear Allows the microprocessor to clear the CBD latch following an SMBalert. If CBD
is configured to be latching, there may be circumstances that lead to
CBD/SMBAlert being set by, for example, one of the MON flags, but does not
lead to PSON being cycled and CBD being reset. In this case, the
microprocessor needs to write directly to CBD to reset the latch.
