GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM30701 isolator is a regulated dc-to-dc isolated power
supply controller with an internal MOSFET driver. The dc-to-
dc controller has an internal isolated PWM feedback from the
secondary side based on the iCoupler® chip scale transformer
technology and complete loop compensation. This eliminates
the need to use an optocoupler for feedback and compensates
the loop for stability.
The ADuM3070 isolator provides a more stable output voltage and
higher efficiency compared to unregulated isolated dc-to-dc power
supplies. The fully integrated feedback and loop compensation
in a small QSOP package provides a smaller form factor than any
discrete solution. The regulated feedback provides a relatively flat
efficiency curve over the full output power range. The ADuM3070
enables a dc-to-dc converter with a 3.3 V to 24 V isolated output
voltage range from either a 5.0 V or a 3.3 V input voltage, with
an output power of up to 2.5 W.

10 OC Oscillator Control Pin. When OC = logic high = VDD2, the secondary controller runs open-loop. To regulate the
output voltage, connect a resistor between the OC pin and GND2, and the secondary controller runs at a
frequency of 200 kHz to 1 MHz, as programmed by the resistor value.
13 FB Feedback Input from the Secondary Output Voltage VISO. Use a resistor divider from VISO to the FB pin to make
the VFB voltage equal to the 1.25 V internal reference level using the VISO = VFB × (R1 + R2)/R2 formula. The resistor
divider is required even in open-loop mode to provide soft start.
14 VDD2 Internal Supply Voltage Pin for the Secondary Side Controller. When a sufficient external voltage is supplied to
VREG, the internal regulator regulates the VDD2 pin to 5.0 V. Otherwise, VDD2 should be in the 3.0 V to 5.5 V range.
Connect a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor from VDD2 to GND2.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The dc-to-dc converter section of the ADuM3070 uses a secondary
side controller architecture with isolated pulse-width modulation
(PWM) feedback. VDD1 power is supplied to an oscillating circuit
that switches current to the primary side of an external power
transformer using internal push-pull switches at the X1 and X2
pins. Power transferred to the secondary side of the transformer
is full-wave rectified with external Schottky diodes (D1 and D2),
filtered with the L1 inductor and COUT capacitor, and regulated
to the isolated power supply voltage from 3.3 V to 15 V. T h e
secondary (VISO) side controller regulates the output by using a
feedback voltage VFB from a resistor divider on the output and
creating a PWM control signal that is sent to the primary (VCC)
side by a dedicated iCoupler data channel labeled VFB. The primary
side PWM converter varies the duty cycle of the X1 and X2 switches
to modulate the oscillator circuit and control the power being
sent to the secondary side. This feedback allows for significantly
higher power and efficiency.
The ADuM3070 implements undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with
hysteresis on the VDD1 power input. This feature ensures that the
converter does enter oscillation due to noisy input power or slow
power-on ramp rates.
A minimum load current of 10 mA is recommended to ensure
optimum load regulation. Smaller loads can generate excess noise
on the output because of short or erratic PWM pulses. Excess
noise generated from smaller loads can cause regulation problems,
in some circumstances.
APPLICATION SCHEMATICS
The ADuM3070 has three main application schematics, as shown
in Figure 31 to Figure 33. Figure 31 has a center-tapped secondary
and two Schottky diodes providing full wave rectification for a
single output, typically for power supplies of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and
15 V. For single supplies when VISO = 3.3 V or VISO = 5 V, see the
note in Figure 31 about connecting together VREG, VDD2, and VISO.
Figure 32 is a voltage doubling circuit that can be used for a single
supply whose output exceeds 15 V, which is the largest supply that
can be connected to the regulator input, VREG (Pin 16), of the part.
With Figure 32, the output voltage can be as high as 24 V and the
VREG pin is only about 12 V. When using the circuit shown in
Figure 32, to obtain an output voltage lower than 10 V (for
example, VDD1 = 3.3 V, VISO = 5 V), connect VREG to VISO directly.
Figure 33, which also uses a voltage doubling secondary circuit,
is shown as an example of a coarsely regulated, positive power
supply and an unregulated, negative power supply for outputs of
approximately ±5 V, ±12 V, and ±15 V. For any circuit in Figure 31,
Figure 32, or Figure 33, the isolated output voltage (VISO) can be
set using the voltage dividers, R1 and R2 (values 1 kΩ to 100 kΩ),
using the following equation:

TRANSFORMER DESIGN
Transformers have been designed for use in the circuits shown
in Figure 31, Figure 32, and Figure 33 and are listed in Table 13.
The design of a transformer for the ADuM3070 can differ from
some isolated dc-to-dc converter designs that do not regulate the
output voltage. The output voltage is regulated by a PWM controller
in the ADuM3070 that varies the duty cycle of the primary side
switches in response to a secondary side feedback voltage, VFB,
received through an isolated digital channel. The internal
controller has a limit of 40% maximum duty cycle.
TRANSFORMER TURNS RATIO
To determine the transformer turns ratio, and taking into
account the losses for the primary switches and the losses for
the secondary diodes and inductors, the external transformer
turns ratio for the ADuM3070 can be calculated by
2××
+
=
DV
VV
N
N
(MIN)DD1
D
ISO
P
S
where:
NS/NP is the primary to secondary turns ratio.
VISO is the isolated output supply voltage.
VD is the Schottky diode voltage drop (0.5 V maximum).
VDD1 (MIN) is the minimum input supply voltage.
D is the duty cycle = 0.30 for a 30% typical duty cycle, 40% is
maximum, and a multiplier factor of 2 is used for the push-pull
switching cycle.
For Figure 31, the 5 V to 5 V reference design in Table 13, with
VDD1 (MIN) = 4.5 V, the turns ratio is NS/NP = 2.
For a similar 3.3 V input to 3.3 V output, isolated single power
supply and with VDD1 (MIN) = 3.0 V, the turns ratio is also NS/NP =
2. Therefore, the same transformer turns ratio NS/NP = 2 can be
used for the three single power applications (5 V to 5 V, 5 V to
3.3 V, and 3.3 V to 3.3 V).
For Figure 32, the circuit uses double windings and diode pairs
to create a doubler circuit; therefore, half the output voltage, VISO/2,
is used in the equation.

NS/NP is the primary to secondary turns ratio.
VISO/2 is used in the equation because the circuit uses two pairs

VD is the Schottky diode voltage drop (0.5 V maximum).
VDD1 (MIN) is the minimum input supply voltage.
D is the duty cycle, which is 0.30 for a 30% typical duty cycle and
0.40 for a 40% maximum duty cycle, and a multiplier factor of
two is used for the push-pull switching cycle.
For Figure 32, the 5 V to 15 V reference design in Table 13, with
VDD1 (MIN) = 4.5 V, results in a turns ratio of NS/NP = 3.
For Figure 33, the circuit also uses double windings and diode pairs
to create a doubler circuit; however, because a positive and negative
output voltage is created, VISO is used in the equation.

where:
NS/NP is the primary to secondary turns ratio.
VISO is the isolated output supply voltage and is used in the equation

VD is the Schottky diode voltage drop (0.5 V maximum).
VDD1 (MIN) is the minimum input supply voltage, and a multiplier
factor of 2 is used for the push-pull switching cycle.
D is the duty cycle; in this case, a higher duty cycle of D = 0.35
for a 35% typical duty cycle (40% maximum duty cycle) was
used in the Figure 33 circuit to reduce the maximum voltages
seen by the diodes for a ±15 V supply.
For Figure 33, the +5 V to ±15 V reference design in Table 13,
with VDD1 (MIN) = 4.5 V, results in a turns ratio of NS/NP = 5.
TRANSFORMER ET CONSTANT
The next transformer design factor to consider is the ET constant.
This constant determines the minimum V × µs constant of
the transformer over the operating temperature. ET values of
14 V × µs and 18 V × µs were selected for the ADuM3070 designs
listed in Table 13 using the following equation:

where:
VDD1 (MAX) is the maximum input supply voltage.
fSW (MIN) is the minimum primary switching frequency = 300 kHz
in startup, and a multiplier factor of 2 is used for the push-pull
switching cycle.
TRANSFORMER PRIMARY INDUCTANCE AND
RESISTANCE
Another important characteristic of the transformer for designs
with the ADuM3070 is the primary inductance. Transformers
for the ADuM3070 are recommended to have between 60 µH
to 100 µH of inductance per primary winding. Values of primary
inductance in this range are needed for smooth operation of the
ADuM3070 pulse-by-pulse current-limit circuit, which can help
protect against build up of saturation currents in the transformer. If
the inductance is specified for the total of both primary windings,
for example, as 400 µH, the inductance of one winding is ¼ of two
equal windings, or 100 µH.
Another important characteristic of the transformer for designs
with the ADuM3070 is primary resistance. Primary resistance as
low as is practical (less than 1 Ω) helps reduce losses and improves
efficiency. The total primary resistance can be measured and
specified, and is shown for the transformers in Table 13.

TRANSFORMER ISOLATION VOLTAGE
Isolation voltage and isolation type should be determined for
the requirements of the application and then specified. The
transformers in Table 13 have been specified for 2500 V rms for
supplemental or basic isolation and for 1500 V rms for functional
isolation. Other isolation levels and isolation voltages can be
specified and requested from the manufacturers that are listed
in Table 13 or from other manufacturers.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY
The ADuM3070 switching frequency can be adjusted from
200 kHz to 1 MHz by changing the value of the ROC resistor
shown in Figure 31, Figure 32, and Figure 33. The value of the
ROC resistor needed for the desired switching frequency can be
determined from the switching frequency vs. ROC resistance
curve shown in Figure 4. The output filter inductor value and
output capacitor value for the ADuM3070 application schematics
have been designed to be stable over the switching frequency
range from 500 kHz to 1 MHz, when loaded from 10% to 90%
of the maximum load.
The ADuM3070 also has an open-loop mode where the output
voltage is not regulated and is dependent on the transformer
turns ratio, NS/NP, and the conditions of the output including
output load current and the losses in the dc-to-dc converter
circuit. This open-loop mode is selected when the OC pin is
connected high to the VDD2 pin. In open-loop mode, the
switching frequency is 318 kHz.
TRANSIENT RESPONSE
The load transient response of the output voltage of the ADuM3070
for 10% to 90% of the full load is shown in Figure 19 to Figure 26
for the application schematics in Figure 31 and Figure 32. The
response shown is slow but stable and can have more output
change than desired for some applications. The output voltage
change with load transient has been reduced, and the output has
been shown to remain stable by adding more inductance to the
output circuits, as shown in the second VISO output waveform in
Figure 19 to Figure 26.
For additional improvement in transient response, add a 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor (CFB) in parallel with the high feedback resistor.
As shown in Figure 19 to Figure 26, this value helps reduce the
overshoot and undershoot during load transients.
COMPONENT SELECTION
Power supply bypassing is required at the input and output supply
pins. Note that a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor of 0.1 µF is
required on Side 1 between Pin 7 and Pin 8, and on Side 2 between
Pin 14 and Pin 15, as close to the chip pads as possible.
The power supply section of the ADuM3070 uses a high oscillator
frequency to efficiently pass power through the external power
transformer. Bypass capacitors are required for several operating
frequencies. Noise suppression requires a low inductance, high
frequency capacitor; ripple suppression and proper regulation
require a large value capacitor. To suppress noise and reduce ripple,
large valued ceramic capacitors of X5R or X7R dielectric type are
recommended. The recommended capacitor value is 10 µF for
VDD1 and 47 µF for VISO. These capacitors have a low ESR and are
available in moderate 1206 or 1210 sizes for voltages up to 10 V. For
output voltages larger than 10 V, two 22 µF ceramic capacitors can
be used in parallel. See Table 14 for recommended components.
Inductors must be selected based on the value and supply current
needed. Most applications with switching frequencies between
500 kHz and 1 MHz and load transients between 10% and 90%
of full load are stable with the 47 µH inductor value listed in Table 14.
Values as large as 200 µH can be used for power supply applications
with a switching frequency as low as 200 kHz to help stabilize the
output voltage or for improved load transient response (see Figure 19
to Figure 26). Inductors in a small 1212 or 1210 size are listed in
Tabl e 14 with a 47 µH value and a 0.41 A current rating to handle the
majority of applications below a 400 mA load, and with a 100 µH
value and a 0.34 A current rating to handle a load to 300 mA.
Schottky diodes are recommended for their low forward voltage
to reduce losses and their high reverse voltage of up to 40 V to
withstand the peak voltages available in the doubling circuit
shown in Figure 32 and Figure 33.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT
Note that the total lead length between the ends of the low ESR
capacitor and the VDDx and GNDx pins must not exceed 2 mm. See
Figure 34 for the recommended PCB layout.
Figure 34. Recommended PCB Layout
In applications involving high common-mode transients, ensure
that board coupling across the isolation barrier is minimized.
Furthermore, design the board layout such that any coupling
that does occur equally affects all pins on a given component side.
Failure to ensure this can cause voltage differentials between pins,
exceeding the absolute maximum ratings specified in Table 10,
thereby leading to latch-up and/or permanent damage.
The ADuM3070 is a power device that dissipates about 1 W of
power when fully loaded. Because it is not possible to apply a
heat sink to an isolation device, the device primarily depends on
heat dissipation into the PCB through the GNDx pins. If the device
is used at high ambient temperatures, care must be taken to provide
a thermal path from the GNDx pins to the PCB ground plane.
The board layout shows enlarged pads for the GNDx pins (Pin 2
and Pin 8) on Side 1 and (Pin 9 and Pin 15) on Side 2. Implement
large diameter vias from the pad to the ground planes and power
planes to increase thermal conductivity and to reduce inductance.
Multiple vias in the thermal pads can significantly reduce
temperatures inside the chip. The dimensions of the expanded
pads are left to the discretion of the designer and the available
board space.
THERMAL ANALYSIS
The ADuM3070 parts consist of two internal die attached to a
split lead frame with two die attach paddles. For the purposes of
thermal analysis, the die is treated as a thermal unit, with the
highest junction temperature reflected in the θJA from Table 5.
The value of θJA is based on measurements taken with the devices
mounted on a JEDEC standard, 4-layer board with fine width traces
and still air. Under normal operating conditions, the ADuM3070
devices operate at full load across the full temperature range
without derating the output current. However, following the
recommendations in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Layout
section decreases thermal resistance to the PCB, allowing increased
thermal margins in high ambient temperatures. The ADuM3070
has a thermal shutdown circuit that shuts down the dc-to-dc
converter of the ADuM3070 when a die temperature of about
160°C is reached. When the die cools below about 140°C, the
ADuM3070 dc-to-dc converter turns on again.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The total input supply current is equal to the sum of the IDD1 primary
transformer current and the ADuM3070 input current, IDDA.
The following relationship allows the total IIN current to be:
IIN = (IISO × VISO)/(E × VDD1) (1)
where:
IIN is the total supply input current.
IISO is the current drawn by the secondary side external load.
E is the power supply efficiency at the given output load from
Figure 8 or Figure 14 at the VISO and VDD1 condition of interest.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
Soft Start Mode and Current-Limit Protection
When the ADuM3070 first receives power from VDD1, it is
in soft start mode, and the output voltage, VISO, is increased
gradually while it is below the startup threshold. In soft start
mode, to limit the peak current during VISO power-up, the
primary converter gradually increases the width of the PWM
signal. When the output voltage is larger than the start-up
threshold, the PWM signal can be transferred from the secondary
controller to the primary converter, and the dc-to-dc converter
switches from soft start mode to the normal PWM control mode.
If a short circuit occurs, the push-pull converter shuts down for
about 2 ms and then enters soft start mode. If, at the end of soft
start, a short circuit still exists, the process is repeated, which is
called hiccup mode. If the short circuit is cleared, the ADuM3070
enters normal operation.
The ADuM3070 has a pulse-by-pulse current limit, which is
active at startup and during normal operation, that protects the
primary switches, X1 and X2, from exceeding approximately
1.3 A peak, protecting the transformer windings.
INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected to
voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of insulation
degradation is dependent on the characteristics of the voltage
waveform applied across the insulation. Analog Devices, Inc.,
conducts an extensive set of evaluations to determine the lifetime of
the insulation structure within the ADuM3070. Accelerated life
testing is performed using voltage levels higher than the rated
continuous working voltage. Acceleration factors for several
operating conditions are determined, allowing calculation of
the time to failure at the working voltage of interest. The values
shown in Table 11 summarize the peak voltages for 50 years of
service life in several operating conditions. In many cases, the
working voltage approved by agency testing is higher than the
50-year service life voltage. Operation at working voltages
higher than the service life voltage listed leads to premature
insulation failure.
The insulation lifetime of the ADuM3070 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, dc, or unipolar ac. Figure 36,
Figure 37, and Figure 38 illustrate these different isolation voltage
waveforms.
Bipolar ac voltage is the most stringent environment. A 50-year
operating lifetime under the bipolar ac condition determines
the Analog Devices recommended maximum working voltage.
In the case of unipolar ac or dc voltage, the stress on the insulation
is significantly lower. This allows operation at higher working
voltages while still achieving a 50-year service life. The working
voltages listed in Table 11 can be applied while maintaining the
50-year minimum lifetime, if the voltage conforms to either the
unipolar ac or dc voltage cases. Treat any cross-insulation voltage
waveform that does not conform to Figure 37 or Figure 38 as a
bipolar ac waveform, and limit its peak voltage to the 50-year
lifetime voltage value listed in Table 11.
