GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM4070
1
is a regulated dc-to-dc isolated power supply
controller with an internal MOSFET driver. The dc-to-dc controller
has internal isolated PWM feedback from the secondary side based
on the iCoupler® chip scale transformer technology and complete
loop compensation. This architecture eliminates the need to use
an optocoupler for feedback and compensates the loop for stability.
The ADuM4070 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 wide-body SOIC package provide a solution with a smaller
form factor and 8.3 mm creepage distance.
The regulated feedback provides a relatively flat efficiency curve
over the full output power range. The ADuM4070 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.
