Product details
Overview
ADM1041ARQZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a secondary-side controller IC for N+1 redundant server power supplies, providing voltage regulation, current sharing, OrFET gate control, and comprehensive fault monitoring. It integrates differential remote voltage/current sensing, SMBus/I²C interface, 352-byte field EEPROM, and programmable soft-start with ±3% total current sense error (chopper on) across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL datasheet, ADM1041ARQZ-REEL pinout, ADM1041ARQZ-REEL application, or ADM1041ARQZ-REEL equivalent, this device supports digital calibration of load voltage (1.7–2.3 V nominal), current limit (105–130%), and share bus offset (±100 mV window), with real-time fault interrogation via SMBus for network server and web server power management systems.
Technical Context
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL implements a closed-loop secondary-side control architecture using three core inputs: differential remote voltage sense (VS+/VS−), differential current sense (CS+/CS−), and current-share bus feedback (SHRO/SHRS). Its VCMP output drives an optocoupler to regulate the primary-side PWM controller, enabling precise output voltage stabilization without manual trimming.
It features dual-mode current sensing-resistor-based (ISENSE) with gain settings from 65× to 230×, or current-transformer-based (ICT) with 2.57×/4.5× options-and integrated OrFET reverse-voltage detection (20–250 mV turn-on threshold) with FG pin shutdown in <2 μs during short-circuit events.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDD Supply | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - powers all analog/digital blocks; includes 400 μs VDDOK debounce for stable startup |
| Differential Voltage Sense | 1.7–2.3 V VNOM range - digitally trimmable in 0.10–0.14% steps for precise load voltage margining |
| Current Sense Error | ±3% total (gain + offset) - chopper-stabilized amplifier ensures accuracy over temperature and time |
| SMBus Interface | I²C-compatible, 400 kHz max - enables microcontroller read/write of 352-byte field EEPROM and 160-byte calibration memory |
| OrFET Control | FG pin open-drain N-channel - sinks 55 mA short-circuit current to disconnect supply within 2 μs of reverse-voltage detection |
| Soft-Start Period | 0–40 ms programmable - 7-bit ramp control (Reg 10h[3:2]) prevents inrush current in high-density server rails |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade server PSU environments with 150°C max junction temperature |

| CS+, CS− | Differential current sense input | Accepts mV-level signals from sense resistor or current transformer; supports 9.5–44.5 mV full-scale ranges |
| SHRO, SHRS+ | Current-share bus drive/receive | Drives shared bus with rail-to-rail output (VDD − 0.4 V); monitors master/slave arbitration via ±100–400 mV window comparator |
| FG | OrFET gate driver output | Open-drain N-channel output; asserts low to shut down OrFET during reverse-voltage fault (e.g., rectifier short) |
| SCL, SDA | SMBus serial interface | I²C-compatible bidirectional lines; support broadcast addressing and ARA for multi-device coordination |
| PSON, PEN, DC_OK | Power sequencing/status outputs | Configurable open-drain/P-channel outputs with programmable on/off delays (0–1600 ms) for system-level power management |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digital calibration via EEPROM | 160-byte dedicated calibration memory + 352-byte field data storage enables post-manufacturing trim of voltage, current, and timing parameters |
| Standalone or microcontroller operation | No external MCU required - internal state machine handles voltage regulation, current share, and fault response autonomously |
| Differential remote sense amplifier | 35 kΩ VS− input resistance and 500 kΩ VS+ input resistance minimize loading error on high-impedance divider networks |
| Programmable soft-start slew rate | Four discrete ramp periods (300 μs to 40 ms) prevent output overshoot and reduce stress on downstream capacitors |
| Comprehensive fault detection | Simultaneous monitoring of overvoltage (5–25 μs filter), undervoltage (300–600 μs), overcurrent, overtemperature (MON5), and ground continuity |
Applications
| Server Power Supply Control | Redundant N+1 Power Architecture |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secondary-side power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM1041ARQZ | Same die, non-reel packaging (tube); identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference - differs only in tape-and-reel vs. tube delivery format | Select ADM1041ARQZ-REEL for automated SMT assembly; ADM1041ARQZ for prototyping or low-volume hand placement |
| UCD9222RGZR | Dual-output digital PWM controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; requires external MCU for configuration; no built-in EEPROM calibration | Targets multi-rail POL converters with tight sequencing; lacks standalone OrFET control and analog housekeeping integration | Choose UCD9222RGZR when designing new multi-output digital PSUs with PMBus; retain ADM1041ARQZ-REEL for analog-centric, single-rail N+1 server supplies needing plug-and-play calibration |
Compared with ADM1041ARQZ-REEL, the ADM1041ARQZ offers identical functionality in tube packaging for manual assembly, while the UCD9222RGZR provides digital multi-rail control but requires external firmware development and lacks integrated OrFET supervision - making ADM1041ARQZ-REEL optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability server PSU secondary-side control.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL in a power supply system?
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL serves as a secondary-side controller that regulates output voltage, balances current across parallel power modules, manages OrFET-based OR'ing diodes, and monitors faults including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature. It generates the VCMP error signal sent to the primary-side PWM controller via optocoupler, enabling closed-loop regulation without manual calibration. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL integrates all these functions in a single QSOP-24 package with SMBus interface and EEPROM for field programming.
Does the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL support both resistor-based and transformer-based current sensing?
Yes, the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL supports dual-mode current sensing: resistor-based (ISENSE) with six programmable gain settings (65× to 230×) for sense-resistor applications, and current-transformer-based (ICT) with two gain options (2.57× or 4.5×) for isolated current measurement. Configuration is controlled via Register 17h[7] and Register 16h[2:0], and both modes provide ±3% total current sense error (chopper on) across –40°C to +85°C. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL's flexible sensing architecture allows designers to select the optimal method based on isolation requirements and accuracy needs.
How does the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL implement current sharing in N+1 redundant systems?
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL implements current sharing via its SHRO (share output) and SHRS (share sense) pins, forming a wired-OR bus that equalizes load current among parallel power modules. It uses an ISHARE error amplifier with a programmable ±100–400 mV window comparator (Reg 04h[1:0]) to detect imbalance and adjust VCMP accordingly. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL also supports zero-current offset trim (Reg 05h[7:0]) and current share capture range selection (Reg 10h[5:4]) to ensure ±1% current matching across modules under varying load and temperature conditions.
What protection features does the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL provide for OrFET control?
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL provides dedicated OrFET protection through reverse-voltage detection on the FS (CS−) and FD pins, with programmable turn-on thresholds (20–50 mV) and turn-off thresholds (100–250 mV) set via Register 03h[7:4]. Upon detecting reverse voltage - such as during a rectifier short - the FG pin asserts low within 2 μs to shut down the external N-channel MOSFET. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL also monitors OrFET OK status and reports faults via SMBus registers, enabling rapid diagnostics without additional circuitry.
Can the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL operate without a microcontroller?
Yes, the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL is designed for standalone operation: its internal state machine handles voltage regulation, current sharing, soft-start, and fault response autonomously using factory- or field-programmed EEPROM values. The SMBus interface is optional for configuration and monitoring; it is not required for basic functionality. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL supports microcontroller co-operation via broadcast commands and alert response addressing (ARA), but all critical control loops remain active even with SCL/SDA unconnected.
