Product details
Overview
ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a secondary-side power supply controller IC designed for N+1 redundant server power supplies. It performs voltage regulation, current sharing, OrFET gate control, and comprehensive fault monitoring-including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse-voltage detection-with digital calibration via 160-byte EEPROM and SMBus (I²C-compatible) interface. It operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and supports differential remote voltage sensing (VS+/VS−), current-sense amplifier with 65–230× programmable gain, and soft-start ramp control.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 pinout, ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 application, or ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability secondary-side housekeeping in telecom and datacenter power systems where precise load voltage margining, current-share accuracy, and fast fault response (e.g., <2 µs OV-to-FG assertion) are critical.
Technical Context
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 implements a closed-loop secondary-side control architecture using three key analog inputs: differential remote voltage sense (VS+/VS−), current-sense input (CS+/CS− or ICT), and current-share bus feedback (SHRS/SHRO). Its VCMP output drives an optocoupler to regulate the primary-side PWM, while FG provides fast OrFET shutdown on reverse-voltage detection.
It integrates dual error amplifiers (voltage-error and current-limit), a 352-byte field-data EEPROM, SMBus-compliant serial interface with broadcast support, and programmable digital debounce (e.g., 250–500 µs VDDOK delay, 80 ms PSON debounce). All trimming-load voltage, OV/UVP thresholds, soft-start slew, current-sense offset/gain-is performed digitally via register writes.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCD3138RGCT | Digital signal processor (DSP)-based digital controller with integrated PWM; requires external ADCs and firmware development; no built-in EEPROM calibration | Targeted at fully programmable, adaptive control loops-not plug-and-play secondary-side housekeeping | Select when custom control algorithms (e.g., predictive current share) are required; avoid for drop-in replacement due to architectural complexity and layout overhead |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 in a power supply design?
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 serves as a secondary-side controller that manages output voltage regulation, current sharing across parallel modules, OrFET gate control for fault isolation, and comprehensive housekeeping-including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse-voltage detection. It replaces multiple discrete analog components and eliminates manual calibration by embedding digital trim in EEPROM. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 interfaces with the primary-side PWM via its VCMP output and communicates with system management via SMBus.
Does the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 support both sense-resistor and current-transformer current sensing?
Yes, the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 supports both configurations. Pins CS+/CS− accept differential voltage from a sense resistor (ISENSE mode), while ICT accepts current-transformer output with programmable gain settings (4.5× or 2.57×). Selection is controlled via Reg 17h[7] and Reg 17h[5], and gain calibration is stored in EEPROM. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 also provides digital offset and tolerance trimming for each mode to ensure accuracy across temperature and unit variation.
How does the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 implement current sharing in N+1 redundant systems?
The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 implements current sharing via its SHRO (share output) and SHRS+ (share reference) pins, which form a wired-OR current-share bus. Each device measures its own output current and adjusts its VCMP output to equalize current across parallel units. Zero-current offset (Reg 05h) and gain trim (Reg 16h) compensate for inter-unit mismatches. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 also includes SHARE_OK monitoring and programmable window comparators (±100–400 mV) to validate bus integrity before enabling full load.
What is the role of the FG pin on the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7, and how fast does it respond to faults?
The FG (Fault Gate) pin is an open-drain N-channel output that drives the gate of an external OrFET to disconnect the power supply from the load during faults. It asserts low within 2 µs of detecting reverse voltage on the CS− pin (FS input), preventing bus collapse in case of rectifier or bulk capacitor shorts. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 also supports programmable turn-on/turn-off thresholds (20–50 mV on, 100–250 mV off) via Reg 03h[7:4] to optimize noise immunity and response speed.
Can the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 operate without a microcontroller, and what features remain functional?
Yes, the ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 supports standalone operation: power-on auto-configuration initializes registers, soft-start ramps VCMP, and fault responses (e.g., FG assertion, DC_OK deassertion) occur autonomously. Voltage margining, current limit, and OVP/UVP thresholds are set via EEPROM-trimmed defaults. SMBus is optional for runtime reconfiguration or telemetry. The ADM1041ARQZ-REEL7 requires no host MCU to perform core secondary-side control-making it ideal for cost-sensitive or firmware-constrained designs.
