The ADP1972 is a constant frequency, voltage mode, pulse-width
modulation (PWM) controller for buck or boost, dc-to-dc,
asynchronous applications. The ADP1972 is designed for use in
asynchronous battery testing applications with an external, high
voltage field effect transistor (FET), half bridge driver, and an
external control device, such as the AD8450. The asynchronous
device operates as a buck converter in battery charge mode and
operates as a boost converter in recycle mode to recycle energy
to the input bus.
The ADP1972 high voltage, VIN supply pin can withstand a
maximum operating voltage of 60 V and reduces the need for
additional system supply voltages. The ADP1972 has integrated
features such as precision enable, pin selective buck or boost
mode operation, internal and external synchronization control
with programmable phase shift, programmable maximum duty
cycle, and programmable peak hiccup current limit. Additional
protection features include soft start to limit input inrush current
during startup, input voltage undervoltage lockout (UVLO),
and thermal shutdown (TSD). The ADP1972 also has a COMP
pin to provide external control of the PWM operation and a
FAULT pin that can be signaled to disable the DH and DL
outputs if a fault condition occurs externally to the ADP1972.
APPLICATIONS
PWM battery test systems with recycle capability including
hybrid vehicles, PCs, and camera batteries
Compatible with AD8450 constant voltage (CV) and constant
current (CC) monitors
The ADP1972 is available in a 16-lead TSSOP package.

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination.
In applications with high power dissipation and poor printed
circuit board (PCB) thermal resistance, the maximum ambient
temperature may need to be derated. In applications with
moderate power dissipation and low PCB thermal resistance,
the maximum ambient temperature can exceed the maximum
limit when the junction temperature is within specification
limits.
The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is dependent on the
ambient temperature (TA), the power dissipation of the device (PD),
and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the package (θJA).
Use the following equation to calculate the maximum junction
temperature (TJ) from the ambient temperature (TA) and power
dissipation (PD):
TJ = TA + (PD × θJA)
For additional information on thermal resistance, refer to
Application Note AN-000, Thermal Characteristics of IC
Assembly.
ESD CAUTION
THERMAL OPERATING RANGES
The ADP1972 can be damaged when the junction temperature
limits are exceeded. The maximum operating junction
temperature (TJ MAX) takes precedence over the maximum
operating ambient temperature (TA MAX). Monitoring ambient
temperature does not guarantee that the junction temperature
(TJ) is within the specified temperature limits.

Description
Logic Drive Low Output for External Low-Side MOSFET Driver.
Logic Drive High Output for External High-Side MOSFET Driver.
Internal Low Dropout (LDO) Voltage Regulator Output and Internal Bias Supply. A bypass capacitance of 1 µF or
greater from this pin to ground is required.
High Input Voltage Supply Pin. Bypass this pin with a 4.7 µF capacitor to ground.
Logic Enable Input. Drive EN logic low to shut down the device. Drive EN logic high to turn on the device.
Mode Select. Drive MODE logic low to place the device in boost/recycle mode. Drive MODE logic high to place
the device in buck/charge mode of operation.
Synchronization Pin. This pin is used as an input and synchronized to an external clock or used as an output
clock to synchronize with other channels.
Fault Input Pin. Signaled by an overcurrent protection (OCP) or overvoltage protection (OVP) fault condition on
the companion ASIC, AD8450. The ADP1972 is disabled until this pin is logic high.
Output Error Amplifier Signal from the companion ASIC, AD8450. This pin is the error input to the ADP1972 and
is compared internally to the linear ramp to produce the PWM signal. Do not leave this pin floating.
Soft Start Control Pin. A capacitor connected from SS to ground brings the output up slowly during power-up
and reduces the inrush current.
Maximum Duty Cycle Input. Connect an external resistor to ground to set the maximum duty cycle. If the 98%
internal maximum duty cycle is sufficient for the application, tie this pin to VREG. If DMAX is left floating, this
pin is internally tied to VREG.
Frequency Set Pin. Connect an external resistor between this pin and ground to set the frequency between
50 kHz and 300 kHz.
Synchronization Configuration Input. Drive VSCFG ≥ 4.53 V to configure SYNC as an output clock signal. Drive
VSCFG < 4.25 V to configure SYNC as an input. Connect a resistor to ground with 0.65 V < VSCFG < 4.25 V to
introduce a phase shift to the synchronized clock. Drive VSCFG ≤ 0.5 V to configure SYNC as an input with no
phase shift so that it synchronizes the device to an external clock source. If SCFG is left floating, the SYNC pin
is internally tied to VREG, and SYNC is configured as an output.
Power and Analog Ground Pin.
Ground Sense for the Current-Limit Setting Resistor.
Current-Limit Programming Pin. Connect a current-limit sense resistor in series with the FET source to set the
peak current limit.

SUPPLY PINS
The ADP1972 has two voltage supply pins, VIN and VREG.
The VIN pin operates from an external supply that ranges from
6 V to 60 V and is the supply voltage for the internal LDO
regulator of the ADP1972. Bypass the VIN pin to ground with a
4.7 µF or greater ceramic capacitor.
The VREG pin is the output of the internal LDO regulator. The
internal LDO regulator generates the 5 V (typical) rail that is
used internally to bias the control circuitry and can be used
externally as a pull-up voltage for the MODE, SYNC, DMAX,
and FAULT pins. Bypass the VREG pin to ground with a 1 µF
ceramic capacitor.
When operating with an input voltage above 50 V, additional
input filtering is necessary. Figure 17 shows the recommended
filter configuration.

The ADP1972 is a constant frequency, voltage mode, PWM
controller for buck or boost, dc-to-dc, asynchronous
applications with an external, high voltage FET, half bridge
driver, and an external error signal generating device, such as
the AD8450. The ADP1972 has a high input voltage range,
multiple externally programmed control pins, and integrated
safety features.

ADP1972
EN/SHUTDOWN
OPERATING MODES
The EN input turns the ADP1972 on or off. The EN pin of the
ADP1972 can operate from voltages up to 60 V and is designed
with stable ±20% thresholds for precision enable control. When
the EN voltage is less than 1.22 V (typical), the ADP1972 shuts
down, driving both DL and DH low. When the ADP1972 is shut
down, the VIN supply current is 15 μA (typical). When the EN
voltage is greater than 1.25 V (typical), the ADP1972 is enabled.
The ADP1972 can be programmed to operate as an asynchronous
boost or as an asynchronous buck. If the MODE pin is driven
low by less than 1.05 V (typical), then the ADP1972 operates in
a boost configuration. A boost configuration is ideal for power
recycling and discharging in battery charging applications.
When the MODE pin is driven high by greater than 1.20 V
(typical), the ADP1972 operates in a buck configuration for
battery charging. See Figure 19 and Figure 20 for the ADP1972
behavior in each mode. When the ADP1972 is enabled, the
internal LDO regulator connected to the VREG pin also powers up.
On the rising edge of VREG, the state of the MODE pin is latched,
preventing the mode of operation from being changed while the
device is enabled. To change between boost and buck modes of
operation, shutdown or disable the ADP1972, adjust the MODE
pin to change the operating mode, and restart the system.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
There is internal UVLO for the VIN pin. When VIN rises, the
UVLO does not allow the ADP1972 to turn on unless VIN is
greater than 5.71 V (typical). When VIN falls, the UVLO disables
the device when VIN drops below 5.34 V (typical). The UVLO
prevents potentially erratic operation of the application at low
input voltages that may damage the ADP1972 and the external
circuitry. The UVLO levels have ~370 mV of hysteresis to ensure
glitch free startup.
SOFT START
The ADP1972 is equipped with a programmable soft start that
prevents output voltage overshoot during startup. When the
ADP1972 is enabled with the EN pin, the VREG voltage begins
rising to 5 V. When VREG reaches 90% of its 5 V (typical) value,
the 5 μA (typical) internal soft start current (ISS) begins charging
the soft start capacitor (CSS), causing the voltage on the SS pin
(VSS) to rise. While VSS is less than 0.52 V (typical), the ADP1972
switching control remains disabled.
The operating mode can be changed when the EN pin is driven
low, the FAULT pin is driven low, or the ADP1972 is disabled
via a TSD event or UVLO condition. On the rising edge of the
FAULT control signal, the state of the MODE pin is latched,
preventing the mode of operation from being changed while the
device is enabled.

When VSS reaches 0.52 V (typical), switching is enabled, and
regulation of the ADP1972 control loop begins. As CSS continues
to charge and VSS rises, the PWM duty cycle gradually increases,
allowing the output voltage to rise linearly with little to no overshoot during startup. CSS charges and VSS rises until VSS reaches
the internal VREG voltage (5 V typical). When the internal system
duty cycle is less than the soft start duty cycle, the internal control
loop takes control of the ADP1972. See Figure 18 for a soft start
diagram.
There is an active, internal, pull-down resistor on the SS pin
that discharges CSS when the device shuts down to prevent a

ADP1972
Data Sheet
The ADP1972 has two output drive signals, DH and DL, that
are compatible with drivers similar to the IR2110S.
The drive signal DL is active when the MODE pin is logic low
and the ADP1972 is configured in the boost/recycle mode. The
DL drive signal turns on and off the low-side switch driven from
the external driver. While in the boost/recycle mode, the DH
signal is driven low to prevent the high-side switch from turning
on and only allows the body diode to conduct.
The drive signal DH is active when the MODE pin is logic high
and the ADP1972 is configured in the buck/charge mode. The
DH drive signal turns on and off the high-side switch driven
from the external driver. While in the buck/charge mode, the
DL signal is driven low to prevent the low-side switch from
turning on, and it only allows the body diode to conduct.
When driving capacitive loads with the DH and DL pins, a
20 Ω resistor must be placed in series with the capacitive load
to reduce ground noise and ensure signal integrity.
EXTERNAL COMP CONTROL
The ADP1972 COMP pin is the input to the error amplifier that
controls the PWM output on the DH pin or DL pin. The ADP1972
uses voltage mode control that compares an error signal, applied to
the COMP pin by an external device, such as the AD8450, to an
internal 4 V p-p triangle waveform. As the load changes, the error
signal increases or decreases. The internal PWM comparator
determines the appropriate duty cycle drive signal by monitoring
the error signal at the COMP pin and the internal 4 V p-p ramp
signal. The internal PWM comparator subsequently drives the
external gate driver at the determined duty cycle through the DH
and DL drive control pins.
The functional voltage range of the COMP pin is from 0 V to
5.0 V. If VCOMP is less than 0.5 V (typical), the DH and DL
outputs are disabled. If VCOMP is between 0.5 V and 4.5 V, the
ADP1972 regulates the DH and DL outputs accordingly. If
VCOMP is greater than 4.5 V, the ADP1972 operates the DH and
DL outputs at the maximum programmed duty cycle (98%
default). The input to the COMP pin must never exceed the
5.5 V absolute maximum rating.
When the SS pin exceeds 0.52 V (typical), the ADP1972 resumes
PWM regulation.

current limit protection.

Figure 21. Current Limit Block Diagram
PWM FREQUENCY CONTROL
The FREQ, SYNC, and SCFG pins are all used to determine the
source, frequency, and synchronization of the clock signal that
operates the PWM control of the ADP1972.
Internal Frequency Control
The ADP1972 frequency can be programmed with an external
resistor connected between FREQ and ground. The range of
frequency can be set from a minimum of 50 kHz to a maximum
of 300 kHz. If the SCFG pin is tied to VREG, forcing VSCFG ≥ 4.53 V,
or if the SCFG pin is left floating, the SYNC pin is configured as
an output, and the ADP1972 operates at the frequency set by
RFREQ, which outputs from the SYNC pin through the open drain
device. The output clock of the SYNC pin operates with a 50%
(typical) duty cycle. In this configuration, the SYNC pin can be
used to synchronize other switching regulators in the system to
the ADP1972. When the SYNC pin is configured as an output,
an external pull-up resistor is needed from the SYNC pin to an
external supply. The VREG pin of the ADP1972 is used as the
external supply rail for the pull-up resistor.
External Frequency Control
CURRENT LIMIT
When VSCFG ≤ 0.5 V, the SYNC pin is configured as an input,
and the ADP1972 synchronizes to the external clock applied to
the SYNC pin and operates as a slave device. This synchronization
allows the ADP1972 to operate at the same switching frequency
with the same phase as other switching regulators or devices in
the system. When operating the ADP1972 with an external
clock, select RFREQ to provide a frequency that approximates but
is not equal to the external clock frequency, which is further
explained in the Applications Information section.
The ADP1972 features a peak hiccup current limit implementation.
When the peak inductor current exceeds the programmed current
limit for more than 500 consecutive clock cycles, 5.2 ms (typical)
for a 100 kHz programmed frequency, the peak hiccup current
limit condition occurs. PWM regulation of the output voltage
then disables for 500 clock cycles, which is enough time for the
output to discharge, and the average power dissipation to reduce.
When the 500 clock cycles have expired, the ADP1972 restarts.
When the voltage applied to the SCFG pin is 0.65 V < VSCFG <
4.25 V, the SYNC pin is configured as an input, and the ADP1972
synchronizes to a phase shifted version of the external clock
applied to the SYNC pin. To adjust the phase shift, place a
resistor (RSCFG) from SCFG to ground. The phase shift reduces
the input supply ripple for systems containing multiple
switching power supplies.
The DL and DH signals swing from VREG (5 V typical) to ground.
The external FET driver used must have input control pins
compatible with a 5 V logic signal.

ADP1972
MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE
The maximum duty cycle of the ADP1972 can be externally
programmed to any value between 0% and 98% via an external
resistor on the DMAX pin connected from DMAX to ground.
The maximum duty cycle defaults to 98% if DMAX is left
floating, is tied to VREG, or is programmed to a value greater
than 98%.
EXTERNAL FAULT SIGNALING
The ADP1972 is equipped with a FAULT pin that signals the
ADP1972 when an external fault condition occurs. The external
fault signal stops PWM operation of the system to avoid damage to
the application and components. When a voltage less than 1.05
V (typical) is applied to the FAULT pin, the ADP1972 disables.
In this state, the DL and DH PWM drive signals are both driven
low to prevent switching of the system dc-to-dc converter, and
the soft start is reset. When a voltage greater than 1.20 V
(typical) is applied to the FAULT pin, the ADP1972 begins
switching. A voltage ranging from 0 V to 60 V can be applied to
the FAULT pin of the ADP1972.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN (TSD)
The ADP1972 has a TSD protection circuit. The thermal
shutdown triggers and disables switching when the junction
temperature of the ADP1972 reaches 150°C (typical). While in
TSD, the DL and DH signals are driven low and the CSS capacitor
discharges to ground. VREG remains high. When the junction
temperature decreases to 135°C (typical), the ADP1972 restarts
the application control loop.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The ADP1972 has many programmable features that are
optimized and controlled for a given application. The ADP1972
provides pins for selecting the operating mode, controlling the
current limit, selecting an internal or external clock, setting the
operating frequency, phase shifting the operating frequency,
programming the maximum duty cycle, and adjusting the
soft start.
ADJUSTING THE OPERATING FREQUENCY
BUCK OR BOOST SELECTION
If VSCFG is ≤ 0.5 V, the SYNC pin is configured as an input,
and the ADP1972 operates as a slave device. As a slave device,
the ADP1972 synchronizes to the external clock applied to
the SYNC pin. If the voltage applied to the SCFG pin is
0.65 V < VSCFG < 4.25 V, and a resistor is connected between
SCFG and ground, the SYNC pin is configured as an input,
and the ADP1972 synchronizes to a phase shifted version of the
external clock applied to the SYNC pin.
To operate the ADP1972 in boost/recycle mode, apply a voltage
less than 1.05 V (typical) to the MODE pin. To operate the
ADP1972 in buck/discharge mode, drive the MODE pin high,
greater than 1.2 V (typical). The state of the MODE pin can
only be changed when the ADP1972 is shutdown via the EN
pin, or disabled via an external fault condition signaled on the
FAULT pin, a TSD event, or a UVLO condition.
SELECTING RS TO SET THE CURRENT LIMIT
Whether operating the ADP1972 as a master or as a slave
device, RFREQ must be carefully selected using the equations in
the following sections.
See Figure 21 for the current-limit block diagram for peak
current-limit control. Use using the following equation to set
the current limit:

RS is the sense resistor used to set the peak current limit in Ω.
When the ADP1972 is configured to operate in buck/charge
mode, the internal current-limit reference is set to 300 mV
(typical). When the ADP1972 is configured to operate in
boost/recycle mode, the internal current-limit reference is set to
500 mV (typical). The external resistor, RCL, is needed to offset
the current properly to detect the peak in both buck and boost
operation. Set the value of RCL to 20 kΩ. In operation, the
equation for setting the peak current follows:

When VSCFG is ≥ 4.53 V, the ADP1972 operates as a master device.
When functioning as a master device, the ADP1972 operates at
the frequency set by the external RFREQ resistor connected between
FREQ and ground, and the ADP1972 outputs a clock at the
programmed frequency on the SYNC pin.

If the SCFG pin is tied to VREG, forcing VSCFG ≥ 4.53 V, or if

output clock on the SYNC pin can be used as a master clock in
applications that require synchronization.

Use the following equation to calculate the RFREQ value for a

ADP1972
Selecting RFREQ for a Slave Device
To configure the ADP1972 as a slave device, drive VSCFG < 4.53 V.
When functioning as a slave device, the ADP1972 operates at
the frequency of the external clock applied to the SYNC pin. To
ensure proper synchronization, select RFREQ to set the frequency
to a value slightly slower than that of the master clock by using
the following equation:
RFREQ (SLAVE) = 1.11 × RFREQ (MASTER)
(5)
where:
RFREQ (MASTER) is the resistor value that corresponds to the
frequency of the master clock applied to the SYNC pin.
RFREQ (SLAVE) is the resistor value that appropriately scales the
frequency for the slave device, and 1.11 is the RFREQ slave to
master ratio for synchronization.
Lastly, to calculate the phase delay (TDELAY), use the following
equation:
RSCFG (kΩ) = 0.45 × RFREQ (SLAVE) (kΩ) + 50 × TDELAY (μs)
where:
RSCFG is the corresponding resistor for the desired phase shift
in kHz.
When using the phase shift feature, connect a capacitor of 47 pF
or greater in parallel with RSCFG.
Alternatively, the SCFG pin can be controlled with a voltage
source. When using an independent voltage source, ensure
VSCFG ≤ VREG under all conditions. When the ADP1972 is
disabled via the EN pin or UVLO, VREG = 0 V, and the voltage
source must adjust accordingly to ensure VSCFG ≤ VREG.
Figure 23 shows the internal voltage ramp of the ADP1972. The
voltage ramp has a well controlled 4 V p-p.

If a phase shift is not required for slave devices, connect SCFG
of each slave device to ground. For devices that require a phase
shifted version of the synchronization clock that is applied to
the SYNC pin of the slave devices, connect a resistor (RSCFG)
from SCFG to ground to program the desired phase shift. To
determine the RSCFG for a desired phase shift (φSHIFT), start by
calculating the frequency of the slave clock (fSLAVE).

PROGRAMMING THE MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE
The ADP1972 is designed with a 98% (typical) internal
maximum duty cycle. By connecting a resistor from DMAX to
ground, the maximum duty cycle can be programmed at any
value from 0% to 98%, using the following equation:
D MAX %  

where:
TSLAVE is the period of the master clock in μs.
fSLAVE is the frequency of the master clock in kHz.

where:
TDELAY is the phase delay in μs.
φSHIFT is the desired phase shift.

(10)
where:
DMAX is the programmed maximum duty cycle.
VFREQ is 1.252 V (typical).
RDMAX is the value of the resistance used to program the
maximum duty cycle.
RFREQ is the frequency set resistor used in the application.
The current source of DMAX is equivalent to the programmed
current of the FREQ pin:
Next, determine the phase time delay (TDELAY) for the desired
phase shift (φSHIFT) using the following equation:
TDELAY μs  
21.5  VFREQ  RDMAX
(6)
RFREQ(SLAVE)
Next, calculate the period of the slave clock.
TSLAVE μs  
11884-027
The frequency of the slave device is set to a frequency slightly
lower than that of the master device to allow the digital
synchronization loop of the ADP1972 to synchronize to the
master clock period. The slave device has approximately a 30%
range capability to adjust to match the master clock value.
Setting RFREQ (SLAVE) to 1.11× larger than RFREQ (MASTER) runs the
synchronization loop in approximately the center of the
adjustment range.

where IDMAX = IFREQ = the current programmed on the

The maximum allowable duty cycle of the ADP1972 is 98%
(typical). If the resistor on DMAX sets a maximum duty cycle
larger than 98%, the ADP1972 defaults to its internal
maximum. If the 98% internal maximum duty cycle is sufficient
for the application, tie the DMAX pin to VREG or leave it floating.
The CDMAX capacitor connected from the DMAX pin to GND
must be 47 pF or greater.

ADJUSTING THE SOFT START PERIOD
The ADP1972 has a programmable soft start feature that
prevents output voltage overshoot during startup. Refer to

A CSS capacitor is not required for the ADP1972. When the CSS
capacitor is not used, the internal 5 µA (typical) current source
immediately pulls the SS pin voltage to VREG. When a CSS
capacitor is not used, there is no soft start control internal to the
ADP1972, and the system could produce a large output overshoot
and a large peak inductor spike during startup. When a CSS is
not used, ensure that the output overshoot is not large enough
to trip the hiccup current limit during startup.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
•
When building a system with a master and multiple slave
devices, the capacitance of the trace attached to the SYNC
pin must be minimized.
o For small systems with only a few slave devices, a
resistor connected in series between the master SYNC
signal and the slave SYNC input pins limits the
capacitance of the trace and reduces the fast ground
currents that can inject noise into the master device.
o For larger applications, the series resistance is not
enough to isolate the master SYNC clock. In larger
systems, use an external buffer to reduce the
capacitance of the trace. The external buffer has the
drive capability to support a large number of slave
devices.
Use the following guidelines when designing the PCB (see
Figure 16 for the block diagram and Figure 2 for the pin
configuration).
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the low effective series resistance (ESR) input supply
capacitor for VIN (CIN) as close as possible to the VIN and
GND pins to minimize noise being injected into the device
from board parasitic inductance.
Keep the low ESR input supply capacitor for VREG (CVREG)
as close as possible to the VREG and GND pins to
minimize noise being injected into the device from board
parasitic inductance.
Place the components for the SCFG, FREQ, DMAX, and SS
pins close to the corresponding pins. Tie these components
collectively to an AGND plane that makes a Kelvin connection
to the GND pin.
Keep the trace from the COMP pin to the accompanying
device (for example, AD8450) as short as possible. Avoid
routing this trace near switching signals and shield the
trace if possible.
Place any trace or components for the SYNC pin away from
sensitive analog nodes. When using an external pull-up, it is
best to use a local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor from the supply
of the pull-up resistor to GND.
Keep the traces from the DH and DL pins to the external
components as short as possible to minimize parasitic
inductance and capacitance, which affect the control
signal. The DH and DL pins are switching nodes; do not
route them near any sensitive analog circuitry.
Keep high current traces as short and as wide as possible.
Connect the ground connection of the ADP1972 directly
to the ground connection of the current sense, RS, resistor.
Connect CL through a 20 kΩ resistor directly to RS.
Use a Kelvin connection shown in Figure 24 and Figure 25
from the following:
o The GND pin to the ground point for RS
o The GNDSENSE pin to the ground point for RS
o The system power ground to the ground point of RS
Extra resistance due to PCB routing introduces a voltage
difference between the GND pin and the GNDSENSE pin.
This voltage difference must not exceed ±0.3 V.
