The ADP1974 is designed for use in battery testing,formation, and conditioning applications with an external, highvoltage field effect transistor (FET) half bridge driver, and anexternal control device such as the AD8450/AD8451. The deviceoperates as a buck converter in battery charge mode and as a boostconverter in discharge mode to recycle energy to the input bus.The ADP1974 high voltage VIN supply pin can withstand amaximum operating voltage of 60 V and reduces the need foradditional system supply voltages. The ADP1974 has integratedfeatures such as precision enable, internal and externalsynchronization control with programmable phase shift,programmable maximum duty cycle, dead time control, and peakhiccup current-limit protection. Additional protection featuresinclude soft start to limit input inrush current during startup,precision enable, and thermal shutdown (TSD). The ADP1974also has a COMP pin to provide external control of the PWMduty cycle and a FAULT pin that can disable the DH and DLoutputs. These functions are compatible with the AD8450/AD8451analog front-end (AFE) error amplifiers.APPLICATIONSSingle and multicell battery formation and testingHigh efficiency battery test systems with recycle capabilityBattery conditioning (charging and discharging) systemsCompatible with AD8450/AD8451 constant voltage (CV) andconstant current (CC) analog front end error amplifierThe ADP1974 is available in a 16-lead TSSOP package and ispin-compatible with the ADP1972.TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUITBATTERY CHARGER SYSTEM CFG 24V RECYLCING DC BUSON/OFFDHENADP1974MODEISET ETPOINT 24VGNDSS12699-001BVP0 BVN0 ISVN ISVP –– NOTES1.

Internal Block DiagramThe ADP1974 is a constant frequency, voltage mode, synchronous,PWM controller for bidirectional dc-to-dc applications. TheADP1974 is designed to be used with an external, high voltageFET half bridge driver, such as the ADuM7223, and an externalerror amplifier AFE device, such as the AD8450/AD8451, toimplement a battery testing, charging, and discharging system.The ADP1974 has a high input voltage range, multiple externallyprogrammed control pins, and integrated safety features. Inbuck mode, the device charges a battery and delivers energyfrom the input power source to the output. In boost mode, thedevice discharges a battery and delivers energy from the batteryto the input. In both modes, the ADP1974 operates as asynchronous controller for maximum efficiency.SUPPLY PINSThe ADP1974 has two voltage supply pins, VIN and VREG.The VIN pin operates from an external supply that ranges from6 V to 60 V and is the supply voltage for the internal linearregulator of the ADP1974. Bypass the VIN pin to ground with a4.7 μF or greater ceramic capacitor.The VREG pin is the output of the internal linear regulator. Theinternal regulator generates the 5 V (typical) rail that is usedinternally to bias the control circuitry and can be used externallyas a pull-up voltage for the MODE, SYNC, DMAX, and FAULTpins. Bypass the VREG pin to ground with a 1 μF ceramiccapacitor. VREG is disabled when EN is low and is active aslong as VIN is above the internal UVLO (5.71 V typical) andEN is high.Rev. 0 Page 10 of 19

Data SheetADP1974When operating with an input voltage above 50 V, additionalinput filtering is recommended. Figure 21 shows therecommended filter configuration.When the device shuts down or a fault is detected, an activeinternal 1 kΩ pull-down resistor on the SS pin discharges YNCHRONOUSOPERATIONFigure 21. Recommended Filter Configuration forInput Voltages Greater than 50 V0.52V0VEN/SHUTDOWNThe EN input turns the ADP1974 on or off and can operatefrom voltages up to 60 V. The EN pin is designed with precisionenable control. When the EN voltage is less than 1.22 V (typical),the ADP1974 shuts down, VREG is disabled, and both DL andDH are driven low. When the ADP1974 shuts down, the VINsupply current is 15 μA (typical). When the EN voltage is greaterthan 1.25 V (typical), the ADP1974 is enabled, and VREG rampsto 5 V.ENABLEADP1974BEGINREGULATION12699-020RSUPPLY 50VFigure 22. Soft Start DiagramIn addition to the EN pin, the device can be disabled via a faultcondition indicated by an internal TSD event, a UVLO conditionon VIN, or an external fault condition signaled via the FAULT pin.It is necessary to disable the device to change the operatingmode from buck to boost.The MODE pin controls the ADP1974 duty cycle generator andaffects the DL and DH signals during soft start. In buck mode,a DH pulse initiates the on time (or Phase 1). In boost mode, aDL pulse initiates the on time. For more information aboutbuck vs. boost operation, see the Operating Modes section.During soft start, the ADP1974 operates in asynchronous mode,and the synchronous FET is not driven. During the off cycle, thediode in parallel to the low-side FET (buck mode) or the highside FET (boost mode) conducts the current until it reaches zeroor the next cycle begins. After the soft start period is completed(SS 4.5 V), the ADP1974 switches to full synchronous mode.UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)OPERATING MODESThe UVLO function prevents the IC from turning on when theinput voltage is below the specified operating range to avoid anundesired operating mode. When VIN rises, the UVLO doesnot allow the ADP1974 to turn on unless VIN is greater than5.71 V (typical). The UVLO disables the device when VINdrops below 5.34 V (typical). The UVLO levels have 370 mVof hysteresis to prevent the system from turning on and offrepeatedly when there is a slow voltage ramp on the VIN pin.The ADP1974 operates as a synchronous buck or boost controller.When the MODE pin is driven high, above the 1.20 V (typical)threshold, the ADP1974 operates in a buck configuration forbattery charging. If the MODE pin is driven low, below the1.05 V (typical) threshold, the ADP1974 operates in a boostconfiguration. A boost configuration is ideal for dischargingin battery formation applications. See Figure 23 and Figure 24for the ADP1974 behavior in each mode. When the ADP1974is enabled, the internal regulator connected to the VREG pin alsopowers up. On the rising edge of VREG, the state of the MODE pinis latched, preventing the mode of operation from being changedwhile the device is enabled. To change between boost and buckmodes of operation, shut down or disable the ADP1974, adjust theMODE pin to change the operating mode, and restart the system.SOFT STARTThe ADP1974 has a programmable soft start that preventsoutput voltage overshoot during startup. When the ADP1974 isenabled 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 softstart capacitor (CSS), causing the voltage on the SS pin (VSS) to rise.While VSS is less than 0.52 V (typical), the ADP1974 switchingcontrol remains disabled. When VSS reaches 0.52 V (typical),switching is enabled. As CSS continues to charge and VSS rises, thePWM duty cycle gradually increases, allowing the outputvoltage to rise linearly. CSS continues to charge, and VSS rises tothe internal VREG voltage (5 V typical). When the system dutycycle set by COMP is less than the soft start duty cycle, the externalcontrol loop takes control of the ADP1974. See Figure 22 for asoft start diagram.The operating mode can be changed when the EN pin is drivenlow, the FAULT pin is driven low, or the ADP1974 is disabledvia a TSD event or UVLO condition. On the rising edge of theFAULT control signal, the state of the MODE pin is latched,preventing the mode of operation from being changed whilethe device is enabled.Rev. 0 Page 11 of 19

If VCOMP is between 0.5 V and 4.5 V, the ADP1974 regulatesthe DH and DL outputs accordingly. If VCOMP is greater than4.5 V, the ADP1974 operates the DH and DL outputs at themaximum programmed duty cycle (or 97% whichever is thelowest). If VCOMP is less than 0.45 V, the ADP1974 operates theDH or DL output at a 0% duty cycle, according to the operatingmode, while the complementary DL or DH output is driven at a100% duty cycle. The input to the COMP pin must neverexceed the 5.5 V absolute maximum rating.The DL and DH signals swing from VREG (5 V typical) toground. The external FET driver used must have input controlpins compatible with a 5 V logic signal.0.5V0VVREG (5V TYPICAL)PEAK CURRENT-LIMIT HICCUP IMPLEMENTATION0VDL0V12699-022VREG (5V TYPICAL)Figure 24.

Connect a resistor to ground onthe DT pin to program the dead time.The ADP1974 features a peak hiccup current-limit implementationmeasured on the low-side FET across a sense resistor. When thepeak inductor current exceeds the programmed current limitfor more than 500 consecutive clock cycles, 5.2 ms (typical) fora 100 kHz programmed frequency, the peak hiccup currentlimit condition occurs. If the overcurrent exist for less than500 consecutive cycles, the counter is reset to zero. When theovercurrent condition occurs, the SS pin is discharged througha 1 kΩ resistor, and the drive signals, DL and DH, are disabledfor the next 500 clock cycles to allow the FETs to cool down (hiccupmode). When the 500 clock cycles expire, the ADP1974 restartsthrough a new soft start cycle.Figure 26 shows the current-limit block diagram for peak currentlimit protection.H BUCKL 2699-023DLHFigure 25. Dead Time (tDEAD) Between DH and DL TransitionsWhen driving capacitive loads with the DH and DL pins, a 20 Ωresistor must be placed in series with the capacitive load to reduceground noise and ensure signal integrity.EXTERNAL COMP CONTROLThe ADP1974 COMP pin is the input to the PWM modulatorcomparator. The ADP1974 uses a voltage mode control thatcompares an error signal, applied to the COMP pin by anexternal error amplifier, such as the AD8450/AD8451, to aninternal 4 V p-p triangle waveform.
