The EVAL-ADUM3190S supports the ADuM3190s isolated error amplifier based on Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology. The ADUM3190S is ideal for linear feedback power supplies with primary side controllers enabling improvements in transient response, power density, and stability as compared to commonly used optocoupler and shunt regulator solutions. Included in the ADUM3190S is a wideband operational amplifier that can be used to set up a variety of commonly used power supply loop compensation techniques. The ADUM3190S is fast enough to allow a feedback loop to react to fast transient conditions and over current conditions. Also included is a high accuracy 1.225 V reference to compare with the supply output set point.
Complete specifications for the ADUM3190S are provided in the ADUM3190S data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and should be consulted in conjunction with this Wiki user guide when using the evaluation board.
The EVAL-ADUM3190S board, shown in Figure 1, can be used to evaluate the performance and data sheet specifications of the ADUM3190S. Figure 2 shows the schematic of the EVAL-ADUM3190S circuit which can be used to test the accuracy of the ADUM3190S and perform other tests. The EVAL-ADUM3190S is a 4-layer PC board, complete with ground and power layers as shown in the Evaluation Board Schematics and Artwork section.

Figure 2 shows the ADuM3190 schematic of the EVAL-ADUM3190S evaluation board. U1 is the ADuM3190 in the center of the board and Pin 1 is the top-left pad with respect to the notch in the silkscreen’s package outline. C1, C2, C3, and C4 are ceramic 0603 1 μF bypass capacitors provided for proper bypassing of the ADuM3190 internal 3 V regulators on both sides of part. Also added to the board are 10 μF 0805 ceramic capacitors to the VDD1 and VDD2 connections to provide additional bypassing in case long wires are used from power supplies to the evaluation board. Test point connectors are provided for most of the important connections to pins of the ADuM3190. The following sections describe connections to make to power the EVAL-ADUM3190S and make performance tests.
