The user can select a different switching frequency by removing
R10 and R11 and then choosing R1 based on Figure 4. The
board is configured for the 500 kHz setting by default. Figure 5
and Figure 7 show how the switching frequency affects the
supply’s efficiency with either transformer installed. Figure 6
shows how the efficiency curve varies over temperature with a
500 kHz switching frequency.

OTHER INPUT AND ISOLATED OUTPUT SUPPLY
OPTIONS
The single supply can be configured to have a 3.3 V secondary
isolated supply with a 3.3 V or 5 V primary input supply. Short-
circuiting R4 by soldering a 0 Ω, 0805 resistor to R9 sets the
output supply for 3.3 V. The voltage at the feedback node (the
FB pin of the
ADuM3070
) should be the desired output voltage
divided to approximately 1.25 V. Having R9 open-circuited sets
the secondary isolated supply to 5 V, and having it short-circuited
sets the supply to 3.3 V. See the
ADuM3070
data sheet for more
details on setting the secondary isolated output supply voltage.
Figure 8 shows how the single supply efficiency curve changes
when it is reconfigured for either of these supply options.
