ACT334
Product Brief, 15-Apr-11
High Performance ActivePSRTM Primary Switching Regulator
over temperature conditions.
The ACT334 ActivePSRTM is optimized for high
FEATURES
• Ultra Low Standby Power < 30mW
performance, cost-sensitive applications, and
utilizes Active-Semi’s proprietary primary-side
feedback architecture to provide accurate constant
voltage, constant current (CV/CC) regulation
without the need of an opto-coupler or reference
device. Integrated line and primary inductance
compensation circuitry provides accurate constant
current operation despite wide variations in line
voltage and primary inductance. Integrated output
cord resistance compensation further enhances
output accuracy. The ACT334 achieves excellent
regulation and transient response, yet requires less
than 30mW of standby power.
• Patented Primary Side Regulation
Technology
• Suitable Operation Frequency up to 85kHZ
• Proprietary Fast Startup Circuit
• Integrated Line and Primary Inductance
Compensation
• Integrated Programmable Output Cord
Resistance Compensation
• Line Under-Voltage, Output Over-Voltage,

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT334 belongs to the high performance
patented ActivePSRTM Family of Universal-input
AC/DC off-line controllers for battery charger and
adapter applications. It is designed for flyback
topology working in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM). The ACT334 meets all of the global energy
efficiency regulations (CEC, European Blue Angel,
and US Energy Star standards) while using very
few external components.
The ACT334 ensures safe operation with complete
protection against all fault conditions. Built-in
protection circuitry is provided for output short-
circuit, output over-voltage, line under-voltage, and
Innovative PowerTM
