ACT361
Product Brief, 15-Apr-11
High Performance ActivePSRTM Primary Switching Regulator
The ACT361 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
over temperature conditions.
FEATURES
• Patented Primary Side Regulation
Technology
• No Opto-Coupler
The ACT361 ActivePSRTM is optimized for high
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 ACT361 achieves excellent
regulation and transient response, yet requires less
than 150mW of standby power.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ACT361
The ACT361 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 ACT361 meets all of the global energy
efficiency regulations (CEC, European Blue Angel,
and US Energy Star standards) while using very
few external components.
