GENERAL DESCRIPTION
− Integrated Current Control Improves
Efficiency, Lowers Cost, and Reduces
Component Count
ACT4513 is a wide input voltage, high efficiency
Active CC step-down DC/DC converter that
operates in either CV (Constant Output Voltage)
mode or CC (Constant Output Current) mode.
ACT4513 provides up to 2A output current at
210kHz switching frequency.
• Resistor Programmable
− Current Limit from 750mA to 2A
− Patented Cable Compensation from 0Ω to
Active CC is a patent-pending control scheme to
achieve highest accuracy sensorless constant
current control. Active CC eliminates the expensive,
high accuracy current sense resistor, making it ideal
for battery charging applications and adaptors with
accurate current limit. The ACT4513 achieves
higher efficiency than traditional constant current
switching regulators by eliminating its associated
power loss.
0.5Ω
• ±7.5% CC Accuracy
− Compensation of Input /Output Voltage Change
− Temperature Compensation
− Independent of inductance and Inductor DCR
• 2% Feedback Voltage Accuracy
• Up to 93% Efficiency
• 210kHz Switching Frequency Eases EMI Design
• Advanced Feature Set
Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current
limit, thermal shutdown, and frequency foldback at
short circuit. The devices are available in a SOP-
8EP package and require very few external devices
for operation.
