The ACT4910 device is a highly integrated power loss
protection IC. It provides backup storage power in the
event of an input power failure. A built-in boost
converter provides high voltage energy storage to
minimize storage capacitor size requirements. The
built-in buck converter regulates the storage voltage to
a fixed output voltage. It contains internal, back-to-
back eFuse FETs to provide bi-directional input to
output isolation. The IC also provides hot swap and
inrush current control.
The ACT4910 is very flexible and can easily be
configured with I2C and external components. It
features programmable storage capacitor voltage to
optimize the storage capacitor sizing and system run
time. The internal ADC and health monitoring provide
an extra layer of protection and improve system
reliability and early capacitor failure notification. It
automatically checks the storage capacitor health and
notifies the user when the energy in the storage caps
is not sufficient for backup power. The ADC also
measures the input voltage, output voltage, storage
voltage, eFuse current, and die temperature. The built-
in synchronous buck converter maximizes energy
transfer from the storage caps to the system.
eFuse, Boost, and Buck UV/OV/OC Protection
Thermal Alert and Protection
Thermal Enhanced FCQFN 5x5-28 package
ACT4910 provides an I2C bus interface to allow MCU
control and monitoring. There are supervisor monitors
for the input voltage, output voltage, and storage
voltage. It is available with the thermal enhanced QFN
5x5 28 pins package.
