Advanced Information―All Information Subject to Change
Six Channel Integrated Power Management IC
for Handheld Portable Equipment
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The patent-pending ACT8798 is a complete, cost-
effective, highly-efficient ActivePMUTM power man-
agement solution that is ideal for a wide range of
portable handheld equipment. This device inte-
grates three step-down DC/DC converters and
three low dropout linear regulators (LDOs) into a
single, thin, space-saving package. An I2C Serial
Interface provides programmability for the DC/DC
converters and LDOs.
• Multiple Patents Pending
• Six Integrated Regulators
− 1.2A PWM Step-Down DC/DC
− 1.2A PWM Step-Down DC/DC
− 750mA PWM Step-Down DC/DC
− 250mA Low Noise LDO
− 250mA Low Noise LDO
− 250mA Low Noise LDO
• I2CTM Compatible Serial Interface
− Programmable Output Voltages
− Configurable Operating Modes
REG1, REG2 and REG3 are fixed-frequency, cur-
rent-mode PWM step-down DC/DC converters that
are optimized for high efficiency and are capable of
supplying up to 1.2A, 1.2A and 750mA, respec-
tively. REG4, REG5 and REG6 are low noise, high
PSRR linear regulators that are capable of supply-
• Minimal External Components
• 4x4mm, Thin-QFN (TQFN44-24) Package
− Only 0.75mm Height
ing up to 250mA each.
The ACT8798 is available in a tiny 4mm x 4mm
24-pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin.
− RoHS Compliant
APPLICATIONS
• Portable Devices and PDAs
• Wireless Handhelds
• DMB Enabled Devices
• GPS Receivers, etc.
