Nine Channel ActivePathTM Power Management IC
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• ActivePathTM Li+ Charger with System Power
The ACT8935 is a complete, cost effective, highly-
efficient ActivePMUTM power management solution
that is ideal for a wide range of high performance
portable handheld applications such as personal
navigation devices (PNDs). This device integrates
the ActivePathTM complete battery charging and
management system with seven power supply
channels.
Selection
• Seven Integrated Regulators
− 2×900mA High Efficiency Step-Down
DC/DCs
− 700mA High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC
− 4×150mA Low Noise, High PSRR LDOs
• Flexible Interrupt Control
The ActivePath architecture automatically selects
the best available input supply for the system. If the
external input source is not present or the system
load current is more than the input source can
provide, the ActivePath supplies additional current
from the battery to the system. The charger is a
complete, thermally-regulated, stand-alone single-
cell Li+ charger.
• I2CTM Serial Interface
• Minimal External Components
• Compatible with USB or AC-Adapter Charging
• 5x5mm, Thin-QFN (TQFN55-40) Package
− Only 0.75mm Height,
− RoHS Compliant
REG1, REG2, and REG3 are fixed-frequency,
current-mode step-down DC/DC converters. REG1
and REG3 are capable of supplying up to 900mA of
output current, while REG2 supports up to 700mA.
REG4, REG5, REG6, and REG7 are high
performance, low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators that output up to 150mA each. Finally, an
I2C serial interface provides programmability for the
DC/DC converters and LDOs.
APPLICATIONS
• Personal Navigation Devices
• Portable Media Players
• Smart Phones
