ACT4533A/B
Rev 0, 14-Aug-13
Wide-Input Sensorless CC/CV Step-Down DC/DC Converter
FEATURES
• 40V Input Voltage Surge
APPLICATIONS
• Car Charger/ Adaptor
• 36V Steady State Operation
• Up to 3.5A output current
• Output Voltage up to 12V
• Rechargeable Portable Devices
• General-Purpose CV/CC Power Supply
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• 125kHz Switching Frequency Eases EMI Design
ACT4533A/B is a wide input voltage, high efficiency
ActiveCC step-down DC/DC converter that operates
in either CV (Constant Output Voltage) mode or CC
(Constant Output Current) mode. ACT4533A/B
provides up to 3.5A output current at 125kHz
switching frequency.
• 91% Efficiency (Vout=5V@2.4A at Vin=12V)
• Stable with Low-ESR Ceramic Capacitors to
Allow Low-Profile Designs
• Integrated Over Voltage Protection
• Excellent EMI Performance
ActiveCC is a patented control scheme to achieve
high-accuracy sensorless constant current control.
ActiveCC eliminates the expensive, high accuracy
current sense resistor, making it ideal for CLA
applications.
• Patented ActiveCC Sensorless Constant Current
Control Improves Efficiency and Lowers Cost.
• Resistor Programmable
− Current Limit from 1.5A to 4.0A
ACT4533A/B integrates adaptive gate drive to
achieve excellent EMI performance passing
EN55022 Class B EMC standard without adding
additional EMI components while maintaining high
conversion efficiency.
− Patented Cable Compensation from 0 to
0.25Ω
• ±7.5% CC Accuracy
− Compensation of Input /Output Voltage Change
− Temperature Compensation
− Independent of inductance and Inductor DCR
• 2% Feedback Voltage Accuracy
• Advanced Feature Set
− Integrated Soft Start
− Thermal Shutdown
− Secondary Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit
− Protection Against Shorted ISET Pin
• SOP-8EP Package
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.
The only difference between ACT4533A and
ACT4533B is that Pin 7 provides OVP for
ACT4533A and EN/OVP for ACT4533B.
