GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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.

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.

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.
