FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

General Description

REG1, REG2, and REG3 are fixed-frequency,

current-mode,

synchronous

PWM

step-down

converters that are capable of supplying up to 1.3A,

1.0A, and 0.55A of output current, respectively.

These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of

1.6MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications

and allowing the use of small external components,

and achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%.

Each step-down DC/DC is available with a variety of

standard and custom output voltages, which may be

software-controlled by systems requiring advanced

power management functions, via the I2C interface.

Buck Regulator PFM/PWM Operating

Modes

The buck converters offer PFM/PWM operating

modes to maximize efficiency under both light and

full load conditions. The device will automatically

transition from fixed frequency PWM mode to PFM

mode when the output current is approximately

100mA. In PFM mode, the device maintains output

voltage regulation by adjusting the switching

frequency. The device transitions into fixed

frequency PWM mode when the output current

reaches approximately 100mA.

100% Duty Cycle Operation

REG1, REG2 and REG3 are each capable of

operating at up to 100% duty cycle. During 100%

duty-cycle operation, the high-side power MOSFET

is held on continuously, providing a direct

connection from the input to the output (through the

inductor), ensuring the lowest possible dropout

voltage in battery powered applications.

Synchronous Rectification

REG1, REG2 and REG3 each feature integrated

channel

synchronous

rectifiers,

maximizing

efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and

cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers.

Enabling and Disabling REG1, REG2

and REG3

REG1, REG2, and REG3 are typically enabled and

disabled

using

the

ACT8810's

closed-loop

enable/disable control scheme, including the nPBIN

input. Refer to the System Startup and Shutdown

section for more information about this function.

Each regulator is enabled when the following

conditions are met:

1) ONx is asserted high to enable REGx,

2) REGx/ONx[ ] is set to 1 when ONx is high

In addition REG1, REG2, or REG3 may be enabled

when nPBIN is pushed low via 100kΩ resistance. It

depends on sequence is set. See the Control

Sequence

section for more information.

When none of these conditions are true, REG1,

REG2 and REG3 are disabled, and each regulator’s

quiescent supply current drops to less than 1μA.

Power-OK

REG1, REG2 and REG3 each feature a variety of

status bits that can be read by the system

microprocessor. If any output falls below its power-

OK threshold, typically 6% below the programmed

regulation voltage, REGx/OK[ ] is cleared to 0.

Soft-Start

REG1, REG2 and REG3 each include matched

soft-start circuitry. When enabled, the output

voltages track the internal 80μs soft-start ramp and

both power up in a monotonic manner that is

independent of loading on either output. This

circuitry ensures that each output powers up in a

controlled

manner,

greatly

simplifying

power

sequencing design considerations.

Compensation

REG1, REG2 and REG3 utilize current-mode control

and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to

simultaneously simplify external component selection

and optimize transient performance over their full

operating range. No compensation design is required;

simply follow a few simple guide lines described

below when choosing external components.

Input Capacitor Selection

The input capacitor reduces peak currents and

noise induced upon the voltage source. A 4.7μF

ceramic capacitor for each of REG1, REG2 and

REG3 is recommended for most applications.

Output Capacitor Selection

For most applications, 22μF ceramic output

capacitors are recommended for REG1 and 10μF

ceramic output capacitors are recommended for

REG2, REG3. Although the these regulators were

designed to take advantage of the benefits of

ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low

ESR, low-ESR tantalum capacitors can provide

acceptable results as well.
