GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The patent-pending ACT8740 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 integrates
one PWM step-down DC/DC converter, one PWM
step-up DC/DC converter with over-voltage protec-
tion (OVP), three low dropout linear regulators
(LDOs) and a full-featured linear-mode Li+ battery
charger into a single, thin, space-saving package.
An I2C Serial Interface provides programmability for
the DC/DC converters, LDOs and battery charger.
REG1 is a fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM step
-down DC/DC converter that is optimized for high
efficiency and is capable of supplying up to 350mA
output current. REG2 is a fixed-frequency, step-up
DC/DC converter that safely and efficiently biases a
string of up to seven white-LEDs for backlighting.
REG3, REG4, and REG5 are low noise, high PSRR
linear regulators that are capable of supplying up to
350mA, 250mA, and 250mA, respectively. The bat-
tery charger incorporates an internal power MOS-
FET for constant-current/constant-voltage, thermally
regulated charging of a single-cell Li+ battery. All
DC/DC converters and LDOs output voltages are
programmable and controllable via the I2C interface.
The ACT8740 is available in a tiny 4mm x 4mm
24-pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin.
