ACT8810

Active-Semi FEATURES ActivePathTM Li+ Charger with System Power Selection Six Integrated Regulators − 1.3A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC − 1.0A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC − 0.55A High Efficiency Step-Down DC/DC − 2×360mA Low Noise, High PSRR LDOs − 30mA RTC LDO / Backup Battery Charger I2CTM Serial Interface Minimal External Components ACT8810 Rev 4, 01-Oct-09 Eight Channel ActivePathTM Power Management IC GENERAL DESCRIPTION The patent-pending ACT8810 is a complete, cost effect tive, 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 six power supply channels. 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, thermallyregulated, stand-alone single-cell linear Li+ charger that incorporates an internal power MOSFET. REG1, REG2, and REG3 are three independent, fixed-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC converters that output 1.3A, 1.0A, and 0.55A, respectively. REG4 and REG5 are high performance, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulators that output up to 360mA each. REG6 is a RTC ...
