The ACT6390 and ACT6391 operate at constant switching frequency under medium to high load current conditions. At light loads, these devices operate in a pulse-skipping mode in order to improve light-load efficiency. t SS = 2 . 2 × 10 5 × C SS Frequency Selection The ACT6390 and ACT6391 include a pinselectable operating frequency drive FREQ to a logic high for 1.3MHz operation, drive FREQ to a logic low for 700kHz operation. Selectable operating frequency, in combination with the external compensation network, allows a wide range of flexibility in optimizing total solution size and cost. FREQ is internally pulled down by 5.5µA, this pin may be left unconnected to achieve a 700kHz operating frequency. Soft-Start The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both offer a programmable soft-start function which minimizes inrush current during startup. The soft-start period is programmed by connecting a capacitor (CSS) between SS and G. Operation of the soft-start function is as follows: when the IC is disabled, SS is actively discharged to G. Upon enabling the IC, CSS is charged with a 4.5µA current so that the voltage at SS increases in a controlled manner. The peak inductor current is limited by the voltage at SS, so that the input current is limited until the soft-start period expires, and the regulator can achieve its full output current rating. The soft-start period can be calculated as a simple function of the soft-start capacitor using the equation: Setting the Output Voltage The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both feature external adjustable output voltages of up to 12V. To program the output voltage, simply connect a resistive voltage divider between the output, FB, and G, with resistors set according to the following equation: ⎡⎛ V R1 = R 2 × ⎢⎜ OUT ⎜ ⎣⎝ VFB Where VFB is 1.24V.

For example: VIN = 3.3V, VOUT = 12V, fSW = 700kHz IOUT = 250mA, η = 85%, FREQ = G, K = 0.4 Define K= ∆IL I L (DC ) (4) ⎛V ⎞ L = ⎜ IN ⎟ ⎜V ⎟ ⎝ OUT ⎠ 2 ⎛ VOUT − VIN ⎞ η ⎜ ⎜ I ×f ⎟× K ⎟ ⎝ OUT SW ⎠ (11) Where: ∆IL is the inductor ripple current in steady state, typically chosen to be about 0.3, and 0.85 ⎞ ⎛ 3.3V ⎞ ⎛ 12V − 3.3V =⎜ × ⎟⎜ ⎟ ≈ 7.99µH ⎝ 12V ⎠ ⎝ 250mA ×700kHz 0.4 ⎠ Select L = 10µH Assuming the minimum input voltage is 3V and low cost external components are used, yielding a low efficiency of just 80%. 2 ∆ IL = VIN V ×D DT = IN L L × fSW (5) IL(DC) is the inductor DC current, given by: IL (DC ) = VOUT × IOUT VIN × η (6) IL (DC ,MAX ) = ∆IL (MAX ) = 250 mA ×12V = 1.25 A 3V × 0.8 (12) (13) (14) Where η is typical efficiency.

When selecting an inductor make sure that the inductors maximum DC current and saturation current exceed the maximum operation point, calculated by: I ×V IL (DC ,MAX ) = OUT (MAX ) OUT (8) VIN (MIN ) × η and 1 IL(PEAK ,MAX ) = IL(DC,MAX ) + ∆IL(MAX ) 2 IOUT (MAX ) ×VOUT 1 VIN (MIN ) [VOUT −VIN (MIN ) ] = +× (9) VIN (MIN ) × η 2 VOUT × L × fSW LMIN = (12V − 3.3V ) × 0.45 Ω = 3.2 µH 1.75 × 700kHz (15) Which meets the slope compensation requirement. Loop Compensation REF FB 2 + EA GM COMP 3 RCOMP CCOMP2 CCOMP If the output voltage is greater than two times of input voltage, that means the duty cycle is greater than 50%, the slope compensation is required for stability. When operating in this condition ensure that the inductor value is greater than LMIN: The ACT6390 and ACT6391 feature a simple loop compensation scheme. Simple follow the procedure detailed below to determine suitable compensation components. For best results be sure to prototype to confirm the values, and adjust the compensation network (by inspecting the transient response, for example) as needed to optimize results for your particular application. When the converter operates with continuous inductor current, a right-half-plane zero exits in the loop’s gain-frequency response.

Over Voltage Protection The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both feature internal automatic over-voltage protection (OVP). Once the outputs achieve regulation, if the voltage at FB falls below 0.125V the controller will automatically disable and latch off, preventing the controller from running open-loop and potentially damaging the IC and load. To re-enable the converters, simply cycle the EN pin or remove and reapply power to the input. Shutdown Drive EN low to disable the IC and reduce the supply current to just 0.1µA. As with all nonsynchronous step-up DC/DC converters, the external Schottky diode provides a DC path from the input to the output in shutdown. As a result, the output drops to one diode voltage drop below the input in shutdown. Thermal Shutdown The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both feature integrated thermal overload protection. Both devices are automatically disabled when their junction temperatures exceed 160°C, and automatically re-enable when the die temperature decreases by 20°C.
