REG1 is capable of supplying up to 350mA of output current, while REG2 supports up to 550mA. These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of 1.6MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications and allowing the use of small external components. REG1 and REG2 are available with a variety of standard and custom output voltages, as described in the Ordering Information section of this datasheet. Compensation REG1 and REG2 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 guidelines described below when choosing external components. Thermal Shutdown The ACT8325 integrates thermal shutdown protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting from excessive thermal stress, as may be encountered under fault conditions. This circuitry disables all regulators if the ACT8325 die temperature exceeds 160°C, and prevents the regulators from being enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ). 100% Duty Cycle Operation Both REG1 and REG2 are 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 batterypowered applications. Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor reduces peak currents and noise induced upon the voltage source. A 2.2µF ceramic capacitor for each of REG1 and REG2 is recommended for most applications. Synchronous Rectification REG1 and REG2 both feature integrated n-channel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers. Output Capacitor Selection For most applications, 10µF ceramic output capacitors are recommended for both REG1 and REG2. 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. Enabling and Disabling REG1 and REG2 Each of the ACT8325's regulators features independent pin-controlled enable control. Drive ON1 to a logic-high to enable REG1, drive ON1 to a logiclow to disable REG1. Similarly, drive ON2 to a logic-high to enable REG2, drive ON2 to a logic-low to disable REG2. When disabled, each regulator's supply current drops to less than 1µA. Output Voltage Programming Figure 4: Output Voltage Programming OUTx ACT8325 FBx RFB2 CFF RFB1 Soft-Start REG1 and REG2 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 both outputs power up in a controlled manner, greatly simplifying power sequencing design considerations.

Select components as follows: Set RFB2 = 51kΩ, then calculate RFB1 using the following equation: ⎛V ⎞ RFB1 = RFB2 ⎜ OUTX − 1 ⎟ ⎜V ⎟ ⎝ FBX ⎠ (1) where VFBX is 0.625V. Finally choose CFF using the following equation: C FF = 2.2 × 10 −6 R FB1 (2) Where RFB1 = 47kΩ, use 47pF. Inductor Selection REG1 and REG2 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. These devices were optimized for operation with 3.3µH inductors, although inductors in the 2.2µH to 4.7µH range can be used. Choose an inductor with a low DC-resistance, and avoid inductor saturation by choosing inductors with DC ratings that exceed the maximum output current of the application by at least 30%. High switching frequencies and large peak current make PC board layout an important part of stepdown DC/DC converter design. A good design minimizes excessive EMI on the feedback paths and voltage gradients in the ground plane, both of which can result in instability or regulation errors. Stepdown DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input current, so the input capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of vias if possible. The inductor, input filter capacitor, and output filter capacitor should be connected as close together as possible, with short, direct, and wide traces. The ground nodes for each regulator’s power loop should be connected at a single point in a star-ground configuration, and this point should be connected to the backside ground plane with multiple vias. For fixed output voltage options, connect the output node directly to the FBx pin. For adjustable output voltage options, connect the feedback resistors and feed-forward capacitor to the FBx pin through the shortest possible route. In both cases, the feedback path should be routed to maintain sufficient distance from switching nodes to prevent noise injection.
