GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT8865 is a complete, cost effective, highlyefficient ActivePMUTM power management solution,
optimized for the unique power, voltagesequencing, and control requirements of the Atmel
SAMA5D3 series: SAMA5D[31/33/34/35/36] and SAM9
series:SAM9G[15/25/35/45/46];SAM9X[25/35],
SAM9M[10/11], SAM9N[11/12] processors. It is ideal
The three DC/DC converters utilize a highefficiency, fixed-frequency (2MHz), current-mode
PWM control architecture that requires a minimum
number of external components. Two DC/DCs are
capable of supplying up to 1150mA of output
current, while the third supports up to 1300mA. All
four low-dropout linear regulators are highperformance, low-noise, regulators that supply up to
320mA.
The ACT8865 is available in a compact, Pb-Free
and RoHS-compliant TQFN44-32 package.

SYSTEM CONTROL INFORMATION
Control Signals
nRSTO Output
Enable Inputs
The ACT8865 features a variety of control inputs,
which are used to enable and disable outputs
depending upon the desired mode of operation.
PWREN, PWRHLD are logic inputs, while nPBIN is
a unique, multi-function input. Refer to the
Processor Specification for a description of which
channels are controlled by each input.
nPBIN Multi-Function Input
ACT8865 features the nPBIN multi-function pin,
which combines system enable/disable control with
a hardware reset function. Select either of the two
pin functions by asserting this pin, either through a
direct connection to GA, or through a 50kΩ resistor
to GA, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2:
nPBIN Input
nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low
upon startup or when manual reset is asserted via
the nPBIN input. When asserted on startup, nRSTO
remains low until reset time-out period expires after
OUT3 reaches its power-OK threshold. When
asserted due to manual-reset, nRSTO immediately
asserts low, then remains asserted low until the
nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset time-out
period expires.
Connect a 10kΩ or greater pull-up resistor from
nRSTO to an appropriate voltage supply (typically
OUT3).
nIRQ Output
nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any
time an interrupt is generated. Connect a 10kΩ or
greater pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate
voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to drive the
interrupt input of the system processor.
Many of the ACT8865's functions support interruptgeneration as a result of various conditions. These
are typically masked by default, but may be
unmasked via the I2C interface. For more
information about the available fault conditions,
refer to the appropriate sections of this datasheet.
Manual Reset Function
The second major function of the nPBIN input is to
provide a manual-reset input for the processor. To
manually-reset the processor, drive nPBIN directly
to GA through a low impedance (less than 2.5kΩ).
When this occurs, nRSTO immediately asserts low,
then remains asserted low until the nPBIN input is
de-asserted and the reset time-out period expires.
nPBSTAT Output
nPBSTAT is an open-drain output that reflects the
state of the nPBIN input; nPBSTAT is asserted low
whenever nPBIN is asserted, and is high-Z
otherwise. This output is typically used as an
interrupt signal to the processor, to initiate a
software-programmable routine such as operating
mode selection or to open a menu. Connect
nPBSTAT to an appropriate supply voltage
(typically OUT3) through a 10kΩ or greater resistor.
Note that under some conditions a false interrupt
may be generated upon initial startup. For this
reason, it is recommended that the interrupt service
routine check and validate nSYSLEVMSK[-] and
nFLTMSK[-] bits before processing an interrupt
generated by these bits. These interrupts may be
validated by nSYSSTAT[-], OK[-] bits.
Push-Button Control
The ACT8865 is designed to initiate a system
enable sequence when the nPBIN multi-function
input is asserted. Once this occurs, a power-on
sequence commences, as described below. The
power-on sequence must complete and the
microprocessor must take control (by asserting
PWREN or PWRHLD) before nPBIN is de-asserted.
If the microprocessor is unable to complete its
power-up routine successfully before the user
releases the push-button, the ACT8865
automatically shuts the system down. This provides
protection against accidental or momentary
assertions of the push-button. If desired, longer
“push-and-hold” times can be implemented by
simply adding an additional time delay before
asserting PWREN or PWRHLD.

Control Sequences
The ACT8865 features a variety of control
sequences that are optimized for supporting system
enable and disable sequences of Atmel SAMA5D3
Series: SAMA5D[31/33/34/35/36] and SAM9 series:
SAM9G[15/25/35/45/46],
SAM9X[25/35],
SAM9M[10/11], SAM9N[11/12] application
processor.
Enabling/Disabling Sequence
A typical enable sequence is initiated whenever
nPBIN is asserted low via 50KΩ resistance. The
enable sequence begins by enabling REG3. When
REG3 reaches its power-OK threshold, nRSTO is
asserted low, resetting the microprocessor. When
REG3 reaches its power-OK threshold for 2ms ,
REG1 is enabled. When REG3 reaches its powerOK threshold for 4ms , REG2 is enabled. When
REG3 is above its power-OK threshold when the
reset timer expires, nRSTO is de-asserted, allowing
the microprocessor to begin its boot sequence.
REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 can be enabled or
disabled by PWREN after system powers up.
During the boot sequence, the microprocessor must
assert PWRHLD, holding the regulators to ensure
that the system remains powered after nPBIN is
released.
As with the enable sequence, a typical disable
sequence is initiated when the user presses the
push-button, which interrupts the processor via the
nPBSTAT output. The actual disable sequence is
completely software-controlled, but typically
involved initiating various “clean-up” processes
before finally set MSTROFF[] bit to 1 to shut the
system down.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
I2C Interface
below the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold:
2
The ACT8865 features an I C interface that allows
advanced programming capability to enhance overall
system performance. To ensure compatibility with a
wide range of system processors, the I2C interface
supports clock speeds of up to 400kHz (“Fast-Mode”
operation) and uses standard I2C commands. I2C
write-byte commands are used to program the
ACT8865, and I2C read-byte commands are used to
read the ACT8865’s internal registers. The ACT8865
always operates as a slave device, and is addressed
using a 7-bit slave address followed by an eighth bit,
which indicates whether the transaction is a readoperation or a write-operation, [1011011x].
SDA is a bi-directional data line and SCL is a clock
input. The master device initiates a transaction by
issuing a START condition, defined by SDA
transitioning from high to low while SCL is high. Data
is transferred in 8-bit packets, beginning with the
MSB, and is clocked-in on the rising edge of SCL.
Each packet of data is followed by an “Acknowledge”
(ACK) bit, used to confirm that the data was
transmitted successfully.
For more information regarding the I2C 2-wire serial
interface, go to the NXP website: http://www.nxp.com.
Voltage Monitor and Interrupt
Programmable System Voltage Monitor
The ACT8865 features a programmable systemvoltage monitor, which monitors the voltage at
VDDREF and compares it to a programmable
threshold voltage. The programmable voltage
threshold is programmed by SYSLEV[3:0], as shown
in Table 3.
SYSLEV[ ] is set to 3.0V by default. There is a
200mV rising hysteresis on SYSLEV[ ] threshold
such that VVDDREF needs to be 3.2V(typ) or higher in
order to power up the IC.
The nSYSSTAT[-] bit reflects the output of an
internal voltage comparator that monitors VDDREF
relative to the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, the
value of nSYSTAT[-] = 1 when VVDDREF is lower than
the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, and nSYSTAT[-] =
0 when VVDDREF is higher than the SYSLEV[-]
voltage threshold. Note that the SYSLEV[-] voltage
threshold is defined for falling voltages, and that the
comparator produces about 200mV of hysteresis at
VDDREF. As a result, once VVDDREF falls below the
SYSLEV threshold, its voltage must increase by
more than about 200mV to clear that condition.
After the IC is powered up, the ACT8865 responds in
one of two ways when the voltage at VDDREF falls
1) If nSYSMODE[-] = 1 (default case), when system
vo l ta g e
l e ve l
i n te r r u p t
is
unmasked
(nSYSLEVMSK[ ]=1) and VVDDREF falls below the
programmable threshold, the ACT8865 asserts
nIRQ, providing a software “under-voltage alarm”.
The response to this interrupt is controlled by the
CPU, but will typically initiate a controlled shutdown
sequence either or alert the user that the battery is
low. In this case the interrupt is cleared when
VVDDREF rises up again above the SYSLEV rising
threshold and nSYSSTAT[-] is read via I2C.
2) If nSYSMODE[-] = 0, when VVDDREF falls below the
programmable threshold the ACT8865 shuts down,
immediately disabling all regulators. This option is
useful for implementing a programmable “undervoltage lockout” function that forces the system off
when the battery voltage falls below the SYSLEV
threshold voltage. Since this option does not support
a controlled shutdown sequence, it is generally used
as a "fail-safe" to shut the system down when the
battery voltage is too low.

Thermal Shutdown
The ACT8865 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 ACT8865 die temperature exceeds
160°C, and prevents the regulators from being
enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ).

Rev 2, 11-Feb-14
STEP-DOWN DC/DC REGULATORS
General Description
The ACT8865 features three synchronous, fixedfrequency, current-mode PWM step down converters
that achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. REG1
and REG2 are capable of supplying up to 1150mA of
output current, while REG3 supports up to 1300mA.
These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of
2MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications and
allowing the use of small external components.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
Each regulator is 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 nchannel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency
and minimizing the total solution size and cost by
eliminating the need for external rectifiers.
Soft-Start
When enabled, each output voltages tracks an
internal 400μs soft-start ramp, minimizing input
current during startup and allowing each regulator to
power up in a smooth, monotonic manner that is
independent of output load conditions.
Compensation
Each buck regulator utilizes current-mode control and
a proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component selection
and optimize transient performance over its full
operating range. No compensation design is
required; simply follow a few simple guidelines
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 is recommended for each regulator in most
applications.
Output Capacitor Selection
For most applications, 22μF ceramic output
capacitors are recommended for REG1/REG2/
REG3.
Despite the advantages of ceramic capacitors, care
must be taken during the design process to ensure
stable operation over the full operating voltage and
temperature range. Ceramic capacitors are available
in a variety of dielectrics, each of which exhibits
different characteristics that can greatly affect
performance over their temperature and voltage
ranges.
Two of the most common dielectrics are Y5V and
X5R. Whereas Y5V dielectrics are inexpensive and
can provide high capacitance in small packages, their
capacitance varies greatly over their voltage and
temperature ranges and are not recommended for
DC/DC applications. X5R and X7R dielectrics are
more suitable for output capacitor applications, as
their characteristics are more stable over their
operating ranges, and are highly recommended.
Inductor Selection
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. These devices were optimized for
operation with 2.2μH inductors, although inductors in
the 1.5μH to 3.3μH 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 by at least 30%.
Enable / Disable Control
During normal operation, each buck may be enabled
or disabled via the I2C interface by writing to that
regulator's ON[ ] bit. To enable the regulator set ON[ ]
to 1, to disable the regulator clear ON[ ] to 0.
REG1, REG2, REG3 Turn-On Delay
Each of REG1/REG2/REG3 features a
programmable Turn-On Delay which help ensure a
reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by
DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 5.
Operating Mode
REG1, REG2, and REG3 each operate in fixedfrequency PWM mode at medium to heavy loads
when MODE[ ] bit is set to 0, and transition to a
proprietary power-saving mode at light loads in
order to maximize standby battery life. In
applications where low noise is critical, force fixedfrequency PWM operation across the entire load
current range, at the expense of light-load
efficiency, by setting the MODE[ ] bit to 1.
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each DC/DC features a power-OK status bit that

can be read by the system microprocessor via the
I2C interface. If an output voltage is lower than the
power-OK threshold, typically 7% below the
programmed regulation voltage, that regulator's
OK[ ] bit will be 0.
If a DC/DC's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the
ACT8865 will interrupt the processor if that DC/DC's
output voltage falls below the power-OK threshold.
In this case, nIRQ will assert low and remain
asserted until the OK[ ] bit has been read via I2C.
PCB Layout Considerations
High switching frequencies and large peak currents
make PC board layout an important part of stepdown DC/DC converter design.
close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of
via 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 via. The output node for each regulator
should be connected to its corresponding OUTx pin
through the shortest possible route, while keeping
sufficient distance from switching nodes to prevent
noise injection. Finally, the exposed pad should be
directly connected to the backside ground plane
using multiple via to achieve low electrical and
thermal resistance.
Step-down DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input
current, so the input capacitors should be placed as

LOW-NOISE, LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
General Description
REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 are low-noise, lowdropout linear regulators (LDOs) that supply up to
320mA. Each LDO has been optimized to achieve
low noise and high-PSRR, achieving more than
65dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz.
Output Current Limit
Each LDO contains current-limit circuitry featuring a
current-limit fold-back function. During normal and
moderate overload conditions, the regulators can
support more than their rated output currents.
During extreme overload conditions, however, the
current limit is reduced by approximately 30%,
reducing power dissipation within the IC.
Compensation
enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing
to that LDO's ON[ ] bit. To enable the LDO set ON[ ]
to 1, to disable the LDO clear ON[ ] to 0.
REG4, REG5, REG6, REG7 Turn-on Delay
Each of REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 features a
programmable Turn-on Delay which help ensure a
reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by
DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 5.

X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly
recommended.

X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly

Configuration Options
Output Voltage Programming
By default, each LDO powers up and regulates to
its default output voltage. Once the system is
enabled, each output voltage may be independently
programmed to a different value by writing to the
regulator's VSET[-] register via the I2C serial
interface as shown in Table 4.
Enable / Disable Control
Output Discharge
Each of the ACT8865’s LDOs features an optional
output discharge function, which discharges the
output to ground through a 1.5kΩ resistance when
the LDO is disabled. This feature may be enabled
or disabled by setting DIS[-] via; set DIS[-] to 1 to
enable this function, clear DIS[-] to 0 to disable it.
Low-Power Mode
Each of ACT8865's LDOs features a LOWIQ[-] bit
which, when set to 1, reduces the LDO's quiescent
current by about 16%, saving power and extending
battery lifetime.
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each LDO features a power-OK status bit that
be read by the system microprocessor via
interface. If an output voltage is lower than
power-OK threshold, typically 11% below
programmed regulation voltage, the value of
regulator's OK[-] bit will be 0.

PCB Layout Considerations
PCB Layout Considerations The ACT8865’s LDOs
provide good DC, AC, and noise performance over
a wide range of operating conditions, and are
relatively insensitive to layout considerations. When
designing a PCB, however, careful layout is
necessary to prevent other circuitry from degrading
LDO performance.
A good design places input and output capacitors
as close to the LDO inputs and output as possible,
and utilizes a star-ground configuration for all
regulators to prevent noise-coupling through
ground. Output traces should be routed to avoid
close proximity to noisy nodes, particularly the SW
nodes of the DC/DCs.
REFBP is a filtered reference noise, and internally
has a direct connection to the linear regulator
controller. Any noise injected onto REFBP will
directly affect the outputs of the linear regulators,
and therefore special care should be taken to
ensure that no noise is injected to the outputs via
REFBP. As with the LDO output capacitors, the
REFBP bypass capacitor should be placed as close
to the IC as possible, with short, direct connections
to the star-ground. Avoid the use of via whenever
possible. Noisy nodes, such as from the DC/DCs,
should be routed as far away from REFBP as
possible.
