ACT4303 provides up to 3A output current at 225kHz switching frequency. Active CC is a patent-pending control scheme to achieve highest accuracy sensorless constant current control. Active CC eliminates the expensive, high accuracy current sense resistor, making it ideal for battery charging applications and adaptors with accurate current limit. The ACT4303 achieves higher efficiency than traditional constant current switching regulators by eliminating its associated power loss. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal shutdown, and frequency foldback at short circuit. The devices are available in a SOP- 8EP package and require very few external devices for operation.

Rev 0, 05-Dec-11 Active- Semi Innovative PowerTM - 5 - www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2011 Active-Semi, Inc. FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CV/CC Loop Regulation As seen in Functional Block Diagram, the ACT4303 is a peak current mode pulse width modulation (PWM) converter with CC and CV control. The converter operates as follows: A switching cycle starts when the rising edge of the Oscillator clock output ca uses the High-Side Power Switch to turn on and the Low-Side Power Switch to turn off. With the SW side of the inductor now connected to IN, the inductor current ramps up to store energy in the magnetic field. The inductor current level is measured by the Current Sense Amplifier and added to the Oscillator ramp signal. If the resulting summation is higher than the COMP voltage, the output of the PWM Comparator goes high. When this happens or when Oscillator clock output goes low, the High-Side Power Switch turns off. At this point, the SW side of the inductor swings to a diode voltage below ground, causing the inductor current to decrease and magnetic energy to be transferred to output. This state continues until the cycle starts again. The High-Side Power Switch is driven by logic using HSB as the positive rail. This pin is charged to V SW + 5V when the Low-Side Power Switch turns on. The COMP voltage is the integration of the error between FB input and the internal 0.808V reference. If FB is lower than the reference voltage, COMP tends to go higher to increase current to the ou tput. Output current will increase until it reaches the CC limit set by the ISET resistor. At this point, t he device will transition from regulating output voltage to regulating output current, and the output voltage will drop with increasing load. The Oscillator normally switches at 225kHz. However, if FB voltage is less than 0.6V, then the switching frequency decreases until it reaches a typical value of 30kHz at V FB = 0.15V. Enable Pin The ACT4303 has an enable input EN for turning the IC on or off. The EN pin contains a precision 1.6V comparator with 125 mV hysteresis and a 4µA pull-up current source. The comparator can be used with a resistor divider from V IN to program a startup voltage higher than the normal UVLO value. It can be used with a resistor divider from V OUT to disable charging of a deeply discharged battery, or it can be used with a resistor divider containing a thermistor to provide a temperature-dependent shutoff protection for over temperature battery. The thermistor should be thermally coupled to the battery pack for this usage. If left floating, the EN pin will be pulled up to roughly 5V by the internal 4µA current source. It can be driven from standard logic signals greater than 1.6V, or driven with open-drain logic to provide digital on/off control. Thermal Shutdown The ACT4303 disables switching when its junction temperature exceeds 150°C and resumes when the temperature has dropped by 20°C.

(6) ESRRIPPLEOUTMAXRIPPLE RKIV = OUT SW IN LCf28 V APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CONT’D The selected inductor should not saturate at ILPK. The maximum output current is calculated as: LLIM is the internal current limit, which is typically 3.2A, as shown in Electrical Characteristics Table. External High Voltage Bias Diode It is recommended that an external High Voltage Bias diode be added when the system has a 5V fixed input or the power supply generates a 5V output. This helps improve the efficiency of the regulator. The High Voltage Bias diode can be a low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54. Figure 4: External High Voltage Bias Diode This diode is also recommended for high duty cycle operation and high output voltage applications. Input Capacitor The input capacitor needs to be carefully selected to maintain sufficiently low ripple at the supply input of the converter. A low ESR capacitor is highly recommended. Since large current flows in and out of this capacitor during switching, its ESR also affects efficiency. The input capacitance needs to be higher than 10µF. The best choice is the ceramic type, however, low ESR tantalum or electrolytic types may also be used provided that the RMS ripple current rating is higher than 50% of the output current. The input capacitor should be placed close to the IN and G pins of the IC, with the shortest traces possible. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic types, they ca n be further away if a small parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is placed right next to the IC. Output Capacitor The output capacitor also needs to have low ESR to keep low output voltage ripple. The output ripple voltage is: Where I OUTMAX is the maximum output current, KRIPPLE is the ripple factor, R ESR is the ESR of the output capacitor, fSW is the switching frequency, L is the inductor value, and C OUT is the output capacitance. In the ca se of ceramic output capacitors, R ESR is very small and does not contribute to the ripple. Therefore, a lower capacitance value can be us ed for ceramic type. In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the ripple is dominated by R ESR multiplied by the ripple current. In that case, the output capacitor is chosen to have sufficiently low ESR. For ceramic output capacitor, typically choose a capacitance of about 22µF. For tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, choose a capacitor with less than 50mΩ ESR. Rectifier Diode Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier to conduct current when the High-Side Power Switch is off. The Schottky diode must have current rating higher than the maximum output current and a reverse voltage rating higher than the maximum input voltage. (5) PKLPKLIMOUTMAX I2 1II _

The DC loop gain of the system is determined by the following equation: The dominant pole P1 is due to C COMP: The second pole P2 is the output pole: The first zero Z1 is due to R COMP and CCOMP: And finally, the third pole is due to R COMP and CCOMP2 (if CCOMP2 is used): The following steps should be used to compensate the IC: STEP 1. Set the cross over frequency at 1/10 of the switching frequency via R COMP: STEP 2. Set the zero f Z1 at 1/4 of the cross over frequency. If RCOMP is less than 15k Ω, the equation for CCOMP is: If R COMP is limited to 15k Ω, then the actual cross over frequency is 6.58 / (VOUTCOUT). Therefore: STEP 3. If the output capacitor’s ESR is high enough to cause a zero at lower than 4 times the cross over frequency, an additional compensation capacitor C COMP2 is required. The condition for using CCOMP2 is: And the proper value for CCOMP2 is: Though C COMP2 is unnecessary when the output capacitor has sufficiently low ESR, a small value CCOMP2 such as 100pF may improve stability against PCB layout parasitic effects. Table 1 shows some calculated results based on the compensation method above. Table 1: Typical Compensation for Different Output Voltages and Output Capacitors c: CCOMP2 is needed for high ESR output capacitor. CCOMP2 ≤ 47pF is recommended. CC Loop Stability The constant-current control loop is internally compensated over the 1500mA-3000mA output range. No additional external compensation is required to stabilize the CC current.
