- Cameras & DVRs GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ACT81460 is a low power PMIC (power management integrated circuit) that is specifically designed for battery operated systems and is suitable for a variety of processor applications. It features very low standby current that prolongs battery life between charges, especially in applications requiring long stand by or low power mode durations. It is a highly efficient PMIC that also enhances battery run time during normal operating modes. The number of regulators that can be turned OFF or left ON during low power modes is configurable and offers users flexibility to optimize system efficiency. The IC includes four DC/DC converters with integrated power FETs, three low-dropout regulators (LDOs), and three load switches. Two of the DC/DC converters are step down buck regulators, one is a step up/down buck- boost regulator and the fourth is a high voltage step-up boost regulator capable of providing up to 20V. Each regulator can be configured for a wide range of output voltages through the I 2C interface. The ACT81460 is highly configurable. It offers configurable power sequencing combinations, startup timing, output voltage settings, fault monitoring, interrupt control, programmable GPIO options, and many more features. The device is pre-configured at the factory with default configuration settings that can be further adjusted though firmware via the standard I interface to suit individual system requirements. The IC also features the ability to sequence external power supply rails as part of the power up sequence by using GPIOs.

If the user desires different VOUT configurations, from the default CMI, they should consult with active-semi Applications staff for proper setup of the device. Default CMI is what sets the output voltages of the regulators on POR event. Parts can be ordered with different CMI settings, to fit the specific customer output voltages in the appli- cation. Note2: For heavy loads and high frequency settings, may need to use different VFFResSelect [2:0] setting for a stable switching frequency. Load may be limited when above 200mA, in order to keep the switch pin at a stable frequency Please consult with Appli- cations for proper setup of different frequencies, and different output voltage settings.

Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION General The ACT81460 is optimized for low power battery applications, but can also be used in higher power applications requiring small size with high integration. The ACT81460 has one main power input, the VIN pin. This input supply is passed through the Smart Switch which serves three functions: VSYS softstart, VSYS linear regulator, and VIN overvoltage blocking. VSYS is the system voltage, which is limited to a maximum of 5.5V by the Smart Switch. The VSYS output powers the rest of the system and the other converters. The smart- switch doubles as a linear regulator to regulate VSYS to voltages lower than VIN. The ACT81460 powers the system with several buck converters, a buck-boost converter, a boost converter, three LDOs, and three load switches. All of these are fully integrated and highly configurable. The buck converters each provide 400mA. The buck-boost can be configured in either buck-boost mode or boost mode and provides up to 400mA of output current. The boost converter provides up to 20V and can be configured in either voltage or current mode. In voltage mode, it powers higher voltage loads. In current mode, it regulates a constant current to a string of LEDs. The three LDOs provide up to 100mA. LDO3 is also configurable as a load switch. All three LDOs have dedicated input power pins to help optimize overall system efficiency. The three load switches provide very flexible system level power sequencing and allow the user to design voltage “islands” to turn off parts of the system in low power modes. The ACT81460 also contains a configurable linear charger that provides up to 800mA. It is fully JEITA compliant and autonomously charges a single cell Li- Ion battery. It contains a full complement of charging protection features to ensure safe and reliable operation. The ACT81460’s four GPIOs can be configured for a variety of functions. They can be used as standard digital inputs, push-pull outputs, open drain outputs, LED drivers, or as analog input/outputs. Typical configurations include nRESET, Power Good (PG), interrupt request or interrupt pin (nIRQ), digital output from power okay (POK) signal from individual regulators, digital input to control power sequencing or regulator ON/Off, digital inputs to put the IC into SLEEP and DPSLP modes, input/output lines to sequence external regulators as part of the power sequence, Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) inputs, and as LED drivers. The ACT81460 is highly flexible and contains many I configurable functions. The IC’s default functionality is d e f i n e d b y i t s d e f a u l t C M I ( C o d e M a t r i x I n d e x ) , b u t much of this functionality can be changed via I 2C. I2C functionality includes OV and UV fault thresholds, switching frequencies, current limits, precharge and fast charge current settings, charging termination voltage, JEITA settings, and more. The CMI Options section shows the default settings for each available CMI option. Contact sales@active-semi.com for additional infor- mation about other configurations. I2C Serial Interface To ensure compatibility with a wide range of systems, the ACT81460 uses standard I 2C commands. It sup- ports clock speeds up to 1MHz. The ACT81460 always operates as a slave device, and can be factory config- ured to one of four 7-bit slave addresses. The 7-bit slave address is followed by an eighth bit, which indicates whether the transaction is a read-operation or a write- operation. Refer to each specific CMI for the IC’s slave address Table 1: ACT2861 I 2C Addresses 7-Bit Slave Address 8-Bit Write Address 8-Bit Read Address 0x25h 010 0101b 0x4Ah 0x4Bh 0x27h 010 0111b 0x4Eh 0x4Fh 0x67h 110 0111b 0xCEh 0xCFh 0x6Bh 110 1011b 0xD6h 0xD7h I2C commands are communicated using the SCL and SDA pins. SCL is the I2C serial clock input. SDA is the data input and output. SDA is open drain and must have a pull-up resistor. Signals on these pins must meet tim- ing requirements in the Electrical Characteristics. For more information regarding the I 2C 2-wire serial inter- face, refer to the NXP website: http://www.nxp.com. I2C Registers The ACT81460 has an array of internal registers that contain the IC’s basic instructions for setting up the IC configuration, output voltages, switching frequency, fault thresholds, fault masks, etc. These registers give the IC its operating flexibility. The two types of registers are described below. Basic Volatile – These are R/W (Read and Write) and RO (Read only). After the IC is powered, the user can modify the R/W register values to change IC functional- ity. Changes in functionality include things like masking certain faults. The RO registers communicate IC status
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. such as fault conditions. Any changes to these registers are lost when power is recycled. The default values are fixed and cannot be changed by the factory or the end user. Basic Non-Volatile – These are R/W and RO. After the IC is powered, the user can modify the R/W register val- ues to change IC functionality. Changes in functionality include things like output voltage settings, startup delay time, and current limit thresholds. Any changes to these registers are lost when power is recycled. The default values can be modified at the factory to optimize IC functionality for specific applications. Please consult sales@active-semi.com for custom options and mini- mum order quantities. When modifying only certain bits within a register, take care to not inadvertently change other bits. Inadvert- ently changing register contents can lead to unexpected IC behavior. STATE MACHINE The ACT81460 contains an internal state machine with five internal states: POWER OFF, START POWER SE- QUENCE, SLEEP/STANDBY, DPSLP (DEEP SLEEP), and POWER ON. POWER OFF State The POWER OFF state is a PMIC “safe state” or “shut- down” state. In this state, all the regulator outputs are turned off. The user cannot configure any of the power supplies to remain ON in the POWER OFF state and this is therefore different from the SLEEP and DPSLP states that allows users to configure these states via firmware. The ACT81460 enters POWER OFF at initial power on when input power is applied to the IC and VIN is within a valid range defined by the VIN_UV and VIN_OV thresholds. nRESET is asserted low and all volatile and non-volatile registers are reset to defaults. If the input voltage drops below the VIN_UV threshold voltage, the IC transitions from any other state to the POWER OFF state. It is important to note that a transition to POWER OFF due to VIN_UV returns all volatile and non-volatile registers to their default states. The ACT81460 can also enter POWER OFF from any other state due to an nPBIN press that initiates the power off sequence. The ACT81460 momentarily enters POWER OFF during a power cycle sequence. The IC exits the POWER OFF state when the I 2C bit POWER OFF is cleared to 0, or the nPB pin is pulled low for > 32ms START POWER SEQUENCE State The START POWER SEQUENCE state is a transitional state to power on the regulators. The IC is not intended to operate in this state. When entering START POWER SEQUENCE from the SLEEP and DPSLP states, the IC transitions to the POWER ON state after all regulators are in regulation. When entering START POWER SEQUENCE from the POWER OFF state due to an nPBIN press, the IC re- mains in START POWER SEQUENCE until nPBIN is released AND the regulators are in regulation. If nPBIN is released before the regulators are in regulation, the IC transitions back to the POWER OFF state. If nPBIN is still pressed and the regulators enter regulation and one of them has a fault before nPBIN is released, the IC transitions back to the POWER OFF state. When entering START POWER SEQUENCE from the POWER OFF state due to a power cycle sequence, the IC stays in START POWER SEQUENCE for 0.5s before exiting to the ACTIVE state. POWER ON State The POWER ON state is the main active operating state when the input voltage is within the allowable operating range and there are no faults. Each power supply and load switch output can be programmed to be either ON or OFF in this state. The ACT81460 enters the POWER ON state from START POWER SEQUENCE with a normal nPBIN startup, an I2C startup, or a power cycle sequence. The IC can transition to the SLEEP and DPSLP states with proper control of the I2C bits and external GPIO inputs. It can transition to the POWER OFF state by set- ting the I2C MR bit or by the nPBIN pin. SLEEP State The SLEEP state is a low power mode for the operating system. Each output can be programmed to be on or off in the SLEEP state. The outputs follow their pro- grammed sequencing delay times when turning on or off as they enter or exit the SLEEP state. Buck1/2 can be programmed to regulate to their VSET0 voltage, VSET1 voltage, or be turned off in the SLEEP state. The Buck-Boost, LDOs, Load Switches, and Boost con- verter can be programmed to regulate to their VSET0 voltage or can be programmed to be turned off. Note that the LDOs, Load Switches, and Boost converter do not have a VSET1 voltage. The IC enters SLEEP state via I 2C register bits SLEEP, SLEEP EN, and SLEEP MODE, plus a GPIO input pin.
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. The IC’s specific CMI determines the specific combina- tion of these inputs to enter SLEEP state. The ACT81460’s I2C stays enabled in SLEEP state. The I2C bit SLEEP MODE is set at factory and cannot be changed by the user. It controls the logical combina- tion of the GPIO input and the SLEEP register bit to en- ter SLEEP state. When the SLEEP MODE bit is factory configured to 1, the logical combination is an “OR” func- tion and when SLEEP MODE is factory configured to a 0, the logical combination is an “AND” function. The IC exits the SLEEP state when the conditions to enter SLEEP state are no longer present. The IC also exits the SLEEP state when nPBIN is pulled low for >32ms. This also clears the SLEEP register bits. When the IC exits the SLEEP state, it goes through a full power ON sequence before entering the POWER ON state. If no GPIOs are configured as a control input to enter and exit SLEEP state then only the SLEEP register bit controls the entry and exit of the SLEEP state. Tables 1a and 1b show the conditions to enter SLEEP state. Figure 1: ACT81460 State Diagram

SLEEP Mode Truth Table (SLEEP MODE bit is configured to 0) Table 1b. SLEEP Mode Truth Table (SLEEP MODE bit is configured to 1) DPSLP State The DPSLP state is another low power operating mode for the operating system. It is intended to be used in a lower power configuration than the SLEEP mode. It is similar to the SLEEP state, but DPSLP uses slightly dif- ferent configurations to enter and exit this mode. Each output can only be programmed to be on or off in the DPSLP state. The DPSLP state does not allow the au- tomatic use of the VSET1 registers. This programming can be different and independent from the SLEEP state. The outputs follow their programmed sequencing delay times when turning on or off as they enter or exit the DPSLP state. The IC enters DPSLP state via I 2C register bits DPSLP, DPSLP EN, and DPSLP MODE, plus a GPIO input pin. The IC’s specific CMI determines the specific combina- tion of these three inputs to enter DPSLP state. ACT81460’s I 2C stays enabled in DPSLP state. The I2C bit DPSLP MODE is set at factory and cannot be changed by the user. It controls the logical combina- tion of the GPIO input and the DPSLP register bit to en- ter DPSLP state. When DPSLP MODE is factory con- figured to 1, the logical combination is an “OR” function and when DPSLP is factory configured to a 0, the logical combination is an “AND” function. The IC exits the DPSLP state when the conditions to enter DPSLP state are no longer present. The IC also exits the DPSLP state when nPBIN is pulled low for >32ms. This also clears the DPSLP register bits. When the IC exits the DPSLP state, it goes through a full power ON sequence before entering the POWER ON state. If no GPIOs are configured as a control input to enter and exit DPSLP state then only the DPSLP register bit controls the entry and exit of the DPSLP state. Table 2a and 2b show the conditions to enter DPSLP state. Table 2a. DPSLP Mode Truth Table (DPSLP MODE factory bit is configured to 0) Table 2b.

SLEEP and DPSLP State Configurability The ACT81460 provides highly configurable low power modes that allow the user to fully optimize their system in any operating condition. This allows the user to con- figure the IC for many different microprocessor needs. The SLEEP and DPSLP states allow the user to opti- mize system efficiency. The configuration can be rede- fined prior to each time the states are entered. If the configuration is left unchanged, entering the state re- sults in the same IC behavior every time SLEEP/DPSLP mode is activated. SLEEP/DPSLP can also be config- ured differently before entering the state each time and this empowers the user to control and change the SLEEP/DPSLP behavior by firmware in a variety of per- mutations and combinations. This gives the user im- mense control via firmware to configure the system state and behavior during low power states. Each regulator’s I 2C SLEEP EN bit determines if that regulator is on or off in the SLEEP state. When the SLEEP EN bit = 0, that output ignores the SLEEP state. When the SLEEP EN bit = 1, that output responds to the SLEEP state. The same is true for each regulator’s DPSLP EN bit. SYSTEM FUNCTIONS Startup/Shutdown When power is applied, the IC enters the POWER OFF state and stays there indefinitely. This results in a very low power state. The IC starts up and sequences on the regulators when the user actively initiates a power on by either asserting nPBIN pin or by writing a 0 into the I POWER OFF bit. When powering on with the nPBIN pin, any fault that occurs before nPBIN is released transi- tions the IC back to the POWER OFF state. Any faults that occur after nPBIN is released and the IC is in the ACTIVE state are handled per the proper fault detection procedure as programmed by the IC’s specific CMI. Once in the ACTIVE state, the IC can stay in that state or automatically transition to either the SLEEP or DPSLP state depending on the status of the inputs in Tables 1 and 2. Shutdown is typically accomplished by forcing the sys- tem to transition to the DPSLP state. Shutdown can also be accomplished with the nPBIN pin or by setting the I 2C POWER OFF bit to a 1. Input Voltage Monitoring (VIN and VSYS UVLO) The ACT81460 monitors the input voltage on the VIN pin to ensure it is within specified limits for system level operation. The IC also monitors the VSYS output. When VSYS rises above its POR (~1.4V), the IC wakes up and allows I2C communication. The outputs will not turn on until VSYS rises above UVLO (~2.5V). VSYS also has a UV Warning threshold that is I 2C programmable be- tween 1.85V and 3.35V. The IC asserts the nIRQ pin low if VSYS drops below the programmed threshold, but the outputs continue to operate normally. The IC turns off all outputs if VSYS drops below UVLO. I 2C bit VSYSSTAT = 1 when VSYS < UV Warning and 0 when VSYS > UV Warning. This fault can be masked with I bit VSYSMSK. Pushbutton Functionality The ACT81460 nPBIN pin is a multi-functional input pin. It provides multiple system level functions based on its impedance to ground and “press” time. Power On and Power Cycle1 are typically implemented with a single normally open, momentary pushbutton switch to ground through 50kΩ. Power Off and Power Cycle2 are typi- cally implemented with a single normally open, momen- tary pushbutton switch or a “pin hole” pushbutton to ground through 1kΩ. Power On – This sequence starts up the IC and turns the outputs on. Initiate Power On by momentarily pulling nPBIN to ground through a 50kΩ resistor. The IC moves to the START POWER SEQUENCE and then starts turning on the outputs after a 32ms debounce time. The nPBIN pin must remain asserted for longer than the I P B _ W A I T _ T I M E _ S E T r e g i s t e r v a l u e f o r t h e I C t o startup and move to the POWER ON state. The nPBIN wait time can be set to 32ms, 500ms, 1000ms, or 2000ms. If nPBIN is deasserted or a fault is detected before the wait time expires, the IC turns off the outputs and moves back to the POWER OFF state. Note that nPBIN remains asserted for > 8s, the IC follows the standard behavior described below. Power Cycle1 – This sequence momentarily turns all outputs off and automatically restarts them. Initiate Power Cycle1 by momentarily pulling nPBIN to ground through a 50kΩ resistor for >8s, but <12s. When nPBIN transitions back high, the IC transitions from its current operating state to the POWER OFF state for 0.5s. It then transitions to the START POWER SEQUENCE state for 0.5s before going to the POWER ON state. If nPBIN is pulled low for <8s, no action is taken. Power Off (Long Pushbutton Press) – This sequence turns all outputs off, and they stay off until the user ac- tively initiates a Power On sequence. Initiate the Power Off sequence by pulling nPBIN to ground through a 50kΩ resistor for >12s. After 12s, the IC transitions from its current operating state to the POWER OFF state and turns all outputs off. Once in the POWER OFF state and
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. nPBIN is released high, the IC follows normal pro- grammed functionality to leave the POWER OFF state. If nPBIN is pulled low for >8s but <12s, the IC follows the Power Cycle1 sequencing described above. Soft Reset – This sequence pulls nRESET low to reset the system processor, but all ACT81460 outputs stay turned on. To initiate Soft Reset, pull nPBIN to ground through a 1kΩ resistor for 2s to 4s. nRESET asserts low after 2s. When nPBIN transitions back high, the IC de- asserts the nRESET pin high. The output voltages do not power cycle during a Soft Reset. Power Cycle2 (Hard Reset) – This sequence momen- tarily turns all outputs off and automatically restarts them. Initiate Power Cycle2 by momentarily pulling nPBIN to ground through a 1kΩ resistor for >4s. When nPBIN transitions back high, the IC transitions from its current operating state to the POWER OFF state for 0.5s. It then transitions to the START POWER SE- QUENCE START state for 0.5s before going to the POWER IN state. Unlike Power Cycle1, the Power Cy- cle2 sequence does not require any I 2C register settings. Software-Initiated Power Cycle ACT81460 supports a software-initiated power cycle. This is initiated by setting I 2C bit MR to 1. The IC then waits 8ms and initiates a power cycle to restart the sys- tem. MR is automatically reset to 0 after the power cycle. Smart Switch – Softstart The ACT81460 is specifically designed to system level handle hot plug events. It does this with a combination of the 20V input blocking capability and inrush current control at startup. When power is applied to the VIN pin, the IC monitors the VIN voltage after it is greater than approximately 1.5V. VIN is then monitored for under voltage (UV), ~4.0V, and over voltage (OV) conditions, ~5.8V. When VIN is in the valid range, the Smart Switch connects the VIN to VSYS. The Smart Switch slowly ramps up the VSYS by limiting the inrush current. The Smart Switch current limit is programmed by the I 2C bit IN_ILIM_SETTING between 0.5A and 2A. The inrush controller thus limits inrush current while also adding monitoring and health check functions such as UV, OV and Over Current Protection (OCP) on the VIN input. Smart Switch – Current Limit The Smart Switch also provides input current limit circuit in normal operation. The Smart Switch current limit is programmed by the I 2C bit IN_ILIM_SETTING between 0.5A and 2A. In the event of an overcurrent, the Smart Switch opens and disconnects VIN from VSYS. After a 20ms re-try timer expires, the Smart Switch restarts. During the softstart time, the Smart Switch limits the in- rush current. During this time the current limit signal is masked to prevent false overcurrent conditions. The current limit is unmasked after the softstart time is com- plete and it then ready to detect over current faults. Smart Switch – OVP The Smart Switch also provides over voltage protection. When VIN goes above 5.8V, the IC generates a fault condition. The typical deglitch time for detecting an OV condition is 200us. The Smart Switch is latched open until the over voltage condition is removed. After the fault clears, the Smart Switch restarts. The typical retry time after the OV or any other fault condition clears is 20ms. Watchdog Supervision The ACT81460 features a watchdog supervisory func- tion. This resets the system in the case where the host microprocessor get locked up or becomes unrespon- sive. Watchdog is disabled by default. Writing a 1 into I 2C bits WDSREN or WDPCEN enables the watch dog functionality. Once enabled, the watchdog timer is reset whenever there is I2C activity. If there is no I2C commu- nication for longer than 8s, the IC performs either a soft- reset if the WDSREN bit = 1 or a power cycle if the WDPCEN bit = 1. If both bits = 1, the IC performs Power Cycle Fault Protection The ACT81460 contains several levels of fault protec- tion, including the following: Output Overvoltage Output Undervoltage Output Current Limit and short circuit Thermal Shutdown There are two types of I 2C register bits associated with each fault condition: fault bits and mask bits. The mask bits either block or allow the fault to affect the fault bit. Each potential fault condition can be masked via I 2C if desired. Any unmasked fault condition results in the fault bit going high, which asserts the nIRQ pin. The nIRQ pin only de-asserts after the fault condition is no longer present and the corresponding fault bit is read via I 2C. If a fault is masked, the fault bit shows the real- time fault status, but the fault does not assert nIRQ. Re- fer to Active-Semi Application Note describing the Reg- ister Map for full details on I 2C functionality and pro- gramming ranges. nIRQ (Interrupt) nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any time an interrupt is generated. This function can be configured on any of the GPIOs even though GPIO1 is
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. by default used for this function. Connect a pull-up resistor from the nIRQ pin to an appropriate voltage supply (typically VSYS or VIO_IN). nIRQ is typically used to drive the interrupt input of the system processor. Many of the ACT81460's functions support interrupt- generation. These are typically masked by default to block unnecessary interrupts but may be unmasked via the I 2C interface per the user’s choice through firmware. In general every output can generate interrupts due to current limits, UV or OV conditions. GPIOs can also be configured to generate interrupts when the GPIO is configured as a digital input. Push button function, manual reset, input UV/OV, thermal shutdown and other such functions can also trigger interrupts and these are available in the register map of the master control core, also referred to as the master tile. Examples of conditions that can cause nIRQ to trigger are: 1. Die temperature warning generated 2. Any buck regulator exceeding peak current limit for 8 cycles after soft start or a UV/OV condition. 3. Any LDO regulator exceeding current limit for more than 20uS after soft start or a UV/OV condition. 4. Input goes above OVP threshold or falls below the UV threshold. 5. Watch Dog timer expiring. 6. Push Button status when the nPBIN pin is asserted. The PB status register bit and PB counter register can then be used to check the PB time and take appropriate action. If any of the faults occur and the nIRQ output is enabled, the nIRQ pin will be driven low. Following the nIRQ pin being asserted, a read operation of the interrupt causing status bit will clear the interrupt, so the interrupt is cleared upon reading provided the interrupt causing condition is removed. nRESET The ACT81460 provides a reset function to issue a master reset to the system CPU/controller. nRESET is immediately asserted low when either the VIN voltage is above or below the UV or OV thresholds or any power supply that is connected to the nRESET functionality goes below its Power Good threshold. The IC’s specific CMI configures which power supplies are connected to the nRESET functionality. After startup, nRESET de-as- serts after a programmable delay time when VIN and all connected power supply outputs are above their re- spective UVLO thresholds. The reset delay time, 20ms to 100ms, is controlled by the I 2C TRST_DLY register bits. The IC’s CMI programs the specific GPIOx pin used for the reset functionality. The CMI also programs which regulators outputs are monitored for the reset functionality. Output Under/Over Voltage The ACT81460 monitors the output voltages for under voltage and over voltage conditions. If an output enters an UV/OV fault condition, the IC asserts IRQ and nRESET and shuts down all outputs for 100ms and then restarts with the programmed power up sequence. If an output is in current limit, it is possible that its voltage can drop below the UV threshold which also shuts down all outputs. If this behavior is not desired, mask the appropriate fault bit. If the fault is masked, the fault status bit shows the real-time fault status. Note that the IC’s specific CMI sets the defaults for which regulators mask the UV and OV fault conditions. Output Current Limit The ACT81460 incorporates overcurrent for all converters and load switches. Refer to each section for the details. Thermal Warning and Thermal Shutdown The ACT81460 monitors its internal die temperature and reports a warning via nIRQ when the temperature rises above the Thermal Warning Threshold of typically 125 deg C. It shuts down all outputs when the tempera- ture increases above 155 deg C. The Thermal Warning can be masked via I 2C. The temperature warning and fault flags still provide real-time status even if the faults are masked. Masking just prevents the faults from being reported via the nIRQ pin. The IC includes a Thermal Low Power mode. When the die temperature goes above 70°C, the IC places a 100kΩ resistor on the output of the LDOs to ground. This prevents the output voltages from increasing due to leakage through the internal FETs. Sequencing The ACT81460 provides the end user with extremely versatile sequencing capability that can be optimized for many different applications. Each output has four basic sequencing parameters: input trigger, turn-on delay, turn-off delay, and output voltage. Each of these parameters is controlled via the ICs internal registers. The specifics for this IC as well as others are detailed at the end of the datasheet. Contact sales@active- semi.com for custom sequencing configurations. Refer to the Active-Semi Application Note AN116, ACT81460VM101 Register Definitions, for full details on the I 2C register map functionality and programming ranges. Input trigger . The input trigger for a regulator is the event that turns that regulator on. Each output can have a separate input trigger. The input trigger can be the
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. internal power ok (POK) signal from one of the other regulators, the internal VIN POK signal, or an external signal applied to an input pin such as EXT_PG or GPIO. This flexibility allows a wide range of sequencing possibilities, including having some of the outputs be sequenced with an external power supply or a control signal from the host. As an example, if the LDO1 input trigger is Buck1, LDO1 will not turn on until Buck1 is in regulation. Input triggers are defined at the factory and can only be changed with a custom CMI configuration. The GPIOx outputs can be connected to an internal power supply’s POK signal and used to trigger external supplies in the overall sequencing scheme. The GPIOx inputs can also be connected to an external power supply’s power good output and used as an input trigger for an ACT81460 supply. Turn-on Delay. The turn-on delay is the time between an input trigger going active and the output starting to turn on. Each output’s turn-on delay is configured via its I 2C bit ON DELAY . Turn-on delays can be changed after the IC is powered on, but they are volatile and reset to the factory defaults when power is recycled. Turn-off Delay. The turn-off delay is the time between an input trigger going inactive and the output starting to turn off. Each output’s turn-off delay is configured via its I2C bit OFF DELAY. Turn-off delays can be changed after the IC is powered on, but they are volatile and reset to the factory defaults when power is recycled. Turn-off delays are valid when entering SLEEP mode, DPSLP mode, and when turning off the IC. Turn-off delays are not implemented in fault conditions. Output Voltage. The output voltage is each regulator’s desired voltage. Each buck’s output voltage is programmed via its I 2C bits VSET0 and VSET1. The output regulates to VSET0 in ACTIVE mode. They can be programmed to regulate to VSET1 in DVS, SLEEP, and DSPSLP modes. Each LDO has a single register, VSET, to set its output voltage. Each output’s voltage can be changed after the IC is powered on, but the new setting is volatile and is reset to the factory defaults when power is recycled. Output voltages can be changed on the fly. If a large output voltage change is required, it is best to make multiple smaller changes. This prevents the IC from detecting an instantaneous over or under voltage condition because the fault thresholds are immediately changed, but the output takes time to respond. Dynamic Voltage Scaling On-the-fly dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for the two buck converters is available via either the I 2C interface o r a G P I O . D V S a l l o w s s y s t e m s t o s a v e p o w e r b y quickly adjusting the microprocessor performance level when the workload changes. Note that DVS is not a different operating state. The IC operates in the ACTIVE state, but just regulates the outputs to a different voltage. Each buck converter operates at its VOUT0 voltage in normal operation and operates at its VOUT1 voltage when the DVS input trigger is active. DVS can be implemented three ways. The first method is to individually put each buck c o n v e r t e r i n D V S b y m a n u a l l y w r i t i n g a n e w v o l t a g e regulation setpoint into its VOUT0 register. DVS can also be implemented for both buck converters at one time via a single GPIO input. The IC’s default CMI determines the specific GPIO used for the DVS input. Refer to the CMI Options section at the end of this datasheet. This setting can be modified with a custom CMI. DVS can also be implemented for both buck converters at one time via I 2C. One of three I 2C registers controls each buck converters DVS function. Writing a 1 into the appropriate register puts the buck converter into DVS. The register choices are DVS_FROM_I2C_DB9, DVS_FROM_I2C_DB10, and DVS_FROM_I2C_DB11. Each buck’s DBSTBY register programs which register enables its DVS function. The user can change the default settings after power up. For CMI 101, Buck1 DVS is disabled by default. Buck2 is controlled by DVS_FROM_I2C_DB9. Writing a 1 into this register puts Buck2 into DVS, but does not affect Buck1. Note that each specific CMI allows DVS contro by either a GPIO or I 2C, but not both. For fault free operation, the user must ensure output load conditions plus the current required to charge the output capacitance during a DVS rising voltage condition does not exceed the current limit setting of the regulator. As with any power supply, changing an output voltage too fast can require a current higher than the current limit setting. The user must ensure that the voltage step, slew rate, and load current conditions do not result in an instantaneous loading that results in a current limit condition.

The VIN operat- ing range is 4.0V to 5.5V, but it withstands voltage surges up to 20V. VIN power the Smart Switch, two back-to-back protec- tion FETs that actively disconnect VIN from VSYS when the input voltage goes above 5.8V. The Smart Switch also acts as a linear regulator to control the VSYS volt- age, which powers the linear charger and other power rails. The regulated Smart Switch regulates VSYS to 4.8V. Connect a 1uF ceramic input bypass capacitor directly between VIN and PGNDx VSYS VSYS is the output of the Smart Switch. It powers the rest of the system, the linear charger, and the switching converters. Connect a 10uF ceramic bypass capacitor from VSYS to PGND. VBAT The VBAT pins are the output of the linear charger. Note that the battery voltage is not regulated at VBAT, but at the VBATS pin. Connect 10uF ceramic output bypass capacitor directly between VBAT and PGND. VBATS VBATS is the battery voltage sense pin. The battery voltage is regulated at the VBATS pin. Kelvin connect input VBATS as close to the battery input terminals as possible. OUTLx The OUTLx pins are the outputs of the LDO linear reg- ulators. These are also LDO regulation points. VINBx The VINBx pins are the inputs to the buck and buck- boost regulators. Each pin is a dedicated input to its switching regulator. The VINBx pins must be directly connected to the VSYS output. Each VINBx pin must have a dedicated ceramic bypass capacitor that is con- nected to PGND. Proper capacitor selection and place- ment are critical to good power supply performance. ISET ISET sets the maximum battery charge current. Con- nect a 1.2kohm to 15kohm resistor between ISET and AGND to set the fast charge current. See the Active Path Linear Charger section for more information. NTC NTC is the battery temperature sense input. Connect a negative temperature coefficient thermistor from NTC to AGND. This pin provides a constant current output and the resulting voltage at this pin is used to calculate the battery temperature. VINLx The VINL123 pins are dedicated input pins for LDO1, LDO2, and LDO3. The three LDO inputs are independ- ent from each other. They can be connected to the same or to different input voltage rails. The VINL123 voltages should be higher than their respective LDO output voltages to maintain regulation. Connect 1uF ce- ramic input bypass capacitor directly between each VINL123 pin and PGND. SWx The SWx pins are the switch nodes for their respective switching converters. Connect the inductors directly to the SWx pins. VBST VBST is the boost converter output pin. The VBST pin must have a dedicated ceramic bypass capacitor that is connected to PGND. Proper capacitor selection and placement are critical to good power supply perfor- mance. ISNS ISNS is the current sensing input pin for the boost con- verter when it is configured for a constant current output. Connect the return side of the constant current load to ISNS. The load’s return side is typically the cathode of a n L E D s t r i n g . N o te t h a t I S N S i s a l w ay s r e gu l a t e d t o 0.25V. VINLSx The VINLS456 pins are dedicated input pins for Load Switch 4, 5, and 6. Connect 1uF ceramic input bypass capacitor directly between each VINLS123 pin and ground. The capacitor’s ground should be connected to load switch’s input supply’s output capacitor’s ground. GPIOx The GPIOx pins can be configured as inputs, outputs, or other special functions. See the GPIO Functionality section of the DS for more details. NC This pin is not internally connected to the IC. It can be left open, shorted to GND, or shorted to the VIO_IN pin.

Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. Active Semi recommends that the buck converter’s out- put voltage be kept within +/- 20% of the default output voltage to maintain accuracy. Voltage changes larger than +/- 20% may require different factory trim settings (new CMI) to maintain accuracy. Dynamic Voltage Scaling Each buck converter supports Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS). In normal operation, each output regulates to the voltage programmed by its VSET0 register. During DVS, each output can be programmed to regulate to its VSET0 or VSET1 voltage. When DVS is enabled via I 2C, the IC’s digital core steps the output setting through each voltage step between the initial and final settings. This ensures a constant and controlled slew rate. During a high to low voltage transi- tion, the regulator switches in an internal 40Ω resistor to ensure the output voltage maintains a constant slew rate under light load conditions. When switching between VSET0 and VSET1 in DVS mode, the digital core steps the output voltage between the two values one register step at a time. During this transition, the regulator’s OV and UV faults are ignored to prevent false fault conditions. Also for DVS, it is rec- ommended to keep the range within +-20% of the nom- inal CMI set point. In some cases, greater than 20% de- viation would be allowed. Note that if the user changes the VSETx register while the buck converter is regulating to that register setting, the IC does not mask out the OV and UV faults. Either make small voltage steps or mask OV and UV fault reg- isters to prevent a fault condition. Enable / Disable Control During normal operation, each buck may be enabled or disabled via the I 2C interface by writing to that regula- tor's ON bit. Note that disabling a regulator that is used as an input trigger to another regulator may or may not disable the other regulators following it, depending on the specific CMI settings. Each buck converter has a load discharge function designed to quickly pull the out- put voltage to ground when the converter is disabled. The circuit connects an internal resistor (41ohm) from the output to PGND when the converter is disabled. POK and Output Fault Interrupt Each DC/DC features a Power-OK (POK) status bit that can be read by the system microprocessor via the I 2C interface. If an output voltage is lower than the power- OK threshold, typically 8.0% below the programmed regulation voltage, that regulator’s POK bit will be 0. If a DC/DC's nFLTMSK bit is set to 1, the ACT81460 interrupts the processor if the DC/DC's output voltage falls below the Power-OK (POK) threshold. In this case, nIRQ asserts low and remains asserted until either the regulator is turned off or the output goes back into reg- ulation, and the POK bit has been read via I 2C. The POK interrupt is cleared when the register is read and the fault is no longer present. Minimum On-Time ACT81460 does not have minimum on-time limitations that prevent the use of any desired switching frequency. Overcurrent and Short Circuit Protection Each buck converter provides overcurrent and short cir- cuit protection. Overcurrent protection is achieved with cycle-by-cycle current limiting. The peak current thresh- old is set by the ILIM_SET I 2C bits. If the peak current reaches the programmed threshold, the IC turns off the power FET for that switching cycle. If the load current continues to increase, this condition results in shutdown due to an UV condition from the shortened switching cycle. If the short circuit or overload condition occurs quickly, the cycle-by-cycle current can exceed the programmed threshold. When it reaches 125% of the programmed current for two consecutive switching cycles, the IC is- sues an overcurrent warning and asserts nIRQ low. When it reaches 125% of the programmed current for eight consecutive switching cycles, the buck converter shuts down. Compensation The BUCK regulators utilize a proprietary internal com- pensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and optimize transient perfor- mance over their full operating range. No compensation design is required; simply follow a few simple guide lines described below when choosing external compo- nents. Input Capacitor Selection Each buck converter has a dedicated input pin and power ground pin. Each buck converter must have a dedicated input capacitor that is optimally placed to min- imize the power routing loops for each buck converter. Note that even though each buck converter has sepa- rate inputs, all buck converter inputs must be connected to the same voltage potential. Each regulator requires a high quality, low-ESR, ce- ramic input capacitor. 1uF capacitors are typically suit- able, but this value can be increased without limit. Smaller capacitor values can be used with lighter output

Be sure to consider the capacitor’s DC bias effects and maximum ripple current rating when using capacitors smaller than 0805. A capacitor’s actual capacitance is strongly affected by its DC bias characteristics. The input capacitor is typi- cally an X5R, X7R, or similar dielectric. Use of Y5U, Z5U, or similar dielectrics is not recommended. Input capaci- tor placement is critical for proper operation. Each buck’s input capacitor must be placed as close to the IC as possible. The traces from VINBx to the capacitor and from the capacitor to PGNDx should as short and wide as possible. Inductor Selection The Buck converters utilize a Constant ON-Time and a hysteretic mode hybrid topology and a proprietary inter- nal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection and to optimize transient performance over the entire operating range. The ACT81460 is designed to operate with 1.0μH Choose an inductor with a low DC-resistance, and avoid induc- tor saturation by choosing inductors with DC ratings that exceed the maximum output current by at least 30%. The following equation calculates the inductor ripple current. ൌ ቀ1 െ𝑉ை் 𝑉ூே ቁ∗ 𝑉ை் 𝐹ௌௐ ∗𝐿 Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input voltage, FSW is the switching frequency, and L is the inductor value. Output Capacitor Selection The BUCK regulators were designed to take advantage of the benefits of ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low ESR capacitors. They are designed to op- erate with 10µF to 44µF output capacitors over most of their output voltage ranges. In order to ensure stability, the Buck effective capacitance must be greater than 4.7uF. The output capacitance can be increased to re- duce output voltage ripple and improve load transients if needed. Design for an output ripple voltage less than 1% of the output voltage. The following equation calcu- lates the output voltage ripple as a function of output capacitance when the IC in in PWM mode.

Use of Y5U, Z5U, or similar dielectrics are not recommended due to their wide variation in capacitance over temperature and volt- age ranges. The output capacitance also affects output ripple in PFM mode as well as the output voltage discharge time when the converter is disabled.

When LDOx_ILIM_SHUTDOWN_DIS = 1, the LDO turns off when it reaches current limit. When the register = 0, and the UV fault is masked, the output voltage drops based on the load resistance. When the output voltage drops below 1V, the current folds back to ~60mA to reduce power dissipation in the IC. If the UV fault is not masked, the LDO shuts off when the output voltage drops below the UV threshold, waits 100ms, and then tries to restart. The LDO’s real-time current limit status is reported in the ILIM_LDOx I 2C registers. The contents of these reg- isters are latched until read via I2C. When in current limit, the IC asserts nIRQ low provided the fault is not masked. Overcurrent and short circuit conditions can be masked via the I 2C bit ILIM_FLTMSK_LDOx. When masked, the LDO still shuts down or limits current (based on the LDOx_ILIM_SHUTDOWN_DIS bit). If the IC shuts down due to current limit, it automatically restarts in 14ms. Compensation The LDOs are internally compensated and require very little design effort, simply select input and output capac- itors according to the guidelines below. Input Capacitor Selection Each LDO has a dedicated input pin, VINL1, VINL2, and VINL3. Each input pin requires a high quality, low-ESR, ceramic input capacitor. A 1uF capacitor to AGND is typically suitable, but this value can be increased without limit. The input capacitor should be a X5R, X7R, or similar dielectric. Output Capacitor Selection Each LDO requires a high quality, low-ESR, ceramic output capacitor. A 2.2uF capacitor to AGND is typically suitable, but this value can be increased without limit. The output capacitor is should be a X5R, X7R, or similar dielectric. The LDO effective output capacitance must be greater than 0.8uF. LDO3 in Load Switch Mode LDO3 can be configured as a load switch. Configure LDO3 into LDO mode by setting I 2C bit EN_LDOx_LOAD_SWITCH_MODE = 0. Configure it into load switch mode by setting the register = 1. When LDO3 reaches current limit, the output turns off for 14ms and then restarts. It continues in the “hiccup” mode until the overcurrent condition is removed. LDO3 does not generate an interrupt in an overcurrent condi- tion. Note that LSW456 do generate an interrupt with an overcurrent condition.

The buck-boost has a load discharge function designed to quickly pull the output voltage to ground when it is disabled. The circuit connects an in- ternal resistor (41ohm) from the output to PGND34 when the buck-boost is disabled. POK and Output Fault Interrupt The buck-boost features a Power-OK (POK) status bit that can be read by the system microprocessor via the I 2C interface. If the output voltage is lower than the power-OK threshold, typically 90% of the programmed regulation voltage, the POK bit will be 0. If the nFLTMSK bit is set to 1, the ACT81460 interrupts the processor if the output voltage falls below the Power-OK (POK) threshold. In this case, nIRQ asserts low and remains asserted until either the regulator is turned off or goes back into regulation, and the POK bit has been read via I 2C. The POK interrupt is cleared when the register is read and the fault is no longer pre- sent. Overcurrent and Short Circuit Protection The buck-boost converter provides overcurrent and short circuit protection. Overcurrent protection is achieved with cycle-by-cycle current limiting. The peak current threshold is fixed at 0.85A. If the peak current reaches the programmed threshold, the IC turns off the power FET for that switching cycle. If the load current continues to increase, this condition results in shutdown due to an UV condition from the shortened switching cycle. If the short circuit or overload condition occurs quickly, the cycle-by-cycle current can exceed the programmed threshold. When it reaches 125% of the programmed current for two consecutive switching cycles, the IC is- sues an overcurrent warning and asserts nIRQ low. When it reaches 125% of the programmed current for eight consecutive switching cycles, the buck-boost con- verter shuts down. Compensation The buck-boost utilizes a proprietary internal compen- sation scheme to simultaneously simplify external com- ponent selection and optimize transient performance over their full operating range. No compensation design is required; simply follow a few simple guide lines de- scribed below when choosing external components. Input Capacitor Selection The buck-boost converter has a dedicated input pin, VINBB. Its ground pin, PGND34 is common with the boost converter. VINBB must have a dedicated input ca- pacitor that is optimally placed to minimize the power routing loop. Note that even though the buck-boost con- verter has a separate input, the input must be con- nected to the same voltage potential as the buck regu- lators. The VINBB pin requires a high quality, low-ESR, ce- ramic input capacitor. 1uF capacitors are typically suit- able, but this value can be increased without limit. Smaller capacitor values can be used with lighter output loads. Choose the input capacitor value to keep the in- put voltage ripple less than 50mV. A capacitor’s actual capacitance is strongly affected by its DC bias characteristics. The input capacitor is typi- cally an X5R, X7R, or similar dielectric. Use of Y5U, Z5U, or similar dielectrics is not recommended. Input capaci- tor placement is critical for proper operation. Each buck’s input capacitor must be placed as close to the IC as possible. The traces from VINBx to the capacitor and from the capacitor to PGNDx should as short and wide as possible. Inductor Selection The ACT81460 is designed to be used with a 1µH to 2.2µH. Use 1µH for a 3.3V output and use 2.2µH for a 5V output. 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%. Output Capacitor Selection The buck-boost regulator is designed to take advantage of the benefits of ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low ESR capacitors. VBBST must have a ded- icated low-ESR capacitor bypass directly to PGND34 that is optimally placed to minimize the power routing loop. It is designed to operate with 22µF to 44µF output capacitors over most of its output voltage range. In or- der to ensure stability, the Buck-Boost effective capaci- tance must be greater than 8uF. The output capacitance can be increased to reduce output voltage ripple and improve load transients if needed. Be sure to consider the capacitor’s DC bias effects and maximum ripple current rating when using capacitors smaller than 0805. A capacitor’s actual capacitance is strongly affected by its DC bias characteristics. The output capacitor is typi- cally an X5R, X7R, or similar dielectric. Use of Y5U, Z5U, or similar dielectrics are not recommended due to their wide variation in capacitance over temperature and volt- age ranges.

BOOST STEP-UP REGULATOR General Description The ACT81460 contains a fully integrated boost con- verter. It can boost the battery voltage up to 20V and provide up to 40mA of output current. The maximum al- lowable output current is dependent on the battery and output voltages. The boost is very versatile and can be used for many different applications such as driving a LED backlight, driving audio speakers, implementing audio functions such as audio beeps, or haptics for communicative feedback. The boost operates with high efficiency and achieve a peak efficiency up to 95%. It is internally compensated, requiring only three external components (Cin, Cout, and L) for operation. The ACT81460 boost regulator is highly configurable and can be quickly and easily recon- figured via I 2C. This allows it to support changes in hard- ware requirements without the need for PCB changes. Operating Modes The boost converter operates with a standard fixed fre- quency. It can be operated with voltage feedback, cur- rent feedback, or both. Constant Voltage Feedback Mode The boost can operate as a standard boost converter. Configure the boost for this mode by leaving the ISNS pin disconnected from the boost circuitry. The ISNS pin can be operated separately and independently from the boost converter. In constant voltage (CV) mode, the boost can supply up to 40mA. The maximum current should be reduced to 25mA when the output voltage is > 17V. Constant Current Feedback Mode The boost can operate as a current sink. In this config- uration, the boost is not needed. The ISNS pin sinks a constant current, regardless of the voltage applied to it. This mode is useful for driving LEDs that have another power source. Configure the boost for this mode by con- necting the external circuit directly to the ISNS pin. The boost converter can be operated separately and inde- pendently from the ISNS pin. Note that the ISNS pin al- ways regulates to 0.25V. In constant current mode (CV) mode, the output can drive up to 40mA. The more LEDs, the higher the re- quired output voltage. If the voltage across the LEDs exceeds 17V, the maximum current should be reduced to 25mA. Constant Voltage/Current Feedback Mode The boost can operate in a dual constant voltage/cur- rent mode. Either the voltage or current loop dominates, depending on the operating conditions. In this mode, both the voltage and current regulation loops are active. As long as the load current is less than the current reg- ulation threshold, the voltage loop dominates and main- tains a constant output voltage. If the load current in- creases to the current regulation threshold, the current loop takes over and reduces the output voltage to main- tain a constant current. This mode is similar to a lab power supply with a fixed voltage output setting and a maximum current limit setting. The output voltage is sensed at the VBST pin. The current is sensed by the ISNS pin, which is always regulated to 0.25V This mode is useful for driving LEDs that do not have their own power source. Configure the boost for this mode by connecting the output of the boost converter (VBST pin) to the load, which is typically the anode of an LED string. Then connect the cathode of the LED string to the ISNS pin. Synchronous Rectification The boost regulator features an integrated synchronous rectifier (or low side FET), maximizing efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers. Soft-Start The boost regulator includes a fixed 80ms soft-start ramp which limits the rate of change of the output volt- age, minimizing input inrush current and ensuring that the output powers up in a monotonic manner that is in- dependent of loading on the output. This circuitry is ef- fective any time the regulator is enabled, as well as after responding to a short circuit or other fault condition. The boost converter’s synchronous FET is connected between the BSTSW pin (switch node) and the VBST pin (output voltage). Because of this, there is no way to disconnect the output voltage from the input source. When the VSYS voltage softstarts, the VSYS voltage passes through the synchronous FET and charges up the boost converter output voltage. VBST then stays at the VSYS voltage until the boost converter is enabled. After the boost converter is enabled, the output voltage ramps to the setpoint with the 80ms softstart time. Output Voltage Setting The boost converter regulates to the voltage defined by I 2C register VSET. It can be programmed between 5V and 20.75V in 250mV steps. The following equation cal- culates the output voltage based on the VSET register setting. Vboost = 5V + VSET * 0.25V

Short circuit current is not limited because the synchronous FET does not block current flow from the SWBST pin to the output. The VSYS voltage is always connected to VBST. The user must take care to not load or leave a load con- nected to the boost regulator output when it is disabled. The output of the boost regulator cannot be discharged to 0V due to these constraints and any load left con- nected to the boost regulator can continue to draw power because the boost regulator output voltage al- ways trails the input voltage by one diode voltage. Maximum Output Current The maximum allowable output current is a function of the peak switch current, the input voltage, and the out- put voltage. The peak switch current limit can be set to 1.0A or 1.35A. This setting is not user adjustable. See the CMI Options section of the datasheet for each CMI’s setting. The following equation approximates the maxi- mum available output current. Note that this is the boost output current. The constant current into the ISNS pin is still limited to 39.375mA. 𝐼 2 ∗ 𝑉ூே 𝑉ை் Compensation The boost converter utilizes a proprietary internal com- pensation scheme. No compensation design is required; simply follow a few simple guide lines described below when choosing external components. Input Capacitor Selection The boost converter requires dedicated input capacitor. It should be a high quality, low-ESR, ceramic input ca- pacitor. 1uF capacitors are typically suitable, but this value can be increased without limit. Inductor Selection The boost converter requires a 2.2µH inductor. Ensure that the inductor is rated for at least 1A peak current. The inductor’s peak current is much higher than the average output current. Output Capacitor Selection The boost converter is designed to take advantage of the benefits of ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low ESR capacitors. It is designed to operate with a 10µF output capacitor. In order to ensure stability, the Boost effective capacitance must be greater than 4µF and less than 22µF. The maximum allowable capacitance includes both the capacitance at the boost’s output and at the load’s input. Be sure to consider the capacitor’s DC bias effects and maximum ripple current rating when using capacitors smaller than 0805. A capacitor’s actual capacitance is strongly affected by its DC bias characteristics. The output capacitor is typi- cally an X5R, X7R, or similar dielectric. Use of Y5U, Z5U, or similar dielectrics are not recommended due to their wide variation in capacitance over temperature and volt- age ranges.

LOAD SWITCHES General Description The ACT81460 features three, 100mA load switches. They operate from 0.6V to the VSYS voltage. The Load Switches allow a power rail to be switched on or off to create a power “island” for system loads. This “island” can be turned off to minimize power consumption when those loads are not needed. Each Load Switch can also be incorporated into the ICs startup sequencing with programmable turn-on and turn-off delay times. They can also be programed to be turned on or off in SLEEP and DPSLP states. Softstart The load switch outputs are slew rate controlled to min- imize inrush current during turn on. The rise time is ap- proximately 9.6mV/µs. Enable / Disable Control During normal operation, the load switches may be en- abled or disabled via the I 2C interface by writing to their ON bits. Note that disabling a load switch if it is used as an input trigger to another regulator may or may not dis- able the other regulator following it, depending on the specific CMI settings. The load switches have a load discharge function designed to quickly pull the output voltage to ground when it is disabled. The circuit con- nects an internal resistor (50ohm) from the output to PGND34 when the load switch is disabled. Current Limit The load switches provide output current limiting. They implement current limit by measuring the voltage drop across their internal FETs. With an overload or short cir- cuit condition, the excessive current causes the voltage drop across the load switch to exceed the current limit threshold. The current limit circuit senses this voltage and shuts down the load switch. Following a 14ms wait time, the load switch turns on again and goes through a soft start. When sensing the current limit, a minimum deglitch time is used before shutting down the load switch. The deglitch time and retry time set the duty cy- cle of the load switch turning on and off under an output short circuit conditions and this is chosen to protect the load switch from electrical over stress. For extremely light load conditions, the load switch cur- rent limit functionality can be disabled to reduce the IC’s quiescent current. The I 2C bit EN_34_OK_OV_ILIM controls the functionality for LSW4 and LDO3 when in load switch mode. The I 2C bit EN_LSW_ILIM_COMPS controls the functionality for LSW5 and LSW6. Note, there is a difference between stand-alone load switches and LDO load switch modes when it comes to detecting a current limit event. When the LDO123 are configured as a load switch, there is no interrupt when ILIM triggers. The switch retries to power up after 14ms. If the current limit is still present it continues this “hiccup” cycle until the high current condition is removed. This is different from stand-alone LSW456. For these load switches when ILIM triggers, they “hiccup” with 14ms cycle, but also generate an interrupt. Input Capacitor Selection The load switches each require a quality, low-ESR, ce- ramic input capacitor. 1uF capacitors are typically suit- able, but this value can be increased without limit. Output Capacitor Selection The load switches each require a quality, low-ESR, ce- ramic input capacitor. 1uF capacitors are typically suit- able, but this value can be increased without limit. LDO3 Load Switch Note that LDO3 can also be configured to operate as a load switch. Refer to the LDO section of the datasheet for more information on this functionality.

ACTIVE PATH LINEAR CHARGER (APLC) General Description The ACT81460 low power PMIC incorporates Active- Semi’s proprietary ActivePath linear battery charging architecture. It is a full featured charger that performs a variety of advanced battery management functions, in- cluding fault protection and management, thermal reg- ulation, and temperature monitoring. It includes an 800mA, linear, single cell Li-Ion battery charger and a Smart Switch. It interfaces to the host microprocessor via I 2C to provide very flexible functionality with its built in programmability. The charger is capable of status and fault monitoring and is designed to work with many different host pro- cessors via interrupt generation and status and fault re- porting. Host processor interrupts are generated for any change in battery charging state: 1) JEITA temp threshold crossed 2) Battery voltage low 3) Battery removed/inserted 4) Charge source plugged/unplugged 5) Charge condition / state change – Precondition, fast charge, top off and end of charge reached. ActivePath Architecture The ActivePath architecture provides a system level charging architecture that dynamically optimizes battery charging while ensuring that power delivery to the sys- tem is not interrupted. At the input of the ActivePath charger is a high voltage LDO that can withstand input voltages as high as 20V. There are variety of protection features such as input over voltage (OV), input under voltage (UV), input cur- rent limit. The ActivePath circuity provides a very simple means of implementing a solution that maximizes avail- able power from the input source without overloading the source. An example would be a 0.5A current limited USB input source. The ActivePath circuit ensures that the full 0.5A current is used. A c t i v e P a t h c i r c u i t r y a u t o m a t i c a l l y d e t e c t s t h e s t a t e o f the input supply, the battery and the system and then reconfigures itself to optimize the system power. A higher priority is always given to system power to en- sure uninterrupted power to the system. It does this by independently managing the input current and the charge current. This allows the battery to charge as quickly as possible while ensuring that the total ACT81460 input current does not exceed the input source capability. This is ideal for weak, or current lim- ited input sources. The ActivePath architecture operates in two separate modes, dynamic charge current control (DCCC) and dy- namic voltage charge current control (DVCCC). The DCCC mode can be used for a “weak” input source when the maximum available current is known. In DCCC mode, the ACT81460 regulates the total input current into VIN. This allows the user to set the total in- put current below the power source’s maximum current rating. This ensures that the input power source’s cur- rent rating is not exceeded and that its voltage does not collapse. The DCCC loop regulates the input current to the pro- grammed current limit setting. The system consumes its required current, and the remaining current is used to charge the battery. The charging current is dynamically adjusted as the system current changes. If the system current exceeds the maximum pro- grammed input current due to current spikes, the charger stops charging and goes into supplement mode. In supplement mode, the battery supplies current to the system. This maintains the maximum allowable input current while still allowing the system to run properly. This maximum input current is programmable to 0.5A, 1A, 1.5A, or 2A via I 2C register bits IN_ILIM[1:0] DVCCC mode can be used to maximize the total avail- able power from the input source, even when the cur- rent capability is not known. It also prevents “weak” in- put sources from collapsing. The DVCCC loop regulates the input voltage on VIN. If the system current plus charging current is greater than the input source’s current capability, the input voltage collapses. The DVCCC loop becomes active and limits the VIN current. It also prioritizes the system current over the charging current. The DVCCC loop starts limit- ing the charge current when VIN drops to the pro- grammed threshold. It linearly decreases the charge current until VIN drops to 0.7V below the threshold. If the system current continues to increase, the charger goes into supplement mode and the battery provides current to the system. The VDCCC threshold is programmable to “Disable”, 4.25V, 4.5V, or 4.75V via I 2C register bits VDCCC[1:0]. When set to “Disable”, the control loop does not limit the input voltage drop. Smart Switch The Smart Switch serves three functions: VSYS softstart, VSYS linear regulator, and VIN overvoltage blocking. VSYS is the system voltage, which is limited
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. to a maximum of 5.5V by the Smart Switch. The VSYS output powers the rest of the system and the other con- verters. The Smart Switch doubles as a linear regulator to regulate VSYS to voltages lower than VIN. Softstart The Smart Switch provides softstarting to the VSYS out- put when input power is applied. This provides a 500µs controlled ramp time to limit inrush currents. Overvoltage Blocking The Smart Switch continuously monitors the VIN volt- age. If VIN goes above the 5.7V overvoltage threshold, the switch opens to protect the VSYS bus and all down- stream loads. It has a 20V blocking capability to handle extreme overvoltage conditions. When an overvoltage condition occurs, the ACT81460 opens the Smart Switch to protect VSYS from the overvoltage condition. VSYS Regulator The Smart Switch regulates VSYS to 4.8V. This pro- vides a constant VSYS operating voltage, even when VIN varies. Contact Active Semi if a different VSYS reg- ulation voltage is required. If VIN is lower than the pro- grammed regulation voltage, the Smart Switch fully turns on with a resulting resistance of 200mΩ. Linear Charger The ACT81460 autonomously charges a single cell Li- Ion battery. The IC automatically detects the battery’s state of charge and starts charging in the proper charge state. It completes full or partial charging cycles without host intervention. The charger includes all Li-Ion charg- ing modes and protection including trickle charging, pre- charge, fast charge, over and under voltage protection, JEITA charging profiles, and thermal regulation. It also includes Active Semi’s ActivePath Architecture. Charger Enable The charger is automatically enabled when the VSYS voltage is greater than the battery voltage by > 100mV. The charger can be enabled and disabled by I 2C bit CHG_EN. Battery Charging Profile The IC follows the standard Li-Ion battery charge profile with four charging phases: trickle charge, precondition- ing, constant current, and constant voltage. The battery charge current is a function the battery voltage and the IC’s hardware and register settings. Figure 2 shows the charge profile and Table 9 shows these available set- tings. VBAT Charging Current Current set by < VTRICKLE I TRICKLE I2C Configurable: 10mA, 25mA VTRICKLE ~ VPRE I PRE I2C Configurable: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of ICHG current VPRE ~ VTERM I CHG Hardware Configurable: 10mA to 800mA > VTERM 0A None Table 9: Charging Current Settings Trickle Charge – When the battery voltage is lower than the battery short threshold voltage, VBAT_SHORT, the battery can only accept very low charge currents.

Precondition Charge - When the battery voltage is higher than the trickle voltage threshold, the precondi- tion charge phase begins. In this phase, the IC charges the battery at a reduced charge current. This safely con- ditions the battery chemistry to prepare the battery to accept the full charging current. The precondition voltage threshold, VPRE, is set via I register bits VPRE[3:0]. The precharge voltage is pro- grammable between 2.7V to 3.4V. The following equa- tion calculates the precharge voltage. 𝑉𝑃𝑅𝐸 ൌ 2.7𝑉 50𝑚𝑉 ∗ 𝑉𝑃𝑅𝐸ሾ3: 0ሿ Where VPRE[3:0] is the decimal equivalent value in this register. For example, if VPRE[3:0] = 0110 (6 decimal), the precharge voltage = 3.0V. The precharge current, I PRE, is set by I 2C register bits IPRE[1:0]. The constant current is set to 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% of the fast charge current setting. The constant current, precondition phase continues un- til the battery voltage increases to the precondition volt- age threshold.

In this phase, the battery chemistry is ready to accept the full charging current and the charger applies the full fast charge current, I CHG. The ACT81460 fast charge current is set by placing a resistor from the ISET pin to ground. The following equation calculates the correct R ISET resistor value in ohms 𝐼ுீ ∗ 10,000 Where ICHG is the desired fast charge current in amps. RISET should stay between 15kΩ and 1.2MΩ to keep the fast charge current between 10mA and 800mA. During fast charge, the charger regulates a constant current until the battery voltage reaches the termination voltage, VTERM. When the battery reaches VTERM, the charger changes from constant current regulation to constant voltage regulation. During this time, the charger keeps the battery at the VTERM voltage and the charging current starts to drop. When the current drops below the termination current, ITERM, charging is terminated and the battery is considered to be at the end of charge (EOC). The termination voltage threshold, VTERM, is set via I 2C register bits VTERM[4:0]. VTERM is programmable between 3.9V to 4.52V. The following equation calcu- lates VTERM. 𝑉𝑇𝐸𝑅𝑀 ൌ 3.9𝑉 20𝑚𝑉 ∗ 𝑉𝑇𝐸𝑅𝑀ሾ4: 0ሿ Where VTERM[4:0] is the decimal equivalent value in this register. For example, if VTERM[4:0] = 01111 (15 decimal), the termination voltage = 4.2V. The termination current, ITERM, is set to 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% (note that ERD has different values in different places) of I CHG by I2C register bits ITERM[1:0]. End of Charge – When the charge current drops below ITERM, the charger considers the battery fully charged. The charge current drops to 0A and the charger contin- ues to monitor the battery voltage. With no charging cur- rent, the battery can drop due to self-discharge or due to being externally loaded. If the battery voltage drops below the recharge voltage, V RECHG, the charger re-en- ters the Fast Charge phase. V RECHG is a function of the termination voltage and I 2C register BAT_RECHG_THRESHOLD[1:0]. The BAT_RECHG_THRESHOLD[1:0] register sets V RECHG to 80mV, 120mV, 160mV, or 200mV below the termina- tion voltage. Input Voltage and Current Control If the input power source is not capable of supporting the charging current plus the system current, the VIN input voltage drops. The ACT81460 eliminates this
Rev 1.0, 18-Dec-2018 Innovative PowerTM www.active-semi.com ActiveSwitcherTM is a trademark of Active-Semi Copyright © 2018 Active -Semi, Inc. problem by providing an additional control loop that pre- vents VIN from dropping below 4.25V. This function al- lows the charger to maximize power drawn from the in- put source without collapsing the input voltage. This maximizes the power from VIN and minimizes current from the battery to increase battery life. When the system current plus charging current is greater than the input source’s current capability, the in- put voltage collapses. When it collapses below the VDCCC threshold, the charger reduces the charging current. This prioritizes the system current over the charging current. If VIN continues to drop, the charger continues to reduce the charging current in an attempt to keep VIN regulated to 4.25V or higher. If VIN drops to 3.8V, the charge current goes to 0A and the charger goes into supplement mode where it sources current to VSYS. The VDCCC threshold is programmable to “Disable”, 4.25V, 4.5V, or 4.75V via I 2C register bits VDCCC[1:0]. When set to Disable, the control loop does not limit the input voltage drop. In addition to the input voltage regulation, the ACT81460 can also regulate the total input current. This allows the user to set the total input current below the power source’s maximum current rating. This ensures that the input power source that powers the charger is not subject to over current and subsequently collapsing the voltage on the input source. This function in combi- nation with the input voltage regulation loop allows the system to maximize the power drawn from the VIN source for both charging the battery and powering the system as much as possible to conserve battery power and extend the battery life of the system. This maximum input current is programmable to 0.5A, 1A, 1.5A, or 2A via I 2C register bits IN_ILIM[1:0] Die Thermal Regulation The ACT81460 charger includes a maximum die tem- perature regulation loop. This feature maximizes charge current with high ambient thermal conditions. If the charging conditions increase the die temperature to 115°C, the thermal loop takes over and starts reducing the charge current. The charge current is linearly re- duced until the die temperature reaches 150°C. At 150°C, the charging current is 0A. At 155°C the IC re- ports an interrupt, bit BAT_TEMP_STAT is set to 1, and Charge Fault is set to 1. Thermal regulation can be dis- abled by setting I 2C bit DIS_THERM_REG to 1. NTC Battery Temperature Detection The ACT81460 NTC pin is used to monitor the battery temperature. An NTC resistor connected between NTC and AGND provides temperature information. This in- formation is used by the charger to comply with the in- dustry standard JEITA charging guidelines. The NTC monitoring is designed to work with a typical 10kΩ @ 25°C. Figure 4 shows that the NTC pin provides a con- stant current output that results in a voltage across the N T C r e s i s t o r . I n t e r n a l c o m p a r a t o r s m o n i t o r t h e N T C voltage and allow the IC to take the appropriate action if the measured temperature exceeds the thresholds de- fined in the JEITA Battery Temperature Control section of the datasheet. By detecting the pull-down resistor on the NTC pin, the ACT81460 shall be able to detect pres- ence of the battery as well as the battery temperature during charging. NTCREF_60 REF_50 REF_45 REF_0 REF_10 NTC 10K@ 25C Figure 4: NTC Temperature Thresholds JEITA Battery Temperature Control To improve the safety of charging Li-ion batteries, the JEITA guideline was released on April 20, 2007. The guideline emphasizes the importance of avoiding a high charge current and high charge voltage at both extreme low and high temperature ranges. To comply with JEITA battery charging requirements, and to improve battery reliability and safety, the ACT81460 reduces the termi- nation voltage and/or the charging current when the bat- tery is at temperature extremes. When the battery tem- perature is outside the normal charging range, the IC either reduces the safety timer speeds or stops the tim- ers until the temperature goes back into the normal charging range. When stopped, the timers are not reset. They hold their value and resume normal counting when charging restarts. Refer to the Safety Timer Speed Set- tings table for specific details.

Table 10 shows the resulting charge functionality and safety timer settings. Figure 5 shows this in graphical form. Charging Safety Timers The ACT81460 provides two internal charging safety timers: Precondition Safety Timer and Fast Charge Safety Timer. The Precondition Timer is 4000s. It is activated when the charger is enabled and the battery voltage is less than the precharge voltage, VPRE. If the Precondition timer expires, the charger goes into the Fault state charging stops. The Fast Charge Timer is 12000s. It is activated when the battery voltage is above the precharge voltage, VPRE. If the Fast Charge Timer expires, the charger goes into the Fault state charging stops. Both safety timers are automatically stopped any time the charging is enabled but charging is suspended. This occurs when the battery temperature exceeds the allowable temperature limits. Both safety timers run at ½ speed when VIN Input Reg- ulation, IIN Current Regulation, or Die Thermal Regula- tion are active. This feature allows more time to charge without falsely triggering the fault timer. Additionally, the Fast Charge Safety Timer runs at ½ speed in some JEITA charging modes. See the JEITA Battery Temperature Control paragraph for more details.

Fast Charge Current set by ISET Pin = 1C Maximum Charge Voltage: VTERM[4:0] VTERM -100mV 0.5C 0°C 10°C 45°C 50°C 60°C VTERM -150mV Typical 4.35V Optional (stop charge at 45C) JEITA Charging Profile Optional (full charge current from 0 – 10C) Figure 5: NTC Temperature Thresholds Battery Path Impedance (Cord) Compensation The ACT81460 includes a Battery Path Impedance Compensation (Cord Comp) feature that speeds the charging cycle. This feature compensates for system level voltage drops due to PCB, connector, wiring re- sistances, and battery pack current sense resistances. These voltage drops effectively reduce the voltage at the battery. This results in the charger reaching the con- stant voltage portion of the charge cycle too soon. The Cord Comp feature allows the charger to stay in the constant current mode longer, which reduces the charg- ing time. The ACT81460 allows the user to compensate for the system level resistances by increasing the battery ter- mination voltage, VTERM as a function of charge cur- rent according to the equation below. This feature is im- ple men ted w ith th e I2C r eg ister: CORD_ COM P_ SE T- TING[2:0]. This register sets the system level resistance that is being accounted for. It can be programmed be- tween 0mΩ and 420mΩ. Setting the value to 0mΩ ef- fectively disables Cord Comp. The user should always pick a Cord Comp value lower than the actual system level resistance. The following equation shows the Cord Comp voltage, VCOMP. 𝑉 Where VCORD is the increase in VTERM, CORD_COMP_SETTING is nearest Cord Comp to the actual system resistance, and ICHG is the actual charg- ing current. As an example, if the actual system resistance is 320mΩ, select CORD_COMP_SETTING = 300mΩ. If ICHG = 800mA, and VTERM = 4.2V, the charger stays in fast charge mode until the battery voltage reaches 4.2V + 800mA*300mΩ = 4.44V. I t i s i m p o r t a n t t o n o t e t h a t t h e a c t u a l b a t t e r y v o l t a g e never exceeds 4.2V because of the system level volt- age drops. It is also important to select a Cord Comp value that is LOWER than the actual system resistance. This en- sures that the battery voltage never exceeds the VTERM voltage. The charger is capable of status and fault monitoring and is designed to work with a host of host processor via interrupt generation and status and fault reporting. Host processor interrupts shall be generated for any change in battery charging state: 1) JEITA temp threshold crossed 2) Battery voltage low 3) Battery removed/inserted 4) Charge source plugged/unplugged 5) Charge condition / state change – Precondition, fast charge, top off and end of charge reached.
