ACT510x
23V Buck-Boost Converter with
Integrated MOSFETs
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT510x is a buck-boost converter with 4 inte-
grated MOSFETs. It offers a high efficiency, low com-
ponent count, compact solution for a wide input voltage:
3.9V to 23V
The 4 internal low resistance NMOS switches minimize
the size of the application circuit and reduce power
losses to maximize efficiency. Internal high side gate
drivers, which require only the addition of two small ex-
ternal capacitors, further simplify the design process. An
advanced switch control algorithm allows the buck-
boost converter to maintain output voltage regulation
with input voltages that are above, below or equal to the
output voltage. Transitions between these operating
modes are seamless and free of transients and subhar-
monic switching.
The ACT510x has been optimized to reduce input cur-
rent in shipping, shutdown, and standby for applications
which are sensitive to quiescent current draw, such as
battery-powered devices.
The ACT510x output voltage can be set between 3V ~
23V which can be configured by either I
2
C (ACT5101)
or an external resistor divider (ACT5102). The output
constant current limit and cord compensation makes it
flexible for any kinds of protocols such as USB PD, QC
3.0/4.0 etc. The system can be monitored and config-
ured by I
2
C as well. The build-in ADC can be read for
the information of input/output voltages and currents,
and the die temperature.
ACT510x integrates a 100mA LDO with OCP/UVLO
protection to provide power for the MCU and other pe-
ripheral components inside the system.
The ACT510x operation frequency can be configured
from 125 kHz to 1MHz, making the system design flex-
ible for components size and efficiency optimization.
The ACT510x has been optimized to reduce input cur-
rent for applications which are sensitive to quiescent
current draw, such as battery-powered devices.
The AC510x is available in 32-pin, 4 x 4 mm FCOL QFN
package.
