SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
timing and sequence. The ACT8342 asserts nIRQ
low when nMSTR is asserted low, providing a
simple means of alerting the system processor
when the user wishes to shut the system down.
Asserting nIRQ interrupts the system processor,
initiating an interrupt service routine in the
processor which will reveal that the user pressed
the push-button. The microprocessor may validate
the input, such as by ensuring that the push-button
is asserted for a minimum amount of time, then
initiates a software-controlled power-down routine,
the final step of which is to de-assert the ON1 input,
disabling REG1 and REG2 and shutting the system
down.
General Description
The ACT8342 offers an array of system
management functions that allow it to provide
optimal performance in a wide range of
applications.
System Startup and Shutdown
The ACT8342 features a flexible control
architecture that supports a variety of softwarecontrolled enable/disable functions that make it a
simple yet flexible and highly configurable solution.
The ACT8342 is automatically enabled when any of
the following conditions exists:
nMSTR Enable Input
1) nMSTR is asserted low, or
In most applications, connect nMSTR to an active
low, momentary push-button switch to utilize the
ACT8342’s closed-loop enable/disable functionality.
If a momentary-on switch is not used, drive nMSTR
to GA or to a logic low to initiate a startup
sequence.
2) ON1 is asserted high, or
3) ON2 is asserted high, or
4) ON3 is asserted high.
If any of these conditions is true, the ACT8342
enables and ON1 drives REG1, ON2 drives REG2,
and ON3 drives REG3.
Enable/Disable Inputs
The ACT8342 provides three manual
enable/disable inputs. When driven high, ON1
enables REG1, ON2 enables REG2, and ON3
enables OUT3.
Manual Enable Due to Asserting nMSTR Low
System startup is initiated when the user presses
the push-button, asserting nMSTR low. When this
occurs, REG1 is enabled, which in turn enables the
processor to allow it to control the system power up
sequence. Once the power-up routine is
successfully completed, the microprocessor must
assert ON1 so that the ACT8342 remains enabled
after the push-button is released by the user. Upon
completion of the start-up sequence the processor
assumes control of the power system and all further
operation is software-controlled.
nIRQ Output
The ACT8342 provides an active-low, open-drain
push-button status output that sinks current when
nMSTR is driven to a logic-low. Connect a pull-up
resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate voltage supply.
nIRQ is typically used to drive the interrupt input of
the system processor, and is useful in a variety of
software-controlled enable/disable control routines.
Manual Enable Due to Asserting ON1 High
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT8342 is compatible with applications that
do not utilize it’s push-button control function, and
may be enabled by simply driving ON1 to a logichigh. In this case, the signal driving ON1 controls
enable/disable timing, although software-controlled
enable/disable sequences are still supported if the
processor assumes control of the power system
once the startup sequence is completed.
The ACT8342 integrates thermal shutdown
protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting
from excessive thermal stress, as may be
encountered under fault conditions. This circuitry
disables all regulators if the ACT8342 die
temperature exceeds 160°C, and prevents the
regulators from being enabled until the IC
temperature drops by 20°C (typ).
Shutdown Sequence
Once a successful power-up routine is completed,
the system processor controls the operation of the
power system, including the system shutdown

STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
Input Capacitor Selection
REG1 is a fixed-frequency, current-mode,
synchronous PWM step-down converters that
achieves a peak efficiency of up to 97%. REG1 is
capable of supplying up to 350mA of output current
and operates with a fixed frequency of 1.6MHz,
minimizing noise in sensitive applications and
allowing the use of small external components.
REG1 is available with a variety of standard and
custom output voltages, as well as an adjustable
output voltage option.
Output Capacitor Selection
100% Duty Cycle Operation
REG1 is capable of operating at up to 100% duty
cycle. During 100% duty-cycle operation, the
high-side power MOSFET is held on continuously,
providing a direct connection from the input to the
output (through the inductor), ensuring the lowest
possible dropout voltage in battery-powered
applications.
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and
noise induced upon the voltage source. A 2.2µF
ceramic input capacitor is recommended for most
applications.
For most applications, a 10µF ceramic output
capacitor is recommended. Although REG1 was
designed to take advantage of the benefits of
ceramic capacitors, namely small size and very-low
ESR, low-ESR tantalum capacitors can provide
acceptable results as well.
Inductor Selection
REG1 features an integrated n-channel
synchronous rectifier, which maximizes efficiency
and minimizes the total solution size and cost by
eliminating the need for an external rectifier.
REG1 utilizes current-mode control and a
proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component
selection and optimize transient performance over
its full operating range. REG1 was optimized for
operation with a 3.3µH inductor, although inductors
in the 2.2µH to 4.7µH range can be used. Choose
an inductor with a low DC-resistance, and avoid
inductor saturation by choosing inductors with DC
ratings that exceed the maximum output current of
the application by at least 30%.
Enabling and Disabling REG1
Thermal Shutdown
Synchronous Rectification
REG1 is enabled or disabled using ON1. Drive ON1
to a logic-high to enable REG1. Drive ON1 to a
logic-low to disable REG1, reducing supply current
to less than 1µA.
Soft-Start
REG1 includes internal soft-start circuitry, and
enabled its output voltage tracks an internal 80µs
soft-start ramp so that it powers up in a monotonic
manner that is independent of loading.
Compensation
REG1 utilizes current-mode control and a
proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component
selection and optimize transient performance over
its full operating range. No compensation design is
required, simply follow a few simple guidelines
described below when choosing external
components.

The ACT8342 integrates thermal shutdown
protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting

disables all regulators if the ACT8342 die
temperature exceeds 160°C, and prevents the

Output Voltage Programming
Figure 4 shows the feedback network necessary to
set the output voltage when using the adjustable
output voltage option. Select components as
follows: Set RFB2 = 51KΩ, then calculate RFB1 using
the following equation:
⎛V
⎞
RFB1 = RFB 2 ⎜⎜ OUT1 − 1 ⎟⎟
⎝ VFB

where RFB1 = 47kΩ, use 47pF.
PCB Layout Considerations
High switching frequencies and large peak currents
make PC board layout an important part of stepdown DC/DC converter design. A good design
minimizes excessive EMI on the feedback paths
and voltage gradients in the ground plane, both of
which can result in instability or regulation errors.
Step-down DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input
current, so the input capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of
vias if possible. The inductor, input filter capacitor,
and output filter capacitor should be connected as
close together as possible, with short, direct, and
wide traces. The ground nodes for each regulator's
power loops should be connected at a single point
in a star-ground configuration, and this point should
be connected to the backside ground plane with
multiple vias. For fixed output voltage options,
connect the output node directly to the OUT1 pin.
For adjustable output voltage options, connect the
feedback resistors and feed-forward capacitor to
the OUT1 pin through the shortest possible route. In
both cases, the feedback path should be routed to
maintain sufficient distance from switching nodes to
prevent noise injection. Finally, the exposed pad
should be directly connected to the backside
ground plane using multiple vias to achieve low
electrical and thermal resistance.

LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
REG2 and REG3 are low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators (LDOs) that are optimized for low-noise
and high-PSRR operation, achieving more than
60dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz.
Output Current Capability
A good design places input and output capacitors
as close to the LDO inputs and output as possible,
and utilizes a star-ground configuration for all
regulators to prevent noise-coupling through
ground. Output traces should be routed to avoid
close proximity to noisy nodes, particularly the SW
nodes of the DC/DCs.
REG2 supplies up to 80mA while REG3 supplies up
to 150mA of load current. Excellent performance is
achieved over each regulator's entire load current
ranges.
Output Current Limit
In order to ensure safe operation under over-load
conditions, each LDO features current-limit circuitry
with current fold-back. The current-limit circuitry
limits the current that can be drawn from the output,
providing protection in over-load conditions. For
additional protection under extreme over current
conditions, current-fold-back protection reduces the
current-limit by approximately 30% under extreme
overload conditions.
Enabling and Disabling the LDOs
REG2 and REG3 are enabled or disabled using
ON2 and ON3. Drive ON2 and ON3 to a logic-high
to enable REG2 and REG3. Drive ON2 and ON3 to
a logic-low to disable REG2 and REG3, reducing
supply current to less than 1µA.
Output Capacitor Selection
REG2 and REG3 each require only a small ceramic
capacitor for stability. For best performance, each
output capacitor should be connected directly
between the OUT2 and OUT3 and G pins as
possible, with a short and direct connection. To
ensure best performance for the device, the output
capacitor should have a minimum capacitance of
1µF, and ESR value between 10mΩ and 200mΩ.
High quality ceramic capacitors such as X7R and
X5R dielectric types are strongly recommended.
PCB Layout Considerations
The ACT8342’s LDOs provide good DC, AC, and
noise performance over a wide range of operating
conditions, and are relatively insensitive to layout
considerations. When designing a PCB, however,
careful layout is necessary to prevent other circuitry
from degrading LDO performance.
