FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Light Load Operation
As seen in the Functional Block Diagram, the
ACT6305 comprises a reference, low input startup
circuitry, feedback select, error comparator, control
logic and timers, internal power MOSFETs and current comparators.
Under light load conditions, the IC automatically
enters a power-saving mode by extending the OFF
time. This reduces switching losses and allows the
ACT6305 to maintain high efficiency across a very
wide load range.
Main Control Loop
Low Voltage Startup
The ACT6305 control architecture utilizes a series
of one-shot and current sense circuits to regulate
the output voltage with a very low quiescent supply
current of just 17µA. An ON cycle begins when FB
falls below the ACT6305’s internal reference voltage. During an ON cycle, the N-channel power
switch is turned on to connect the LX node to
ground, transferring energy from input supply to the
inductor. The ON cycle persists or the 1A current
limit is reached. When either of these conditions
occurs, the N-channel power switch turns off and
the OFF cycle begins. During the OFF cycle, the
energy stored in the inductor is released into the
output capacitor and load through the synchronous
rectifier. Once the 1µs minimum OFF time expires,
another ON cycle begins when the FB voltage
drops below the reference voltage.
The ACT6305 uses proprietary start-up circuitry that
allows it to achieve very low voltage startup down to
1V. The ACT6305 remains in low voltage startup
mode until VOUT exceeds 1.85V. The ACT6305 cannot support its full rated load current when operating in low-voltage startup mode. Care should be
taken to minimize load current during startup.
Innovative PowerTM
Shutdown
In shutdown mode, all internal circuits including the
power switch and the synchronous rectifier are disabled, reducing quiescent supply current to less
than 1µA. Note that in shutdown mode, a DC path
from the input supply to the output still exists due to
the body diode of the synchronous rectifier.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Board Layout
Output Voltage Selection
To reduce noise and increase efficiency, high current traces should be wide and direct, and an extended ground plane should be used. Switching
current paths should be laid out as tightly as possible, with the inductor and input and output capacitors located close to the IC in order to reduce electromagnetic radiation.
The ACT6305 provides fixed output voltage options
of 3.3V or 5V, or the output voltage may be adjusted over a 2V to 5V range by connecting an
external resistive voltage divider. When Output Voltage is set by external resistive voltage divider, add
a 47pF to 150pFcapacitor as feedforward capacitor
(CFF) as shown in Figure 1.
If an external resistor divider is used, place the resistors very close to the FB and G pins, and keep
them away from the high switching current paths.

Output Capacitor Selection
A minimum value of output capacitance is required
to maintain loop stability and normal operation of
the IC. The output capacitor value should be in the
range of 22µF to 100µF. To obtain small output ripple, use a large capacitor with low ESR. Ceramic
capacitors should be used for highest performance.
If a tantalum capacitor is used, choose only low
ESR types and a smaller low ESR capacitor of
about 1µF can be connected in parallel to filter high
frequency noise.
Inductor Selection
For most applications, the inductor value should be
in the range of 4.7µH to 22µH. Smaller inductors
provide faster load transient response and have a
smaller physical size, but they also result in higher
ripple current and reduce the maximum available
output current. Choose inductors with low series
resistance to obtain the highest efficiency.
