STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Description
Compensation
REG1 and REG2 are fixed-frequency, currentmode, synchronous PWM step-down converters
that achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. REG1
is capable of supplying up to 350mA of output current, while REG2 supports up to 550mA. These
regulators operate with a fixed frequency of
1.6MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications
and allowing the use of small external components.
REG1 and REG2 are available with a variety of
standard and custom output voltages, as described
in the Ordering Information section of this datasheet.
REG1 and REG2 utilize current-mode control and a
proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection
and optimize transient performance over their full
operating range. No compensation design is required; simply follow a few simple guidelines described below when choosing external components.
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT8325 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 ACT8325 die temperature exceeds
160°C, and prevents the regulators from being enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ).
100% Duty Cycle Operation
Both REG1 and REG2 are 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 batterypowered applications.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and
noise induced upon the voltage source. A 2.2µF
ceramic capacitor for each of REG1 and REG2 is
recommended for most applications.
Synchronous Rectification
Output Capacitor Selection
REG1 and REG2 both feature integrated n-channel
synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency and
minimizing the total solution size and cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers.
For most applications, 10µF ceramic output capacitors are recommended for both REG1 and REG2.
Although the these regulators were 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.
Enabling and Disabling REG1 and REG2
Each of the ACT8325's regulators features independent pin-controlled enable control. Drive ON1 to
a logic-high to enable REG1, drive ON1 to a logiclow to disable REG1. Similarly, drive ON2 to a
logic-high to enable REG2, drive ON2 to a logic-low
to disable REG2. When disabled, each regulator's
supply current drops to less than 1µA.
Output Voltage Programming
Figure 4:
Output Voltage Programming
OUTx
Soft-Start
REG1 and REG2 each include matched soft-start
circuitry. When enabled, the output voltages track
the internal 80µs soft-start ramp and both power up
in a monotonic manner that is independent of loading on either output. This circuitry ensures that both
outputs power up in a controlled manner, greatly
simplifying power sequencing design considerations.

components as follows: Set RFB2 = 51kΩ, then
calculate RFB1 using the following equation:

where VFBX is 0.625V. Finally choose CFF using the
following equation:
C FF =
2.2 × 10 −6
R FB1
(2)
Where RFB1 = 47kΩ, use 47pF.
Inductor Selection
REG1 and REG2 utilize current-mode control and a
proprietary internal compensation scheme to simultaneously simplify external component selection
and optimize transient performance over their full
operating range. These devices were optimized for
operation with 3.3µH inductors, 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%.

PCB Layout Considerations
High switching frequencies and large peak current
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. Stepdown 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 loop 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 FBx pin. For
adjustable output voltage options, connect the feedback resistors and feed-forward capacitor to the
FBx 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.
