Rev PrA, 24-Jan-08
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
For most applications, a 22µF ceramic output capacitor is recommended. 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.
The patent-pending ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311
are current-mode, fixed-frequency PWM, synchronous step-down DC/DC converters that are capable
of delivering up to 1.5A (ACT8311) with efficiency of
up to 95%. These devices feature very lowresistance power MOSFETs and 100% duty cycle
operation, making them ideal choices for portable
applications requiring a 3.0V or 3.3V rail to be generated form a Li+ battery. These device operate
with a fixed frequency of 1.35MHz, minimizing noise
in sensitive equipment as well as optimizing both
efficiency and component size and cost.
Inductor Selection
These devices were optimized for operation with
3.3µH inductors, although inductors in the 1.5µH to
4.7µH range may be used. Choose an inductors
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%.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
These devices are capable of operating at up to
100% duty cycle operation. 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.
Output Voltage Setting
Figure 3 shows the feedback network necessary to
set the output voltage when using adjustable output
voltage options. output voltage options. Select components as follows: Set RFB2 = 200kΩ, calculate
RFB1 using the following equation:
Synchronous Rectification
⎛V
⎞
RFB1 = RFB2 ⎜⎜ OUT − 1⎟⎟
⎝ VFB
⎠
The ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311 each feature
integrated n-channel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the total solution
size and cost by eliminating the need for external
rectifiers.
Where VFB is 0.8V.
Figure 3:
Soft-Start
Output Voltage Setting
The ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311 each include
integrated soft-start circuitry. When enabled, the
output voltage track an internal 200µs soft-start
ramp so that the output power up in a controlled,
monotonic manner that is independent of loading.

Compensation
The ACT8309/ACT8310/ACT8311 each 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.
Enable/Disable Control
These devices may be enabled and disabled using
the EN input. Drive EN to a logic-high to enable the
regulator, drive EN to a logic-low to disable the
regulator. When disabled, each regulator’s quiescent supply current drops to less than 1µA.
Power-OK Output (POK)
Capacitor Selection
These devices feature an open-drain “Power-OK”
indicator output. This output sinks current whenever
the output voltage is (typically) 5% below the regulation voltage, and goes high-impedance when the
output voltage is above this threshold. To generate
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and
noise induced upon the voltage source. A 10µF
ceramic capacitor is recommended for most applications.

a logic-level “Power-OK” signal, simply connect a pullup resistor from POK to an appropriate output voltage.
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. 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 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 the output node for each regulator should be connected to its corresponding FB pin
through the shortest possible route, while keeping
sufficient distance from switching nodes to prevent
noise injection. Adjustable output versions should
follow the same guidelines, but additionally connect
the feedback resistors to the FB pin as close to the
IC as possible to minimize noise injection.
