The ACT8848 features four fixed-frequency,
current-mode, synchronous PWM step-down
converters that achieve peak efficiencies of up to
97%. These regulators operate with a fixed
frequency of 2.25MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive
applications and allowing the use of small external
components. These buck regulators supply up to
2.8A of output current and can fully satisfy the
power and control requirements of the multi-core
application processors. Dynamic Voltage Scaling
(DVS) is supported either by dedicated control pins,
or through I2C interface to optimize the energy-pertask performance for the processors. This device
also includes eight low-noise LDOs (up to 350mA
per LDO), one always-ON LDO and an integrated
backup battery charger to provide the complete
power system for the processors.
The power sequence and reset controller provides
power-on reset, SW-initiated reset, and power cycle
reset for the processor. It also features the
watchdog supervisory function. Multiple sleep
modes with autonomous sleep and wake-up
sequence control are supported.
The thermal management and protection
subsystem allows the host processor to manage the
power dissipation of the PMU and the overall
system dynamically. The PMU provides a thermal
warning to the host processor when the
temperature reaches a certain threshold such that
the system can turn off some of the non-essential
functions, reduce the clock frequency and etc to
manage the system temperature.
The ACT8848 is available in a compact, Pb-Free
and RoHS-compliant TQFN66-48 package.

SYSTEM CONTROL INFORMATION
Interfacing with the Telechips TCC88xx Processors
The ACT8848 is optimized for the Telechips
TCC88xx and Samsung S5PC210 processors,
supporting both the power domains as well as the
signal interface. The following paragraphs describe
how to design ACT8848 with the TCC88xx
processors.
While the ACT8848 supports many possible
configurations for powering these processors, one
of the most common configurations is detailed in
this datasheet.

Control Signals
Enable Inputs
The ACT8848 features a variety of control inputs,
which are used to enable and disable outputs
depending upon the desired mode of operation.
PWREN, PWRHLD are logic inputs, while nPBIN is
a unique, multi-function input.
Figure 2:
nPBIN Input
nPBIN Multi-Function Input
The ACT8848 features the nPBIN multi-function
pin, which combines system enable/disable control
with a hardware reset function. Select either of the
two pin functions by asserting this pin, either
through a direct connection to GA, or through a
50kΩ resistor to GA, as shown in Figure 2.
Manual Reset Function
The second major function of the nPBIN input is to
provide a manual-reset input for the processor. To
manually-reset the processor, drive nPBIN directly
to GA through a low impedance (less than 2.5kΩ).
An internal timer detects the duration of the MR
event:
Short Press / Soft-Reset:
If the MR is asserted for less than 4s, ACT8848
commences a soft-reset operation where nRSTO
immediately asserts low, then remains asserted low
until the nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset
time-out period expires. A status bit, SRSTAT[ ] , is
set after a soft-reset event. The SRSTAT[ ] bit is
automatically cleared to 0 after read. After Short
Press, set WDSREN[ ] to 1 about 1s after nRSTO
de-assert then clear WDSREN[ ] for properly
shutdown sequence.
Long Press / Power-cycle:
If the MR is asserted for more than 4s, ACT8848
commences a power cycle routine in which case all
regulators are turned off and then turned back on. A
status bit, PCSTAT[ ], is set after the power cycle.
The PCSTAT[ ] bit is automatically cleared to 0 after
read.
nRSTO Output
nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low
upon startup or when manual reset is asserted via
the nPBIN input. When asserted on startup, nRSTO
remains low until reset time-out period expires.
When asserted due to manual-reset, nRSTO
immediately asserts low, then remains asserted low
until the nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset
time-out period expires.
Connect a 10kΩ or greater pull-up resistor from
nRSTO to an appropriate voltage supply.
nIRQ Output
nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any
time an interrupt is generated. Connect a 10kΩ or
greater pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate
voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to drive the
interrupt input of the system processor.
Many of the ACT8848's functions support interruptgeneration as a result of various conditions. These
are typically masked by default, but may be
unmasked via the I2C interface. For more
information about the available fault conditions,
refer to the appropriate sections of this datasheet.
nPBSTAT Output
nPBSTAT is an open-drain output that reflects the
state of the nPBIN input; nPBSTAT is asserted low
whenever nPBIN is asserted, and is high-Z
otherwise. This output is typically used as an
interrupt signal to the processor, to initiate a
software-programmable routine such as operating
mode selection or to open a menu. Connect
nPBSTAT to an appropriate supply voltage through
a 10kΩ or greater resistor.

Push-Button Control
The ACT8848 is designed to initiate a system
enable sequence when the nPBIN multi-function
input is asserted. Once this occurs, a power-on
sequence commences, as described below. The
power-on sequence must complete and the
microprocessor must take control (by asserting
PWRHLD) before nPBIN is de-asserted. If the
microprocessor is unable to complete its power-up
routine successfully before the user releases the
push-button, the ACT8848 automatically shuts the
system down. This provides protection against
accidental or momentary assertions of the pushbutton. If desired, longer “push-and-hold” times can
be implemented by simply adding an additional time
delay before asserting PWREN or PWRHLD.
activity for the PMU. In the case where the system
software stops responding and that there is no I2C
transactions for 4s, the watchdog timer expires. As
a result, the PMU either perform a soft-reset or
power cycle, depending on whether WDSREN [ ] or
WDPCEN [ ] is set.
Software-Initiated Power Cycle
ACT8848 supports software-initiated power cycle.
Once the SIPC[ ] bit is set, the PMU waits for 8ms
and then initiate a power cycle to restart the entire
system.
Control Sequences
The ACT8848 features a variety of control
sequences that are optimized for supporting system
enable and disable.
Enabling/Disabling Sequence
A typical enable sequence is initiated whenever the
nPBIN is asserted low via 50KΩ resistance. The
power control diagram is shown in Figure 3. During
the boot sequence, the microprocessor must assert
PWRHLD, and PWREN, to ensure that the system
remains powered after nPBIN is released. Once the
power-up routine is completed, the system remains
enabled after the push-button is released as long as
PWRHLD is asserted high. If the processor does
not assert PWRHLD before the user releases the
push-button, the boot-up sequence is terminated
and all regulators are disabled. This provides
protection against "false-enable", when the pushbutton is accidentally depressed, and also ensures
that the system remains enabled only if the
processor successfully completes the boot-up
sequence.
As with the enable sequence, a typical disable
sequence is initiated when the user presses the
push-button, which interrupts the processor via the
nPBSTAT output. The actual disable sequence is
completely software-controlled, but typically
involved initiating various “clean-up” processes
before the processor finally de-asserts PWRHLD.
Watch-Dog Supervision
The ACT8848 features a watchdog supervisory
function. An internal watchdog timer of 4s is
unmasked by setting either WDSREN[ ] or
WDPCEN [ ] bit to one. Once enabled, the
watchdog timer is reset whenever there is I2C

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
I2C Interface
The ACT8848 features an I2C interface that allows
advanced programming capability to enhance overall
system performance. To ensure compatibility with a
wide range of system processors, the I2C interface
supports clock speeds of up to 400kHz (“Fast-Mode”
operation) and uses standard I2C commands. I2C
write-byte commands are used to program the
ACT8848, and I2C read-byte commands are used to
read the ACT8848’s internal registers. The ACT8848
always operates as a slave device, and is addressed
using a 7-bit slave address followed by an eighth bit,
which indicates whether the transaction is a readoperation or a write-operation, [1011010x].
Table 2:
BATLEV Falling Threshold
SDA is a bi-directional data line and SCL is a clock
input. The master device initiates a transaction by
issuing a START condition, defined by SDA
transitioning from high to low while SCL is high. Data
is transferred in 8-bit packets, beginning with the
MSB, and is clocked-in on the rising edge of SCL.
Each packet of data is followed by an “Acknowledge”
(ACK) bit, used to confirm that the data was
transmitted successfully.
For more information regarding the I2C 2-wire serial
interface, go to the NXP website: http://www.nxp.com.
Housekeeping Functions
Programmable battery Voltage Monitor
The ACT8848 features a programmable batteryvoltage monitor, which monitors the voltage at INL2
(which should be connected directly to the battery)
and compares it to a programmable threshold
voltage. The VBATMON comparator is designed to
be immune to noise resulting from switching, load
transients, etc. The BATMON comparator is disable
by default; to enable it, set the BATLEV[3:0] register
to one of the value in Table 2. Note that there is a
200mV hysteresis between the rising and falling
threshold for the comparator. The VBATDAT [-] bit
reflects the output of the BATMON comparator. The
value of VBATDAT[ ] is 1 when VINL2 < BATLEV;
value is 0 otherwise.
The VBATMON comparator can generate an
interrupt when VINL2 is lower than BATLEV[ ] voltage.
The interrupt is masked by default by can be
unmasked by setting VBATMSK[ ] = 1.

Thermal Protection
The ACT8848 integrates thermal shutdown
protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting
from excessive thermal stress, as may be
encountered under fault conditions.
Thermal Interrupt
If the thermal interrupt is unmasked (by setting
nTMSK[ ] to 1), ACT8848 can generate an interrupt
when the die temperature reaches 120°C (typ.).
Thermal Protection
If the ACT8848 die temperature exceeds 160°C, the
thermal protection circuitry disables all regulators
and prevents the regulators from being enabled until
the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ.).

STEP-DOWN DC/DC REGULATORS
General Description
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 are fixed-frequency,
current-mode, synchronous PWM step-down
converters that achieves peak efficiencies of up to
97%. These regulators operate with a fixed frequency
of 2.25MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive
applications and allowing the use of small external
components. Additionally, REG1, REG2, REG3, and
REG4 are available with a variety of standard and
custom output voltages, and may be softwarecontrolled via the I2C interface for systems that
require advanced power management functions.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 are capable of
operating at up to 100% duty cycle. During 100%
duty cycle operation, the high-side power MOSFETs
are 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.
Operating Mode
By default, REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 operate
in fixed-frequency PWM mode at medium to heavy
loads, then transition to a proprietary power-saving
mode at light loads in order to save power.
Synchronous Rectification
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 each feature
integrated synchronous rectifiers, maximizing
efficiency and minimizing the total solution size and
cost by eliminating the need for external rectifiers.
Soft-Start
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 include internal 400
us soft-start ramps which limit the rate of change of
the output voltage, minimizing input inrush current
and ensuring that the output powers up in a
monotonic manner that is independent of loading on
the outputs. This circuitry is effective any time the
regulator is enabled, as well as after responding to a
short-circuit or other fault condition.
Compensation
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 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 guide lines described below when choosing
external components.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and noise
induced upon the voltage source. A 10μF ceramic
capacitor is recommended for each regulator in most
applications.
Output Capacitor Selection
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 were designed to
take advantage of the benefits of ceramic capacitors,
namely small size and very-low ESR. REG1, REG2,
REG3 and REG4 are designed to operate with 33uF
or 44uF output capacitor over most of their output
voltage ranges, although more capacitance may be
desired depending on the duty cycle and load step
requirements.
Two of the most common dielectrics are Y5V and
X5R. Whereas Y5V dielectrics are inexpensive and
can provide high capacitance in small packages, their
capacitance varies greatly over their voltage and
temperature ranges and are not recommended for
DC/DC applications. X5R and X7R dielectrics are
more suitable for output capacitor applications, as
their characteristics are more stable over their
operating ranges, and are highly recommended.
Inductor Selection
REG1, REG2, REG3, and REG4 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 2.2μH or
1μH inductors. Choose an inductor with a low DCresistance, and avoid inductor saturation by choosing
inductors with DC ratings that exceed the maximum
output current by at least 30%.
Configuration Options
Output Voltage Programming
By default, each regulator powers up and regulates to
its default output voltage. For REG2, REG3 and
REG4, the output voltage is selectable by setting
corresponding VSEL pin that when VSEL is low,
output voltage is programmed by VSET0[-] bits, and
when VSEL is high, output voltage is programmed by
VSET1[-] bits. Also, once the system is enabled,
each regulator's output voltage may be independently
programmed to a different value. Program the output
voltages via the I2C serial interface by writing to the
regulator's VSET0[-] register if VSEL is low or
VSET1[-] register if VSEL is high as shown in Table
3.

Enable / Disable Control
During normal operation, each buck may be enabled
or disabled via the I2C interface by writing to that
regulator's ON[ ] bit.
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each DC/DC features a power-OK status bit that can
be read by the system microprocessor via the I2C
interface. If an output voltage is lower than the powerOK threshold, typically 7% below the programmed
regulation voltage, that regulator's OK[ ] bit will be 0.
If a DC/DC's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the ACT8848
will interrupt the processor if that DC/DC's output
voltage falls below the power-OK threshold. In this
case, nIRQ will assert low and remain asserted until
either the regulator is turned off or back in regulation,
and the OK[ ] bit has been read via I2C.
PCB Layout Considerations
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
via 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 starground configuration, and this point should be
connected to the backside ground plane with multiple
via. The output node for each regulator should be
connected to its corresponding OUTx pin through the
shortest possible route, while keeping sufficient
distance from switching nodes to prevent noise
injection. Finally, the exposed pad should be directly
connected to the backside ground plane using
multiple via to achieve low electrical and thermal
resistance.
High switching frequencies and large peak currents
make PC board layout an important part of step-down
DC/DC converter design. A good design minimizes
excessive EMI on the feedback paths and voltage

LOW-NOISE, LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
General Description
Output Discharge
ACT8848 features eight low-noise, low-dropout
linear regulators (LDOs) that supply up to 350mA.
Three of these LDOs (REG10, REG11, and
REG12) supports extended input voltage range
down to 1.7V. Each LDO has been optimized to
achieve low noise and high-PSRR.
Each of the LDOs features an optional output
discharge function, which discharges the output to
ground through a 1.5kΩ resistance when the LDO is
disabled. This feature may be enabled or disabled
by setting DIS[-]; set DIS[-] to 1 to enable this
function, clear DIS[-] to 0 to disable it.
Output Current Limit
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each LDO contains current-limit circuitry featuring a
current-limit fold-back function. During normal and
moderate overload conditions, the regulators can
support more than their rated output currents.
During extreme overload conditions, however, the
current limit is reduced by approximately 30%,
reducing power dissipation within the IC.
Each LDO features a power-OK status bit that
be read by the system microprocessor via
interface. If an output voltage is lower than
power-OK threshold, typically 11% below
programmed regulation voltage, the value of
regulator's OK[-] bit will be 0.
Compensation
The LDOs are internally compensated and require
very little design effort, simply select input and
output capacitors according to the guidelines below.
Input Capacitor Selection
can
the
the
the
that
If a LDO's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the ACT8848
will interrupt the processor if that LDO's output
voltage falls below the power-OK threshold. In this
case, nIRQ will assert low and remain asserted until
either the regulator is turned off or back in
regulation, and the OK[-] bit has been read via I2C.
PCB Layout Considerations
Each LDO requires a small ceramic input capacitor
to supply current to support fast transients at the
input of the LDO. Bypassing each INL pin to GA
with 1μF. High quality ceramic capacitors such as
X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly
recommended.
The ACT8848’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.
Output Capacitor Selection
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.
Each LDO requires a small 2.2μF ceramic output
capacitor for stability . For best performance, each
output capacitor should be connected directly
between the output and GA pins, as close to the
output as possible, and with a short, direct
connection. High quality ceramic capacitors such as
X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly
recommended.
Configuration Options
Output Voltage Programming
By default, each LDO powers up and regulates to
its default output voltage. Once the system is
enabled, each output voltage may be independently
programmed to a different value by writing to the
regulator's VSET[-] register via the I2C serial
interface as shown in Table 3.
Enable / Disable Control
During normal operation, each LDO may be
enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing
to that LDO's ON[ ] bit.
REFBP is a noise-filtered reference, and internally
has a direct connection to the linear regulator
controller. Any noise injected onto REFBP will
directly affect the outputs of the linear regulators,
and therefore special care should be taken to
ensure that no noise is injected to the outputs via
REFBP. As with the LDO output capacitors, the
REFBP bypass capacitor should be placed as close
to the IC as possible, with short, direct connections
to the star-ground. Avoid the use of via whenever
possible. Noisy nodes, such as from the DC/DCs,
should be routed as far away from REFBP as
possible.

ALWAYS-ON LDO (REG13)
General Description
REG13 is an always-on, low-dropout linear
regulator (LDO) that is optimized for RTC and
backup-battery applications. REG13 features lowquiescent supply current, current-limit protection,
and reverse-current protection, and is ideally suited
for always-on power supply applications, such as
for a real-time clock, or as a backup-battery or
super-cap charger.
Reverse-Current Protection
REG13 features internal circuitry that limits the
reverse supply current to less than 1µA when the
input voltage falls below the output voltage, as can
be encountered in backup-battery charging
applications. REG13's internal circuitry monitors the
input and the output, and disconnects internal
circuitry and parasitic diodes when the input voltage
falls below the output voltage, greatly minimizing
backup battery discharge.
Typical Application
Voltage Regulators
REG13 is ideally suited for always-on voltageregulation applications, such as for real-time clock
and memory keep-alive applications. This regulator
requires only a small ceramic capacitor with a
minimum capacitance of 0.47μF for stability. For
best performance, the output capacitor should be
connected directly between the output and GA, with
a short and direct connection.
Figure 4:
Typical Application of RTC LDO
Backup Battery Charging
REG13 features a constant current-limit, which
protects the IC under output short-circuit conditions
as well as provides a constant charge current, when
operating as a backup battery charger.
