ActiveCC is a patent-pending control scheme to
achieve high accuracy sensorless constant current
control. ActiveCC eliminates the expensive, high
accuracy current sense resistor, making it ideal for
battery charging applications and high-brightness
LED drive for architectural lighting. The ACT4501
achieves higher efficiency than traditional constant
current switching regulators by eliminating the
sense resistor and its associated power loss.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
regulating output voltage to regulating output
current, and the output voltage will drop with
increasing load.
CV/CC Loop Regulation
As seen in Functional Block Diagram, the ACT4501
is a peak current mode pulse width modulation
(PWM) converter with CC and CV control. The
converter operates as follows:
The Oscillator normally switches at 125kHz.
However, if FB voltage is less than 0.6V, then the
switching frequency decreases until it reaches a
typical value of 20kHz at VFB = 0.15V.
A switching cycle starts when the rising edge of the
Oscillator clock output causes the High-Side Power
Switch to turn on and the Low-Side Power Switch to
turn off. With the SW side of the inductor now
connected to IN, the inductor current ramps up to
store energy in the magnetic field. The inductor
current level is measured by the Current Sense
Amplifier and added to the Oscillator ramp signal. If
the resulting summation is higher than the COMP
voltage, the output of the PWM Comparator goes
high. When this happens or when Oscillator clock
output goes low, the High-Side Power Switch turns
off.
Enable Pin
The ACT4501 has an enable input EN for turning
the IC on or off. The EN pin contains a precision
0.8V comparator with 75mV hysteresis and a 4µA
pull-up current source. The comparator can be used
with a resistor divider from VIN to program a startup
voltage higher than the normal UVLO value. It can
be used with a resistor divider from VOUT to disable
charging of a deeply discharged battery, or it can be
used with a resistor divider containing a thermistor
to provide a temperature-dependent shutoff
protection for over temperature battery. The
thermistor should be thermally coupled to the
battery pack for this usage.
At this point, the SW side of the inductor swings to
a diode voltage below ground, causing the inductor
current to decrease and magnetic energy to be
transferred to output. This state continues until the
cycle starts again. The High-Side Power Switch is
driven by logic using HSB as the positive rail. This
pin is charged to VSW + 5V when the Low-Side
Power Switch turns on. The COMP voltage is the
integration of the error between FB input and the
internal 0.808V reference. If FB is lower than the
reference voltage, COMP tends to go higher to
increase current to the output. Output current will
increase until it reaches the CC limit set by the ISET
resistor. At this point, the device will transition from
Innovative PowerTM
If left floating, the EN pin will be pulled up to roughly
5V by the internal 4µA current source. It can be
driven from standard logic signals greater than
0.8V, or driven with open-drain logic to provide
digital on/off control.
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT4501 disables switching when its junction
temperature exceeds 155°C and resumes when the
temperature has dropped by 20°C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
Output Voltage Setting
The inductor maintains a continuous current to the
output load. This inductor current has a ripple that is
dependent on the inductance value:
Figure 1:
Output Voltage Setting
Higher inductance reduces the peak-to-peak ripple
current. The trade off for high inductance value is
the increase in inductor core size and series
resistance, and the reduction in current handling
capability. In general, select an inductance value L
based on ripple current requirement:
L=
Figure 1 shows the connections for setting
output voltage. Select the proper ratio of the
feedback resistors RFB1 and RFB2 based on
output voltage. Typically, use RFB2 ≈ 10kΩ

where VIN is the input voltage, VOUT is the output
voltage, fSW is the switching frequency, ILOADMAX is
the maximum load current, and KRIPPLE is the ripple
factor. Typically, choose KRIPPLE = 30% to
correspond to the peak-to-peak ripple current being
30% of the maximum load current.

With a selected inductor value the peak-to-peak
inductor current is estimated as:
CC Current Setting
ACT4501 constant current value is set by a resistor
connected between the ISET pin and GND. The CC
output current is linearly proportional to the current
flowing out of the ISET pin. The voltage at ISET is
roughly 1V and the current gain from ISET to output
is roughly 25000 (25mA/1µA). To determine the
proper resistor for a desired current, please refer to

It is recommended that an external High Voltage
Bias diode be added when the system has a 5V
fixed input or the power supply generates a 5V
output. This helps improve the efficiency of the
regulator. The High Voltage Bias diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CONT’D
for ceramic type. In the case of tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors, the ripple is dominated by
RESR multiplied by the ripple current. In that case, the
output capacitor is chosen to have sufficiently low
ESR.
Figure 3:
External High Voltage Bias Diode
For ceramic output capacitor, typically choose a
capacitance of about 22µF. For tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors, choose a capacitor with less
than 50mΩ ESR.
Rectifier Diode
Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier to conduct
current when the High-Side Power Switch is off.
The Schottky diode must have current rating higher
than the maximum output current and a reverse
voltage rating higher than the maximum input
voltage.
This diode is also recommended for high duty cycle
operation and high output voltage applications.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor needs to be carefully selected
to maintain sufficiently low ripple at the supply input
of the converter. A low ESR capacitor is highly
recommended. Since large current flows in and out
of this capacitor during switching, its ESR also
affects efficiency.
The input capacitance needs to be higher than
10µF. The best choice is the ceramic type,
however, low ESR tantalum or electrolytic types
may also be used provided that the RMS ripple
current rating is higher than 50% of the output
current. The input capacitor should be placed close
to the IN and G pins of the IC, with the shortest
traces possible. In the case of tantalum or
electrolytic types, they can be further away if a
small parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is placed
right next to the IC.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor also needs to have low ESR to
keep low output voltage ripple. The output ripple
voltage is:
VRIPPLE = IOUTMAX K RIPPLE RESR +
VIN
2
28 × fSW LC OUT
(6)
where IOUTMAX is the maximum output current, KRIPPLE
is the ripple factor, RESR is the ESR of the output
capacitor, fSW is the switching frequency, L is the
inductor value, and COUT is the output capacitance.
In the case of ceramic output capacitors, RESR is very
small and does not contribute to the ripple.
Therefore, a lower capacitance value can be used

RFB1 is the high side resistor of voltage divider.
2) Place input decoupling ceramic capacitor CIN as
close to IN pin as possible. CIN is connected
power GND with vias or short and wide path.
In the case of high RFB1 used, the frequency

capacitor in paralled with RFB1 or increasing the

3) Return FB, COMP and ISET to signal GND pin,

4) Use copper plane for power GND for best heat
