The ACT6390/ACT6391 are high-performance,
fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM step-up
DC/DC converters that incorporate internal power
MOSFETs. The ACT6390 includes an integrated
0.2Ω power MOSFET that supports peak currents
of up to 1.7A, while the ACT6391’s integrated
0.15Ω power MOSFET supports currents of up to
2.5A.
Adjustable Output Voltage Up to 12V
Internal 14V Power MOSFET
Two Peak Current Options:
− ACT6390: 1.7A, 0.2Ω
− ACT6391: 2.5A, 0.15Ω
• Selectable 700kHz/1.3MHz Frequency
•
•
•
•
•
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both utilize simple external loop compensation and a pin-selectable
fixed-frequency of either 700kHz or 1.3MHz, allowing optimization between component size, cost, and
AC performance across a wide range of applications. Additional functions include an externally programmable soft-start function for easy inrush current control, internal over-voltage protection (OVP),
cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, and thermal
shutdown.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
G
(1)
t SS = 2 . 2 × 10 5 × C SS
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 are highly efficient
step-up DC/DC converters that employ a currentmode, fixed frequency pulse-width modulation
(PWM) architecture with excellent line and load
regulation.
Frequency Selection
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 include a pinselectable operating frequency drive FREQ to a
logic high for 1.3MHz operation, drive FREQ to a
logic low for 700kHz operation.
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 operate at constant
switching frequency under medium to high load current conditions. At light loads, these devices operate in a pulse-skipping mode in order to improve
light-load efficiency.
Selectable operating frequency, in combination with
the external compensation network, allows a wide
range of flexibility in optimizing total solution size
and cost.
FREQ is internally pulled down by 5.5µA, this pin
may be left unconnected to achieve a 700kHz operating frequency.
Soft-Start
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both offer a programmable soft-start function which minimizes inrush
current during startup. The soft-start period is programmed by connecting a capacitor (CSS) between
SS and G. Operation of the soft-start function is as
follows: when the IC is disabled, SS is actively discharged to G. Upon enabling the IC, CSS is charged
with a 4.5µA current so that the voltage at SS increases in a controlled manner. The peak inductor
current is limited by the voltage at SS, so that the
input current is limited until the soft-start period expires, and the regulator can achieve its full output
current rating.
Setting the Output Voltage
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both feature external
adjustable output voltages of up to 12V. To program
the output voltage, simply connect a resistive voltage divider between the output, FB, and G, with
resistors set according to the following equation:
⎡⎛ V
R1 = R 2 × ⎢⎜⎜ OUT
⎣⎝ VFB
⎞ ⎤
⎟⎟ − 1⎥
⎠ ⎦
(2)
Where VFB is 1.24V.
The soft-start period can be calculated as a simple
function of the soft-start capacitor using the equation:

Inductor Selection
As a step-up converter, the switch duty cycle (D) is
determined by the input voltage (VIN) and output
voltage (VOUT), as given by the following formula:
D=
VOUT − VIN
VOUT
∆IL

For example: VIN = 3.3V, VOUT = 12V, fSW = 700kHz
IOUT = 250mA, η = 85%, FREQ = G, K = 0.4

The ACT6390 and ACT6391 feature a simple loop
compensation scheme. Simple follow the procedure
detailed below to determine suitable compensation
components. For best results be sure to prototype
to confirm the values, and adjust the compensation
network (by inspecting the transient response, for
example) as needed to optimize results for your
particular application.
If the output voltage is greater than two times of
input voltage, that means the duty cycle is greater
than 50%, the slope compensation is required for
stability. When operating in this condition ensure
that the inductor value is greater than LMIN:

When the converter operates with continuous inductor current, a right-half-plane zero exits in the
loop’s gain-frequency response. To ensure stability,

Rectifier Selection
For optimal performance, the rectifier should be a
Schottky rectifier that is rated to handle both the
output voltage as well as the peak switch current.
Over Voltage Protection
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both feature internal
automatic over-voltage protection (OVP). Once the
outputs achieve regulation, if the voltage at FB falls
below 0.125V the controller will automatically disable and latch off, preventing the controller from
running open-loop and potentially damaging the IC
and load.
To re-enable the converters, simply cycle the EN
pin or remove and reapply power to the input.
Shutdown
Drive EN low to disable the IC and reduce the supply current to just 0.1µA. As with all nonsynchronous step-up DC/DC converters, the external Schottky diode provides a DC path from the input to the output in shutdown. As a result, the output drops to one diode voltage drop below the input
in shutdown.
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT6390 and ACT6391 both feature integrated
thermal overload protection. Both devices are automatically disabled when their junction temperatures
exceed 160°C, and automatically re-enable when
the die temperature decreases by 20°C.
