GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ACT4060B is a monolithic synchronous buck
regulator. The device integrates two 130mΩ
MOSFETs, and provides 2A of continuous load
current over a wide input voltage of 4.5V to 18V.
Current mode control provides fast transient
response and cycle-by-cycle current limit. Hiccup at
short circuit reduces IC temperatures.
An internal soft-start prevents inrush current at turn-
on, and in shutdown mode the supply current drops
to 10μA. Pulse-skipping mode at light load reduces
standby power down to 1.5mA.
This device, available in an 8-pin SOP package,
provides a very compact solution with minimal
external components.
