350mA PWM Step-Down DC/DC
−
80mA Low Noise LDO
−
150mA Low Noise LDO
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The patent-pending ACT8342 is a complete, cost
effective, highly-efficient
ActivePMU
TM
power
management solution that is ideal for a wide range
of portable handheld equipment. This device
integrates one PWM step-down DC/DC converter
and two low noise, low dropout linear regulators
(LDOs) in a single, thin, space-saving package.
This device is ideal for a wide range of portable
handheld equipment that can benefit from the
advantages of
ActivePMU
TM
technology but does
not require a high level of integration.
REG1 is a fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM
step-down DC/DC converter that is optimized for
high efficiency and is capable of supplying up to
350mA output current. REG1’s output is available in
a variety of factory-preset output voltage options,
and an adjustable output voltage mode is also
available. REG2 and REG3 are low noise, high
PSRR linear regulators that are capable of
supplying up to 80mA and 150mA, respectively.
The ACT8342 is available in a tiny 3mm
×
3mm
16-pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin.
