GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The patent-pending ACT8712 is a complete, cost
effective, highly efficient
ActivePMU
TM
power man-
agement solution that is ideal for a wide range of
portable hand held equipment. This device inte-
grates two PWM step-down DC/DC converters, one
PWM step-up DC/DC converter with over-voltage
protection (OVP) and a full-featured linear-mode
Li+ battery charger into a single, thin, space-saving
package. An I
2
C Serial Interface provides program-
mability for the DC/DC converters and battery
charger.
REG1 and REG2 are fixed-frequency, current-mode
PWM step-down DC/DC converters that are opti-
mized for high efficiency and are capable of supply-
ing up to 550mA and 750mA, respectively. REG3 is
a fixed-frequency PWM step-up converter that
safely and efficiently biases a string of up to seven
white-LEDs for backlighting. The battery charger
incorporates an internal power MOSFET for con-
stant-current/constant-voltage, thermally regulated
charging of a single-cell Li+ battery. All DC/DC con-
verters’ output voltage and charger current are pro-
grammable and controllable via the I
2
C interface.
The ACT8712 is available in a tiny 4mm x 4mm
24-pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin.
