Amlogic AML8726-M3 processor. It is ideal for a wide
range of high performance portable handheld
applications such as tablet or pad devices. This device
integrates the
ActivePath
TM
complete battery charging
and management system with seven power supply
channels.
This device features three step-down DC/DC
converters and four low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators, along with a complete battery charging
solution featuring the advanced
ActivePath
TM
system-power selection function.
The three DC/DC converters utilize a high-
efficiency, fixed-frequency (2MHz), current-mode
PWM control architecture that requires a minimum
number of external components. Two DC/DCs are
capable of supplying up to 1150mA of output
current, while the third supports up to 1300mA. All
four low-dropout linear regulators are high-
performance, low-noise regulators that supply up to
80mA, 320mA, 320mA, 320mA, respectively.
The ACT8942 is available in a compact, Pb-Free
and RoHS-compliant TQFN55-40 package.
