Product Brief, 15-Apr-11
over temperature conditions.
The ACT336
ActivePSR
TM
is optimized for high
performance, cost-sensitive applications, and
utilizes Active-Semi’s proprietary primary-side
feedback architecture to provide accurate constant
voltage, constant current (CV/CC) regulation
without the need of an opto-coupler or reference
device. Integrated line and primary inductance
compensation circuitry provides accurate constant
current operation despite wide variations in line
voltage and primary inductance. Integrated output
cord resistance compensation further enhances
output accuracy. The ACT336 achieves excellent
regulation and transient response, yet requires less
than 30mW of standby power.
The ACT336 is optimized for compact size 2W to
6.3W charger applications. It is available in space-
saving 8 pin SOP-8 package.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT336 belongs to the high performance
patented
ActivePSR
TM
Family of Universal-input
AC/DC off-line controllers for battery charger and
adapter applications. It is designed for flyback
topology working in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM). The ACT336 meets all of the global energy
efficiency regulations (CEC, European Blue Angel,
and US Energy Star standards) while using very
few external components.
The ACT336 ensures safe operation with complete
protection against all fault conditions. Built-in
protection circuitry is provided for output short-
circuit, output over-voltage, line under-voltage, and
Innovative Power
