GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ACT4513 is a wide input voltage, high efficiency
Active CC step-down DC/DC converter that
operates in either CV (Constant Output Voltage)
mode or CC (Constant Output Current) mode.
ACT4513 provides up to 2A output current at
210kHz switching frequency.
Active CC is a patent-pending control scheme to
achieve highest accuracy sensorless constant
current control. Active CC eliminates the expensive,
high accuracy current sense resistor, making it ideal
for battery charging applications and adaptors with
accurate current limit. The ACT4513 achieves
higher efficiency than traditional constant current
switching regulators by eliminating its associated
power loss.
Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current
limit, thermal shutdown, and frequency foldback at
short circuit. The devices are available in a SOP-
8EP package and require very few external devices
for operation.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CV/CC Loop Regulation
As seen in Functional Block Diagram, the ACT4513
is a peak current mode pulse width modulation
(PWM) converter with CC and CV control. The
converter operates as follows:
A switching cycle starts when the rising edge of the
Oscillator clock output causes the High-Side Power
Switch to turn on and the Low-Side Power Switch to
turn off. With the SW side of the inductor now
connected to IN, the inductor current ramps up to
store energy in the magnetic field. The inductor
current level is measured by the Current Sense
Amplifier and added to the Oscillator ramp signal. If
the resulting summation is higher than the COMP
voltage, the output of the PWM Comparator goes
high. When this happens or when Oscillator clock
output goes low, the High-Side Power Switch turns
off.
At this point, the SW side of the inductor swings to
a diode voltage below ground, causing the inductor
current to decrease and magnetic energy to be
transferred to output. This state continues until the
cycle starts again. The High-Side Power Switch is
driven by logic using HSB as the positive rail. This
pin is charged to VSW + 5V when the Low-Side
Power Switch turns on. The COMP voltage is the
integration of the error between FB input and the
internal 0.808V reference. If FB is lower than the
reference voltage, COMP tends to go higher to
increase current to the output. Output current will
increase until it reaches the CC limit set by the ISET
resistor. At this point, the device will transition from
regulating output voltage to regulating output
current, and the output voltage will drop with
increasing load.
The Oscillator normally switches at 210kHz.
However, if FB voltage is less than 0.6V, then the
switching frequency decreases until it reaches a
typical value of 30kHz at VFB = 0.15V.
Enable Pin
The ACT4513 has an enable input EN for turning
the IC on or off. The EN pin contains a precision
0.8V comparator with 75mV hysteresis and a 4µA
pull-up current source. The comparator can be used
with a resistor divider from VIN to program a startup
voltage higher than the normal UVLO value. It can
be used with a resistor divider from VOUT to disable
charging of a deeply discharged battery, or it can be
used with a resistor divider containing a thermistor
to provide a temperature-dependent shutoff
protection for over temperature battery. The
thermistor should be thermally coupled to the
battery pack for this usage.
If left floating, the EN pin will be pulled up to roughly
5V by the internal 4µA current source. It can be
driven from standard logic signals greater than
0.8V, or driven with open-drain logic to provide
digital on/off control.
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT4513 disables switching when its junction
temperature exceeds 155°C and resumes when the
temperature has dropped by 20°C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage Setting
Figure 1:
Output Voltage Setting
Figure 1 shows the connections for setting the
output voltage. Select the proper ratio of the two
feedback resistors RFB1 and RFB2 based on the
output voltage. Typically, use RFB2 10k and
determine RFB1 from the following equation:
CC Current Setting
ACT4513 constant current value is set by a resistor
connected between the ISET pin and GND. The CC
output current is linearly proportional to the current
flowing out of the ISET pin. The voltage at ISET is
roughly 1V and the current gain from ISET to output
is roughly 25000 (25mA/1µA). To determine the
proper resistor for a desired current, please refer to
Figure 2 below.
Figure 2:
Curve for Programming Output CC Current
CC Current Line Compensation
When operating at constant current mode, the
current limit increase slightly with input voltage. For
wide input voltage applications, a resistor RC is
added to compensate line change and keep output
high CC accuracy, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3:
Iutput Line Compensation
Inductor Selection
The inductor maintains a continuous current to the
output load. This inductor current has a ripple that is
dependent on the inductance value:
Higher inductance reduces the peak-to-peak ripple
current. The trade off for high inductance value is
the increase in inductor core size and series
resistance, and the reduction in current handling
capability. In general, select an inductance value L
based on ripple current requirement:
where VIN is the input voltage, VOUT is the output
voltage, fSW is the switching frequency, ILOADMAX is
the maximum load current, and KRIPPLE is the ripple
factor. Typically, choose KRIPPLE = 30% to
correspond to the peak-to-peak ripple current being
30% of the maximum load current.
With a selected inductor value the peak-to-peak
inductor current is estimated as:
The peak inductor current is estimated as:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CONT’D
The selected inductor should not saturate at ILPK.
The maximum output current is calculated as:
LLIM is the internal current limit, which is typically
3.2A, as shown in Electrical Characteristics Table.
External High Voltage Bias Diode
It is recommended that an external High Voltage
Bias diode be added when the system has a 5V
fixed input or the power supply generates a 5V
output. This helps improve the efficiency of the
regulator. The High Voltage Bias diode can be a
low cost one such as IN4148 or BAT54.
Figure 4:
External High Voltage Bias Diode
This diode is also recommended for high duty cycle
operation and high output voltage applications.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor needs to be carefully selected
to maintain sufficiently low ripple at the supply input
of the converter. A low ESR capacitor is highly
recommended. Since large current flows in and out
of this capacitor during switching, its ESR also
affects efficiency.
The input capacitance needs to be higher than
10µF. The best choice is the ceramic type,
however, low ESR tantalum or electrolytic types
may also be used provided that the RMS ripple
current rating is higher than 50% of the output
current. The input capacitor should be placed close
to the IN and GND pins of the IC, with the shortest
traces possible. In the case of tantalum or
electrolytic types, they can be further away if a
small parallel 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is placed
right next to the IC.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor also needs to have low ESR to
keep low output voltage ripple. The output ripple
voltage is:
Where IOUTMAX is the maximum output current,
KRIPPLE is the ripple factor, RESR is the ESR of the
output capacitor, fSW is the switching frequency, L is
the inductor value, and COUT is the output
capacitance. In the case of ceramic output
capacitors, RESR is very small and does not
contribute to the ripple. Therefore, a lower
capacitance value can be used for ceramic type. In
the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, the
ripple is dominated by RESR multiplied by the ripple
current. In that case, the output capacitor is chosen
to have sufficiently low ESR.
For ceramic output capacitor, typically choose a
capacitance of about 22µF. For tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors, choose a capacitor with less
than 50m ESR.
Rectifier Diode
Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier to conduct
current when the High-Side Power Switch is off.
The Schottky diode must have current rating higher
than the maximum output current and a reverse
voltage rating higher than the maximum input
voltage.

STABILITY COMPENSATION
Figure 5:
Stability Compensation
c: CCOMP2 is needed only for high ESR output capacitor
The feedback loop of the IC is stabilized by the
components at the COMP pin, as shown in Figure
3. The DC loop gain of the system is determined by
the following equation:
The dominant pole P1 is due to CCOMP:
The second pole P2 is the output pole:
The first zero Z1 is due to RCOMP and CCOMP:
And finally, the third pole is due to RCOMP and
CCOMP2 (if CCOMP2 is used):
The following steps should be used to compensate
the IC:
STEP 1. Set the cross over frequency at 1/10 of the
switching frequency via RCOMP:
STEP 2. Set the zero fZ1 at 1/4 of the cross over
frequency. If RCOMP is less than 15k, the equation
for CCOMP is:
If RCOMP is limited to 15k, then the actual cross
over frequency is 3.4 / (VOUTCOUT). Therefore:
STEP 3. If the output capacitor’s ESR is high
enough to cause a zero at lower than 4 times the
cross over frequency, an additional compensation
capacitor CCOMP2 is required. The condition for using
CCOMP2 is:
And the proper value for CCOMP2 is:
Though CCOMP2 is unnecessary when the output
capacitor has sufficiently low ESR, a small value
CCOMP2 such as 100pF may improve stability against
PCB layout parasitic effects.
Table 2 shows some calculated results based on
the compensation method above.

c: CCOMP2 is needed for high ESR output capacitor.
CCOMP2 47pF is recommended.
CC Loop Stability
The constant-current control loop is internally
compensated over the 750mA-2500mA output
range. No additional external compensation is
required to stabilize the CC current.
Output Cable Resistance Compensation
To compensate for resistive voltage drop across the
charger's output cable, the ACT4513 integrates a
simple, user-programmable cable voltage drop
compensation using the impedance at the FB pin.
Use the curve in Figure 4 to choose the proper
feedback resistance values for cable compensation.

STABILITY COMPENSATION CONT’D
RFB1 is the high side resistor of voltage divider.
In the case of high RFB1 used, the frequency
compensation needs to be adjusted
correspondingly. As show in Figure 7, adding a
capacitor in paralled with RFB1 or increasing the
compensation capacitance at COMP pin helps the
system stability.

PC Board Layout Guidance
When laying out the printed circuit board, the
following checklist should be used to ensure proper
operation of the IC.
1) Arrange the power components to reduce the
AC loop size consisting of CIN, IN pin, SW pin
and the schottky diode.
2) Place input decoupling ceramic capacitor CIN as
close to IN pin as possible. CIN is connected
power GND with vias or short and wide path.
3) Return FB, COMP and ISET to signal GND pin,
and connect the signal GND to power GND at a
single point for best noise immunity.
4) Use copper plane for power GND for best heat
dissipation and noise immunity.
5) Place feedback resistor close to FB pin.
6) Use short trace connecting HSB-CHSB-SW loop

application schematics and associated BOM list.
