GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The patent-pending ACT8704 is a complete, cost-
effective, highly-efficient ActivePMUTM power man-
agement solution that is ideal for a wide range of
portable handheld equipment. This device inte-
grates two step-down DC/DC converters for proces-
sor core and I/O power, one step-up DC/DC con-
verter with over-voltage protection (OVP) and a full-
featured, linear-mode Li+ battery charger into a sin-
gle, thin, space-saving package.
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, step-up DC/DC 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.
The ACT8704 is available in a tiny 4mm x 4mm 24-
pin Thin-QFN package that is just 0.75mm thin.
