GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ACT4533A/B is a wide input voltage, high efficiency

ActiveCC step-down DC/DC converter that operates

in either CV (Constant Output Voltage) mode or

CC (Constant Output Current) mode. ACT4533A/B

provides up to 3.5 A output current at 125 kHz

switching frequency.

ActiveCC is a patented control scheme to achieve highaccuracy

sensorless constant current control. ActiveCC

eliminates the expensive, high accuracy current sense

resistor, making it ideal for CLA applications.

ACT4533A/B integrates adaptive gate drive to

achieve excellent EMI performance passing

EN55022 Class B EMC standard without adding

additional EMI components while maintaining high

conversion efficiency.

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.

The only difference between ACT4533A and

ACT4533B is that Pin 7 provides OVP for ACT4533A

and EN/OVP for ACT4533B.

The ACT4533A/B provides a basic building block for industrial

applications which require a nominal 24V input

voltage bucked down to an intermediate level.
