Active-Semi’s ACT512 ActiveQR™Quasi-Resonant PWM Controller

Active-Semi offers state-of-the-art secondary side regulator products for applications such as AC/DC Adapters, Power Supplies, and AC Line Powered LED Lamps. The ACT512 Quasi-Resonant PWM Controller can work in CCM (Continuous Current Mode) and DCM (Discontinuous Current Mode) to meet different types of applications. The simplified Power Application Circuit with ACT512 is shown below in Figure 1.

ACT512

The  ACT512  is  a  high  performance  peak  current mode PWM controller. ACT512 applies ActiveQR™ and  frequency  foldback  technique  to  reduce  EMI and improve efficiency. ACT512’s maximum design switching  frequency  is  set  at  75kHz.  Very  low standby  power,  good  dynamic  response  and accurate  voltage  regulation  is  achieved  with  an opto-coupler  and the secondary side control circuit. The  idle  mode  operation  enables  low  standby power  of  100mW  with  small  output  voltage  ripple. By  applying  frequency  foldback  and ActiveQR™ technology, ACT512 increases the average System efficiency  compared  to  conventional  solutions  and exceeds  the  latest  ES2.0  efficiency  standard  with good margin.

Key Features:

  • CCM and Quasi-Resonant Operation
  • Adjustable up to 75kHz Switching Frequency
  • OCP/OLP Protection
  • Integrated Patented Frequency Foldback Technique
  • Integrated Patented Line Compensation
  • Built-in Soft-Start Circuit
  • Line Under-Voltage, Thermal, Output Over-voltage, Output Short Protections
  • Current Sense Resistor Short Protection
  • Transformer Winding Short Protection
  • 100mW Standby Power
  • Complies with Global Energy Efficiency and CEC Average Efficiency Standards
  • Tiny SOT23-6 Packages

Typical Applications:

  • AC/DC Adaptors/Chargers for Cell Phones, Cordless Phone, PDAs, E-books
  • Adaptors for Portable Media Player, DSCs, Set-top boxes, DVD players, records
  • Linear Adapter Replacements
