Active-Semi ACT4514
ACT4514 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. The ACT4514 achieves higher efficiency than traditional constant current switching regulators by eliminating the sense resistor and its associated power loss. ACT4514 provides up to 1.5A output current at 210kHz switching frequency.FEATURES
