Active-Semi ACT4523A
ACT4523A 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 ACT4523A achieves higher efficiency than traditional constant current switching regulators by eliminating its associated power loss on the sensing resistor. ACT4523A provides up to 3.5A output current at 250kHz switching frequency.FEATURES
