Active-Semi ACT8840
The ACT8840 is a complete, cost effective, and highly-efficient ActivePMUTM power management solution optimized for the power, voltage sequencing and control requirements of general Single-core application processor. The ACT8840 features four fixed-frequency, current-mode, synchronous PWM step-down converters that achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of 2.25MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications and allowing the use of small external components.FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These buck regulators supply up to 1.8A of output current and can fully satisfy the power and control requirements of the single-core application processor. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) is supported either by dedicated control pins, or through I2C interface to optimize the energy-pertask performance for the processor. Thi...
