GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT4072 is a current-mode step-down DC/DC converter that generates up to 2A output current at 420kHz switching frequency. The device utilizes Active-Semi’s proprietary ISOBCD30 process for operation with input voltage up to 30V.
Consuming only 6μA in shutdown mode, the ACT4072 is highly efficient with peak efficiency at 95% when in operation. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal shutdown, and frequency fold-back at short circuit.
The ACT4072 is available in SOP-8 package and requires very few external devices for operation.
