GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ACT361 belongs to the high performance

AC/DC off-line controllers for battery charger and

adapter applications. It is designed for flyback

topology working in discontinuous conduction mode

(DCM). The ACT361 meets all of the global energy

efficiency regulations (CEC, European Blue Angel,

and US Energy Star standards) while using very

few external components.

The ACT361 ensures safe operation with complete

protection against all fault conditions. Built-in

protection circuitry is provided for output short-

circuit, output over-voltage, line under-voltage, and

over temperature conditions.

utilizes

Active-Semi’s

proprietary

primary-side

feedback architecture to provide accurate constant

voltage, constant current (CV/CC) regulation

without the need of an opto-coupler or reference

device. Integrated line and primary inductance

compensation circuitry provides accurate constant

current operation despite wide variations in line

voltage and primary inductance. Integrated output

cord resistance compensation further enhances

output accuracy. The ACT361 achieves excellent

regulation and transient response, yet requires less

than 150mW of standby power.

The ACT361 is optimized for 2W to 7W

applications. It is available in space-saving 6 pin

SOT23-6 package.
