GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ACT512 is a high performance peak current

and frequency foldback technique to reduce EMI

and improve efficiency. ACT512’s maximum design

switching frequency is set at 75kHz. Very low

standby power, good dynamic response and

accurate voltage regulation is achieved with an

opto-coupler and the secondary side control circuit.

The burst mode operation enables low standby

power of 100mW with small output voltage ripple.

technology, ACT512 increases the average system

efficiency compared to conventional solutions and

exceeds the latest ES2.0 efficiency standard with

good margin.

ACT512 integrates comprehensive protection. In

case of over temperature, over voltage, short

winding, short current sense resistor, open loop an

d overload conditions, it would enter into auto

restart mode including Cycle-by-Cycle current

limiting.

ACT512 is to achieve no overshoot and very short

rise time even with big capacitive load with the built-

in fast and soft start process.

In full load condition, ACT512 is able to be

designed to work in both CCM mode and DCM

mode to meet different types of applications. Quasi-

Resonant (QR) operation mode can effectively

improve efficiency during DCM operation, and

reduce the EMI noise and further reduce the

components in input filter.

ACT512 is for application up to 60 Watt.
