GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ACT4070B is a wide input voltage step-down
DC/DC converter that provides up to 3A output cur-
rent at 300kHz switching frequency. ACT4070B is a
replacement part for ACT4070 with advanced fea-
tures such as lower standby current and higher light
load efficiency. ACT4070B can be dropped into
ACT4070 socket with only feedback resistance
value changed.
ACT4070B’s protection features include Cycle-by-
Cycle current limit, thermal shutdown, and fre-
quency foldback at over current and short circuit.
The devices are available in a SOP-8EP package
and require very few external devices for operation.
NOTE:
∗ ACT4070B is the replacement part for
ACT4070.
