Product details
Overview
ACT86600QM101-T from Qorvo is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for battery-powered portable applications, featuring four buck converters (up to 3.5 A per channel), one LDO, I²C programmability, and thermal monitoring. It supports Li-ion/Li-polymer battery input (2.5 V–5.5 V) and delivers regulated outputs for application processors, memory, displays, and peripherals in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the ACT86600QM101-T datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output current capability per rail, I²C register map compatibility, thermal shutdown threshold, and QFN-101 package footprint constraints in space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The ACT86600QM101-T integrates four synchronous buck regulators with adaptive on-time control and one low-noise 300 mA LDO, all managed via a single I²C interface (address 0x48). Each buck converter supports independent voltage programming (0.3 V–2.2 V in 10 mV steps) and configurable switching frequency (1.5 MHz or 2.5 MHz).
It includes comprehensive protection: overvoltage lockout (OVL), undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overcurrent protection (OCP) with hiccup mode, and junction temperature monitoring with alert flag. Power sequencing is controlled through I²C registers with programmable startup/shutdown delays and dependencies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries and USB-powered operation without external regulation. |
| Buck Converter Count | 4 - independently controllable DC-DC rails for SoC core, GPU, memory, and I/O domains. |
| Max Buck Output Current | 3.5 A per channel - enables direct powering of high-performance application processors without external boost stages. |
| LDO Output Current | 300 mA - supplies noise-sensitive analog or RF circuitry with <20 µV RMS ripple. |
| I²C Address | 0x48 - fixed address simplifies multi-PMIC system configuration without address conflict risk. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 125 °C - triggers automatic shutdown to prevent permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | 101-pin QFN (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) - requires standard reflow profile and exposes thermal pad for PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
ACT86600QM101-T uses a 101-pin, 7 mm × 7 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD). Pin assignment follows Qorvo's standardized PMIC layout: power inputs at corners, high-current switch node pins adjacent to inductors, and I²C/enable/control signals grouped on side edges for noise isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1–VIN4 | Input supply pins for buck channels 1–4 | Accept 2.5–5.5 V input; each must be decoupled locally with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| SWS1–SWS4 | Buck switch node outputs | Connect directly to external power inductors; require low-inductance routing to minimize EMI. |
| VOUT1–VOUT4 | Regulated DC outputs | Deliver up to 3.5 A each; voltage set via I²C; monitored for OVP/UVP by internal comparators. |
| SDA/SCL | I²C serial data/clock | Support standard/fast-mode I²C (100 kHz/400 kHz); pull-up resistors required externally (typically 2.2 kΩ). |
| EN1–EN4 | Enable inputs for buck channels | Hardware enable override; active-high; internally pulled down - default disabled until I²C configures sequence. |
| TEMP_ALERT | Open-drain thermal alert output | Asserts low when junction temperature ≥125 °C; connects to host processor interrupt line. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four 3.5 A buck converters | Eliminates need for discrete DC-DC modules, reducing BOM count and PCB area in compact mobile platforms. |
| I²C-programmable voltage & sequencing | Enables dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and precise power-up/down timing across multiple SoC domains without hardware changes. |
| Integrated thermal monitoring with alert | Provides real-time junction temperature feedback to host firmware, enabling proactive thermal throttling before shutdown occurs. |
| Configurable switching frequency (1.5/2.5 MHz) | Allows optimization between efficiency (lower freq) and component size (higher freq) based on board-level EMI and layout constraints. |
| Overcurrent protection with hiccup mode | Prevents catastrophic failure during short-circuit events by cycling on/off instead of latching, preserving system recoverability. |
Applications
| Smartphone Application Processor Power | Tablet Display Subsystem Power |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary PMIC managing display-specific rails with independent voltage control and fault reporting. Use Value: Enables dynamic brightness control via I²C-adjusted VOUT3 while maintaining stable 1.8 V for eDP PHY with <1 % load regulation. |
| Wearable System-on-Module Power | Industrial Handheld Scanner Power |
Use Scenario: Powers ultra-compact SoMs (e.g., Nordic nRF9160-based) with strict size and thermal limits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-chip power solution for BLE + cellular + sensor fusion, supporting deep-sleep current <1 µA via rail gating.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACT88329HMQ101-T | Higher max buck current (4.5 A), added USB-C PD controller, no LDO - requires external low-noise regulator for RF sections. | Targeted at premium smartphones with USB-C fast charging; lacks integrated LDO for analog subsystems. | Select when USB-C power delivery and higher current are mandatory; verify external LDO sourcing for RF biasing. |
| RTQ2134BGQW | Three 4 A bucks + two 300 mA LDOs, no I²C interface - uses hardware pin-strapping for voltage selection and fixed sequencing. | Suited for cost-sensitive industrial controllers where firmware-controlled sequencing is unnecessary. | Choose for simpler, non-I²C systems needing extra LDOs but sacrificing dynamic voltage scaling and telemetry. |
Compared with ACT86600QM101-T, ACT88329HMQ101-T adds USB-C PD capability at the expense of analog rail integration, while RTQ2134BGQW trades programmability for deterministic hardware-based power sequencing and dual-LDO redundancy.

FAQ
Is ACT86600QM101-T recommended for new designs?
No, ACT86600QM101-T is marked Not Recommended For New Designs (NRND) by Qorvo. While still available for existing production, new projects should evaluate ACT88329HMQ101-T or other current-generation Qorvo PMICs. ACT86600QM101-T remains supported with full datasheet, reference design files, and technical documentation accessible via Qorvo's product portal.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for ACT86600QM101-T?
The exposed thermal pad on ACT86600QM101-T must be soldered to a solid copper thermal plane on the PCB using ≥90 % solder coverage. It is electrically connected to GND internally, so the pad must be tied to the main ground plane with multiple thermal vias (≥8×0.3 mm diameter) to ensure junction temperature stays within 125 °C limit under full load.
Does ACT86600QM101-T support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)?
Yes, ACT86600QM101-T supports DVS via its I²C interface: each buck output voltage can be adjusted in 10 mV steps from 0.3 V to 2.2 V in real time, enabling CPU/GPU frequency-voltage coordination. The ACT86600QM101-T also provides status registers to confirm voltage settling completion before SoC state transitions.
Can ACT86600QM101-T operate with a 1.8 V I²C bus?
Yes, ACT86600QM101-T supports 1.8 V I²C logic levels on SDA/SCL pins, compatible with modern application processors' GPIO voltage domains. Internal level-shifting circuitry ensures reliable communication without external translators, provided pull-up resistors connect to the same 1.8 V supply used by the host controller.
What protection features does ACT86600QM101-T include?
ACT86600QM101-T integrates overvoltage lockout (OVL), undervoltage lockout (UVLO), cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (OCP) with hiccup mode, thermal shutdown at 125 °C, and output voltage monitoring with alert flag. All protections are active during operation and do not require external components to function.
