Multimode PA Step-Down Converter with Linear Bypass Mode

Longer Battery Life and Lower Temperature Operation - PA Power Supply for the Latest Multimode/Carrier Smartphones

Description

The MAX77271 step-down converter is optimized for powering the power amplifier (PA) in multistandard handsets such as LTE, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, GSM, and EDGE. The device integrates a high-efficiency PWM stepdown converter for medium- and low-power transmission with an 85mΩ (typ) low dropout (LDO) bypass regulator, in parallel with the step-down converter, enabling high-power transmission. 

The IC uses an analog input driven by an external DAC to control the output voltage linearly for continuous PA power adjustment. The bypass LDO powers the PA directly from the battery during high-power transmission or in case of insufficient headroom between the input and programmed output. The bypass LDO is enabled when the output voltage is greater than 0.65V. In the case where the output current exceeds the step-down converter current limit, the bypass LDO provides supplementary current to the output, ensuring a stable output voltage. The bypass LDO also provides a smooth transition between step-down regulation and operation in dropout. 

The IC is available in a 9-bump, 1.6mm x 1.6mm WLP package (0.69mm max height).
