GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP3404 is a multifunction power management system IC
optimized for GSM cell phones. The wide input voltage range of

3.0 V to 7.0 V makes the ADP3404 ideal for both single cell
Li-Ion and three cell NiMH designs. The current consumption
of the ADP3404 has been optimized for maximum battery life,
featuring a ground current of only 230 µA when the phone is in
standby (digital LDO, analog LDO, and SIM card supply active).
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the startup when
there is not enough energy in the battery. All four integrated
LDOs are optimized to power one of the critical sub-blocks of the
phone. Their novel anyCAP

®

architecture requires only very
small output capacitors for stability, and the LDOs are insensitive
to the capacitors’ equivalent series resistance (ESR). This makes
them stable with any capacitor, including ceramic (MLCC) types
for space-restricted applications.

A step-up converter is implemented to supply both the SIM
module and the level translation circuitry to adapt logic signals
for 3 V and 5 V SIM modules. Sophisticated controls are avail­able for power-up during battery charging, keypad interface and
charging of an auxiliary back-up capacitor for the real-time clock.
These allow an easy interface between ADP3404, GSM proces­sor, charger, and keypad. Furthermore, a reset circuit and a
thermal shutdown function have been implemented to support
reliable system design.

CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the ADP3404 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADP3404 is a power management chip optimized for use
with GSM baseband chipsets in handset applications. Figure 1
shows a block diagram of the ADP3404.

The ADP3404 contains several blocks:

• Four Low Dropout Regulators (Digital, Analog, Crystal
Oscillator, Real-Time Clock)

• Reset Generator

• Buffered Precision Reference

• SIM Interface Logic Level Translation (3 V/5 V)

• SIM Voltage Supply

• Power On/Off Logic

• Undervoltage Lockout

These functions have traditionally been done either as a discrete
implementation or as a custom ASIC design. ADP3404 combines
the benefits of both worlds by providing an integrated standard
product solution where every block is optimized to operate in a
GSM environment while maintaining a cost competitive solution.

Figure 2 shows the external circuitry associated with the ADP3404.
Only a few support components, mainly decoupling capacitors,
are required.

Input Voltage

The input voltage range for ADP3404 is 3 V to 7 V and optimized
for a single Li-Ion cell or three NiMH/NiCd cells. The thermal
impedance (θ

) of the ADP3404 is 62°C/W for 6-layer boards.

JA

The charging voltage for a high capacity NiMH cell can be as high as

5.5 V. Power dissipation should be calculated at maximum ambient

°

temperatures and battery voltage in order not to exceed the 125

C
maximum allowable junction temperature. Figure 3 shows the maxi­mum total LDO output current as a function of ambient temperature
and battery voltage.

However, high battery voltages normally occur only when the
battery is being charged and the handset is not in conversation
mode. In this mode there is a relatively light load on the LDOs.
A fully charged Li-Ion battery is 4.25 V, where the LDOs deliver
the maximum 240 mA up to the max 85

°

C ambient temperature.

Low Dropout Regulators (LDOs)

The ADP3404 high-performance LDOs are optimized for their
given functions by balancing quiescent current, dropout voltage,
line/load regulation, ripple rejection, and output noise. 2.2 µF
tantalum or MLCC ceramic capacitors are recommended for
use with the digital and analog LDOs, and 0.22 µF for the
TCXO LDO.

Digital LDO (VCC)

The digital LDO (VCC) supplies all the digital circuitry in the
handset (baseband processor, baseband converter, external
memory, display, etc.). The LDO has been optimized for very
low quiescent current (30 µA maximum) at light loads as this
LDO is on at all times.

Analog LDO (VCCA)

This LDO has the same features as the digital LDO. It has further­more been optimized for good low frequency ripple rejection for use
with analog sections in order to reject the ripple coming from the RF
power amplifier. VCCA is rated to 130 mA load which is sufficient
to supply the complete analog section of a baseband converter such
as the AD6421/AD6425, including a 32 Ω earpiece.

TCXO LDO (VTCXO)

The TCXO LDO is intended as a supply for temperature com­pensated crystal oscillator, which needs its own ultralow noise
supply. The output current is rated to 5 mA for the TCXO LDO.

RTC LDO (VRTC)

The RTC LDO charges a capacitor-type backup coin cell to run
the real-time clock module. It has been targeted to charge elec­tric double layer capacitors such as the PAS621 from Kanebo.
The PAS621 has a small physical size (6.8 mm diameter) and a
nominal capacity of 0.3 F, giving many hours of backup time.

MODULE

The ADP3404 supplies current both for charging the coin cell and
for the RTC module when the digital supply is off. The nominal
charging voltage is 2.45 V, which ensures long cell life while obtain­ing in excess of 90% of the nominal capacity. In addition, it features
a very low quiescent current (10 µA) since this LDO is running all
the time, even when the handset is switched off. It also has reverse
current protection with low leakage which is needed when the main
battery is removed and the coin cell supplies the RTC module.

Reference Output (REFOUT)

The reference output is a low noise, high precision reference with a
guaranteed accuracy of 1.5% over temperature. The reference can
be fed to the baseband converter, such as the AD6425, improving
the absolute accuracy of the converters from 5% to 1.5%. This
significantly reduces calibration time needed for the baseband
converter during production.

SIM Interface

The SIM interface generates the needed SIM voltage—either 3 V
or 5 V, dependent on SIM type, and also performs the needed
logic level translation. Quiescent current is low, as the SIM card
will be powered all the time. Note that DATAIO and I/O have
integrated pull-up resistors as shown in Figure 5. See Table II for
the control logic of the charge pump output, VSIM.

Power-On/-Off

ADP3404 handles all issues regarding power-on/-off of the hand­set. It is possible to turn on the ADP3404 in three different ways:

• Pulling PWRONKEY Low

• Pulling PWRONIN High

• CHRON exceeds threshold

Pulling PWRONKEY key low is the normal way of turning on the
handset. This will turn on all the LDOs as long as PWRONKEY is
held low. The microprocessor then starts and pulls PWRONIN
high after which PWRONKEY can be released. PWRONIN going
high will also turn on the handset. This is the case when the alarm
in the RTC module expires.

An external charger can also turn on the phone. The turn-on
threshold and hysteresis can be programmed via external resistors
to allow full flexibility with any external charger and battery chem­istry. These resistors are referred to as R1 and R2 in Figure 2.

ADP3404

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO function in the ADP3404 prevents startup when the
initial voltage of the main battery is below the 3.2 V threshold.
If the battery is this low with no load, there will be little or no
capacity left. When the battery is greater than 3.2 V, as with the
insertion of a fresh battery, the UVLO comparator trips, the
RTC LDO is enabled, and the threshold is reduced to 3.0 V.
This allows the handset to start normally until the battery volt­age decays to 3.0 V open circuit. Once the 3.2 V threshold is
exceeded, the RTC LDO is enabled. If, however, if the backup
coin cell is not connected, or is damaged or discharged below

1.5 V, the RTC LDO will not start on its own. In this situation,
the RTC LDO will be started by enabling the VCC LDO.

Once the system is started, i.e., the phone is turned on and the
VCC LDO is up and running, the UVLO function is entirely
disabled. The ADP3404 is then allowed to run down to very low
battery voltages, typically around 2 V. The battery voltage is
normally monitored by the microprocessor and usually shuts the
phone off at around 3.0 V.

If the phone is off, i.e., the VCC LDO is off, and the battery
voltage drops below 3.0 V, the UVLO circuit disables startup
and the RTC LDO. This is implemented with very low quies­cent current, typically 3 µA, to protect the main battery against
any damage. NiMH batteries can reverse polarity if the 3-cell
battery voltage drops below 3.0 V and a current of more than
about 40 µA continues to flow. Lithium ion batteries will lose
their capacity, although the built-in safety circuits normally
present in these cells will most likely prevent any damage.

RESET

ADP3404 contains reset circuitry that is active both at power-up
and at power-down. RESET is held low at power-up. An inter­nal power-good signal starts the reset delay. The delay is set by
an external capacitor on RESCAP:

tC

=×10. ms/nF

RESET RESCAP

A 100 nF capacitor will produce a 100 ms reset time. At power-off,
RESET will be kept low to prevent any spurious microprocessor
starts. The current capability of RESET is low (a few hundred
nA) when VCC is off, to minimize power consumption. There­fore, RESET should only be used to drive a single CMOS input.
When VCC is on, RESET will drive about 15 µA.

Overtemperature Protection

The maximum die temperature for ADP3404 is 125°C. If the die

°

temperature exceeds 160

C, the ADP3404 will disable all the LDOs
except the RTC LDO, which has very limited current capabilities.
The LDOs will not be re-enabled before the die temperature is

°

below 125

C, regardless of the state of PWRONKEY, PWRONIN,
and CHRON. This ensures that the handset will always power-off
before the ADP3404 exceeds its absolute maximum thermal ratings.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Capacitor Selection

For the input voltage, VBAT, of the ADP3404, a local bypass
capacitor is recommended. Use a 5 µF to 10 µF, low ESR capaci-
tor. Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors provide the best combina­tion of low ESR and small size, but may not be cost effective. A
lower cost alternative may be to use a 5 µF to 10 µF tantalum
capacitor with a small (1 µF to 2 µF) ceramic in parallel.

LDO Capacitor Selection

The performance of any LDO is a function of the output capaci­tor. The digital and analog LDOs require a 2.2 µF capacitor and
the TCXO LDO requires a 0.22 µF capacitor. Larger values
may be used, but the overshoot at startup will increase slightly.
If a larger output capacitor is desired, be sure to check that the
overshoot and settling time are acceptable for the application.

All the LDOs are stable with a wide range of capacitor types and
ESR due to Analog Devices’ anyCAP technology. The ADP3404
is stable with extremely low ESR capacitors (ESR ~ 0), such as
multilayer ceramic capacitors, but care should be taken in their
selection. Note that the capacitance of some capacitor types show
wide variations over temperature or with dc voltage. A good quality
dielectric, X7R or better, is recommended.

The RTC LDO has a rechargeable coin cell or an electric double­layer capacitor as a load, but a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recom-
mended for stability and best performance.

Charge Pump Capacitor Selection

For the input (SIMBAT) and output (VSIM) of the SIM charge
pump, use 10 µF low ESR capacitors. The use of low ESR capaci-
tors improves the noise and efficiency of the SIM charge pump.
Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors provide the best combination of
low ESR and small size but may not be cost effective. A lower cost
alternative may be to use a 10 µF tantalum capacitor with a small
(1 µF to 2 µF) ceramic capacitor in parallel.

For the lowest ripple and best efficiency, use a 0.1 µF, ceramic
capacitor for the charge pump flying capacitor (CAP+ and CAP–).
A good quality dielectric, such as X7R is recommended.

Setting the Charger Turn-On Threshold

The ADP3404 can be turned on when the charger input exceeds
a programmable threshold voltage. The charger’s threshold and
hysteresis are set by selecting the values for R1 and R2 shown in
Figure 2.

The turn-on threshold for the charger is calculated using:

Charger Diode Selection

The diode shown in Figure 2 is used to prevent the battery from
discharging into the charger turn-on setting resistors, R1 and R2. A
Schottky diode is recommended to minimize the voltage difference
from the charger to the battery and the power dissipation. Choose
a diode with a current rating high enough to handle both the battery
charging current and the current the ADP3404 will draw if pow­ered up during charging. The battery charging current is dependent
on the battery chemistry, and the charger circuit. The ADP3404
current will be dependent on the loading.

Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations

Use the following general guidelines when designing printed
circuit boards:

1. Split the battery connection to the VBAT and SIMBAT pins
of the ADP3404. Use separate traces for each connection
and locate the input capacitors as close to the pins as possible.

2. SIM input and output capacitors should be returned to the
SIMGND and kept as close as possible to the ADP3404 to
minimize noise. Traces to the SIM charge pump capacitor
should be kept as short as possible to minimize noise.

3. VCCA and VTCXO capacitors should be returned to AGND.

4. VCC and VRTC capacitors should be returned to DGND.

5. Split the ground connections. Use separate traces or planes for
the analog, digital, and power grounds, and tie them together
at a single point, preferably close to the battery return.
