GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3408 is a multifunction power system chip optimized
for GSM handsets, especially those based on the Analog Devices
AD20msp430 system solution. It contains six LDOs, one to
power each of the critical GSM subblocks. Sophisticated controls are available for power-up during battery charging, keypad
interface, and RTC alarm. The charge circuit maintains low
current charging during the initial charge phase and provides an
end-of-charge signal when a Li-ion battery is being charged.
The ADP3408 is specified over the temperature range of –20°C to
+85°C and is available in a narrow body TSSOP 28-lead package
or 5 mm 5 mm LFCSP 32-lead package.

The ADP3408 is a power management chip optimized for use
with GSM baseband chipsets in handset applications. Figure 1
shows a block diagram of the ADP3408.
• Lithium Ion Charge Controller and Processor Interface
• Power-On/-Off Logic
• Undervoltage Lockout
• Deep Discharge Lockout
These functions have traditionally been done either as a discrete
implementation or as a custom ASIC design. The ADP3408
combines the benefits of both worlds by providing an integrated
standard product in which every block is optimized to operate in
a GSM environment while maintaining a cost competitive solution.
Figure 3 shows the external circuitry associated with the ADP3408.
Only a minimal number of support components are required.
Input Voltage
The input voltage range of the ADP3408 is 3 V to 5.5 V and is
optimized for a single Li-ion cell or three NiMH cells. The type
of battery, the package type, and the Core LDO output voltage
all affect the amount of power that the ADP3408 needs to dissipate. The thermal impedance of the TSSOP package is 68°C/W
for four-layer boards. The thermal impedance of the CSP package is 32°C/W for four-layer boards.
The end of charge voltage for high capacity NiMH cells can be
as high as 5.5 V. This results in a worst-case power dissipation
for the ADP3408-1.8 as high as 1.07 W for NiMH cells. The
power dissipation for the ADP3408-2.5 is just slightly lower at 1 W.
A fully charged Li-ion battery is 4.25 V, where the ADP3408-
2.5 can dissipate a maximum power of 0.56 W in either
package. However, the ADP3408-1.8 can have a maximum
dissipation of 0.64 W, so only the CSP package can handle the
power dissipation at 85°C.
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.
The worst-case power dissipation should be calculated based on
the actual load currents and voltages used.
Figure 4a shows the maximum power dissipation as a function
of the input voltage. Figure 4b shows the maximum allowable
power dissipation as a function of ambient temperature.

The ADP3408 high performance LDOs are optimized for their

core, memory, SIM, and analog LDOs. A 0.22 µF capacitor is
recommended for the TCXO LDO.

Digital Core LDO (VCORE)
The digital core LDO supplies the baseband circuitry in the handset (baseband processor and baseband converter). The LDO has
been optimized for very low quiescent current at light loads, as this
LDO is on at all times.
Memory LDO (VMEM)
The memory LDO supplies the peripheral subsystems of the
baseband processor including GPIO, display, and SIM interfaces as
well as memory. The LDO has also been optimized for low quiescent current and will power up at the same time as the core LDO.
Analog LDO (VAN)
This LDO has the same features as the core LDO. It has furthermore been optimized for good low frequency ripple rejection for
use with the baseband converter sections in order to reject the
ripple coming from the RF power amplifier. VAN is rated to a
130 mA load, which is sufficient to supply the complete analog
section of the baseband converter, such as the AD652l.
TCXO LDO (VTCXO)
The TCXO LDO is intended as a supply for a temperaturecompensated crystal oscillator, which needs its own ultralow
noise supply. VTCXO is rated for 5 mA of output current and is
turned on along with the analog LDO when TCXOEN is asserted.
Note that for the ADP3408-2.5, the TCXO output has been
optimized for the AD6524 (Othello), while the ADP3408-1.8
has been optimized for the AD6534 (Othello One).
RTC LDO (VRTC)
The RTC LDO charges up a capacitor-type backup coin cell to
run the Real-Time Clock module. It has been designed 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.
The ADP3408 supplies current both for charging the coin cell
and for the RTC module. In addition, it features a very low
quiescent current 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.
SIM LDO (VSIM)
The SIM LDO generates the voltage needed for 3 V SIMs. It is
rated for 20 mA of supply current and can be controlled completely independently of the other LDOs.
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 used with the baseband converter. Note that the reference
in the AD6521 has an initial accuracy of 10%, but can be
calibrated to within 1%.
Power ON/OFF
The ADP3408 handles all issues regarding the powering ON
and OFF of the handset. It is possible to turn on the ADP3408
in three different ways:
• Pulling the PWRONKEY Low
• Pulling PWRONIN High
• CHRIN exceeds CHRDET Threshold
Pulling the PWRONKEY low is the normal way of turning on the
handset. This will turn on all the LDOs , except the SIM LDO, as
long as the PWRONKEY is held low. When the VCORE LDO
comes into regulation, the RESET timer is started. After timing
out, the RESET pin goes high, allowing the baseband processor
to start up. With the baseband processor running, it can poll the
ROWX pin of the ADP3408 to determine if the PWRONKEY has
been depressed and pull PWRONIN high. Once the PWRONIN
is taken high, the PWRONKEY can be released. Note that by
monitoring the ROWX pin, the baseband processor can detect a
second PWRONKEY press and turn the LDOs off in an orderly
manner. In this way, the PWRONKEY can be used for ON/
OFF control.
Pulling the PWRONIN pin high is how the alarm in the Real-Time
Clock module will turn the handset on. Asserting PWRONIN
will turn on the core and memory LDOs, starting up the
baseband processor.
–14–
REV. A
Page 15
ADP3408
Applying an external charger can also turn on the handset. This
will turn on all the LDOs, except the SIM LDO, again starting
up the baseband processor. Note that if the battery voltage is
below the undervoltage lockout threshold, applying the adapter
will not start up the LDOs.
Deep Discharge Lockout (DDLO)
The DDLO block in the ADP3408 has two functions:
• To shut off the VRTC LDO in the event that the main battery
discharges to below the RTC LDO’s output voltage. This will
force the Real-Time Clock to run off the backup coin cell or
double layer capacitor.
• To shut down the handset in the event that the software fails
to turn off the phone when the battery drops below 2.9 V to
3.0 V. The DDLO will shut down the handset when the
battery falls below 2.4 V to prevent further discharge and
damage to the cells.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO function in the ADP3408 prevents startup when the
initial voltage of the battery is below the 3.2 V threshold. If the
battery voltage is this low with no load, there is insufficient
capacity left to run the handset. When the battery voltage is
greater than 3.2 V, for example, when inserting a fresh battery,
the UVLO comparator trips and the threshold is reduced to
3.0 V. This allows the handset to start normally until the
battery decays to below 3.0 V. Note that the DDLO has enabled the RTC LDO under this condition.
Once the system is started and the core and memory LDOs are
up and running, the UVLO function is disabled. The ADP3408
is then allowed to run until the battery voltage reaches the
DDLO threshold, typically 2.4 V. Normally, the battery voltage
is monitored by the baseband processor and usually shuts off the
phone at around 3.0 V.
If the handset is off, and the battery voltage drops below 3.0 V,
the UVLO circuit disables startup and puts the ADP3408 into
UVLO shutdown mode. In this mode the ADP3408 draws very
low quiescent current, typically 30 µA. The RTC LDO is still
running until the DDLO disables it. In this mode the ADP3408
draws 5 µA of quiescent current. NiMH batteries can reverse
polarity if the three-cell battery voltage drops below 3.0 V, which
will degrade the batteries’ performance. Lithium ion batteries
will lose their capacity if repeatedly overdischarged, so minimizing
the quiescent currents helps prevent battery damage.
RESET
The ADP3408 contains a reset circuit that is active at both
power-up and power-down. The RESET pin is held low at
initial power-up. An internal power good signal is generated by
the core LDO when its output is up, which starts the reset delay
timer. The delay is set by an external capacitor on RESCAP:
=×12.

C
(1)
t
RESETRESCAP
At power-off, RESET will be kept low to prevent any baseband
processor starts.
Overtemperature Protection
The maximum die temperature for the ADP3408 is 125°C. If
the die temperature exceeds 160°C, the ADP3408 will disable
all the LDOs except the RTC LDO. The LDOs will not be
re-enabled before the die temperature is below 125°C, regardless of the state of PWRONKEY, PWRONIN, and CHRDET.
This ensures that the handset will always power-off before the
ADP3408 exceeds its absolute maximum thermal ratings.
Battery Charging
The ADP3408 battery charger can be used with lithium ion
(Li+) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. The charger
initialization, trickle charging, and Li+ charging are implemented in hardware. Battery type determination and NiMH
charging must be implemented in software.
The charger block works in three different modes:
• Low Current (Trickle) Charging
• Lithium Ion Charging
• Nickel Metal Hydride Charging
Charge Detection
The ADP3408 charger block has a detection circuit that determines if an adapter has been applied to the CHRIN pin. If the
adapter voltage exceeds the battery voltage by 90 mV, the
CHRDET output will go high. If the adapter is then removed
and the voltage at the CHRIN pin drops to only 45 mV above
the BATSNS pin, CHRDET goes low.
Trickle Charging
When the battery voltage is below the UVLO threshold, the
charge current is set to the low current limit, or about 10% of
the full charge current. The low current limit is determined by
the voltage developed across the current sense resistor. Therefore, the trickle charge current can be calculated by:
mV
I
CHR TRICKLE
()
=
20
R
SENSE
(2)
Trickle charging is performed for deeply discharged batteries
to prevent undue stress on either the battery or the charger.
Trickle charging will continue until the battery voltage exceeds
the UVLO threshold.
Once the UVLO threshold has been exceeded, the charger will
switch to the default charge mode, the LDOs will start up, and
the baseband processor will start to run. The processor must
then poll the battery to determine which chemistry is present
and set the charger to the proper mode.
Lithium Ion Charging
For lithium ion charging, the CHGEN input must be low. This
allows the ADP3408 to continue charging the battery at the full
current. The full charge current can be calculated by using:
mV
I
CHR FULL
()
=

(3)
If the voltage at BATSNS is below the charger’s output voltage
of 4.2 V, the battery will continue to charge in the constant
current mode. If the battery has reached the final charge voltage,
a constant voltage is applied to the battery until the charge
current has reduced to the charge termination threshold. The
charge termination threshold is determined by the voltage across
the sense resistor. If the battery voltage is above 4.0 V and the
voltage across the sense resistor has dropped to 14 mV, an Endof-Charge signal is generated and the EOC output goes high. See
Figure 6.

TIME
Figure 6. End of Charge
The baseband processor can either let the charger continue to
charge the battery for an additional amount of time or terminate
the charging. To terminate the charging, the processor must pull
the GATEIN and CHGEN pins high.
NiMH Charging
For NiMH charging, the processor must pull the CHGEN pin
high. This disables the internal Li+ mode control of the gate
drive pin. The gate drive must now be controlled by the baseband processor. By pulling GATEIN high, the GATEDR pin is
driven high, turning the PMOS off. By pulling the GATEIN pin
low, the GATEDR pin is driven low, and the PMOS is turned
on. So, by pulsing the GATEIN input, the processor can charge
a NiMH battery. Note that when charging NiMH cells, a current-limited adapter is required.
During the PMOS off periods, the battery voltage needs to be
monitored through the MVBAT pin. The battery voltage is
continually polled until the final battery voltage is reached, at
which time the charge can either be terminated or the frequency
of the pulsing reduced. An alternative method of determining
the end of charge is to monitor the temperature of the cells and
terminate the charging when a rapid rise in temperature is detected.
Battery Voltage Monitoring
The battery voltage can be monitored at MVBAT during charging and discharging to determine the condition of the battery.
An internal resistor divider can be connected to BATSNS when
both the digital and analog baseband sections are powered up. To
enable MVBAT, both PWRONIN and TCXOEN must be high.
The ratio of the voltage divider is selected so that the 2.4 V
maximum input of the AD6521’s auxiliary ADC will correspond
with the maximum battery voltage of 5.5 V. The divider will be
disconnected from the battery when the baseband sections are
powered down.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Input Capacitor Selection
For the input (VBAT, VBAT2, and VRTCIN) of the ADP3408,
a local bypass capacitor is recommended. Use a 10 µF, low
ESR capacitor. Multilayer ceramic chip (MLCC) 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
in parallel.
Separate inputs for the SIM LDO and the RTC LDO are supplied
for additional bypassing or filtering. The SIM LDO has VBAT2
as its input and the RTC LDO has VRTCIN.
LDO Capacitor Selection
The performance of any LDO is a function of the output capacitor.
The core, memory, SIM, 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 (anyCAP
®
technology). The ADP3408 is stable with extremely
low ESR capacitors (ESR ~ 0), such as Multilayer Ceramic
Capacitors (MLCC), 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 capacitor, X7R or better, is recommended.
The RTC LDO can have a rechargeable coin cell or an electric
double-layer capacitor as a load, but an additional 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor is recommended for stability and best performance.
RESET Capacitor Selection
RESET is held low at power-up. An internal power good signal
starts the reset delay when the core LDO is up. The delay is set
by an external capacitor on RESCAP:
(4)
A 100 nF capacitor will produce a 120 ms reset delay. The
current capability of RESET is minimal (a few hundred nA)
when VCORE is off to minimize power consumption. When
VCORE is on, RESET is capable of driving 500 µA.
Setting the Charge Current
The ADP3408 is capable of charging both lithium ion and
NiMH batteries. For NiMH batteries, the charge current is
limited by the adapter. For lithium ion batteries, the charge
current is programmed by selecting the sense resistor, R1.
The lithium ion charge current is calculated using:

It should be noted that the adapter voltage can be either
preregulated or nonregulated. In the preregulated case, the
difference between the maximum and minimum adapter voltage
is probably not significant. In the unregulated case, the adapter
voltage can have a wide range specified. However, the maximum
voltage specified is usually with no load applied. So, the worst-case
power dissipation calculation will often lead to an over-specified
pass device. In either case, it is best to determine the load
characteristics of the adapter to optimize the charger design.

Charger Diode Selection
The diode, D1, shown in Figure 2, is used to prevent the battery from
discharging through the PMOS’s body diode into the charger’s
internal bias circuits. Choose a diode with a current rating high
enough to handle the battery charging current and a voltage
rating greater than VBAT. The blocking diode is required for
both lithium and nickel battery types.
Printed Circuit Board Layout Considerations
Use the following general guidelines when designing printed
circuit boards:
1. Connect the battery to the VBAT, VBAT2, and VRTCIN
pins of the ADP3408. Locate the input capacitor as close to
the pins as possible.
2. VAN and VTCXO capacitors should be returned to AGND.
3. VCORE, VMEM, and VSIM capacitors should be returned
to DGND.
4. 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.
5. Run a separate trace from the BATSNS pin to the battery to
prevent voltage drop error in the MVBAT measurement.
6. Kelvin-connect the charger’s sense resistor by running separate traces to the CHRIN and ISENSE pins. Make sure that the
traces are terminated as close to the resistor’s body as possible.
7. Use the best industry practice for thermal considerations
during the layout of the ADP3408 and charger components.
Careful use of copper area, weight, and multilayer construction all contribute to improved thermal performance.

LFCSP Layout Consideration
The CSP package has an exposed die paddle on the bottom that
efficiently conducts heat to the PCB. To achieve the optimum
performance from the CSP package, special consideration must
be given to the layout of the PCB. Use the following layout
guidelines for the CSP package:
1. The pad pattern is given in Figure 7. The pad dimension
should be followed closely for reliable solder joints while
maintaining reasonable clearances to prevent solder bridging.

2. The thermal pad of the CSP package provides a low thermal
impedance path to the PCB. Therefore, the PCB must be
properly designed to effectively conduct the heat away from
the package. This is achieved by adding thermal vias to the
PCB, which provide a thermal path to the inner or bottom
layers. See Figure 8 for the recommended via pattern. Note
that the via diameter is small. This is to prevent the solder
from flowing through the via and leaving voids in the thermal
pad solder joint.
Note that the thermal pad is attached to the die substrate, so
the thermal planes that the vias attach the package to must
be electrically isolated or connected to VBAT. Do not con-
nect the thermal pad to ground.
The paste mask for the thermal pad needs to be designed for
the maximum coverage to effectively remove the heat from
the package. However, due to the presence of thermal vias
and the large size of the thermal pad, eliminating voids may
not be possible. Also, if the solder paste coverage is too large,
solder joint defects may occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to use multiple small openings over a single big opening in
designing the paste mask. The recommended paste mask
pattern is given in Figure 9. This pattern will result in about
80% coverage, which should not degrade the thermal performance of the package significantly.

5. The recommended paste mask stencil thickness is
0.125 mm. A laser cut stainless steel stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used.
A “No Clean,” Type 3 solder paste should be used for
mounting the LFCSP package. Also, a nitrogen purge during
the reflow process is recommended.
6. The package manufacturer recommends that the reflow tem-
perature should not exceed 220C and the time above liquidus
is less than 75 seconds. The preheat ramp should be
3C/second or lower. The actual temperature profile depends
on the board’s density and must be determined by the assembly house as to what works best.

3. The solder mask opening should be about 120 microns
(4.7 mils) larger than the pad size resulting in minimum 60
microns (2.4 mils) clearance between the copper pad and
solder mask.
4. The paste mask opening is typically designed to match the
pad size used on the peripheral pads of the LFCSP package.
This should provide a reliable solder joint as long as the
stencil thickness is about 0.125 mm.
