General Description
The MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z high-frequency step-down
converters are optimized for dynamically powering the
power amplifier (PA) in WCDMA or NCDMA handsets.
The devices integrate a high-efficiency PWM step-down
converter for medium- and low-power transmission, and
a 60mΩ typical bypass FET to power the PA directly
from the battery during high-power transmission. Dual
200mA low-noise, high-PSRR low-dropout regulators
(LDOs) for PA biasing are also integrated.
Two switching frequency options are available—2MHz
(MAX8805Y) and 4MHz (MAX8805Z)—allowing optimization for smallest solution size or highest efficiency. Fast
switching allows the use of small ceramic 2.2µF input and
output capacitors while maintaining low ripple voltage.
The feedback network is integrated, further reducing
external component count and total solution size.
The MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z use an analog input driven
by an external DAC to control the output voltage linearly
for continuous PA power adjustment. At high duty
cycle, the MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z automatically switch
to the bypass mode, connecting the input to the output
through a low-impedance (60mΩ typ) MOSFET. The
user can also enable the bypass mode directly through
a logic-control input.
The LDOs in the MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z are designed
for low-noise operation (35µV
RMS
typ). Each LDO is indi-
vidually enabled through its own logic control interface.
The MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z are available in a 16-bump,
2mm x 2mm WLP package (0.7mm max height).

Note: This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
