The MAX8982A/MAX8982X are complete power-management ICs for the latest LTE/WCDMA/GSM/GPRS/
EDGE data card based on the new ICERA platform (E400/
E450). The MAX8982A operates from a 4.1V to 5.5V
supply and contains four efficient step-down converters,
nine low dropout linear regulators (LDOs) to power all
RF and baseband circuitry, three current regulators with
programmable current up to 24mA and embedded flash
timers, and an I
regulator output voltages as well as on/off control for flexibility. The linear regulators provide greater than 60dB
PSRR, less than 45FV of output noise, and minimal cross
coupling noise between LDOs.
The MAX8982X operates from a 2.9V to 5.5V supply. The
MAX8982X has the same features as the MAX8982A,
except it does not have BUCK3, BUCK4, and LDO8.
All buck converters and LDOs are enabled/disabled by
either I
This feature provides more flexibility in system design.

Detailed Description
Power-On/Off Control
The power-on/off state diagram is shown in Figure 3.
When the IN1_ supply voltage is valid and EN is high,
the default power supplies turn on in sequence (Figure
4). Once powered up, any step-down or LDO output can
be enabled or disabled through I
grammed to be controlled by the PWR_REQ logic input.
PWR_REQ is a control input from baseband chipset used
to enable/disable specified regulators.
After power-up, when PWR_REQ goes logic-high, any
step-down or LDO output programmed for PWR_REQ
control is enabled in a predefined sequence. The regulators
are powered up in four groups as shown in Figure 5. See the
following for the regulators belonging to each group. When
PWR_REQ goes logic-low, all regulators programmed for
PWR_REQ control are turned off simultaneously.

Step-Down Converters
The step-down converters are optimized for high efficiency over a wide load range, small external component
size, low output ripple, and excellent transient response.
The step-down converters also feature an internal
MOSFET switch with optimized on-resistance and an
internal synchronous rectifier to maximize the efficiency
and reduce the number of external components. The ICs
use a proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme that
switches with a nearly fixed frequency. Figure 6 shows
the frequency variation versus load current with a 5V
input supply and at T
= +25°C.

The default output is 0.9V. The BUCK1 voltage is programmable through I
BUCK1 includes DVS that allows two output voltages
to be programmed through I
trol input to select between the two voltages. Toggling
DVS1 changes the BUCK1 output voltage on-the-fly
between the two programmed voltages (Figure 7). Each
BUCK1DVS_ register specifies a voltage in the 0.6V to
1.2V range in 25mV increments.

Ramp-Up/Down Slope Control on BUCK1
BUCK1 uses a controlled ramp rate when it is enabled
and when changing between output voltage settings.
Four programmable slew rates are available for BUCK1.
The default value is 12.5mV/Fs (Table 4). The same slew
rate is applied for ramp-up/down.
Setting the Output Voltage on BUCK2
The BUCK2 output voltage is fixed at 1.8V. No programmable output is available.
Setting the Output Voltage on BUCK3

voltage is programmable from 2.9V to 3.65V in 50mV
increments through I
MAX8982A.

BUCK4 Step-Down Converter
for PA (Power Amplifier)
BUCK4 is a 2MHz fixed-frequency PWM step-down
converter, typically used to supply the power amplifier
MAX8982A/MAX8982X
(PA). The BUCK4 load capability is 1.8A. BUCK4 is only
available on the MAX8982A.
Setting the Output Voltage on BUCK4
The default output voltage is 3.4V. The BUCK4 output
voltage is programmable between 3.0V and 3.75V in
50mV increments through I
2
C.
Linear Regulators
All linear regulators are designed for low-drop, low noise,
high PSRR, and low quiescent current to minimize power
consumption. If the input voltage is above UVLO threshold and power-on is logic-high, the default linear regulator (LDO3) turns on. The other LDOs are turned on and
off by the baseband processor through the I
or PWR_REQ control signal. All LDO output voltages are
programmable through the I
voltages.
2
C interface within option

Reference Bypass (REFBP)
The reference bypass is for low noise filtering only and
must not be loaded. Bypass REFBP with a 0.1FF ceramic
capacitor. The REFBP voltage is 0.8V (typ). Do not use
REFBP to provide power to external circuitry.
Thermal Overload Protection
If the internal die temperature of any LDOs or stepdown regulators reaches +160NC, the ICs shut down the
regulator locally. The regulator is reenabled after it cools
by 10NC. The ICs also contain a single +125NC thermal
detector located in the center of the die. When the temperature at the center of the die exceeds +125NC, this
detector triggers and activates an interrupt.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The ICs monitor the voltage at the IN1_ power input.
When this voltage drops below 3.5V (MAX8982A) or
2.4V (MAX8982X), the ICs shut down. The ICs turn on
when this voltage rises above 3.8V (MAX8982A) or 2.7V
(MAX8982X) and EN is high. After a UVLO event, all registers are reset to their POR value.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
If the voltage on the IN1_ or IN4 inputs exceeds 5.75V
(typ), the ICs shut down. When the supply voltage
returns to within the valid operating range and EN is
high, the ICs turn on and go through a normal power-up
sequence. All registers are reset to their default poweron reset (POR) value.
Power-On Reset (POR)
Power-on reset (POR) for I2C occurs when the ICs turn
off due to UVLO, OVP, or EN = low. This condition puts
the IC into shutdown and then clears all previously programmed output voltages in the internal registers.
The programmed values in BUCK1DVS1 and
BUCK1DVS2 are also reset to their defaults when
PWR_REQ goes low in normal operation mode.

Current Regulators (DR1, DR2, DR3)
The ICs have three current regulators that can handle
up to 24mA. The sink current for each current regulator
2
is set from 3mA to 24mA in 3mA increments through I
C.
The default set current is 24mA on each channel.
If a current other than the programmable options is
required, a series resistor can be added to set a current
from 0mA to 24mA (Figure 10). The resistor forces the
current regulator to operate in dropout. Set the resistor
value to (V

, where VF is the forward volt-

LED

grammed current (24mA default).
Each current regulator has an embedded flash timer.
2
The flash time is programmable through the I
C interface. This feature allows the system designer to generate
a desired pattern on LED.
Embedded Flash Timer
The flash generator is clocked by the internal 32kHz oscillator. It consists of a counter that wraps at a programmable
value to provide a configurable sequence period (t
). Up

). The programmable LED on-time (tON)
1–t4
for each pulse is the same for each pulse. The flash timing is shown in Figure 11. The dimming current can be
changed at any time.
IRQ Description
The ICs use the IRQ to indicate to the baseband processor that their status has changed. The IRQ signal is
asserted (pulls low) whenever an interrupt is triggered.
The baseband controller shall read the interrupt register
to find sources of interrupt. IRQ is cleared (high) as soon
as the read sequence of the last IRQ register that contains an active interrupt starts. If an interrupt is captured
during the read sequence, IRQ becomes active (low)
2
after minimum 24 cycles of the I
C clock. An interrupt
can be masked to prevent IRQ from being asserted for
the masked event. A mask bit in the IRQM register implements masking.
For UVLO interrupt bit, the bit status is only maintained
as long as V
is higher than 2.0V in any conditions.

MAX8982A/MAX8982X
The ICs include one dedicated reset output called
RESET. This is the reset signal for the core and RTB
(real-time block) in baseband. RESET goes high after the
ICs’ power-up sequence is complete. RESET is pulled
low when the ICs are shut down (due to input supply out
of range or EN goes low).
RESET SIGNAL to B/B Chipset
I2C Serial Interface
An I2C-compatible, 2-wire serial interface is used for
regulator on/off control, setting output voltages, LED
control, and other functions. See Table 5 for the complete register map.
2
C serial bus consists of a bidirectional serial-data
The I
line (SDA) and a serial-clock line (SCL). I
drain bus. SDA and SCL require pullup resistors (500I
or greater). Optional 24I resistors in series with SDA and
SCL help to protect the device inputs from high-voltage
spikes on the bus lines. Series resistors also minimize
crosstalk and undershoot on bus lines.
One data bit is transferred for each SCL clock cycle. The
data on SDA must remain stable during the high portion of
the SCL clock pulse (Figure 12). Changes in SDA while SCL
is high are control signals (START and STOP conditions).
START and STOP Conditions
Each transmit sequence is framed by a START (S) condition and a STOP (P) condition. Each packet is 9 bits long; 8
bits of data followed by the acknowledge bit. The ICs support data transfer rates with a SCL frequency up to 400kHz.

Bit Transfer

SCL
START
CONDITION
Figure 13. START and STOP Conditions
Both SDA and SCL remain high when the bus is not
busy. The master device initiates communication by
issuing a START condition. A START condition is a
high-to-low transition of SDA, while SCL is high. A STOP
condition is a low-to-high transition of the data line while
SCL is high (Figure 13).
A START condition from the master signals the beginning of a transmission to the ICs. The master terminates
transmission by issuing a not acknowledge followed by a
STOP condition. See the Acknowledge section for more
information. The STOP condition frees the bus. To issue
a series of commands to the slave, the master can issue
STOP
CONDITION
40
Power-Management ICs for
ICERA E400/E450 Platform
REPEATED START (Sr) commands instead of a STOP
command to maintain control of the bus. In general, a
REPEATED START command is functionally equivalent
to a regular START command.
When a STOP condition or incorrect address is detected,
the ICs internally disconnect SCL from the serial interface until the next START condition, minimizing digital
noise and feedthrough.
2
A device on the I
C bus that generates a message is
called a transmitter, and a device that receives the message is a receiver. The device that controls the message
is the master, and the devices that are controlled by the
master are called slaves (Figure 14).
The ICs are slave transmitter/receiver devices, and the
B/B chipset is a master transmitter/receiver. The master
initiates data transfer on the bus and generates SCL to
permit data transfer.
System Configuration
Acknowledge
The number of data bytes between the START and STOP
conditions for the transmitter and receiver are unlimited.
Each 8-bit byte is followed by an acknowledge bit. The
acknowledge bit is a high-level signal put on SDA by the
transmitter during which time the master generates an
extra acknowledge-related clock pulse. A slave receiver
that is addressed must generate an acknowledge after
each byte it receives. Also, a master receiver must
generate an acknowledge after each byte it receives
that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. See
Figure 15.
The device that acknowledges must pull down the DATA
line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the
DATA line is stable low during the high period of the
acknowledge clock pulse (setup and hold times must
also be met). A master receiver must signal an end of
data to the transmitter by not generating an acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the
slave. In this case, the transmitter must leave SDA high
to enable the master to generate a STOP condition.

Slave Address
The ICs act as a slave transmitter/receiver. The slave
address of the ICs is:
10000010 (0x82) for write operations
10000011 (0x83) for read operations
The least significant bit is the read/write indicator.

Write Operations
Use the following procedure to write to a sequential
block of registers (Figure 17):
1) The master sends a start command.
2) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed
by a write bit (0x82).
3) The addressed slave asserts an acknowledge by
pulling SDA low.
Power-Management ICs for
ICERA E400/E450 Platform
4) The master sends the 8-bit register pointer of the first
register to write.
5) The slave acknowledges the register pointer.
6) The master sends a data byte.
7) The slave acknowledges the data byte.
8) The slave updates with the new data.
9) Steps 6 to 8 are repeated for as many registers in
the block, with the register pointer automatically
incremented each time.
10) The master sends a STOP condition.
Read Operations
Use the following method to read a sequential block of
registers (Figure 18):
1) The master sends a start command.
2) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed
by a write bit (0x83).
3) The addressed slave asserts an acknowledge by
pulling SDA low.
4) The master sends an 8-bit register pointer of the first
MAX8982A/MAX8982X
register in the block.
5) The slave acknowledges the register pointer.
6) The master sends a repeated START condition.
7) The master sends the 7-bit slave address followed
by a read bit.
8) The slave asserts an acknowledge by pulling SDA low.
9) The slave sends the 8-bit data (contents of the register).
10) The master asserts an acknowledge by pulling
SDA low when there is more data to read, or a not
acknowledge by keeping SDA high when all data
has been read.
11) Steps 9 and 10 are repeated for as many registers
in the block, with the register pointer automatically
incremented each time.
12) The master sends a STOP condition.
The register pointer can be omitted from the above procedure when starting from register 0x00.
Note: The IRQM register is effective only as long as IN1A and IN1B are higher than the falling UVLO threshold. If the IN1A and
IN1B are below the falling UVLO threshold, this IRQM register resets to the POR value.
Note: The IRQ register is effective only as long as IN1A and IN1B are higher than 2.0V. If the IN1A and IN1B are below 2.0V,
these registers reset to the POR value.
The step-down converters operate with inductors of 1FH
to 4.7FH. Low inductance values are physically smaller,
but require faster switching, which results in some efficiency loss. The inductor’s DC current rating only needs
to match the maximum load current of the application
plus 100mA because the step-down converters feature
zero current overshoot during startup and load transients.
Table 60. Recommended Inductors
For optimum voltage positioning load transients, choose
MAX8982A/MAX8982X
an inductor with DC series resistance in the 30mW
to 100mW range. For higher efficiency at heavy load
(above 200mA) or minimal load regulation (but some
transient overshoot), the resistance should be kept
below 100mW. For light load applications up to 200mA,
a higher resistance is acceptable with very little impact
on performance.
Recommended inductors are listed in Table 60.

PCB Layout Guidelines
Due to fast switching waveforms and high current paths,
careful PCB layout is required to achieve optimal performance. Minimize trace lengths between the IC and the
inductor, the input capacitor, and the output capacitor
for each step-down converter. Keep these traces short,
direct, and wide. Route noise sensitive traces away from
the switching nodes (LX_).
Refer to the MAX8982A/MAX8982X EV Kit for a PCB
layout example.
