PRODUCT SUMMARY SKY87006: High-Frequency Step-Down Converter with MIPI® RF Front-End Control for 2G/3G/4G RF Power Amplifiers Applications Description 2G/3G/4G modules Smartphones Wireless data cards Tablets/netbooks and e-readers The SKY87006 is a dynamic output controlled DC-DC step-down converter for multimode 2G GSM/EDGE, 3G WCDMA, and 4G LTE RF Power Amplifier (RFPA) applications. The SKY87006 has a programmable output voltage range between 0.4 V and 3.6 V with optimized efficiency for all operating states where load currents are 850 mA or less, but can support typical peak load currents up to 1.5 A. Features Dynamic output voltage: 0.4 V to 3.6 V: Register 0, fast write 7-bit resolution control (30 mV steps) Register 3, 8-bit resolution control (15 mV steps) Modes: Low power mode Standby mode Light-load power saving mode Forced PWM mode Bypass mode High switching frequency: 2.5 MHz MIPI RF front-end control interface Efficiency up to 96% Integrated bypass regulator Over-temperature and short-circuit protection Small footprint, 9-bump WLCSP package (MSL1, 260 ºC per JEDEC J-STD-020) Skyworks GreenTM products are compliant with all applicable legislation and are halogen-free. For additional information, refer to Skyworks Definition of GreenTM, document number SQ04–0074. The SKY87006 output voltage is set by using a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) RF Front-End (RFFE) control with a fastwrite 7-bit resolution (30 mV steps) data register or an 8-bit high resolution (15 mV steps) data register. To cover peak load current demands and low input voltage dropout conditions, the DC-DC regulation control has an automatic linear regulator bypass switch to connect from the the source battery supply to the output. This minimizes voltage drop and provides a 1.5 A (typical) current limit for circuit protection. The output current capability of the DC-DC switching regulator and regulated LDO bypass can support typical load currents up to 3.0 A. High switching frequency operation permits the use of a small inductor and reduces output capacitance requirements. Reduced external component values aid ultrafast transient response needs of cellular RF power amplifier applications. The SKY87006 has a light load power saving mode. Locked PWM operation is made possible by a MIPI RFFE control register bit. Locking PWM operation can improve load transient response, which can improve performance for 2G operating modes. The SKY87006 is available in a small Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP), and is rated over a range of 40 to +85 °C. Figure 1 shows the SKY87006 System Diagram.
