FAN5909 Multi-Mode Buck Converter with LDO Assist for GSM / EDGE, 3 G/3.5 G and 4 G PAs Description www.onsemi.com The FAN5909 is a high−efficiency, low−noise, synchronous, step−down, DC−DC converter optimized for powering Radio Frequency (RF) Power Amplifiers (PAs) in handsets and other mobile applications. Load currents up to 2.5 A are allowed, which enables GSM / EDGE, 3 G/3.5 G, and 4G platforms under very poor VSWR conditions. 1 The output voltage may be dynamically adjusted from 0.40 V to WLCSP 3.60 V, proportional to an analog input voltage VCON ranging from 16 BUMP 0.16 V to 1.44 V, optimizing power−added efficiency. Fast transition CASE 567SD times of less than 6 ms are achieved, allowing excellent inter−slot settling. An integrated LDO is automatically enabled under heavy load conditions or when the battery voltage and voltage drop across the DC−DC PMOS device are within a set range of the desired output voltage. This LDO−assist feature supports heavy load currents under the most stringent battery and VSWR conditions while maintaining high efficiency, low dropout, and superior spectral performance. The FAN5909 DC−DC operates in PWM Mode with a • Input Under−Voltage Lockout / Thermal Shutdown 2.9 MHz switching frequency and supports a single, small • 1.615 mm x 1.615 mm, 16−Bump, 0.4 mm Pitch form−factor inductor ranging from 1.0 mH to 2.2 mH.

The DC−DC converter operates with current−mode control and supports a wide range of load currents. High−current applications up to a 2.5 A DC output, such as mandated by GSM/EDGE applications, are allowed. Performance degradation due to spurs is removed by spreading the ripple energy through clock dither. A regulated Bypass Mode continues to regulate the output to the desired voltage as VIN approaches VOUT. The LDO offers a dropout voltage of approximately 100 mV under a 2 A load current. The output voltage VOUT is regulated to 2.5 times the input control voltage, VCON, set by an external DAC. The FAN5909 operates in either PWM or PFM Mode, depending on the output voltage and load current. In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Mode, regulation begins with on−state. A P−channel transistor is turned on and the inductor current is ramped up until the off−state begins. In the off−state, the P−channel is switched off and an N−channel transistor is turned on. The inductor current decreases to maintain an average value equal to the DC load current. The inductor current is continuously monitored. A current sense flags when the P−channel transistor current exceeds the current limit and the switcher is turned back to off−state to decrease the inductor current and prevent magnetic saturation. The current sense flags when the N−channel transistor current exceeds the current limit and redirects discharging current through the inductor back to the battery. In Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Mode, the FAN5909 operates in a constant on−time mode at low load currents. During on−state, the P−channel is turned on for a specified time before switching to off−state. In off−state, the N−channel switch is enabled until inductor current decreases to 0 A. The switcher enters three−state until a new regulation cycle starts. PFM operation is allowed only in Low−Power Mode (MODE=1) for output voltages nominally less than 1.5 V. At low load currents, PFM achieves higher efficiency than PWM. The trade−off for efficiency improvement, however, is larger output ripple. Some applications, such as audio, may not tolerate the higher ripple, especially at high output voltages. In all cases, it is recommended that sharp VCON transitions be applied, letting the transition controller optimize the output voltage slew rate. DVOUT Positive Step After a VCON positive step, the FAN5909 enters Current−Limit Mode, where VOUT ramps with a constant slew rate dictated by the output capacitor and the current limit. DVOUT Negative Step After a VCON negative step, the FAN5909 enters Current Limit Mode where VOUT is reduced with a constant slew rate dictated by the output capacitor and the current limit. VOUT Transition to or from Forced Bypass The DC−DC is forced into 100% duty cycle for VCON nominally greater than 1.6 V. This allows the output to be connected to the supply through both the low−resistance DC−DC and the LDO PFETs. VOUT Transition at Startup At startup, after the EN rising edge is detected, the system requires 25 ms for all internal voltage references and amplifiers to start before enabling the DC−DC converter function. MODE Pin The MODE pin enable Forced PWM Mode or Auto PFM / PWM Mode. When the MODE pin is toggled HIGH (logic 1), the FAN5909 operates in PFM for VOUT < 1.5 V under light−load conditions and PWM for heavy−load conditions. If the MODE pin is set LOW (logic = 0), it operates in Forced PWM Mode. Auto PFM / PWM Mode (MODE = 1) Auto PFM/PWM Mode is appropriate for 3 G/3.5 G and 4 G applications. Forced PWM Mode (MODE = 0) Forced PWM Mode is appropriate for applications that demand minimal ripple over the entire output voltage range. DC−DC – LDO−Assist The LDO−assist function maintains output regulation when VIN approaches VOUT, enables fast transition times under heavy loads, and minimizes PCB space by enabling a smaller inductor to be employed by using the LDO to provide a portion of the necessary load current. The LDO−assist function limits the maximum current that the DC−DC may supply by shunting current away from the DC−DC under heavy loads and high duty cycles. In addition, the LDO−assist enables a seamless transition into 100% duty cycle, ensuring both low output ripple and constant output regulation. Since the LDO−assist function limits the maximum current supplied by the DC−DC, PCB area is minimized by enabling a lower current capable, and thus smaller form factor, inductor to be used. Dynamic Output Voltage Transitions FAN5909 has a complex voltage transition controller that realizes 6 ms transition times with a large output capacitor and output voltage ranges. The transition controller manages five transitions: • DVOUT positive step • DVOUT negative step • DVOUT transition to or from 100% duty cycle • DVOUT transition at startup www.onsemi.com 11 FAN5909 DC−DC – Sleep Mode The Sleep Mode minimizing current while enabling rapid return to regulation. Sleep Mode is entered when VCON is held below 70 mV for at least 40 ms. In this mode, current consumption is reduced to under 50 mA. Sleep Mode is exited after ~12 ms when VCON is set above 125 mV. Application Information Figure 26 illustrates the FAN5909 in a GSM / EDGE / WCDMA transmitter configuration, driving multiple GSM / EDGE and 3 G/3.5 G and 4 G PAs. Figure 27 presents a timing diagram designed to meet GSM specifications. DC Output Voltage Figure 25. Output Voltage vs. Control Voltage The output voltage is determined by VCON provided by an external DAC or voltage reference: V OUT + 2.5 V CON The FAN5909 is designed to support voltage transients of 6 ms when configured for GSM/EDGE applications (MODE=0) and driving a load capacitance of approximately 14 mF. Figure 28 shows a timing diagram for WCDMA applications. (eq. 1) The FAN5909 provides regulated VOUT only if VCON falls within the typical range from 0.16 V to 1.44 V. This allows VOUT to be adjusted between 0.4 V and 3.6 V. If VCON is less than 0.16 V, VOUT is clamped to 0.40 V. In Auto PFM/PWM Mode, the FAN5909 automatically switches between PFM and PWM. In Forced PWM Mode (MODE = 0), the FAN5909 automatically switches into PWM Mode. 4.7mF 0402 PA GSM/ EGSM 850/900MHz PA PCS/DCS 1800/1900MHz LB_IN FB PVIN RFOUT VRAMP 0.4V to3.5V up to 2.5A for VBAT > 3.7V.

Timing Diagram for WCDMA Transmitters Inductor Selection A 6.8 pF capacitor may be added in parallel with COUT to reduce the capacitor’s parasitic inductance. The FAN5909 operates at 2.9 MHz switching frequency, allowing 1.0 mH or 1.5 mH inductors to be used in designs. For applications requiring the smallest possible PCB area, use a 1.0 mH 2012 inductor or a 1.0 mH 2016 inductor for optimum efficiency performance. Table 6.

RECOMMENDED INDUCTORS Inductor L Description 1.0 mH ±20%, 2.1 A, 2012 Case Size Cyntec: PSK20121T−1R0MS−63 Description PCB Layout and Component Placement • The key point in the placement is the power ground 1.0 mH ±20%, 2.2 A, 2016 Case Size Toko: DFE201610R−H−1R0M Capacitor Selection The minimum required output capacitor COUT should be one (1) 4.7 mF, 6.3 V, X5R with an ESR of 10 mW or lower and an ESL of 0.3 nH or lower in parallel after inductor L1. Larger case sizes result in increased loop parasitic inductance and higher noise. One 4.7 mF capacitor should be used as a decoupling capacitor at the GSM/EDGE PA VCC pin and another 4.7 mF capacitor should be placed at VCC pin of the 3 G/4 G PA. • • • (PGND) connection shared between the FAN5909, CIN, and COUT. This minimizes the parasitic inductance of the switching loop paths. Place the inductor away from the feedback pins to prevent unpredictable loop behavior. Ensure the traces are wide enough to handle the maximum current value, especially in Bypass Mode. Ensure the vias are able to handle the current density. Use filled vias if available. www.onsemi.com 13 FAN5909 PACKAGE DIMENSIONS WLCSP16 1.615x1.615x0.586 CASE 567SD ISSUE O PRODUCT SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS D E X Y Unit 1.615 ± 0.030 1.615 ± 0.030 0.2075 0.2075 mm www.onsemi.com 14 FAN5909 ON Semiconductor and are trademarks of Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC dba ON Semiconductor or its subsidiaries in the United States and/or other countries.
