19-2075; Rev 2; 10/02 Integrated Cellular RF-Section Power-Management IC The MAX8890 is a power-management IC intended for cellular handsets using a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell battery with input voltages from +2.5V to +5.5V. The IC contains three identical, low-noise, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators to provide all of the supply voltage requirements for the RF portion of the handset. The first LDO is intended to power the transmitter, receiver, and synthesizer. The second LDO is intended to power the TCXO, and high-power voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The third LDO is intended to power the UHF offset VCO. Each LDO has its own individual enable (ON/OFF) control to maximize design flexibility. The reference is powered on if any of the enable inputs (EN1, EN2, EN3) are logic high. The high-accuracy output voltage of each LDO is preset at an internally trimmed voltage (1.8V to 3.3V in 50mV increments). Each LDO is capable of supplying 100mA with a low 50mV dropout and is optimized for low noise and high crosstalk-isolation. Designed with internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistors, the MAX8890’s low 180µA operating supply current is independent of load. Other features include short-circuit and thermal-overload protection. The MAX8890 is available in a compact, high-power, 12-pin 4mm ✕ 4mm QFN package with a metal pad on the underside.

Typical Application Circuit Detailed Description The MAX8890 is an RF power-management IC for a cellular phone. The MAX8890 contains three low-noise, low quiescent current, low-dropout, linear regulators for powering the transmitter, receiver, synthesizer, TCXO, and voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs). Each lowdropout linear regulator (LDO) supplies loads up to 100mA and is available with preset output voltages from 1.8V to 3.3V in 50mV increments. Furthermore, the MAX8890’s input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V is perfect for single-cell Li+ battery or 3-cell NiMH battery applications. As illustrated in Figure 2, each regulator consists of an error amplifier, internal feedback resistive-divider, and P-channel MOSFET pass transistor. The output voltage feeds back through the internal resistive-divider connected to OUT_. This feedback voltage connects to the error amplifier, which compares the feedback voltage with the internal 1.25V reference voltage and amplifies the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled lower, which allows more current to flow to the output and increases the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled up, allowing less current to flow to the output. Clear transmission and reception in a cellular phone can only be achieved with a low-noise power supply. Therefore, all three LDOs on the MAX8890 feature low output voltage noise, high power-supply rejection ratios, and excellent load and line regulation characteristics. Designed for single-cell Li+ battery applications where a pulsed current demand is required from the battery, each LDO is designed with 45µVRMS noise from 10Hz to 100kHz and PSRR of 67dB. The MAX8890 also features output current limiting (short-circuit protection), a low-power shutdown mode, and thermal overload protection. Internal P-Channel Pass MOSFET Each linear regulator features a 0.5Ω P-channel MOSFET pass transistor. Unlike similar designs using PNP pass transistors, P-channel MOSFETs require no base drive, which reduces the quiescent current. PNP based regulators also waste considerable current in dropout when the pass transistor saturates and use high base-drive currents under large loads. The MAX8890 does not suffer from these problems and consumes only 180µA of quiescent current (all three regulators enabled). Current Limit (Short-Circuit Protection) The MAX8890 contains separate current-limit circuitry for each linear regulator. The device monitors and controls the gate voltage of each pass transistor, limiting the regulator’s output current to 250mA (typ). The output can be shorted to ground for an indefinite period of time without damage to the part as long as the maximum continuous power dissipation rating is not exceeded. Output Voltage Selection The MAX8890 is supplied with factory-set output voltages from 1.8V to 3.3V in 50mV increments. The threeletter part number suffix identifies the output voltage for each regulator. For example, the MAX8890ETCAKM’s output voltages are preset to 3.3V (V OUT1 ), 2.5V (VOUT2), and 1.8V (VOUT3). _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX8890 Integrated Cellular RF-Section Power-Management IC LINEAR REGULATOR #1 IN1 RSENSE OUT1 THERMAL SHDN ERROR AMPLIFIER CURRENT LIMIT CONTROL LOCIC IN1 EN1 BP REF 1.25V STARTUP CIRCUITRY GND IN2 LINEAR REGULATOR #2 OUT2 EN2 IN3 LINEAR REGULATOR #3 OUT3 EN3 Figure 2. Functional Diagram Enable If any one of the three low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) is enabled, the internal 1.25V reference powers up. Therefore, all three LDOs must be disabled to shut down the internal reference, reducing the supply current to 0.01µA. Pull EN_ low to enter shutdown. When any one of the linear regulators is shutdown, the corresponding MAX8890 output disconnects from the corresponding input, and the output discharges through an internal 8 5kΩ resistor. The capacitance and load determine the rate at which VOUT_ decays. Do not leave EN_ floating. Connect EN_ to IN_ for normal operation. EN_ can be pulled as high as 6V, regardless of the input and output voltages. Thermal-Overload Protection Thermal-overload protection limits the MAX8890’s total power dissipation in the event of fault conditions. Each linear regulator has its own thermal-shutdown circuitry. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Integrated Cellular RF-Section Power-Management IC Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Capacitors are required at each input and each output of the MAX8890 for stable operation over the full load range and full temperature range. Connect a minimum 2.2µF ceramic capacitor between OUT_ and ground to ensure stability and optimum transient response. Use larger 10µF ceramic output capacitors for lower noise requirements. The input capacitor (CIN_) lowers the source impedance of the input supply, thereby reducing the input noise and improving transient response. Connect a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitance between each IN_ and ground. Place all input and output capacitors as close to the MAX8890 as possible to minimize the impact of PC board trace impedance. Because IN1 and IN2 are next to each other, they may easily share a single 2.2µF or larger ceramic capacitor. Surface-mount ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and are commonly available in values up to 10µF. However, note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature. Z5U and Y5V dielectrics may require a minimum 3.3µF nominal output capacitance, especially with low temperature operation. Noise, PSRR, and Transient Response The MAX8890 is designed to operate with low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in battery-powered systems while providing low noise, fast transient response, and high AC rejection. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for a plot of Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) vs. Frequency. When operating from noisy sources, improved supply-noise rejection and transient response can be achieved by increasing the values of the input and output bypass capacitors and through passive filtering techniques. The MAX8890 load-transient response graphs (see Typical Operating Characteristics) show two components of the output response: a DC shift from the output impedance due to the load current change and the transient response. Increasing the output capacitor’s value and decreasing the ESR reduces the transient under/overshoot. Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage A regulator’s minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines the lowest useable input supply voltage. Once the linear regulator reaches dropout, the series pass transistor is fully on and regulation ceases. The output voltage tracks the input voltage as the input voltage drops lower. Because the MAX8890 uses P-channel MOSFET pass transistors, its dropout voltage is a function of the MOSFET’s drain-tosource on-resistance (RDS(ON)) multiplied by the load current (see Typical Operating Characteristics): VDROPOUT = VIN_ - VOUT_ = RDS(ON) ✕ IOUT_ Reference Bypass Capacitor An external bypass capacitor is connected to BP to reduce the inherent reference noise. The capacitor forms a lowpass filter in conjunction with an internal network. Use a 0.01µF or greater ceramic capacitor connected as close to BP as possible. Capacitance values greater than 0.01µF will increase the startup time. (See Typical Operating Characteristics for startup waveforms.) For the lowest noise, increase the bypass capacitor to 0.1µF. Values above 0.1µF provide no performance improvement and are therefore not recommended. Do not place any additional loading on this reference bypass pin. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX8890 When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = 160°C, a thermal sensor activates the shutdown logic, disabling the overheated regulator. The thermal sensor turns the linear regulator on again after the regulator’s junction temperature cools by 15°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal-overload conditions. For continuous operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = 150°C.
