Integrated Cellular RF-Section
Power-Management IC
General Description
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) con-
trol to maximize design flexibility. The reference is pow-
ered 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 sup-
plying 100mA with a low 50mV dropout and is opti-
mized for low noise and high crosstalk-isolation.
Designed with internal P-channel MOSFET pass transis-
tors, the MAX8890’s low 180µA operating supply cur-
rent is independent of load.
Other features include short-circuit and thermal-over-
load protection. The MAX8890 is available in a com-
pact, high-power, 12-pin 4mm ✕ 4mm QFN package
with a metal pad on the underside.

*Each preset output voltage of these devices is factory
trimmed to one of ten voltages. Replace “xyz” with the letters
corresponding to the desired output voltages (see Standard
Preset Output Voltage Suffixes table), where the three letter
suffix corresponds to the following output voltages: “x” =
V_OUT1, “y” = V_OUT2, and “z” = V_OUT3.
Note: There are five standard versions available (see Standard
Versions table). Sample stock is generally held on standard
versions only. Standard versions have an order increment
requirement of 2500 pieces. Nonstandard versions have an
order increment requirement of 10,000 pieces. Contact the
factory for availability of nonstandard versions.
