MIC2808
RF PA Power Management IC
2MHz, 600mA DC/DC w/DAC Input and
Bypass Switch, Dual Low Noise
200mA/30mA LDO Regulators
General Description
The MIC2808 integrates a high performance 600mA
DC/DC step down regulator intended for powering a power
amplifier (PA) in a mobile phone with dual low noise low
dropout (LDO) regulators for the rest of the RF section.
Optimized for low noise performance, the MIC2808
improves efficiency in the handset without compromising
quality.
The MIC2808 has a 2MHz, constant frequency pulse width
modulated (PWM) DC/DC regulator designed for low noise
operation and high efficiency. The output voltage (V_OUT) is
variable from 0.3V to the input voltage (V_IN), adjustable
from 0.3V to 3.6V through a DAC input when V_IN > V_OUT.
The regulator will work in a 100% duty cycle mode to offer
maximum power and efficiency in the application. In
addition to 100% duty cycle, the DC/DC regulator has a
bypass mode of operation where the input voltage node
(PVIN pin) is shorted to the output voltage node (OUT pin)
through a 95mΩ switch.
The integrated dual low noise low dropout regulators are
optimized for high PSRR capability and fast turn-on times.
The constant frequency DC/DC regulator along with dual
low noise LDO regulators enables a very quiet and
efficient solution for mobile applications.
The MIC2808 is a µCap design, operating with small
ceramic output capacitors and inductors for stability,
reducing required board space and component cost and it
is available in the tiny 2.0mm x 2.5mm TMLF^® package.
