600mA/650mA PWM Step-Down Converters in
2mm x 2mm WLP for WCDMA PA Power
General Description
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z
high-frequency step-down converters are optimized for
dynamically powering the power amplifier (PA) in
WCDMA or NCDMA handsets. The devices integrate a
high-efficiency PWM step-down converter for medium-
and low-power transmission, and a 60mΩ typical
bypass FET to power the PA directly from the battery
during high-power transmission. Dual 200mA low-noise,
high-PSRR low-dropout regulators (LDOs) for PA bias-
ing are also integrated.
Two switching frequency options are available (2MHz for
the MAX8805W/MAX8805Y and 4MHz for the MAX8805X/
MAX8805Z), allowing optimization for smallest solution
size or highest efficiency. Fast switching allows the use of
small ceramic 2.2µF input and output capacitors while
maintaining low ripple voltage. The feedback network is
integrated, further reducing external component count
and total solution size.
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z use
an analog input driven by an external DAC to control
the output voltage linearly for continuous PA power
adjustment. The REFIN to OUT gain is available in two
options (2V/V for the MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z and 2.5V/V
for the MAX8805W/MAX8805X). At high-duty cycle, the
MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z auto-
matically switch to the bypass mode, connecting the
input to the output through a low-impedance (60mΩ
typ) MOSFET. The user can also enable the bypass
mode directly through a logic-control input.
The LDOs in the MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/
MAX8805Z are designed for low-noise operation
(35µV
RMS
typ). Each LDO is individually enabled
through its own logic control interface.
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z are
available in 16-bump, 2mm x 2mm WLP and UCSP
™
packages (0.7mm max height).

Note:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recom-
mended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
