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 60mΩtypical
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
(35µVRMS 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).

Detailed Description
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z are
designed to dynamically power the PA in WCDMA and
NCDMA handsets. The devices contain a high-frequency,
high-efficiency step-down converter, and two LDOs.
The MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z step-down converters deliver
over 600mA, while the MAX8805W/MAX8805X deliver
over 650mA. The hysteretic PWM control scheme pro-
vides extremely fast transient response, while 2MHz and
4MHz switching-frequency options allow the trade-off
between efficiency and the smallest external compo-
nents. A 60mΩbypass FET connects the PA directly to
the battery during high-power transmission.
Step-Down Converter Control Scheme
A hysteretic PWM control scheme ensures high effi-
ciency, fast switching, fast transient response, low-out-
put ripple, and physically tiny external components.
The control scheme is simple: when the output voltage
is below the regulation threshold, the error comparator
begins a switching cycle by turning on the high-side
switch. This high-side switch remains on until the mini-
mum on-time expires and the output voltage is within
regulation, or the inductor current is above the current-
limit threshold. Once off, the high-side switch remains
off until the minimum off-time expires and the output
voltage falls again below the regulation threshold.
During the off period, the low-side synchronous rectifier
turns on and remains on until the high-side switch turns
on again. The internal synchronous rectifier eliminates
the need for an external Schottky diode.
Voltage-Positioning Load Regulation
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z step-
down converters utilize a unique feedback network. By
taking DC feedback from the LX node through R1 in
Figure 1, the usual phase lag due to the output capacitor
is removed, making the loop exceedingly stable and
allowing the use of very small ceramic output capacitors.
To improve the load regulation, resistor R3 is included in
the feedback. This configuration yields load regulation
equal to half of the inductor’s series resistance multiplied
by the load current. This voltage-positioning load regula-
tion greatly reduces overshoot during load transients or
when changing the output voltage from one level to anoth-
er. However, when calculating the required REFIN volt-
age, the load regulation should be considered. Because
inductor resistance is typically well specified and the
typical PA is a resistive load, the MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z
VREFIN to VOUT gain is slightly less than 2V/V, and the
MAX8805W/MAX8805X VREFIN to VOUT gain is slightly
less than 2.5V/V. The output voltage is aproximately:
VOUT = (REFIN to PA_Gain) x VREFIN - 1/2 x LESR x ILOAD
Step-Down Converter Bypass Mode
During high-power transmission, the bypass mode con-
nects IN1A and IN1B directly to PAA and PAB with the
internal 60mΩ(typ) bypass FET, while the step-down
converter is forced into 100% duty-cycle operation. The
low on-resistance in this mode provides low dropout,
long battery life, and high output current capability.
Forced and Automatic Bypass Mode
Invoke forced bypass mode by driving HP high or
invoke automatic bypass mode by applying a high volt-
age to REFIN. To prevent excessive output ripple as
the step-down converter approaches dropout, the
MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z enter bypass mode automatical-
ly when VREFIN > 0.465 x VIN2 (see Figure 2) and
MAX8805W/MAX8805X enter bypass mode automati-
cally when VREFIN > 0.372 x VIN2. Note that IN2 is used
instead of IN1 to prevent switching noise from causing
false enagement of automatic bypass mode. For this
reason, IN2 must be connected to the same source
as IN1.
Shutdown Mode
Connect PA_EN to GND or logic-low to place the
MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z PA
step-down converter in shutdown mode. In shutdown,
the control circuitry, internal switching MOSFET, and
synchronous rectifier turn off and LX becomes high
impedance. Connect PA_EN to IN1_ or logic-high for
normal operation.
Connect EN1 or EN2 to GND or logic-low to place
LDO1 or LDO2, respectively, in shutdown mode. In

shutdown, the outputs of the LDOs are pulled to ground
through an internal 1kΩresistor.
When the PA step-down and LDOs are all in shutdown,
the MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z
enter a very low power state, where the input current
drops to 0.1µA (typ).
Step-Down Converter Soft-Start
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z PA
step-down converter has internal soft-start circuitry that
limits inrush current at startup, reducing transients on the
input source. Soft-start is particularly useful for supplies
with high output impedance such as Li+ and alkaline
cells. See the PA Step-Down Soft-Start Waveforms
(MAX8805X/MAX8805Z) and PA Step-Down Soft-Start
Waveforms (MAX8805W/MAX8805Y) in the
Typical
Operating Characteristics.
Analog REFIN Control
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z PA
step-down converter uses REFIN to set the output volt-
age. This allows the converter to operate in applications
where dynamic voltage control is required.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation in the
MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z. If the
junction temperature exceeds +160°C, thermal-shut-
down circuitry turns off the IC, allowing it to cool. The IC
turns on and begins soft-start after the junction temper-
ature cools by 20°C. This results in a pulsed output dur-
ing continuous thermal-overload conditions.
Applications Information
Output Voltages
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z PA
step-down converters set the PA_ output voltage based
on the voltage applied to REFIN.
LDO1 and LDO2 output voltages are determined by the
part number suffix, as shown in Table 1.
LDO Dropout Voltage
The regulator’s minimum input/output differential (or
dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply
voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines
the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the
MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z LDOs use
a p-channel MOSFET pass transistor, their dropout volt-
ages are a function of drain-to-source on-resistance
(RDS(ON)) multiplied by the load current (see the
Typical
Operating Characteristics
).
Inductor Selection
The MAX8805W/MAX8805Y operate with a switching
frequency of 2MHz and utilize a 2.2µH inductor. The
MAX8805X/MAX8805Z operate with a switching fre-
quency of 4MHz and utilize a 1µH inductor. The higher
switching frequency of the MAX8805X/MAX8805Z allow
the use of physically smaller inductors at the cost of
slightly lower efficiency. The lower switching frequency
of the MAX8805W/MAX8805Y results in greater efficien-
cy at the cost of a physically larger inductor. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics
for efficiency graphs
for both the MAX8805W/MAX8805Y and MAX8805X/
MAX8805Z.
The inductor’s DC current rating only needs to match the
maximum load of the application because the
MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z feature
zero current overshoot during startup and load tran-
sients. For optimum transient response and high efficien-
cy, choose an inductor with DC series resistance in the
50mΩto 150mΩrange. See Table 2 for suggested
inductors and manufacturers.
Output Capacitor Selection
For the PA step-down converter, the output capacitor
(CPA) is required to keep the output voltage ripple small
and ensure regulation loop stability. CPA must have low
impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic capaci-
tors with X5R or X7R dielectric are highly recommended

due to their small size, low ESR, and small temperature
coefficients. Due to the unique feedback network, the
output capacitance can be very low. A 2.2µF capacitor
is recommended for most applications. For optimum
load-transient performance and very low output ripple,
the output capacitor value can be increased.
For LDO1 and LDO2, the minimum output capacitance
required is dependent on the load currents. For loads
less than 10mA, it is sufficient to use a 0.1µF capacitor
for stable operation over the full temperature range.
With rated maximum load currents, a minimum of 1µF is
recommended. Reduce output noise and improve load-
transient response, stability, and power-supply rejec-
tion by using larger output capacitors.
Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capaci-
tance and ESR variation with temperature. With dielectrics
such as Z5U and Y5V, it is necessary to use 2.2µF or larg-
er to ensure stability at temperatures below -10°C. With
X7R or X5R dielectrics, 1µF is sufficient at all operating
temperatures. These regulators are optimized for ceramic
capacitors. Tantalum capacitors are not recommended.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor (CIN1) of the PA converter reduces
the current peaks drawn from the battery or input
power source and reduces switching noise in the

MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z. The
impedance of CIN1 at the switching frequency should
be kept very low. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R
dielectric are highly recommended due to their small
size, low ESR, and small temperature coefficients. A
2.2µF capacitor is recommended for most applications.
For optimum noise immunity and low input ripple, the
input capacitor value can be increased.
For the LDOs, use an input capacitance equal to the
value of the sum of the output capacitance of LDO1 and
LDO2. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR pro-
vide better noise rejection and line transient response.
Note that some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capaci-
tance and ESR variation with temperature. With
dielectrics such as Z5U and Y5V, it may be necessary to
use two times the sum of the output capacitor values of
LDO1 and LDO2 (or larger) to ensure stability at temper-
atures below -10°C. With X7R or X5R dielectrics, a
capacitance equal to the sum is sufficient at all operating
temperatures.
Thermal Considerations
In most applications, the MAX8805W/MAX8805X/
MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z do not dissipate much heat due
to their high efficiency. However, in applications where
the MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z run
at high ambient temperature with heavy loads, the heat
dissipated may exceed the maximum junction tempera-
ture of the IC. If the junction temperature reaches
approximately +160°C, all power switches are turned
off and LX and PA_ become high impedance, and
LDO1 and LDO2 are pulled down to ground through an
internal 1kΩpulldown resistor.
The MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z
maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal
resistance of the IC package and circuit board, the
temperature difference between the die junction and
ambient air, and the rate of airflow. The power dissipat-
ed in the device is:
PDISS = PPA x (1/ηPA - 1) + ILDO1 x (VIN2 - VLDO1) +
ILDO2 x (VIN2 - VLDO2)
where ηPA is the efficiency of the PA step-down con-
verter and PPA is the output power of the PA step-down
converter.
The maximum allowed power dissipation is:
PMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA
where (TJMAX - TA) is the temperature difference
between the MAX8805W/MAX8805X/MAX8805Y/
MAX8805Z die junction and the surrounding air; θJA is
the thermal resistance of the junction through the PCB,
copper traces, and other materials to the surrounding air.
PCB Layout
High switching frequencies and relatively large peak
currents make the PCB layout a very important part of
design. Good design minimizes excessive EMI on the
feedback paths and voltage gradients in the ground
plane, resulting in a stable and well-regulated output.
Connect CIN1 close to IN1A/IN1B and PGND. Connect
the inductor and output capacitor as close as possible
to the IC and keep their traces short, direct, and wide.
Keep noisy traces, such as the LX node, as short as
possible. Figure 3 illustrates an example PCB layout
and routing scheme.
