MIC2224
High Efficiency 2MHz PWM Buck Converter with
DAC Input and 40mΩ Bypass Switch General Description Features The MIC2224 is a high efficiency 2MHz PWM synchronous
buck switching regulator optimized for powering 2.5G and
3G CDMA RF Power Amplifiers. The output voltage of
MIC2224 can be dynamically adjusted with an external
DAC to maximize PA efficiency versus required output
power. When the PA requires the highest power, the DAC
can be used to enable a low on-resistance, 40mΩ, bypass
switch that powers the PA directly from the battery.
The 2MHz PWM operation of MIC2224 allows the smallest
possible components. It also allows the device to easily
meet stringent W-CDMA VOUT response specifications.
The MIC2224 operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input, making
it ideal for single cell Li-Ion applications. The device
features built-in power MOSFETs that can supply up to
600mA of output current in PWM mode, or over 1A in
bypass mode. The MIC2224 can operate with a maximum
duty cycle of 100% for use in low-dropout conditions.
The MIC2224 has a junction temperature range of
–40°C to +125°C and is available in a 10-pin 3mm x 3mm
MLFВ® package.
