FAN5903UCX

FAN5903 is a high-efficiency, low-noise, synchronous, step-down, DC-DC converter designed for powering 3G/3.5G/4G RF Power Amplifiers (PAs) in handsets and other mobile applications.
The output voltage may be dynamically varied from 0.40 V to 3.50 V, proportional to an analog input VCON, ranging from 0.16 V to 1.40 V provided by an external DAC. This allows the PA to be supplied with the voltage that enables maximum power-added efficiency.
An integrated bypass FET automatically switches on when battery voltage drops close to the desired output voltage (V_OUT=V_BAT-200 mV). The DC-DC switches back to Synchronous Mode when the voltage dropout exceeds 375 mV. The integrated bypass FET is also enabled when V_CON is nominally greater than to 1.5V.
The FAN5903 offers fast transition times, enabling changes to the output voltage in less than 10µs for power transitions. Moreover, a Current-Mode control loop with fast transient response ensures excellent line and load regulation.
Light-load efficiency is optimized by operating in PFM Mode for load currents typically less than 100mA.
The switching frequency may be set to 3 MHz or 6 MHz, enabling further optimization of system performance. The FAN5903 typically uses a single, small-form-factor inductor of 540nH. Efficiency may be further optimized using a 1.0 µH inductor when running at 3 MHz.
When output regulation is not required, the FAN5903 may be placed in Sleep Mode by setting V_CON nominally to 50 mV. This ensures a very low I_Q (< 70 µA) while enabling a fast return to output regulation. The FAN5903 enables significant current reduction and increased talk time and is available in a 1.34 mm x 1.29 mm, 9-bump, 0.40 mm-pitch, WLCSP package.
