Description
Sc250 Step-down Dc-dc Converter With Bias Ldo For Rf Power Amplifiers

Datasheet
August 28, 2006
The SC250 is a synchronous step-down converter
designed specifi cally for use as an adaptive voltage
supply for CDMA and WCDMA RF Power Amplifi ers (PAs).
The output voltage can be adjusted dynamically between
0.3V and (Vin - 0.4)V through a linear analog control input.
For high power operation, a maximum control input signal
level forces the device into bypass mode where the input
is connected directly to the output via an internal P-
Channel pass transistor. Bypass mode also occurs when
the output load demands duty cycles in excess of the
maximum rated duty cycle.
The SC250 also provides an LDO regulator which can be
used to supply a 2.85V bias to the PA. The internal clock
runs at 1MHz to maximize effi ciency while still allowing
the use of small surface mount inductors and capacitors
can be used.
The peak current rating of the internal PMOS switch allows
a DC output current of 600mA. The bypass PMOS current
rating allows a minimum of 1A DC output current in the
bypass mode. Shutdown turns off all the control circuitry
to achieve a typical shutdown current of 0.1μA.
