3G/4G HEDGE/LTE PMIC with Six Buck Converters, Eleven LDOs and SIM Card Level Translation

The MIC2829 is a highly integrated Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) designed for 3G/4G (HEDGE/LTE and WiMAX) USB wireless applications. It is a complete power management solution which provides power to processors, dual standard RF (such as HEDGE/LTE or WiMAX) transceivers and power amplifiers, memory, USB-PHY associated I/O interfaces and other system requirements.

The MIC2829 incorporates six DC/DC buck converters, eleven LDOs and digital level shifters for SIM Card support inside a single package. Four of the six integrated DC/DC buck converters incorporate HyperLight Load TM (HLL) technology. Each of these buck regulators operate at high switching speed in PWM mode (4MHz/2.5MHz) and maintain high efficiency in light load conditions. The high speed PWM operation allows the use of very small inductors and capacitors minimizing board area while the HLL mode enables 87% efficiency at 1mA. HyperLight Load TM technology also has unmatched load transient response to support advance portable processor requirements.

The remaining two DC/DC buck converters support 100% duty cycle operation and can deliver greater than 96% efficiency. This allows pre-regulation of system LDOs for high efficiency power system partitioning.

The MIC2829 has eleven low dropout regulators (LDOs). Five general purpose LDOs provide low dropout, excellent output accuracy of ±3% and only require 40 µA of ground current for each to operate. The remaining six are high performance Low Noise Regulators (LNRs) provide high PSRR and low output noise for sensitive RF subsystems. Each LNR requires only 20 µA of ground current to operate. The MIC2829 also has three high speed level shifters for digital SIM Card signal translation and a 50mA SIM power supply.

The MIC2829 is available in a 76-pin 5.5mm x 5.5mm LGA package with an operating junction temperature range from –40℃ to +125℃.
