Product details
Overview
MAX8805YEWEGG+T from Maxim Integrated is a 2MHz, 600mA high-frequency step-down converter with dual 200mA low-noise LDOs and integrated 60mΩ bypass FET, designed specifically to dynamically power WCDMA/NCDMA power amplifiers in mobile handsets. It supports analog DAC-controlled output voltage (0.4V–VBATT), achieves 7.5µs settling time for 0.8V→3.4V transitions, and operates from 2.7V–5.5V input.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8805YEWEGG+T datasheet, MAX8805YEWEGG+T pinout, MAX8805YEWEGG+T application, or MAX8805YEWEGG+T equivalent, key selection criteria include REFIN-to-PA gain (2V/V), bypass-mode on-resistance (60mΩ typ), LDO noise (35µVRMS typ), thermal shutdown (+160°C), and UCSP-16 package compatibility with 2mm × 2mm PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The MAX8805YEWEGG+T implements a hysteretic PWM control scheme enabling fast transient response and stable operation with minimal external components-only 2.2µF ceramic capacitors required on IN1A/IN1B and output. Its voltage-positioning feedback architecture removes phase lag by sampling LX directly, eliminating need for large output capacitance while maintaining tight load regulation.
Dual-mode operation integrates seamless transition between PWM step-down (for medium/low-power PA states) and forced/automatic bypass (for high-power transmission). Automatic bypass triggers at VREFIN > 0.465 × VIN2, using VIN2-not VIN1-to avoid switching noise false triggering, and HP logic input enables direct bypass activation independent of REFIN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz - enables use of compact 2.2µF ceramic input/output capacitors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| REFIN to PA Gain | 2V/V - linear DAC control allows precise, continuous PA output voltage adjustment from 0.4V to VBATT. |
| Bypass FET RDS(ON) | 60mΩ typical - minimizes dropout and conduction loss during high-current PA transmission bursts. |
| LDO Output Noise | 35µVRMS typical - ensures clean bias for sensitive RF power amplifier stages without added filtering. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - preserves battery life in standby mode for portable handset applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and multi-cell or boosted supply rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects device under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX8805YEWEGG+T is housed in a 16-bump, 2mm × 2mm × 0.7mm ultra-thin UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) with 4×4 bump grid, optimized for space-constrained mobile handset PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1: REFBP | Reference noise bypass | Internal bandgap reference decoupling node; requires 0.22µF ceramic cap to AGND for LDO noise reduction. |
| A2: AGND | Analog ground | Low-noise return path for internal reference, LDOs, and REFIN; must be isolated from PGND to prevent coupling. |
| A3: REFIN | DAC-controlled input | Analog voltage sets PA output (VPA_ = 2 × VREFIN); also triggers automatic bypass when >0.465 × VIN2. |
| A4: PGND | Power ground | High-current return for PA step-down switch node (LX) and bypass FET; separate from AGND to limit noise injection. |
| B1: LDO2 | LDO2 output | 200mA low-noise regulated output; requires local 1µF ceramic cap to AGND for stability and PSRR performance. |
| B2: PA_EN | PA converter enable | Active-high logic input; drives to GND disables entire step-down converter and places LX in high-Z state. |
| B3: EN2 | LDO2 enable | Independent logic control for LDO2; shutdown pulls output impedance to 1kΩ and disables regulator. |
| B4: LX | Switch node | Connection to external inductor; carries high di/dt PWM current; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| C1: IN2 | LDO/reference supply | 2.7–5.5V input for LDOs and internal reference; must tie to same source as IN1A/IN1B and bypass with 2.2µF cap. |
| C2: HP | Forced bypass control | Active-high logic input that directly activates bypass FET regardless of REFIN level or duty cycle. |
| C3/C4: IN1B/IN1A | PA converter input | Parallel-connected 2.7–5.5V inputs for main PA rail; internally joined; require shared 2.2µF ceramic bypass to PGND. |
| D1: LDO1 | LDO1 output | 200mA low-noise regulated output; identical bypass and layout requirements as LDO2. |
| D2: EN1 | LDO1 enable | Independent logic control for LDO1; functionally identical to EN2 but for LDO1. |
| D3/D4: PAB/PAA | PA output terminals | Output nodes connected to PA load; internally tied to IN1A/IN1B via bypass FET; require 2.2µF ceramic caps to PGND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic PA voltage control | Linear 0.4V–VBATT output range via analog REFIN input enables real-time WCDMA power backoff without digital interface overhead. |
| Ultrafast settling time | 7.5µs typical for 0.8V→3.4V transitions ensures rapid PA power-state changes compliant with WCDMA envelope tracking timing. |
| Dual independent LDOs | Two 200mA, 35µVRMS-noise LDOs with individual EN1/EN2 pins allow selective biasing of PA driver and pre-driver stages. |
| Hysteretic PWM architecture | Eliminates external compensation and enables stable operation with only 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors-no electrolytics needed. |
| Voltage-positioning feedback | Direct LX sensing compensates for inductor DCR drop, reducing load transient overshoot and improving accuracy across current range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PA power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8805WEREGG+T | 2.5V/V REFIN-to-PA gain, 2MHz switching, 650mA output drive | Higher gain enables lower REFIN DAC resolution for same VPA_ range; rated for 50mA higher output current | Select when system DAC has limited voltage range (e.g., 0–0.8V) or PA peak current exceeds 600mA. |
| MAX8805ZEREGG+T | 2V/V REFIN-to-PA gain, 4MHz switching, same 600mA rating | Higher frequency allows smaller inductors and further reduces solution size, but with ~2–3% lower peak efficiency at mid-load | Select when board space is constrained and inductor height <1.0mm is mandatory; verify thermal margin at 4MHz. |
Compared with MAX8805WEREGG+T and MAX8805ZEREGG+T, the MAX8805YEWEGG+T offers optimal balance of gain linearity (2V/V), efficiency (≥92% at 3.6V/300mA), and thermal performance in 2mm × 2mm UCSP-making it preferred for mainstream WCDMA handset designs targeting cost, size, and battery life.

FAQ
What is the REFIN-to-PA output voltage gain for MAX8805YEWEGG+T?
The MAX8805YEWEGG+T features a fixed 2V/V REFIN-to-PA output voltage gain. When a 0.9V analog voltage is applied to REFIN, the PA output (VPA_) regulates to approximately 1.8V-subject to voltage-positioning correction based on inductor DCR and load current. This gain is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "REFIN to PA_ Gain" for MAX8805Y/MAX8805Z variants.
Does MAX8805YEWEGG+T support automatic bypass mode, and what triggers it?
Yes, MAX8805YEWEGG+T supports automatic bypass mode triggered when VREFIN exceeds 0.465 × VIN2 (with 50mV hysteresis). This threshold uses VIN2-not VIN1-to avoid false triggering from switching noise. Once engaged, the internal 60mΩ bypass FET connects IN1A/IN1B directly to PAA/PAB, disabling PWM operation and enabling 100% duty-cycle conduction.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the PA step-down converter in MAX8805YEWEGG+T?
The MAX8805YEWEGG+T delivers up to 600mA continuous output current in PWM step-down mode. This rating is specified under "Peak Current Limit (p-Channel MOSFET)" as 0.7–1.1A and validated across temperature; actual usable current depends on thermal design, input voltage, and ambient conditions-but 600mA is the guaranteed minimum output under full specification.
Can both LDOs in MAX8805YEWEGG+T be disabled independently?
Yes, the MAX8805YEWEGG+T provides fully independent control of its dual LDOs: EN1 controls LDO1 and EN2 controls LDO2. Each input is active-high and logic-compatible with 2.7–5.5V supplies. When disabled, each LDO output presents 1kΩ shutdown impedance and is internally pulled down via a 1kΩ resistor-ensuring defined voltage states during sleep modes.
What package type and dimensions does MAX8805YEWEGG+T use?
MAX8805YEWEGG+T uses a 16-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) measuring 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.7mm maximum height, with a 4×4 bump grid. This package is lead-free/RoHS-compliant (denoted by '+' in the part number) and requires JEDEC J-STD-020A reflow profile-hand soldering is not permitted due to thermal limitations.
