NCP6360
Mini Buck Converter for
RF Power Amplifiers
The NCP6360, a PWM synchronous step−down DC−to−DC
converter, is optimized for supplying RF Power Amplifiers (PAs) used
into 3G/4G wireless systems (Mobile/ Smart Phones, Phablets,
Tablets, ...) powered by single−cell Lithium−Ion batteries. The device
is able to deliver up to 800 mA. The output voltage is monitorable
from 0.6 V to 3.4 V by an analog control pin VCON. The analog
control allows dynamically optimizing the RF Power Amplifier’s
efficiency during a communication while for example in roaming
situation with as a benefit an increased talk time. Also at light load for
optimizing the DC−to−DC converter efficiency, the NCP6360 enters
automatically in a PFM mode and operates in a slower switching
frequency corresponding to a reduced quiescent current in regards to
the PWM mode for which the device operates at a switching frequency
of 6 MHz. Synchronous rectification offers improved system
efficiency. The NCP6360 is available in a space saving, low profile
1.5 x 1.0 mm CSP−6 package.
