THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADP3404 is a power management chip optimized for use

with GSM baseband chipsets in handset applications. Figure 1

shows a block diagram of the ADP3404.

The ADP3404 contains several blocks:

• Four Low Dropout Regulators (Digital, Analog, Crystal

Oscillator, Real-Time Clock)

• Reset Generator

• Buffered Precision Reference

• SIM Interface Logic Level Translation (3 V/5 V)

• SIM Voltage Supply

• Power On/Off Logic

• Undervoltage Lockout

These functions have traditionally been done either as a discrete

implementation or as a custom ASIC design. ADP3404 combines

the benefits of both worlds by providing an integrated standard

product solution where every block is optimized to operate in a

GSM environment while maintaining a cost competitive solution.

Figure 2 shows the external circuitry associated with the ADP3404.

Only a few support components, mainly decoupling capacitors,

are required.

Input Voltage

The input voltage range for ADP3404 is 3 V to 7 V and optimized

for a single Li-Ion cell or three NiMH/NiCd cells. The thermal

impedance (

θ

The charging voltage for a high capacity NiMH cell can be as high as

5.5 V. Power dissipation should be calculated at maximum ambient

temperatures and battery voltage in order not to exceed the 125

maximum allowable junction temperature. Figure 3 shows the maxi-

mum total LDO output current as a function of ambient temperature

and battery voltage.

However, high battery voltages normally occur only when the

battery is being charged and the handset is not in conversation

mode. In this mode there is a relatively light load on the LDOs.

A fully charged Li-Ion battery is 4.25 V, where the LDOs deliver

the maximum 240 mA up to the max 85
