Step-Up DC-DC Converters with Precise, Adaptive Current Limit for GSM
neral DescriptionThe MAX1687/MAX1688 step-up DC-DC converters deliv-
er up to 2W from a single Li-Ion or three NiMH cells. The
devices are ideal for burst-load applications such as GSM
cell phones and wireless LANs, where the RF power
amplifiers require short, high current bursts. The
MAX1687/MAX1688 reduce battery surge current by slow-
ly charging a reservoir capacitor, which supplies the nec-
essary peak energy for the load current burst. As a result,
the peak battery current is limited, thus maximizing battery
life and minimizing battery voltage sag and transient dips.
An internal synchronous rectifier provides over 90% con-
version efficiency and eliminates the need for an external
Schottky diode. A logic shutdown mode reduces the shut-
down current to only 3μA. The devices can be disabled
during current bursts (RF transmit mode) to eliminate
switching noise.
The switching frequency of the MAX1687/MAX1688, con-
trolled by the selected inductor, can exceed 1MHz. Two
external resistors set the output voltage from 1.25V to 6V.
The MAX1687 controls peak battery current, while the
MAX1688 features a more advanced, adaptive constant-
recharge-time algorithm that maximizes battery life. The
MAX1687/MAX1688 are available in thin 16-pin TSSOP
(1.1mm max height) or standard 8-pin SO packages.

Detailed DescriptionThe MAX1687 and MAX1688 ICs supply power ampli-
fiers inGSM applications where limited input current
surge is desirable. For example, GSM systems require
high-power, 12% duty-cycle RF bursts. Synchronizing
the MAX1687/MAX1688 to enter standby mode during
these RF bursts eliminates battery surge current and
minimizes switching noise to the power amplifier. In
standby mode, the charged output reservoir capacitor
delivers power to the power amplifier. Between each
burst, the DC-DC converter switches on to charge the
output capacitor. To improve efficiency and reduce peak
battery current, the MAX1687/MAX1688 provide a volt-
age-controlled current limit. The MAX1688 is a MAX1687
with added self-regulating circuitry that recharges the
reservoir capacitor in a fixed time (Figure 1).
Start-Up SequenceIn a conventional DC-DC converter, when high current
is required by the load, the battery voltage droops due
to battery series resistance. This may cause other cir-
cuitry that depends on the battery to malfunction or be
reset. The MAX1687/MAX1688 prevent battery voltage
droop by charging the reservoir capacitor during sys-
tem off-time and isolate the battery from the output dur-
ing high current demand. The MAX1687/MAX1688 are
gentle to the battery during initial power-up, as well.
