MAX1958/MAX1959
The MAX1958/MAX1959 power amplifier (PA) power-
management ICs (PMICs) integrate an 800mA, dynami-
cally adjustable step-down converter, a 5mA Rail-to-
Rail
®
operational amplifier (op amp), and a precision
temperature sensor to power a heterojunction bipolar
transistor (HBT) PA in W-CDMA and N-CDMA cell
phones.
The high-efficiency, pulse-width modulated (PWM), DC-
to-DC buck converter is optimized to provide a guaran-
teed output current of 800mA. The output voltage is
dynamically controlled to produce any fixed-output volt-
age in the range of 0.75V to 3.4V (MAX1958) or 1V to
3.6V (MAX1959), with settling time less than 30µs for a
full-scale change in voltage and current. The 1MHz PWM
switching frequency allows the use of small external
components while pulse-skip mode reduces quiescent
current to 190µA with light loads. The converter utilizes a
low on-resistance internal MOSFET switch and synchro-
nous rectifier to maximize efficiency and minimize
external component count. The 100% duty-cycle opera-
tion allows for an IC dropout voltage of only 130mV (typ)
at 600mA load.
The micropower op amp is used to provide bias to the
HBT PA to maximize efficiency. The amplifier features
active discharge in shutdown for full PA bias control. It
has 5mA rail-to-rail drive capability, 800kHz gain-band-
width product, and 120dB open-loop voltage gain.
The precision temperature sensor measures tempera-
tures between -40°C to +125°C, with linear tempera-
ture-to-voltage analog output characteristics.
The MAX1958/MAX1959 are available in a 20-pin 5mm
✕
5mm thin QFN package (0.8mm max height).

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and INP. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the IC’s package power dissipation limits.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
