GSM Cellular/PCN Handset RF Power
Management IC
MAX1727
General Description
The MAX1727 is a radio frequency (RF) power-man-
agement IC intended for Global Satellite Mobile (GSM)
communication cellular and personal cellular network
(PCN) handsets using a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell bat-
tery with inputs from +3.1V to +5.5V. The IC contains
four low-noise, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators to
provide all the supply voltage requirements for the RF
portion of the handset, and two high-speed, wide-band-
width op amps for the power amplifier (PA) power con-
trol loop.
Each LDO has its own individual on/off control to maxi-
mize design flexibility. All LDOs are internally trimmed
to a fixed output voltage and are optimized for low
noise and high crosstalk isolation. LDO1 (R1OUT) is
rated for 100µA and is optimized for lowest quiescent
current. It is intended to power the transmitter, receiver,
and synthesizer. LDO2 (R2OUT) is rated for 50mA. It is
intended to power the TCXO, GSM, and PCN high-
power voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). LDO3
(R3OUT) is rated for 20mA and is optimized to sup-
press line transients. It is intended to power the UHF
offset VCO. LDO3 has an auxiliary 2.5Ω switched out-
put to allow the VCO to be powered up with precise
timing. LDO4 (R3BYP) is rated for 20mA. It is intended
to power this IC’s reference and LDO3 for superior line
rejection. LDO4 and the reference will be powered on if
any of the R1EN, R2EN, and R3EN enable inputs are
logic high.
The op amps have wide bandwidth, high DC accuracy,
high slew rate, and Rail-to-Rail
®
inputs and outputs.
The op amps can sink and source 3mA, and include
two 2.5Ω switched outputs. The op amps and switched
outputs may be used independently or may be config-
ured to provide optimized power for a PA control loop.

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.
