MB39C326
6MHz Synchronous Buck Boost DC/DC Converter
Description0
The Fujitsu MB39C326 6MHz Synchronous Buck Boost DC/DC
Converter is designed to power the radio frequency power am-
plifiers (RFPAs) in mobile handsets or other mobile devices that
use a single-cell Li-ion battery. The DC/DC converter switches at
a higher frequency (6MHz) than conventional converters on the
market. The higher switching frequency is more efficient and
permits the use of a smaller inductor, reducing the overall board
space of the power management circuits by as much as half.
The buck-boost functionality of the Fujitsu MB39C326 helps
prolong battery life and efficiency. By switching automatically
between a buck operation (stepping down the voltage) when
the battery is fully charged and a boost operation (stepping up
the voltage) as the battery is discharged, the MB39C326 maxi-
mizes the overall operating voltage from the lithium battery
while providing a stable power supply to the power amplifier.
The result is a more consistent voltage level and a device that
can operate for longer on a single charge.
The Fujitsu MB39C326 provides up to 800mA of output current
over an input voltage range of 2.5V to 4.8V. The device features
a built-in internal field-effect transistor (FET), over-temperature
protection, and an input-under-voltage lockout. The MB39C326
is available in a 20-pin, 0.4mm-ball-pitch, 2.15mm
x
1.94mm
WL-CSP (wafer-level chip size) package.

Advantages of the MB39C3260
6MHz switching frequency allows for a smaller
inductor and reduced board space
Compared to conventional DC/DC converters that have switch-
ing frequencies between 2 to 3MHz or lower, the Fujitsu 6MHz
Synchronous Buck Boost DC/DC Converter allows for a smaller
size inductor, reducing the overall surface area occupied by
the power supply by as much as half. This is critical for mobile
devices where space is at a premium.
High-efficiency power supply
The MB39C326 features a new, high-efficiency controller de-
signed using a low-gate charge-process technology that reduces
switching loss and power consumption. In combination with the
buck-boost function, the controller greatly enhances the overall
efficiency of the DC/DC converter.

Automatic buck-boost operations prolong Li-ion
battery life and efficiency
When a Li-ion battery is fully charged, it starts with a high
operating voltage. As the battery is discharged, its operating
voltage declines to the point where the battery can no longer
provide sufficient voltage to power its host device, even if some
charge remains. The Fujitsu MB39C326 6MHz Synchronous Buck
Boost DC/DC Converter can extend the usable life of a battery by
boosting (stepping up) the output voltage level to provide suf-
ficient power to continue operation. This extends battery life by
more efficiently using the remaining charge in the battery.
