New 4G phones have higher data upload requirements, such as real-time, on-and-off use of applications, which require higher RF power amplifier output levels to support LTE operation, even at lower battery voltages. The LM3269 saves energy and extends battery run-time by dynamically adjusting the power delivered to power amplifiers based on how much power is needed. The converter allows the amplifier to operate across the full battery voltage range to meet these requirements with the highest efficiency and lowest noise possible.
Key features and benefits of LM3269:
-Meets power requirements of 3G and 4G LTE amplifiers: Supports full spectrum of RF output power, even at lower battery voltages.
-Extends battery run-time: Up to 95-percent power efficiency (input of 3.7 V and output of 3.3 V at 300 mA); cuts battery current consumption in half; and reduces heat dissipation by 30 degrees C.
-Smallest solution: The 2.4-MHz converter comes in a tiny microSMD package with 0.6- mm height and 18.8-mm2 total solution size.
