  • Description

    The LM3207 is a DC-DC converter optimized for powering WCDMA / CDMA RF power amplifiers (PAs) from a single Lithium-Ion cell; however they may be used in many other applications. It steps down an input voltage from 2.7V to 5.5V to a variable output voltage from 0.8V(typ.) to 3.6V(typ.). Output voltage is set using a VCON analog input for controlling power levels and efficiency of the RF PA.

    The LM3207 also provides a regulated reference voltage(Vref) required by linear RF power amplifiers through an integrated LDO that has a maximum Iref up to 10 mA. See Ordering Information table on page 2 for Voltage Options.

    The LM3207 is available in a 9-pin lead free micro SMD package. High switching frequency (2MHz) allows use of surface-mount components. Only four small external surface-mount components are required, an inductor and three ceramic capacitors.

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
