MAX8890
Integrated Cellular RF-Section Power-Management IC
General Description
The MAX8890 is a power-management IC intended for cellular handsets using a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell battery with input
voltages from +2.
5V to +5.
5V.
The IC contains three identical, low-noise, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators to provide all of the supply
voltage requirements for the RF portion of the handset.
The first LDO is intended to power the transmitter, receiver, and synthesizer.
The second LDO is intended to power the TCXO, and high-power
voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs).
The third LDO is intended to power the UHF offset VCO.
Each LDO has its own individual enable (ON...
