器、适用于 RF 功率放大器  
1 特性  
3 说明  
1
由单节锂离子电池提供 2.7V 5.5V 的输入工作电  
LM3242 是一款 DC-DC 转换器,针对由单节锂离子电  
池供电的 RF 功率放大器 (PA) 进行了优化。此外,该  
器件也可用于其他应用。 该器件可将 2.7V 5.5V 范  
围内的输入电压降至介于 0.4V 3.6V 之间的可调节  
输出电压。输出电压可通过控制 RF PA 功率级和效率  
VCON 模拟输入进行设置。  
6MHz(典型值)脉宽调制 (PWM) 开关频率  
0.4V 3.6V 可调输出电压  
750mA 最大负载性能  
(旁路模式下可达 1A)  
高效率(3.9 VIN,  
3.3 VOUT500mA 时的典型效率为 95%)  
LM3242 具有 5 种工作模式。 在 PWM 模式下,该器  
件以  
自动 ECO/PWM/BP 模式切换  
电流过载保护  
6MHz(典型值)固定频率运行,因此可在驱动中等到  
重负载时最大限度地抑制 RF 干扰。 轻负载时,器件  
自动进入 ECO 模式并以减少的开关频率运行。 在  
ECO 模式下,静态电流被减少并延长了电池使用寿  
命。 该器件在关断模式下处于关闭状态,电池流耗降  
0.1µA(典型值)。 在低电量旁路模式下,压降降  
50mV(典型值)以下。 此部件还特有一个睡眠模  
式。

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings  
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended  
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.  
(2) Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typical) and  
disengages at TJ = 125°C (typical).

(1) All 0.4-V VOUT specifications are at steady-state only.  
(2) Shutdown current includes leakage current of PFET.  
(3) IQ specified here is when the part is not switching under test mode conditions. For operating quiescent current at no load, refer to  
Typical Characteristics.  
(4) Current limit is built-in, fixed, and not adjustable.  
(5) Care must be taken to keep the VCON pin voltage less than the VIN pin voltage as this can place the part into a manufacturing test  
mode.  
(6) Entering Bypass mode VIN is compared to the programmed output voltage (2.5 × VCON). When VIN (2.5 × VCON) falls below VBP,NEG  
longer than TBP,NEG, the Bypass FET turns on, and the switching FET turns on.  
(7) Bypass mode is exited when VIN (2.5 × VCON) exceeds VBP,POS longer than TBP,POS, and PWM mode resumes. The hysteresis for  
the bypass detection threshold VBP,POS – VBP,NEG is always positive and will be approximately 50 mV.

7 Detailed Description  
7.1 Overview  
The LM3242 is a simple, step-down DC-DC converter optimized for powering RF power amplifiers (PAs) in  
mobile phones, portable communicators, and similar battery-powered RF devices. It is designed to allow the RF  
PA to operate at maximum efficiency over a wide range of power levels from a single Li-Ion battery cell. It is  
based on a voltage-mode buck architecture, with synchronous rectification for high efficiency. The device is  
designed for a maximum load capability of 750 mA in PWM mode. Maximum load range may vary from this  
depending on input voltage, output voltage, and the inductor chosen.  
There are five modes of operation depending on the current required: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), ECO  
(ECOnomy), BP (Bypass), Sleep, and Shutdown. (See Table 1.) The LM3242 operates in PWM mode at higher  
load current conditions. Lighter loads cause the device to automatically switch into ECO mode. Shutdown mode  
turns the device off and reduces battery consumption to 0.1 µA (typical).  
DC PWM mode output voltage precision is ±2% for 3.6 VOUT. Efficiency is typically around 95% (typical) for a  
500-mA load with 3.3-V output, 3.9-V input. The output voltage is dynamically programmable from 0.4 V to 3.6 V  
by adjusting the voltage on the control pin (VCON) without the need for external feedback resistors. This ensures  
longer battery life by being able to change the PA supply voltage dynamically depending on its transmitting  
power.  
Additional features include current overload protection and thermal overload shutdown.  
The LM3242 is constructed using a chip-scale 9-bump DSBGA package. This package offers the smallest  
possible size, for space-critical applications such as cell phones, where board area is an important design  
consideration. Use of a high switching frequency (6 MHz, typical) reduces the size of external components. As  
shown in the Typical Application Circuit, only three external power components are required for implementation.  
Use of a DSBGA package requires special design considerations for implementation. (See DSBGA Package  
Assembly and Use.) Its fine bump-pitch requires careful board design and precision assembly equipment. Use of  
this package is best suited for opaque-case applications, where its edges are not subject to high-intensity  
ambient red or infrared light. Also, the system controller must set EN low during power-up and other low supply  
voltage conditions. (See Shutdown Mode.)

7.3 Feature Description  
7.3.1 Circuit Operation  
Referring to the 典型应用 and Functional Block Diagram, the LM3242 operates as follows. During the first part of  
each switching cycle, the control block in the LM3242 turns on the internal top-side PFET switch. This allows  
current to flow from the input through the inductor to the output filter capacitor and load. The inductor limits the  
current to a ramp with a slope of around (VINVOUT) / L, by storing energy in a magnetic field. During the second  
part of each cycle, the controller turns the PFET switch off, blocking current flow from the input, and then turns  
the bottom-side NFET synchronous rectifier on. In response, the inductor’s magnetic field collapses, generating a  
voltage that forces current from ground through the synchronous rectifier to the output filter capacitor and load.  
As the stored energy is transferred back into the circuit and depleted, the inductor current ramps down with a  
slope around VOUT / L. The output filter capacitor stores charge when the inductor current is high, and releases it  
when low, smoothing the voltage across the load.  
The output voltage is regulated by modulating the PFET switch on time to control the average current sent to the  
load. The effect is identical to sending a duty-cycle modulated rectangular wave formed by the switch and  
synchronous rectifier at SW to a low-pass filter formed by the inductor and output filter capacitor. The output  
voltage is equal to the average voltage at the SW pin.

Feature Description (continued)  
7.3.2 Internal Synchronous Rectification  
While in PWM mode, the LM3242 uses an internal NFET as a synchronous rectifier to reduce rectifier forward  
voltage drop and associated power loss. Synchronous rectification provides a significant improvement in  
efficiency whenever the output voltage is relatively low compared to the voltage drop across an ordinary rectifier  
diode.  
With medium and heavy loads, the NFET synchronous rectifier is turned on during the inductor current down  
slope in the second part of each cycle. The synchronous rectifier is turned off prior to the next cycle. The NFET  
is designed to conduct through its intrinsic body diode during transient intervals before it turns on, eliminating the  
need for an external diode.  
7.3.3 Current Limiting  
The current limit feature allows the LM3242 to protect itself and external components during overload conditions.  
In PWM mode, the cycle-by-cycle current limit is a 1450 mA (typical). If an excessive load pulls the output  
voltage down to less than 0.3V (typical), the NFET synchronous rectifier is disabled and the current limit is  
reduced to 530 mA (typical). Moreover, when the output voltage becomes less than 0.15V (typical), the switching  
frequency decreases to 3 MHz, thereby preventing excess current and thermal stress.  
7.3.4 Dynamically Adjustable Output Voltage  
The LM3242 features dynamically adjustable output voltage to eliminate the need for external feedback resistors.  
The output can be set from 0.4 V to 3.6 V by changing the voltage on the analog VCON pin. This feature is  
useful in PA applications where peak power is needed only when the handset is far away from the base station  
or when data is being transmitted. In other instances the transmitting power can be reduced. Hence the supply  
voltage to the PA can be reduced, promoting longer battery life. See Setting The Output Voltage in Application  
and Implementation for further details. The LM3242 moves into pulse-skipping mode when duty cycle is over  
approximately 92% or less than approximately 15% and the output voltage ripple increases slightly.  
7.3.5 Thermal Overload Protection  
The LM3242 has a thermal overload protection function that operates to protect itself from short-term misuse and  
overload conditions. When the junction temperature exceeds around 150°C, the device inhibits operation. Both  
the PFET and the NFET are turned off. When the temperature drops below 125°C, normal operation resumes.  
Prolonged operation in thermal overload conditions may damage the device and is considered bad practice.  
7.3.6 Soft Start  
The LM3242 has a soft-start circuit that limits in-rush current during start-up. During start-up the switch current  
limit is increased in steps. Soft start is activated if EN goes from low to high after VIN reaches 2.7V.

www.ti.com.cn  
7.4.1 PWM Mode Operation  
While in PWM mode operation, the converter operates as a voltage-mode controller with input voltage  
feedforward. This allows the converter to achieve excellent load and line regulation. The DC gain of the power  
stage is proportional to the input voltage. To eliminate this dependence, feed forward inversely proportional to the  
input voltage is introduced. While in PWM mode, the output voltage is regulated by switching at a constant  
frequency and then modulating the energy per cycle to control power to the load. At the beginning of each clock  
cycle the PFET switch is turned on and the inductor current ramps up until the comparator trips and the control  
logic turns off the switch. The current limit comparator can also turn off the switch in case the current limit of the  
PFET is exceeded. Then the NFET switch is turned on and the inductor current ramps down. The next cycle is  
initiated by the clock turning off the NFET and turning on the PFET.  
7.4.2 Bypass Mode Operation  
The LM3242 contains an internal BPFET switch for bypassing the PWM DC-DC converter during Bypass mode.  
In Bypass mode, this BPFET is turned on to power the PA directly from the battery for maximum RF output  
power. When the part operates in the Bypass mode, the output voltage is the input voltage less the voltage drop  
across the resistance of the BPFET in parallel with the PFET + Switch Inductor. Bypass mode is more efficient  
than operating in PWM mode at 100% duty cycle because the combined resistance is significantly less than the  
series resistance of the PWM PFET and inductor. This translates into higher voltage available on the output in  
Bypass mode, for a given battery voltage. The part can be set to bypass mode by sending BPEN pin high. This  
is called Forced Bypass Mode and it remains in bypass mode until BPEN pin goes low. Alternatively the part can  
go into Bypass mode automatically. This is called Auto-Bypass mode or Automatic Bypass mode. The bypass  
switch turns on when the difference between the input voltage and programmed output voltage is less than 200  
mV (typical) for longer than 10 µs (typical). The bypass switch turns off when the input voltage is higher than the  
programmed output voltage by 250 mV (typical) for longer than 0.1 µs (typical). This method is very system  
resource friendly in that the Bypass PFET is turned on automatically when the input voltage gets close to the  
output voltage, a typical scenario of a discharging battery. It is also turned off automatically when the input  
voltage rises, a typical scenario when connecting a charger. When VOUT < 300 mV, BPEN is ignored.  
7.4.3 ECO Mode Operation  
At very light loads (50 mA to 100 mA), the LM3242 enters ECO mode operation with reduced switching  
frequency and supply current to maintain high efficiency. During ECO mode operation, the LM3242 positions the  
output voltage slightly higher (7 mV typical) than the normal output voltage during PWM mode operation, allowing  
additional headroom for voltage drop during a load transient from light to heavy load.  
ECO Mode at Light Load  
High ECO Threshold  
Load current increases  
Target Output Voltage  
Low ECO Threshold  
PWM Mode at Heavy Load  
Figure 22. Operation In ECO Mode and Transfer to PWM Mode  
7.4.4 Sleep Mode Operation  
When VCON is less than 80 mV in 10 µs, the LM3242 goes into SLEEP mode — the SW pin is in Tri-state  
(floating), which operates like ECO mode with no switching. The LM3242 device returns to normal operation  
immediately when VCON 130 mV in PWM mode or ECO mode, depending on load detection.

ZHCSAP9E OCTOBER 2011REVISED AUGUST 2015  
7.4.5 Shutdown Mode  
Setting the EN digital pin low (< 0.4 V) places the LM3242 in Shutdown mode (0.1 µA typical). During shutdown,  
the PFET switch, the NFET synchronous rectifier, reference voltage source, control and bias circuitry of the  
LM3242 are turned off. Setting EN high (> 1.2 V) enables normal operation. EN must be set low to turn off the  
LM3242 during power-up and undervoltage conditions when the power supply is less than the 2.7V minimum  
operating voltage. The LM3242 has an undervoltage lock-out (UVLO) comparator to turn the power device off in  
the case the input voltage or battery voltage is too low. The typical UVLO threshold is around 2 V for lock and 2.1  
V for release.

8 Application and Implementation  
NOTE  
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component  
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are  
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should  
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.  
8.1 Application Information  
8.1.1 Setting The Output Voltage  
The LM3242 features a pin-controlled adjustable output voltage to eliminate the need for external feedback  
resistors. It can be programmed for an output voltage from 0.4 V to 3.6 V by setting the voltage on the VCON  
pin, as in Equation 1:  
VOUT = 2.5 × VCON  
(1)  
When VCON is between 0.16 V and 1.44 V, the output voltage will follow proportionally by 2.5 times of VCON.  
If VCON is less than 0.16 V (VOUT = 0.4 V), the output voltage may not be well regulated. Refer to Figure 21 for  
more detail. This curve exhibits the characteristics of a typical part, and the performance cannot be ensured as  
there could be a part-to-part variation for output voltages less than 0.4 V. For VOUT lower than 0.4 V, the  
converter might suffer from larger output ripple voltage and higher current limit operation.  
8.1.2 FB

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure  
8.2.2.1 Inductor Selection  
There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor; the inductor must not saturate, and the inductor  
current ripple is small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Different manufacturers follow  
different saturation current rating specifications, so attention must be given to details. Saturation current ratings  
are typically specified at 25°C so ratings over the ambient temperature of application should be requested from  
manufacturer.  
Minimum value of inductance to ensure good performance is 0.3 µH at bias current (ILIM (typical)) over the  
ambient temperature range. Shielded inductors radiate less noise and are preferred. There are two methods to  
choose the inductor saturation current rating:  
8.2.2.1.1 Method 1  
The saturation current must be greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst-case average-  
to-peak inductor current. This can be written as:  
ISAT > IOUT_MAX + IRIPPLE

«

«

where  
IRIPPLE: average-to-peak inductor current  
IOUT_MAX: maximum load current (750 mA)  
VIN: maximum input voltage in application  
L minimum inductor value including worst-case tolerances (30% drop can be considered for Method 1)  
F: minimum switching frequency (5.7 MHz)  
VOUT: output voltage  
(2)  
8.2.2.1.2 Method 2  
A more conservative and recommended approach is to choose an inductor that can handle the maximum current  
limit of 1600 mA.  
The resistance of the inductor must be less than approximately 0.1 for good efficiency. Table 3 lists suggested  
inductors and suppliers.

8.2.2.2 Capacitor Selection  
The LM3242 is designed for use with ceramic capacitors for its input and output filters. Use a 10-µF ceramic  
capacitor for input and a sum total of 4.7-µF ceramic capacitors for the output. They must maintain at least 50%  
capacitance at DC bias and temperature conditions. Ceramic capacitors types such as X5R, X7R, and B are  
recommended for both filters. These provide an optimal balance between small size, cost, reliability and  
performance for cell phones and similar applications. Table 4 lists some suggested part numbers and suppliers.  
DC bias characteristics of the capacitors must be considered when selecting the voltage rating and case size of  
the capacitor. If it is necessary to choose a 0603 (1608) size capacitor for VIN and 0402 (1005) size capacitor for  
VOUT, the operation of the LM3242 must be carefully evaluated on the system board. Use of a 2.2-µF capacitor in  
conjunction with multiple 0.47 µF or 1 µF capacitors in parallel may also be considered when connecting to  
power amplifier devices that require local decoupling.

The input filter capacitor supplies AC current drawn by the PFET switch of the LM3242 in the first part of each  
cycle and reduces the voltage ripple imposed on the input power source. The output filter capacitor absorbs the  
AC inductor current, helps maintain a steady output voltage during transient load changes and reduces output  
voltage ripple. These capacitors must be selected with sufficient capacitance and sufficiently low Equivalent  
Series Resistance (ESR) to perform these functions. The ESR of the filter capacitors is generally a major factor  
in voltage ripple.

10 Layout  
10.1 Layout Guidelines  
PC board layout is critical to successfully designing a DC-DC converter into a product. As much as a 20-dB  
improvement in RX noise floor can be achieved by carefully following recommended layout practices. A properly  
planned board layout optimizes the performance of a DC-DC converter and minimizes effects on surrounding  
circuitry while also addressing manufacturing issues that can have adverse impacts on board quality and final  
product yield.  
10.1.1 PCB Considerations  
Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to  
EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces. Erroneous signals could be sent to the DC-DC  
converter device, resulting in poor regulation or instability. Poor layout can also result in re-flow problems leading  
to poor solder joints between the DSBGA package and board pads. Poor solder joints can result in erratic or  
degraded performance of the converter.  
10.1.1.1 Energy Efficiency  
Minimize resistive losses by using wide traces between the power components and doubling up traces on  
multiple layers when possible.  
10.1.1.2 EMI  
By its very nature, any switching converter generates electrical noise, and the circuit board designer’s challenge  
is to minimize, contain, or attenuate such switcher-generated noise. A high-frequency switching converter, such  
as the LM3242, switches Ampere level currents within nanoseconds, and the traces interconnecting the  
associated components can act as radiating antennas. The following guidelines are offered to help to ensure that  
EMI is maintained within tolerable levels.  
To minimize radiated noise:  
Place the LM3242 switcher, its input capacitor, and output filter inductor and capacitor close together, and  
make the interconnecting traces as short as possible.  
Arrange the components so that the switching current loops curl in the same direction. During the first half of  
each cycle, current flows from the input filter capacitor, through the internal PFET of the LM3242 and the  
inductor, to the output filter capacitor, then back through ground, forming a current loop. In the second half of  
each cycle, current is pulled up from ground, through the internal synchronous NFET of the LM3242 by the  
inductor, to the output filter capacitor and then back through ground, forming a second current loop. Routing  
these loops so the current curls in the same direction prevents magnetic field reversal between the two half-  
cycles and reduces radiated noise.  
Make the current loop area(s) as small as possible.  
To minimize ground-plane noise:  
Reduce the amount of switching current that circulates through the ground plane: Connect the ground bumps  
of the LM3242 and its input filter capacitor together using generous component-side copper fill as a pseudo-  
ground plane. Then connect this copper fill to the system ground-plane (if one is used) with multiple vias.  
These multiple vias help to minimize ground bounce at the LM3242 by giving it a low-impedance ground  
connection.  
To minimize coupling to the DC-DC converter’s own voltage feedback trace:  
Route noise sensitive traces, such as the voltage feedback path, as directly as possible from the switcher FB  
pad to the VOUT pad of the output capacitor, but keep it away from noisy traces between the power  
components.  
To decouple common power supply lines, series impedances may be used to strategically isolate circuits:  
Take advantage of the inherent inductance of circuit traces to reduce coupling among function blocks, by way  
of the power supply traces.  
Use star connection for separately routing VBATT to PVIN and VBATT_PA.  
Inserting a single ferrite bead in-line with a power supply trace may offer a favorable tradeoff in terms of  
board area, by allowing the use of fewer bypass capacitors.

Layout Guidelines (continued)  
10.1.2 Manufacturing Considerations  
The LM3242 package employs a 9-pin (3 mm × 3 mm) array of 250 micron solder balls, with a 0.4-mm pad pitch.  
A few simple design rules go a long way to ensuring a good layout.  
Pad size must be 0.225 ± 0.02 mm. Solder mask opening must be 0.325 ± 0.02 mm.  
As a thermal relief, connect to each pad with 7 mil wide, 7 mil long traces, and incrementally increase each  
trace to its optimal width. Symmetry is important to ensure the solder bumps re-flow evenly (refer to TI

The following figures are drawn from a 4-layer board design, with notes added to highlight specific details of the  
DC-DC switching converter section.  
Figure 31. Simplified LM3242 RF Evaluation Board Schematic  
1. Bulk Input Capacitor C2 must be placed closer to LM3242 than C1.  
2. Add a 1nF (C1) on input of LM3242 for high frequency filtering.  
3. Bulk Output Capacitor C3 must be placed closer to LM3242 than C4.  
4. Add a 1nF (C4) on output of LM3242 for high frequency filtering.  
5. Connect both GND terminals of C1 and C4 directly to System GND layer of phone board.  
6. Connect bumps SGND (A2), NC (B2), BPEN (C1) directly to System GND.  
7. Use 0402 caps for both C2 and C3 due to better high frequency filtering characteristics over 0603 capacitors.  
8. TI has seen some improvement in high frequency filtering for small bypass caps (C1 and C4) when they are  
connected to System GND instead of same ground as PGND. These capacitors must be 01005 case size for  
minimum footprint and best high frequency characteristics.

Layout Guidelines (continued)  
10.1.3.1 Component Placement  
PVIN  
1. Use a star connection from PVIN to LM3242 and PVIN to PA VBATT connection (VCC1). Do not daisy-  
chain PVIN connection to LM3242 circuit and then to PA device PVIN connection.  
TOP LAYER  
1. Place a via in LM3242 SGND(A2), BPEN(C1) pads to drop and connect directly to System GND Layer 4.  
2. Place two vias at LM3242 SW solder bump to drop VSW trace to Layer 3.  
3. Connect C2 and C3 capacitor GND pads to PGND bump on LM3242 using a star connection. Place vias  
in C2 and C3 GND pads that connect directly to System GND Layer 4.  
4. Add 01005/0201 capacitor footprints (C1, C4) to input/output of LM3242 for improved high frequency  
filtering. C1 and C4 GND pads connect directly to System GND Layer 4.  
5. Place three vias at L1 inductor pad to bring up VSW trace from Layer 3 to top Layer.  
LAYER 2  
1. Make FB trace at least 10 mils (0.254 mm) wide.  
2. Isolate FB trace away from noisy nodes and connect directly to C3 output capacitor. Place a via in  
LM3242 SGND(A2), BPEN(C1) pads to drop and connect directly to System GND Layer 4.  
LAYER 3  
1. Make VSW trace at least 15 mils (0.381 mm) wide.  
LAYER 4 (System GND  
1. Connect C2 and C3 PGND vias to this layer.  
2. Connect C1 and C4 GND vias to this layer.  
3. Connect LM3242 SGND(A2), BPEN(C1), NC(B2) pad vias to this layer.

10.3 DSBGA Package Assembly and Use  
Use of the DSBGA package requires specialized board layout, precision mounting and careful re-flow  
techniques, as detailed in Texas Instruments Application Note 1112. Refer to the section Surface Mount  
Assembly Considerations. For best results in assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board must be used to  
facilitate placement of the device. The pad style used with DSBGA package must be the NSMD (non-solder  
mask defined) type. This means that the solder-mask opening is larger than the pad size. This prevents a lip that  
otherwise forms if the solder-mask and pad overlap, from holding the device off the surface of the board and  
interfering with mounting. See SNVA009 for specific instructions how to do this.  
The 9-bump package used for LM3242 has 250-micron solder balls and requires 0.225-mm pads for mounting on  
the circuit board. The trace to each pad must enter the pad with a 90°angle to prevent debris from being caught  
in deep corners. Initially, the trace to each pad must be 7 mil wide, for a section approximately 7 mil long, as a  
thermal relief. Then each trace must neck up or down to its optimal width. The important criterion is symmetry.  
This ensures the solder bumps on the LM3242 re-flow evenly and that the device solders level to the board. In  
particular, special attention must be paid to the pads for bumps A3 and C3. Because VIN and GND are typically  
connected to large copper planes, inadequate thermal reliefs can result in late or inadequate re-flow of these  
bumps.  
The DSBGA package is optimized for the smallest possible size in applications with red or infrared opaque  
cases. Because the DSBGA package lacks the plastic encapsulation characteristic of larger devices, it is  
vulnerable to light. Backside metallization and/or epoxy coating, along with front-side shading by the printed  
circuit board, reduce this sensitivity. However, the package has exposed die edges. In particular, DSBGA  
devices are sensitive to light, in the red and infrared range, shining on the package’s exposed die edges.  
Adding a 10-nF capacitor between VCON and ground is recommended for non-standard ESD events or  
environments and manufacturing processes. It prevents unexpected output voltage drift.
