Maxim unveils single-chip PMICs for Icera's E400/E450 platform
February 04, 2011 // Paul Buckley
Maxim Integrated Products has introduced power-management ICs (PMICs) for LTE/WCDMA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE data cards based on Icera's E400/E450 platform. The MAX8982A/MAX8982X devices integrate four high-efficiency step-down converters and nine low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) to power all RF and baseband circuitry.
The integration completely eliminates external components, including the external converter normally required for GSM power amplifier (PA) modules. They thus reduce solution size by 60% and BOM cost by over $1.50, making them ideal for USB dongles (MAX8982A) and PC cards (MAX8982X).
To increase design flexibility and reduce system power consumption, the MAX8982A/MAX8982X allow system designers to program individual output voltages and enable/disable all regulators using the I2C interface or the dedicated control input (PWR_REQ). These PMICs also feature three current regulators with eight dimming current options (up to 24 mA) and an embedded flash timer. All LDOs include programmable voltage options and offer greater than 60 dB PSRR, less than 45 microvolts of output noise, and minimal cross-coupling noise between the LDOs.
The MAX8982A operates from a 4.1 V to 5.5 V supply, and the MAX8982X operates from 2.9 V to 5.5 V supply. Both devices are offered in a 3.75 mm x 3.20 mm, 42-bump wafer-level package (WLP) and are fully specified over the -40 to +85 °C. extended temperature range.
Pricing
Pricing starts at $2.85 (1000-up, FOB USA).

The development platform for i.MX 6Quad from element14 (built to the Freescale SABRE Lite design) is an evaluation platform featuring the powerful i.MX 6Q, a multimedia application processor with Quad ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.2 GHz from Freescale Semiconductor.
This month, Freescale and element14 are giving away five such platforms, worth £128.06 each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The platform helps evaluate the rich set of peripherals and includes a 10/100/Gb Ethernet port, SATA-II, HDMI v1.4, LVDS, parallel RGB interface, touch screen interface, analog headphone/microphone, micro TF and SD card interface, USB, serial port, JTAG, camera interface, and input keys for Android.
And the winners are...
In our previous reader offer, Pico Technology was giving away one of its recently launched PicoScope 3207B, a 2-channel USB 3.0 oscilloscope worth 1451 Euros. Lucky winner Mr L. Sanchez-Gonzalez from Spain should be receiving his PicoScope 3207B soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with his projects.
