MAX8581 Overview
The MAX8581/MAX8582 high-frequency step-down converters are optimized for dynamically powering the power amplifier (PA) in CDMA handsets. They integrate a highefficiency PWM step-down converter for medium- and low-power transmission and a 60mΩ (typ) bypass mode to power the PA directly from the battery during highpower transmission. They use an analog input driven by an external DAC to control the output voltage...
