3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA1211HN is a fully integrated auto-up/down
DC/DC converter circuit with I2C-bus interface. Efficient,
compact and dynamic power conversion is achieved using
a digitally controlled pulse width and frequency modulation
like control concept, four integrated low RDS(on) power
switches with low parasitic capacitances and fully
synchronous rectification.
The combination of auto-up/down DC/DC conversion, high
efficiency and low switching noise makes the TEA1211HN
well suited to supply a power amplifier in a cellular phone.
The output voltage can be I2C-bus programmed to the
exact voltage needed to achieve a certain output power
level with optimal system efficiency, thus enlarging battery
lifetime.
The TEA1211HN operates at 600 kHz switching frequency
which enables the use of small size external components.
The switching frequency can be locked to an external high
frequency clock. Deadlock is prevented by an on-chip
under voltage lockout circuit. An adjustable current limit
enables efficient battery use even at high dynamic loads.
Optionally, the device can be kept in pulse width
modulation mode regardless of the load applied.
