PAM2301
800mA STEP-DOWN DC-DC CONVERTER
Description
The PAM2301 is a step-down current-mode, DC-DC converter. At
heavy load, the constant frequency PWM control performs excellent
stability and transient response. To ensure the longest battery life in
portable applications, the PAM2301 provides a power-saving Pulse-
Skipping Modulation (PSM) mode to reduce quiescent current under
light load operation to save power.
Pin Assignments
NEW PRODUCT
The PAM2301 supports a range of input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V,
allowing the use of a single Li+/Li-polymer cell, multiple Alkaline/NiMH
cell, USB and other standard power sources. The output voltage is
adjustable from 0.6V to the input voltage, while the part number suffix
PAM2301-XX indicates pre-set output voltage of 3.3V, 1.2V or
adjustable. All versions employ internal power switch and
synchronous rectifier to minimize external part count and realize high
efficiency. During shutdown, the input is disconnected from the output
and the shutdown current is less than 0.1mA. Other key features
include under-voltage lockout to prevent deep battery discharge.
The PAM2301 is available in TSOT25 package.

Function
Enable Control Input. Force this pin voltage above 1.5V, enables the chip, and below 0.3V shuts down the device.
Ground
The drains of the internal main and synchronous power MOSFET.
Power Supply
VOUT: Output voltage feedback pin, an internal resistive divider divides the
output voltage down for comparison to the internal reference voltage.
FB: Feedback voltage to internal error amplifier, the threshold voltage is 0.6V.
