General Description
The PAM242x devices are high-performance,fixed
frequency, current-mode PWM step-up DC/DC
converter that incorporate internal power
MOSFETs. The PAM242x includes an integrated
power MOSFET that supports peak currents of up
to 3A/4.5A/5.5A.
The PAM2 42x utilizes simple ex ternal loop
compensation allowing optimization between
component size, cost, and AC performance across
a wide range of applications. Additional functions
include an externally programmable soft-start
function for easy inrush current control, internal
over-voltage pr otection (OVP) ,c ycle-by- cyc le
current limit protection, under voltage lock-out and
thermal shutdown.
The PAM242x is available in the small SOP-8(EP)
package.

Function
Power Ground
Supply Input.
Enable Control. Connect to a logic high level to enable the IC. Connect to a logic low level
to disable the IC. When unused, connect EN pin to IN (do not leave pin floating).
Error Amplifier Compensation Node.
Analog Ground
Feedback Input. Connect this pin a res istor divider from the output to set the output
voltage. FB is regulated to 1.262V.
Sof t Start Control Input. Connect a capacitor from this pin to Ground to set soft-start
7
SS
timing duration. SS is discharged to ground in shutdown. SS may be left unconnected if
soft start is not desired.

PAD
Switch Output. Connec t this pin to the inductor and the schottky diode. To minimize E MI,
minimize the PCB trace path between this pin and the input bypass capac itor.
