PAM2303 General Description
The PAM2304 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
PAM2304 provides a power -saving Pulse-Skipping Modulation (PSM) mode to
reduce quiescent current under light load operation to save power. The
PAM2304 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 PAM2304-XX indicates pre-set
output voltage of 3.3V, 2.8V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V or adjustable. All
versions employ internal power switch and synchronous rectifier to minimize
external part count and achieve high efficiency. During shutdown, the input is
disconnected from the output and the shutdown current is less than 1uA. Other
key features include under-voltage lockout to prevent deep battery discharge.
The PAM2304 is available in SOT23-5 packages.

External Compnents Selection
Input & output Capacitors (C1, C2)
- For lower output ripple, low ESR is required.
- Low leakage current needed, 10uF, X5R/X7R ceramic recommend
Feed forward capacitor (C3)
- Lower the output ripple
- Low leakage current needed, 20-100pF, NPO/COG ceramic recommend
Output Voltage programmer resistors (R1, R2)
- For programmer output voltage
- For accurate output voltage, 1% tolerance is required.
Inductor (L1)
- Low DCR for good efficiency
- Inductor rated Current must higher than the output current
