Revision Information
PAM2804 General Description
The PAM2421 devices are high-performance, fixed frequency, current-mode PWM step-up DC/DC converter that incorporate internal power MOSFET. The PAM2421 includes an integrated power MOSFET that supports peak currents of up to 3A. The PAM2421 utilizes simple external 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 protection (OVP), cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, under voltage lock- out and thermal shutdown. The PAM2421 is available in the small SOP-8(EP) package.

External Components Selection
Input & output Capacitors (C1, C2, C3, C9, C10, C11)
- For lower output ripple, low ESR is required (C2, C3, C9, C10), Low leakage current is needed, X5R/X7R ceramic is recommended.
- Provide large power, large capacitance electrolytic capacitor recommend parallel connection to the ceramic capacitor (C1, C11).
Vin filter (R1, C4)
- RC filter to filter the switching noise on IC supply, 10Ω and 1uF ceramic capacitor recommended.
Compensation net (R2, C5, C6)
- R2 56kΩ, C5 2.2nF, C6 47pF recommended.
Soft start (C7)
- C7 0.1uF recommended.
Schottky Diode (D1, D2)
- SS34 3A/40V Schottky diode recommended.
- B340 3A/40V Schottky diode recommended.
Feedforward capacitor (C8)
- Lower the output ripple, low leakage current needed, using according to application.
Output Voltage programmer resistors (R3, R4, R5)
- For programmer output voltage
- For accurate output voltage, 1% tolerance is required. Vo=1.262*(1+R3/R4//R5).
Inductor (L1)
- Low DCR for good efficiency
- The inductance saturate current must higher than the output current
