General 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
PA M 2 3 0 1 p r o v i d e s a p o w e r - s a v i n g P u l s e -
Skipping Modulation (PSM) mode to reduce
quiescent current under light load operation to
save power.
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, 2.8V,
2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V or adjustable. All versions
employ internal power switch and synchronous
rectifierfor 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 0.1 μ A. Other key features
include under-voltage lockout to prevent deep
battery discharge.
The PAM2301 is available in SOT23-5 package.
