PAM2400
General Description
The PAM2400 is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC
converter, delivering a fixed output voltage of
2.0V, 2.7V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.8V or 5.0V. The
device starts up with an input voltage as low as
0.9V at 1mA load. The Pulse Frequency
Modulation (PFM) scheme provides optimized
performance for applications with light load and
low input voltages.
The PAM2400 employs a built-in synchronous
rectifier, instead of requiring an external Schottky
diode, so that to improve system efficiency and
save system cost and PCB area.
The internal PFM control circuit operates at
constant switching frequency of 100KHz. Only
three external components are required. The
space saving SOT-89 and SOT-23 packages make
