PAM2421/ PAM2422/ PAM2423 3A, 4.5A, 5.5A PWM STEP-UP DC-DC CONVERTER Description Pin Assignments The PAM242x devices are high-performance, fixed frequency, current-mode PWM step-up DC/DC converters 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 PAM242x 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 PAM242x is available in the small SO-8EP package.

Connect to a logic high level to enable the IC. Connect to a logic low level to disable the IC. 3 EN When unused, connect EN pin to IN (do not leave pin floating). Error Amplifier Compensation Node 4 COMP Analog Ground 5 AGND Feedback Input.Connect this pin a resistor divider from the output to set the output 6 FB voltage. FB is regulated to 1.262V. Soft Start Control Input. Connect a capacitor from this pin to Ground to set soft-start timing duration. SS is discharged to ground in shutdown. SS may be left unconnected if 7 SS soft start is not desired. Switch Output. Connect this pin to the inductor and the schottky diode. To minimize EMI, minimize the PCB 8 SW trace path between this pin and the input bypass capacitor.
