PAM2306D
DUAL HIGH-EFFICIENCY PWM STEP-DOWN DC-DC CONVERTER
Description
Pin Assignments
The PAM2306D is a dual 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 PAM2306D provides a
powersaving Pulse-Skipping Modulation (PSM) mode to reduce
quiescent cur rent under light load operation.
The PAM2306D 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 dual output
voltages are available for adjustment. All versions employ internal
power switch and synchronous rectifier 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
0.1µA. Other key features include under-voltage lockout to prevent
deep battery discharge.

Application Information
The basic PAM2306D application circuit is shown in Page 1. External component selection is determined by the load requirement, selecting L
first and then CIN and COUT.
Inductor Selection
For most applications, the value of the inductor will fall in the range of 1μH to 4.7μH. Its value is chosen based on the desired ripple current.
Large value inductors lower ripple current and small value inductors result in higher ripple currents. Higher VIN or VOUT also increases the
ripple current as shown in Equation 1. A reasonable starting point for setting ripple current is ∆IL = 400mA (40% of 1A).
 IL 

f L 
VIN 

Equation
(1)
The DC current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to the maximum load current plus half the ripple current to prevent core
saturation. Thus, a 1.4A rated inductor should be enough for most applications (1A + 400mA). For better efficiency, choose a low DCresistance inductor.

CIN and COUT Selection
In continuous mode, the source current of the top MOSFET is a square wave of duty cycle VOUT/VIN. To prevent large voltage transients, a low
ESR input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current must be used. The maximum RMS capacitor current is given by:
CIN requiredIRMS  IOMAX
VOUT VIN  VOUT 1 / 2
VIN
This formula has a maximum at VIN =2VOUT, where IRMS = IOUT/2. This simple worst-case condition is commonly used for design because
even significant deviations do not offer much relief. Note that the capacitor manufacturer's ripple current ratings are often based on 2000 hours
of life. This makes it advisable to further derate the capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Consult the
manufacturer if there is any question.
The selection of COUT is driven by the required effective series resistance (ESR).
Typically, once the ESR requirement for COUT has been met, the RMS current rating generally far exceeds the IRIPPLE (P-P) requirement. The
output ripple ∆VOUT is determined by:

1 

V OUT   IL  ESR 


fC
OUT 

Where f = operating frequency, COUT = output capacitance and ∆IL = ripple current in the inductor. For a fixed output voltage, the output ripple
is highest at maximum input voltage since ∆IL increases with input voltage.
Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
Higher values, lower cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current, high voltage rating
and low ESR make them ideal for switching regulator applications. Using ceramic capacitors can achieve very low output ripple and small
circuit size.
When choosing the input and output ceramic capacitors, choose the X5R or X7R dielectric formulations. These dielectrics have the best
temperature and voltage characteristics of all the ceramics for a given value and size.
Thermal Consideration
Thermal protection limits power dissipation in the PAM2306D. When the junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the OTP (Over Temperature
Protection) starts the thermal shutdown and turns the pass transistor off. The pass transistor resumes operation after the junction temperature
drops below 120°C.
For continuous operation, the junction temperature should be maintained below 125°C. The power dissipation is defined as:
PD  IO 2
VO RDS(ON)H  VIN  V O RDS(ON)L
VIN
 tSW FS IO  IQ  VIN
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down converter switching losses.

Application Information (cont.)
For the condition where the step-down converter is in dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation reduces to:
PD  IO 2 RDS(ON)H  IQ VIN
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses should be investigated over the complete
input voltage range. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surrounding
airflow and temperature difference between junction and ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the following formula:
PD 
TJ(MAX )  T A
JA
Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum allowable junction temperature 125°C. TA is the ambient temperature and θJA is the thermal resistance from the
junction to the ambient. Based on the standard JEDEC for a two layers thermal test board, the thermal resistance θJA of WDFN3X3 is 60°C/W.
The maximum power dissipation at TA = +25°C can be calculated by following formula:
PD = (125°C - 25°C)/60°C/W = 1.66W
Selecting the Output Voltage
The internal reference is 0.6V (Typical). The output voltage is calculated as below:

100% Duty Cycle Operation
As the input voltage approaches the output voltage, the converter turns the P-Channel transistor continuously on. In this mode the output
voltage is equal to the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the P-Channel transistor:
VOUT = VIN - ILOAD (RDS(ON) + RL )
where RDS(ON) = P-Channel switch ON resistance, ILOAD = Output Current, RL = Inductor DC Resistance
UVLO and Soft-Start
The reference and the circuit remain reset until the VIN crosses its UVLO threshold.
The PAM2306D has an internal soft-start circuit that limits the in-rush current during start-up. This prevents possible voltage drops of the input
voltage and eliminates the output voltage overshoot. The soft-start acts as a digital circuit to increase the switch current in several steps to the
P-Channel current limit (1500mA).
Short Circuit Protection
The switch peak current is limited cycle-by-cycle to a typical value of 1500mA. In the event of an output voltage short circuit, the device
operates with a frequency of 400kHz and minimum duty cycle, therefore the average input current is typically 200mA.
Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature exceeds 150°C, a reset occurs and the reset remains until the temperature decrease to 120°C, at which time the
circuit can be restarted.

PCB Layout Check List
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of the PAM2306D. These items
are also illustrated graphically in Figure 1. Check the following
in your layout:
1. The power traces, consisting of the GND trace, the SW trace and the VIN trace should be kept short, direct and wide.
2. Does the FB pin connect directly to the feedback resistors? The resistive divider R1/R2 must be c onnected between the (+) plate of COUT
and ground.
3. Does the (+) plate of CIN connect to VIN as closely as possible? This capacitor provides the AC current to the internal power MOSFETs.
4. Keep the switching node, SW, away from the sensitive FB node.
5. Keep the (–) plates of CIN and COUT as close as possible.
