Description
The PAM2312 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 PAM2312 provides a power-saving
Pulse- Skipping Modulation (PSM) mode to reduce quiescent current
under light load operation to save power.
The PAM2312 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
PAM2312-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 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 1µA. Other key
features include under-voltage lockout to prevent deep battery
discharge.
The PAM2312 is available in TSOT25 packages.

Enable Control Input. Force this pin voltage above 1.5V, enables the chip, and below
0.3V shuts down the device.
VOUT: Output voltage feedback pin, an internal resistive divider divides the output
voltage down for comparison to the internal reference voltage.
FB: Feedback voltage to internal error amplifier, the threshold voltage is 0.6V.
The drains of the internal main and synchronous power MOSFET.
