PAM2861
1A LED DRIVER WITH INTERNAL SWITCH
Description
The PAM2861 is a continuous mode inductive step-down converter,
designed for driving single or multiple series connected LEDs
efficiently from a voltage source higher than the LED voltage. The
device operates from an input supply between 6V and 40V and
provides an externally adjustable output current of up to 1A.
Depending upon supply voltage and external components, this can
provide up to 30 watts of output power.
The PAM2861 includes the output switch and a high-side output
current sensing circuit, which uses an external resistor to set the
nominal average output current.
Output current can be adjusted below the set value, by applying an
external control signal to the VSET pin.
The VSET pin will accept either a DC voltage or a PWM waveform.
The soft-start time can be increased using an external capacitor from
the VSET pin to ground. Applying a voltage of 0.2V or lower to the
VSET pin turns the output off and switches the device into a low
current standby state.

• Multi-function On/Off and brightness control pin:
• Leave floating for normal operation.
• Drive to voltage below 0.2V to turn off output current
• Drive with DC voltage (0.3V < VSET< 2.5V) to adjust output current from 12% to 100% of I
• Drive with PWM signal from open-collector or open-drain transistor, to adjust output current. Adjustment range
1% to 100% of I
• Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground to increase soft-start time.
(Default soft-start time = 0.1ms. Additional soft-start time is approx.1.5ms/1nF)
Connect resistor RS from this pin to VIN to define nominal average output current
