A Product Line of

Diodes Incorporated

3MHz, FAST TRANSIENT 2A STEP-DOWN CONVERTER

Description

The PAM2321 is a 2A step-down converter with a typical input

voltage of 3.3V and a fixed output voltage of 1.2V or an adjustable

output. The 3MHz switching frequency enables the use of small

external components. The ultra-small 3mmx3mm footprint and high

efficiency make the PAM2321 an ideal choice for portable

applications.

The PAM2321 delivers 2A maximum output current while consuming

MOSFETs and 100% duty cycle operation make the PAM2321 the

ideal choice for high output voltage, high current applications which

require a low dropout threshold.

The PAM2321 provides excellent transient response and output

accuracy across the operating range.

The PAM2321 maintains high efficiency throughout the load range.

The PAM2321 automatically optimizes efficiency during light load

mode (PSM) and maintains constant frequency and low output ripple

during PWM mode.

Over-temperature and short circuit protection safeguard the PAM2321

and system components from damage.

The PAM2321 are available in Pb-free, ultrasmall, low profile,

TDFN3X3-10 package. The product is rated over a temperature range

of -40°C to +85°C.
