PAM2421AECADJR

Diodes Incorporated · DC-DC Converters · SOIC-8-EP

PAM2421AECADJR from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOIC-8-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 PGND power_in Power ground. Return for the internal power MOSFET switch current; route with short, wide traces to the input bypass capacitor return.
2 IN power_in Supply input. Operating input voltage range 2.7V to 5.5V. Bypass locally to PGND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor.
3 EN input Enable control input. Logic high (>=1.4V) enables the IC; logic low (<=0.4V) disables it (shutdown current ~0.1uA). Do not leave floating; tie to IN if unused.
4 COMP output Error amplifier compensation node. Connect an external RC network from this pin to AGND to set the loop compensation.
5 AGND power_in Analog ground. Reference for the internal analog circuitry; connect to PGND at a single quiet point.
6 FB input Feedback input. Connect a resistor divider from VOUT to FB to AGND to program the output voltage. FB is regulated to 1.262V; FB input current typ 0nA (80nA max).
7 SS passive Soft-start control input. A capacitor (e.g. 10nF) from SS to ground programs the soft-start ramp; charged by a 4.5uA internal current source. Discharged to ground in shutdown; may be left floating if soft-start is not needed.
8 SW power_out Switch output; drain of the internal power MOSFET. Connect to the boost inductor and Schottky rectifier anode. Rated to +28V absolute maximum; keep trace short and away from sensitive nodes to minimize EMI.
9 EP power_in Exposed thermal pad on package underside. Must be connected to ground for proper thermal performance.
