Introducing the PAM2861CBR from Diodes Incorporated

The PAM2861CBR is a high-performance, adjustable and fixed frequency, current mode PWM step-up (boost) converter from Diodes Incorporated, a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality semiconductor products. This robust integrated circuit (IC) is designed to efficiently manage power in a compact form factor, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.

With its input voltage ranging from 2.5V to 18V, the PAM2861CBR is versatile enough to accommodate various power sources, including single-cell batteries, making it perfect for portable devices. Its ability to boost lower voltages to a selectable output voltage ranging from 5V to 24V (adjustable version) allows for flexibility in design for multiple applications.

The PAM2861CBR is capable of delivering up to 1.2A of output current, which is sufficient for driving high-power LEDs, charging batteries, and powering small motors, among other tasks. Its high switching frequency of up to 1MHz not only allows for smaller external components, reducing the overall solution size, but also provides fast transient response and high efficiency.

Key features of the PAM2861CBR include thermal shutdown protection, overcurrent protection, and under-voltage lockout, which safeguard the device and the system it powers from various abnormal operating conditions. Additionally, the soft-start function minimizes inrush current during startup, contributing to the longevity of the product.

The PAM2861CBR comes in a compact TSOT25 package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. It is also RoHS compliant, ensuring adherence to environmental standards and regulations.

Whether you're designing power solutions for consumer electronics, IoT devices, or portable applications, the PAM2861CBR offers a reliable and efficient way to step up voltage with minimal external components. Its robust protection features and high efficiency make it a go-to choice for engineers and designers looking for a high-quality boost converter.
