Product details
Overview
PAM2305AAB280 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 2.8V output, operating from 2.5V–5.5V input, delivering up to 96% efficiency and 40µA typical quiescent current in PSM mode-designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise power rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the PAM2305AAB280 datasheet, PAM2305AAB280 pinout, PAM2305AAB280 application, or PAM2305AAB280 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz switching frequency, 0.6V feedback reference, TSOT25 package thermal resistance (θJA = 250°C/W), and integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs enabling compact, high-efficiency buck regulation in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The PAM2305AAB280 employs current-mode PWM control with pulse-skipping modulation (PSM) for light-load efficiency optimization, maintaining regulation across 2.5V–5.5V input while delivering fixed 2.8V at up to 1A. Its internal 0.6V reference and feedback architecture enable precise output voltage accuracy (±3%) independent of load and line variation.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 30°C hysteresis, and under-voltage lockout prevents operation below VIN threshold. The device integrates soft-start to limit inrush current and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.5A typ) for short-circuit protection-ensuring robust operation in dynamic load environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±3% - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for dedicated rail generation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single Li+/Li-Po cell, USB VBUS, or multi-cell alkaline/NiMH sources without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - limited by thermal dissipation in TSOT25 package (PD ≤ 400mW at TA = 25°C). |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ) - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and ceramic capacitors for minimal footprint and low EMI. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA (typ) in PSM mode - extends battery runtime in standby/sleep states of portable devices. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V internal reference - sets output via resistor divider; fixed-output variant bypasses external R1/R2. |
| Shutdown Current | <0.1µA - fully isolates input from output during disable, preventing battery drain in off-state. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in a 5-pin TSOT25 (SOT-25) package with exposed thermal pad (1.90 × 1.90 mm), optimized for low-profile PCB layouts and moderate power dissipation (θJA = 250°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V supply; connects directly to input capacitor to minimize high-frequency ripple injection. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return path for input/output currents and IC bias; must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad. |
| EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) disables converter and reduces IQ to <0.1µA. |
| VOUT/FB | Output voltage sense / feedback | Internally connected to 2.8V output; no external resistor required-pin serves as regulated output node. |
| SW | Switch node | Drain connection of internal high-side and synchronous rectifier MOSFETs; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated high-side P-MOSFET and low-side N-MOSFET eliminate external diode, improving efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous design. |
| 1.5MHz constant-frequency PWM | Enables use of sub-3mm inductors and 10µF ceramic capacitors, reducing solution size by >40% versus 500kHz converters. |
| Soft-start circuit | Digital ramp limits inrush current to prevent input voltage sag and output overshoot during startup. |
| Over-temperature protection | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and auto-restarts at 120°C-prevents thermal runaway without external monitoring. |
| Short-circuit protection | Cycle-by-cycle peak current limit (1.5A typ) and 400kHz fallback mode limit average input current to ~200mA during fault. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 2.8V fixed output, 1.5A rating, 3.6MHz switching, 17µA IQ - higher frequency but lower max current and tighter input range (2.05–6.5V). | Preferred where board space is extremely constrained and higher switching frequency enables smaller passives. | Select if 1.5A output and 3.6MHz operation justify trade-offs in thermal margin and input flexibility. |
| AP63202WS-7 | 2.8V fixed output, 2A rating, 500kHz–2.5MHz programmable frequency, 25µA IQ - wider frequency range but larger DFN2020-6 package. | Better suited for higher-current loads or designs requiring EMI spread-spectrum tuning. | Choose when >1A load headroom or frequency agility outweighs TSOT25 size advantage. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and AP63202WS-7, the PAM2305AAB280 offers optimal balance of ultra-low quiescent current (40µA), TSOT25 footprint, and proven 1A capability at 1.5MHz-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-limited portable applications where thermal budget is moderate.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for PAM2305AAB280 in TSOT25 package?
The maximum continuous output current is 1A, but thermal limits constrain practical operation: at TA = 25°C, junction temperature must stay below +125°C, permitting only ~400mW dissipation in TSOT25 (θJA = 250°C/W). At 1A and 2.8V output with 3.6V input, power loss exceeds this limit-derating to 700mA is advised for sustained operation without forced airflow.
Can PAM2305AAB280 be used with ceramic input and output capacitors?
Yes-ceramic capacitors are explicitly recommended. Use X5R or X7R dielectric types: 10µF input (X5R, 0603 or 0805) and 10µF output (X5R, 0603) meet RMS current and ESR requirements. Ceramic caps enable low ripple (≈15mVpp), compact layout, and stable loop response due to their near-zero ESR and high ripple current rating.
Does PAM2305AAB280 require external feedback resistors for 2.8V output?
No-PAM2305AAB280 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider calibrated to 2.8V. The VOUT/FB pin is directly connected to the regulated output; no external R1/R2 network is needed, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity compared to adjustable versions.
How does the PAM2305AAB280 behave during input undervoltage conditions?
It implements under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with a turn-on threshold of ~2.5V and hysteresis of ~0.1V. When VIN drops below UVLO threshold, regulation stops, EN remains inactive, and the device draws <0.1µA. This prevents brown-out operation and protects batteries from over-discharge in portable systems.
