Product details
Overview
PAM8907SB10-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a piezoelectric sounder driver IC with integrated 1.8MHz current-mode boost converter, delivering up to 31VPP differential output across OUTP/OUTN to drive ceramic/piezo sounders. It operates from 1.8V–5.5V supply, supports dual selectable boost outputs (11V or 15.6V via VSET), and achieves <1μA shutdown current - enabling ultra-low-power alarm and tracker applications.
For engineers reviewing the PAM8907SB10-7 datasheet, PAM8907SB10-7 pinout, PAM8907SB10-7 application circuit for piezo drivers, or PAM8907SB10-7 equivalent for battery-powered audio alert systems, this device offers verified fast turn-on (1.1ms), thermal/overcurrent/UVLO/OVP protections, and U-QFN2020-10 space-constrained packaging.
Technical Context
The PAM8907SB10-7 integrates a current-mode boost controller with soft-start, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and dual-loop regulation (inner current loop + outer voltage loop) to maintain stable 11V/15.6V VOUT under varying load conditions. Its proprietary piezo driver uses fully differential architecture with short turn-on/turn-off timing and no voltage cross at shutdown.
Control logic implements auto wake-up/shutdown: DIN low ≥100ms triggers <1μA quiescent mode; DIN high or pulsed input resumes operation after 1.1ms VOUT ramp-up. Protection includes OTP (+150°C), OCP, UVLO (~1.6V), VOUT OV/UV, and hiccup-mode recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.8V–5.5V input range - supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or CR2032 batteries without external LDO. |
| Boost Output Voltage | Selectable 11V or 15.6V via TTL-level VSET pin - enables SPL optimization across different piezo sounder impedance/load profiles. |
| Differential Output | 31VPP max across OUTP/OUTN - delivers high acoustic pressure for compact piezo elements in space-constrained trackers or alarms. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - extends battery life in intermittent-alert applications like asset trackers or smoke detectors. |
| Turn-On Delay | 1.1ms from DIN high to 90% VOUT - ensures rapid audible response for time-critical alerts. |
| Oscillation Frequency | 1.8MHz typical boost switching - allows use of small 1.0μH inductor and reduces EMI vs lower-frequency converters. |
| Thermal Protection | +150°C junction OTP with +30°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained high-load operation in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: U-QFN2020-10 (2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.4mm pitch, exposed thermal pad). Dimensions per Diodes Package Outline U-QFN2020-10 Rev. A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | LDO output | Internal 5V regulator output - requires 1μF decoupling capacitor for stable internal biasing. |
| 2 GND | Power ground | Main ground reference for all circuits; must connect to exposed epoxy pad for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side FET gate; requires 0.1μF/25V ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 SW | Switch node | Connects to external inductor and optional Schottky diode - carries peak currents up to 1.6A. |
| 5 VOUT | Boost output | Regulated 11V/15.6V supply for piezo driver stage - requires 1–2.2μF/25V ceramic capacitor. |
| 6 OUTN | Negative output | Differential piezo drive terminal - complements OUTP to generate zero-crossing-free 31VPP swing. |
| 7 OUTP | Positive output | Differential piezo drive terminal - paired with OUTN for balanced high-voltage AC drive. |
| 8 DIN | PWM control input | TTL-compatible enable/disable signal; low ≥100ms enters shutdown, high resumes operation. |
| 9 VSET | VOUT selection | TTL logic input: low = 11V, high = 15.6V - sets boost output without external resistors. |
| 10 VIN | Battery input | Main power input (1.8–5.5V); requires 1μF + 10μF decoupling network near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated boost + piezo driver | Eliminates need for separate DC-DC and driver ICs - reduces BOM count and PCB area in compact trackers. |
| Auto shutdown/wake-up | Hardware-based DIN-triggered state machine - removes firmware dependency for low-power alert duty cycles. |
| No voltage cross at shutdown | Ensures zero differential voltage across piezo terminals during disable - prevents unwanted acoustic pop or stress. |
| High-impedance output in shutdown | OUTP/OUTN enter Hi-Z state - isolates piezo element from residual charge, avoiding false triggering. |
| Low EMI 1.8MHz switching | Enables smaller filter components and eases EMC compliance in wireless devices sharing same PCB. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar piezo sounder driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments DRV8662 | Higher 100VPP output but requires external boost; no integrated VOUT selection or auto-shutdown logic. | Requires additional IC and layout area; better suited for high-SPL industrial alarms than space-constrained trackers. | Choose if >31VPP output or programmable frequency is required; avoid if minimal BOM and auto-power management are priorities. |
| Rohm BD7123NUX | Integrated boost at fixed 12V output; lacks VSET pin flexibility and has slower 5ms turn-on delay. | Less suitable for time-critical alerts; limited to single-output-voltage designs without hardware reconfiguration. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-time-critical piezo applications where 12V output suffices and 1.1ms response is unnecessary. |
Compared with DRV8662 and BD7123NUX, the PAM8907SB10-7 uniquely combines dual-VOUT selection, sub-millisecond wake-up, and <1μA shutdown in a 2mm² package - making it optimal for battery-limited, size-constrained piezo alert systems requiring design simplicity and long operational life.

FAQ
What is the minimum external component count required to operate the PAM8907SB10-7?
The PAM8907SB10-7 requires only five external components for basic operation: one 1.0μH inductor, one 0.1μF bootstrap capacitor, one 1μF VCC capacitor, one 1–2.2μF VOUT capacitor, and one 1μF + 10μF VIN decoupling network. No resistors or external feedback networks are needed due to its integrated VSET logic and fixed boost regulation.
Can the PAM8907SB10-7 drive piezo elements with capacitance beyond 33nF?
Yes - the datasheet specifies operation with CPIEZO = 33nF, but application guidance recommends adding a 10μF capacitor at VOUT for loads exceeding 100nF (e.g., multi-element piezo stacks in smoke alarms). The driver's 14mA short-circuit current and robust output stage support higher capacitive loads without instability.
How does the optional Schottky diode affect efficiency and layout?
A 20V/1A Schottky diode placed between SW and VOUT reduces power consumption by ~20% by bypassing the internal high-side FET's RDS(ON) loss during freewheeling. Layout requires placing the diode adjacent to SW and VOUT pins with minimal trace length to preserve EMI benefits of the 1.8MHz switching frequency.
Is the U-QFN2020-10 package compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes - the U-QFN2020-10 package has Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (per J-STD-020) and is rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its NiPdAu-plated terminals meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and the 0.4mm pitch supports fine-pitch stencil printing with appropriate aperture design.
