A pplication Information
Inductor Selection The selection of the inductor affects steady state operation as well as transient behavior and loop stability. These factors make it the most important component in power regulator design. There are three important inductor specifications, inductor value, DC resistance and saturation current. Considering inductor value alone is not enough. The inductor value determines the inductor ripple current. Choose an inductor that can handle the necessary peak current without saturation, the inductor DC current given by: Iin_dc=Vout*Iout/(Vin* η ) η =efficiency. V RIPPLE=V RIPPLE(C)+V RIPPLE(ESR) Inductor values can have ±20% tolerance with no current bias. When the inductor current approaches saturation level, its inductance can decrease 20% to 35% from the 0A value depending on how the inductor vendor defines saturation current. Using an inductor with a smaller inductance value causes discontinuous PWM when the inductor current ramps down to zero before the end of each switching cycle. This reduces the boost converter's maximum output current, causes large input voltage ripple and reduces efficiency. Large inductance value provides much more output current and higher conversion efficiency. For these reasons, an inductor within 4.7μH to 22μH value range is recommended. Schottky Diode Selection The high switching frequency of the PAM2841 demands a high-speed rectification for optimum efficiency. Ensure that the diode average and peak current rating exceeds the average output current and peak inductor current. In addition, the diode's reverse breakdown voltage must exceed the open protection voltage. Input and Output Capacitor Selection Input Capacitor At least a 1 μ F input capacitor is recommended to reduce the input ripple and switching noise for normal operating conditions. Larger value and lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) may be needed if the application require very low input ripple. It follows that ceramic capacitors are a good choice for applications. Note that the input capacitor should be located as close as possible V RIPPLE(C)≈ 2 I OUT) 1/2*(L/(C OUT *((V OUT(MAX) -V IN(MIN) ))))*(I

to the device. Output Capacitor The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirement for the output ripple and loop stability. This ripple voltage is related to the capacitor's capacitance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). A output capacitor of 1μF minimum is recommended and maybe need a larger capacitor. The total output voltage ripple has two components: the capacitive ripple caused by the charging and discharging on the output capacitor, and the ohmic ripple due to the capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR):
-
V RIPPLE(ESR)=I PEAK*R ESR(COUT) Where I PEAK is the peak inductor current. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. Capacitance and ESR variation with temperature should be considered for best performance in applications with wide operating temperature ranges. Dimming Control There are 4 different types of dimming control methods: 1). Using an External PWM Signal to EN Pin With the PWM signal applied to the EN pin, the PAM2841 is alternately turned on or off by the PWM signal. The LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average LED current changes proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle turns off the PAM2841 and leads to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle generates full current.Also the recommend dimming frequency is between 100Hz and 200Hz. I AVE=I STATE* (T ON –T STARTUP)/(T ON+T OFF) where T ON: on time of a period T STARTUP: 0.85ms T OFF: off time of a period I STATE: on state current (full current)

F igure. 1 2). Using an External PWM Signal to NMOS Gate. When PWM signal is at high level, N MOSFET turned on, then pull comp pin down, then the LED current should be zero. When PWM signal is at low level, N MOSFET turned off. The circuit uses resistor R1 to set the on state current. The average LED current changes proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 100% duty cycle turns off the PAM2841 and leads to zero LED current. A 0% duty cycle generates full current.
