Application Information
Topology Selection When maximum power supply voltage is below than minimum load voltage, select the boost topology. When minimum power supply voltage is high than maximum load voltage, select buck topology. When load voltage range is small and between the power supply voltage, select sepic topology. Table-1: Voltage condition Vs Topology For the large power application, if chose DCM, the peak current will be very large, it will have great electrical stress on the components, so we chose CCM. When work in CCM mode, a reasonable ripple current is chosen to Δ I L=0.4I L For the boost topology,

The inductance, peak current rating, series resistance, and physical size should all be considered when selecting an inductor. These factors affect the converter's operating mode, efficiency, maximum output load capability, transient response time, output voltage ripple, and cost. The maximum output current, input voltage, output voltage, and switching frequency determine the inductor value. Large inductance can minimizes the current ripple, and therefore reduces the peak current, which decreases core losses in the inductor and I2R losses in the entire power path. However, large inductor values also require more energy storage and more turns of wire, which increases physical size and I2R copper losses in the inductor. Low inductor values decrease the physical size, but increase the current ripple and peak current. Finding the best inductor involves the compromises among circuit efficiency, inductor size, and cost. When choosing an inductor, the first step is to determine the operating mode: continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). When CCM mode is chosen, the ripple current and the peak current of the inductor can be minimized. If a small-size inductor is required, DCM mode can be chosen. In DCM mode, the inductor value and size can be minimized but the inductor ripple current and peak current are higher than those in CCM.
D: duty cycle, Io: output current, F: switching frequency. From above equation we can get the inductance:

Because the Cs capacitor will flow the large RMS current, so this topology is suitable for small power application. Diode Selection PAM2842 is a high switching frequency converter w h i c h d e m a n d s h i g h s p e e d r e c t i f i e r. I t ' s indispensable to use a Schottky diode rated at 3A, 40V with the PAM2842. Using a Schottky diode with a lower forward voltage drop is better to improve the power LED efficiency. In boost topology, the voltage rating should be higher than Vout and in buck topology, the voltage rating higher than Vin, the peak current is
Capacitor Selection An input capacitor is required to reduce the input ripple and noise for proper operation of the PAM2842. For good input decoupling, Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used at the input. At least 10 μ F input capacitor is recommended for most applications. And close the IC Vin-Pin we should add a bypass capacitor, usually use a 1 μ F capacitor. A minimum output capacitor value of 10 μ F is recommended under normal operating conditions, while a 22 μ F or higher capacitor may be required for higher power LED current. A reasonable value of the output capacitor depends on the LED current. 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. The ESR of the output capacitor is the important parameter to determine the output voltage ripple of the converter, so low ESR capacitors should be used at the output to reduce the output voltage ripple. The voltage rating and temperature characteristics of the Output capacitor must also be considered. So a value of 10 μ F, 50V voltage rating capacitor is chosen. Consider from discharge aspect: Ix Δ t=Cx Δ V In boost and sepic topology, CO = In buck topology, CO =
IDMAX = IL +
DIL 2
in sepic topology, the voltage rating should be higher than Vin+Vout, the peak current is I DMAX=I L1peak+I L2peak The average current of the diode equals to Io. Work frequency selection PAM2842 working frequency is decided by resistor connect to the RT pin, it can be calculated by follow equation: 1012 FSW = (Hz) 24 ´ (RT + 12K) From the equations, we can see when working frequency is high, the inductance can be small. It's important in some size limit application. But we should know when the working frequency is higher, the switching loss is higher too. We must pay attention to thermal dissipation in this application. Methods for Setting LED Current There are two methods for setting and adjusting the LED current: 1) Rsense only 2) PWM signal with external components a) Use the COMP pin b) Use the Sense pin

Rsense
It maybe generate the audible noise in this dimming condition.
l Method 3: LED Current Setting with PWM
The most basic means of setting the LED current is connecting a resistor between Rsense+ and Rsense-. The LED current is decided by ISET Resistor Rsense. I LED =0.1/ R sense For flowing the large current, must pay attention to power dissipation on the resistor. Rsense has two position to select: high side current sense and low side current sense. In buck topology it just has high side current sense. In other topology we recommend use low side current sense for easier PCB layout.
l Method 2: LED Current Setting with PWM Signal Using COMP Pin
Signal using Sense Pin
This method is turn PWM signal to DC voltage, the output current can be adjusted. Because the LED current is a adjustable DC value, it will cause LED color drift. Low side current sense and high side current sense circuit is different. Please see Figure 2 and 3. It use the internal reference voltage, so PWM dimming signal voltage is not considered, just meet the request of the MOSFET driving voltage.
