losses all vary with input voltage, the total losses
should be investigated over the complete input
voltage range. The maximum power dissipation
depends on the thermal resistance of IC
package, PCB layout, the rate of surrounding
airflow and temperature difference between
junction and ambient. The maximum power
dissipation can be calculated by the following
formula:
P_D
=
T_J(MAX) -T_A
θ_JA
Where TJ(max) is the maximum allowable
junction temperature 125°C.T_A is the ambient
temperature and θ_JA is the thermal resistance
from the junction to the ambient. Based on the
standard JEDEC for a two layers thermal test
board, the thermal resistance θ_JA of TDFN2X2
70°C/W, respectively. The maximum power
dissipation at T_A = 25°C can be calculated by
following formula:
P _D=(125°C-25°C)/70°C/W=1.42W

Pulse Skipping Mode (PSM) Description
When load current decreases, the peak switch
current in Power-PMOS will be lower than skip
current threshold and the device will enter into
Pulse Skipping Mode.
In this mode, the device has two states, working
state and idle state. First, the device enters into
working state controlled by internal error
amplifier.When the feedback voltage gets higher
than internal reference voltage, the device will
enter into low I_Q idle state with most of internal
blocks disabled. The output voltage will be
reduced by loading or leakage current. When the
feedback voltage gets lower than the internal
reference voltage, the convertor will start a
working state again.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
As the input voltage approaches the output
voltage, the converter turns the P-channel
transistor continuously on. In this mode the
output voltage is equal to the input voltage minus
the voltage drop across the P - channel
transistor:
V_OUT = V_IN –I_LOAD (R_dson + R_L)
where R_dson = P-channel switch ON resistance,
I_LOAD = Output current, R_L = Inductor DC
resistance
UVLO and Soft-Start
The reference and the circuit remain reset until
the VIN crosses its UVLO threshold.
The PAM2316 has an internal soft-start circuit
that limits the in-rush current during start-up.
This prevents possible voltage drops of the input
voltage and eliminates the output voltage
overshoot.
Short Circuit Protection
When the converter output is shorted or the
device is overloaded,each high-side MOSFET
current-limit event (3A typ) turns off the high-side
MOSFET and turns on the low-side MOSFET. A
internal counter is used to count the each
current-limit event. The counter is reset after
consecutive high-side MOSFETs turn on without
reaching current limit. If the current-limit
condition persists, the counter fills up. The
control logic then stops both high-side and low-
side MOSFETs and waits for a hiccup period,
before attemping a new soft-start sequence. The
counter bits is decided by Vfb voltage. If Vfb≤
0.2, the counter is 3-bit counter; if Vfb>0.2 the
counter is 6-bit counter. The typical hicuup made
duty cycle is 1.7%. The hicuup mode is disable
during soft-start time.
Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature exceeds 150°C, a
reset occurs and the reset remains until the
temperature decrease to 120°C, at which time
the circuit can be restarted.
