Description

The DIODES™ PAM8906 is a piezoelectric sounder driver with builtin

boost converter, capable of driving a piezo sounder with up to

36VPP output. With integrated boost converter, the PAM8906 can

provide an optimized solution with higher Sound Pressure Level

(SPL) for louder output sound, and lower quiescent current along

with auto turn-on/off feature for extended battery runtime. PAM8906

provides clear benefits for battery-operated piezoelectric sounder or

alarm related applications.

With the integrated boost converter and unique piezo sounder driver

technology, PAM8906 provides small inrush current, low EMI and yet

delivers high system efficiency. The integrated boost converter

switches at a fixed frequency of 1.8MHz and as a result, it can

operate with a small 0.47μH inductor.

The PAM8906 comes in three different Output Voltage (VOUT)

options: 10V, 12V, and 18V.

The PAM8906 can operate with an external PWM input or operate in

self-excitation mode (only 10V and 12V supported in this mode) for

various piezo sounder applications. It also features thermal shutdown

protection, over-current protection, over-voltage protection and

under-voltage-lockout protection to ensure safe system operation.

The PAM8906 is available in MSOP-10 package for smaller PCB

footprint and higher SMT yield.
