Product details
Overview
IPS2050HQ-32 from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel high-side switch IC designed for industrial load driving with smart capacitive-load handling and extended diagnostics. It operates from 8 V to 60 V, delivers up to 5.6 A per channel (steady-state), features ≤50 mΩ RDS(on) at TJ = 125 °C, and integrates per-channel overload/over-temperature fault reporting via dedicated current-source FLT pins. It is used in programmable logic controllers to safely drive solenoids and relay coils under harsh EMI conditions.
For engineers reviewing the IPS2050HQ-32 datasheet, IPS2050HQ-32 pinout, IPS2050HQ-32 application, or IPS2050HQ-32 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-threshold overcurrent protection (IPKH-X/IPKL-X), active demagnetization voltage (VDEMAG = VCC−72.5 V), case temperature shutdown (TCSD = 130 °C), and PowerSSO-24 package thermal resistance (Rth(JC) = 0.7 °C/W).
Technical Context
The IPS2050HQ-32 implements two independent high-side power switches with embedded junction and case temperature sensing, enabling hierarchical thermal protection: channel-level shutdown at TJSD = 150–190 °C and system-level shutdown at TCSD = 130 °C. Each channel supports configurable overload response via IPD pin biasing-capacitor-coupled for dual-threshold timing (DPKX = 215 × CPD), resistor-biased for single-level thresholds (IPKL-X = 10.5 A or IPKH-X = 19.8 A).
Its active clamp circuit provides fast demagnetization of inductive loads by pulling OUTX to VCC−VDEMAG (VDEMAG = 72.5 V typ.), limiting voltage stress during turn-off. Fault signaling uses open-drain current-source FLT pins (IHFLT = −3 mA typ. at VFLT = 1 V) with 60–400 µs blanking time to reject noise-induced false triggers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 8 V to 60 V - Enables direct connection to 24 V/48 V industrial rails without external regulation. |
| Max Output Current (per channel) | 5.6 A steady-state - Supports high-power solenoids and motor starters without external heatsinking at moderate ambient. |
| RDS(on) (max, TJ = 125 °C) | 50 mΩ - Limits conduction loss to ≤1.57 W at 5.6 A, reducing thermal burden in compact enclosures. |
| Overcurrent Thresholds | IPKH-X = 19.8 A / IPKL-X = 10.5 A - Dual thresholds allow inrush current tolerance for lamps while maintaining safe steady-state limits. |
| Demagnetization Voltage | VDEMAG = VCC−72.5 V (typ.) - Clamps inductive kickback below −48.5 V at 24 V supply, protecting MOSFETs and PCB traces. |
| Fault Pin Output | Current-source FLT (−3 mA typ. at 1 V) - Drives LED indicators or microcontroller inputs directly without pull-up resistors. |
| Thermal Shutdown Thresholds | TJSD = 150–190 °C; TCSD = 130 °C - Case-based shutdown prevents board-level thermal runaway before junction damage occurs. |
Pinout & Package
IPS2050HQ-32 is housed in a PowerSSO-24 package with exposed thermal pad for low Rth(JC) = 0.7 °C/W. The 24-pin layout includes dual-channel input (IN1/IN2), fault reporting (FLT1/FLT2), current-threshold configuration (IPD1/IPD2), dual output banks (OUT1: pins 13–20; OUT2: pins 5–12), supply (VCC: pin 1), ground (GND: pin 24), and NC pins (pins 25–34).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (pin 1) | Power supply input | Accepts 8–60 V; internal clamp activates at 70 V to prevent damage during transients. |
| IN1 / IN2 (pins 23 / 2) | Digital control inputs | CMOS-compatible (VIH ≥ 2.2 V); hysteresis of 0.4 V rejects noise on long PCB traces. |
| OUT1 / OUT2 (pins 13–20 / 5–12) | High-side power outputs | Parallel pins per channel reduce trace resistance and improve current sharing; must be shorted on PCB. |
| FLT1 / FLT2 (pins 21 / 4) | Fault diagnostic outputs | Active-low current-source pins (−3 mA) report overload/over-temperature; require 1.5 kΩ pull-down if unused. |
| IPD1 / IPD2 (pins 22 / 3) | Overcurrent threshold selector | Configures dual/single threshold mode via capacitor (470 pF–470 nF) or resistor (10 kΩ/220 kΩ) to GND or IN. |
| GND (pin 24) | Reference ground | Ground disconnection detection triggers immediate channel disable and ILGND ≤ 0.5 mA leakage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart dual-threshold overload protection | Enables lamp preheat (19.8 A peak) and sustained coil hold (10.5 A), eliminating need for external NTC or timing circuits. |
| Integrated active clamp demagnetization | Replaces external freewheeling diodes and snubbers, reducing BOM count and PCB area in relay/solenoid drivers. |
| Independent junction + case thermal monitoring | Prevents localized hot spots (via TJ sensor) and board-level overheating (via TC sensor), supporting IEC 61000-4-5 surge survivability. |
| IEC-compliant ESD/EMI robustness | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±8 kV contact), -4-4 (±2 kV EFT), and -4-5 (±2 kV surge) without external protection components. |
| Ground disconnection detection | Shuts down outputs within microseconds if GND is lost, preventing uncontrolled load energization in safety-critical systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPS2050H-32 | Same pinout and package; lower RDS(on) (≤30 mΩ @ 25 °C) but identical 5.6 A rating and protection features. | Preferred where lower conduction loss is critical at room temperature; less tolerant of sustained high-TJ due to tighter thermal margins. | Select IPS2050H-32 for thermally constrained enclosures with forced airflow; IPS2050HQ-32 for passive-cooled or high-ambient deployments. |
| TPS27082L | Single-channel, 8.5 A rated, 20 V max supply; lacks case temperature sensing, dual-threshold overload, and active clamp. | Suitable only for low-voltage, non-inductive loads; requires external TVS and thermal monitoring for industrial use. | Choose only for cost-sensitive 12 V applications without inductive loads or safety certification requirements. |
Compared with IPS2050H-32, the HQ-32 variant trades marginal RDS(on) increase for enhanced thermal robustness at high junction temperatures; versus TPS27082L, it delivers full industrial-grade protection (IEC 61000-4-x, dual thermal sensing, active clamp) in a dual-channel form factor, reducing component count by 50% in multi-load systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for IPS2050HQ-32?
The IPS2050HQ-32 supports 5.6 A continuous output current per channel under specified thermal conditions (TC ≤ 150 °C, Rth(JC) = 0.7 °C/W). This rating assumes proper PCB copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad. At TJ = 125 °C, RDS(on) remains ≤50 mΩ, limiting power dissipation to 1.57 W per channel.
How does the IPD pin configure overload protection behavior?
The IPD pin selects between dual-threshold (capacitor to GND), single-low-threshold (220 kΩ to IN), or single-high-threshold (10 kΩ to GND) modes. In dual mode, IPKH-X = 19.8 A activates for DPKX = 215 × CPD µs after IN transition, then reverts to IPKL-X = 10.5 A. Leaving IPD floating defaults to 1 µs DPKX.
Can IPS2050HQ-32 drive inductive loads without external components?
Yes - its integrated active clamp circuit provides fast demagnetization by pulling OUTX to VCC−72.5 V, eliminating the need for external freewheeling diodes or RC snubbers. This reduces component count and PCB area while ensuring controlled energy dissipation during inductive turn-off.
What fault conditions activate the FLT pins, and how are they electrically implemented?
FLT1/FLT2 activate as current sources (−3 mA typ. at 1 V) during per-channel overload, junction overtemperature (TJ > 150 °C), or case overtemperature (TC > 130 °C). They are not open-drain but actively sink current, allowing direct LED drive or microcontroller input assertion without pull-up resistors. Blanking time is 60–400 µs to suppress noise.
