Product details
Overview
PM6675STR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-output power management IC integrating a high-efficiency constant-on-time (COT) step-down controller and an independent 2 A peak-sink/source LDO regulator in a single VFQFPN-24 package. It supports 4.5–28 V input, delivers adjustable 0.6–3.3 V SMPS output (or fixed 1.5 V), and provides ±1 A or ±2 A programmable LDO current limit with dedicated power-good signals for both sections.
For engineers reviewing the PM6675STR datasheet, PM6675STR pinout, PM6675STR application, or PM6675STR equivalent, this device is selected for notebook CPU core voltage regulation, GPU auxiliary rail generation, embedded system multi-rail sequencing, and audio-sensitive applications requiring 33 kHz no-audible pulse-skip mode.
Technical Context
The SMPS section uses a COT architecture with RDS(ON)-based current sensing, enabling fast transient response without external sense resistors. Output ripple compensation via integrator-based error correction ensures stability with ceramic capacitors and maintains DC accuracy despite AC ripple.
The LDO section features independent soft-start/soft-end, remote sensing (LFB), and selectable ±1 A/±2 A current limits via LILIM pin. Both regulators provide open-drain PGOOD outputs (SPG/LPG) with ±10% window detection and latched OVP/UVP protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports wide-input industrial and computing rails including 5 V, 12 V, and 19 V adapter inputs. |
| SMPS Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V or adjustable 0.6 V–3.3 V - enables direct CPU/GPU core voltage setting or flexible point-of-load adjustment. |
| LDO Output Current Limit | Selectable ±1 A or ±2 A peak - allows matching load transients in memory I/O or analog subsystems without overdesign. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | 1.237 V ±1% - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and line variations for precision rails. |
| Switching Frequency | Configurable up to 600 kHz; 33 kHz minimum in No-Audible mode - eliminates audible noise in thin-client and portable designs. |
| Soft-Start Time | Internally fixed at 3 ms - prevents inrush current during power-up in multi-rail systems with strict sequencing requirements. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
VFQFPN-24 4×4 mm package with exposed thermal pad (PGND/LGND connected to pad); RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 LGND | LDO power ground | Low-impedance return path for LDO output current; must connect to thermal pad and local VTT capacitor ground. |
| 2 LFB | LDO remote sense | Enables accurate load regulation by sensing voltage directly at the load; requires short, low-noise PCB trace. |
| 3 NOSKIP | Mode selector | Configures PWM / Pulse-Skip / No-Audible (33 kHz) operation - critical for EMI and acoustic noise control. |
| 4 LPG | LDO power-good output | Open-drain signal asserted high when LDO output is within ±10% of target - used for system enable sequencing. |
| 5 SGND | Analog reference ground | Common reference for VREF, COMP, VSNS, and internal bandgap; must tie to thermal pad and low-impedance plane. |
| 6 AVCC | +5 V logic supply | Powers internal logic and control circuits; requires RC filter to suppress switching noise coupling. |
| 7 VREF | 1.237 V reference output | High-accuracy reference for feedback networks and multilevel pin thresholds; 100 nF bypass to SGND required. |
| 8 VOSC | Frequency selection | Resistor-divider input sets switching frequency; floating connection prohibited - ensures stable oscillator operation. |
| 9 VSNS | SMPS remote sense | Compensates for IR drop between regulator and load; connects directly to load for <±1% regulation accuracy. |
| 10 VSEL | Output mode select | Voltage >4 V selects fixed 1.5 V; <4 V enables adjustable mode using external resistor divider on VSEL/COMP. |
| 11 COMP | SMPS error amplifier output | Compensation node for loop stability; external RC network sets bandwidth and phase margin for ceramic output caps. |
| 12 LILIM | LDO current limit select | Tied to SGND for ±1 A, to +5 V for ±2 A - configures peak sink/source capability without external components. |
| 13 SWEN | SMPS enable | Active-high digital enable; pull low to disable SMPS with controlled soft-end discharge (25 Ω internal path). |
| 14 LEN | LDO enable | Active-high digital enable; pull low to disable LDO with independent soft-end discharge (25 Ω internal path). |
| 15 SPG | SMPS power-good output | Open-drain signal asserted high when SMPS output is within ±10% - used for processor reset or downstream enable. |
| 16 PGND | SMPS power ground | High-current return for HGATE/LGATE drivers and PHASE node; separate from LGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| 17 LGATE | Low-side gate driver | Drives synchronous rectifier MOSFET; 0.6–0.9 Ω pull-down resistance enables fast turn-off and shoot-through prevention. |
| 18 VCC | LGATE supply | +5 V supply for low-side driver; bypassed with 100 nF capacitor to PGND for clean gate drive waveform. |
| 19 CSNS | Current sense input | Connects to MOSFET drain to sense RDS(ON) voltage drop; sets current limit threshold without external shunt. |
| 20 PHASE | Switch node | Connection point between high/low-side MOSFETs; carries high di/dt; requires minimized loop area for EMI reduction. |
| 21 HGATE | High-side gate driver | Drives upper MOSFET; 1.8–2.7 Ω pull-down resistance ensures robust dead-time control and anti-cross-conduction. |
| 22 BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Provides floating supply for HGATE; requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and PHASE for reliable high-side drive. |
| 23 LIN | LDO input | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V input; bypassed with 10 µF ceramic capacitor to LGND for low-noise LDO operation. |
| 24 LOUT | LDO output | Delivers regulated output; requires 20 µF (2×10 µF MLCC) output capacitance for stability and transient response. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS51220ARUKT | Single-channel COT controller only; no integrated LDO - requires external linear regulator for second rail. | Lacks independent LDO PGOOD and soft-end; unsuitable for strict sequencing-critical applications. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefits and LDO functionality is handled externally. |
| ISL95831IRZ | Includes integrated MOSFETs (buck converter), but no LDO - higher integration at expense of flexibility and thermal separation. | Cannot support independent LDO current limiting or remote sensing; limited to fixed 1.5 V/1.05 V outputs. | Prefer for compact, low-component-count designs where LDO functionality is unnecessary or implemented separately. |
Compared with TPS51220ARUKT and ISL95831IRZ, PM6675STR uniquely combines a controller-grade SMPS with a fully featured 2 A LDO in one package, enabling true dual-rail independence, precise sequencing, and noise-isolated bias generation without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported SMPS output current for PM6675STR?
The PM6675STR is a controller IC-not a converter with integrated MOSFETs-so its SMPS output current is determined by external high/low-side MOSFET selection, inductor rating, and thermal design. With appropriate 30 V MOSFETs and 1 µH inductor, it reliably supports up to 8 A continuous output, as validated in typical application circuits and load transient waveforms (Fig. 25–28).
Can the LDO and SMPS sections operate independently?
Yes. The LDO (enabled via LEN pin) and SMPS (enabled via SWEN pin) have fully independent control, soft-start, soft-end, power-good signaling (LPG/SPG), and current limiting. They share only AVCC, SGND, and thermal substrate-enabling staggered startup, fault isolation, and mixed-mode operation (e.g., SMPS active while LDO disabled).
How is output voltage accuracy maintained with ceramic capacitors?
The PM6675STR embeds an integrator-based ripple compensation loop that actively cancels DC error induced by ceramic capacitor ESR zero. This is implemented in the COMP amplifier path and confirmed in Section 7.1.2 of the datasheet, ensuring ±1% regulation accuracy even with zero-ESR MLCCs across full load and line ranges.
Does PM6675STR support I²C or PMBus configuration?
No. PM6675STR is a hardware-configured analog controller: output voltages, current limits, and operating modes are set via resistor dividers (VSEL, VOSC), pin strapping (NOSKIP, LILIM), and external compensation (COMP). It lacks digital interfaces, serial configuration, or programmable registers.
