Product details
Overview
SRC0CS25D from STMicroelectronics is a smart push-button on/off controller with Smart Reset™ and power-on lockout, designed for ultra-low-power wearable systems. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, draws only 0.6 µA in standby, features a precise 1.5 V ±1% voltage reference, and supports debounced PB/SR inputs with ±15 kV air-discharge ESD protection. It controls system power via an active-high EN or active-low EN output driving MOSFETs or DC-DC converters in activity trackers and smartwatches.
For engineers reviewing the SRC0CS25D datasheet, SRC0CS25D pinout, SRC0CS25D application, or SRC0CS25D equivalent, key selection criteria include tON_BLANK timing compliance for secure startup, CSRD capacitor-based Smart Reset™ delay tuning, PSHOLD confirmation logic for fail-safe power-up, and open-drain vs. push-pull output configuration options for interfacing with microcontrollers and power stages.
Technical Context
The SRC0CS25D implements dual-stage power sequencing: first, it validates VCC > VTH+ (typ. 3.4 V) over tDEBOUNCE (min. 15 ms), then requires PSHOLD assertion before PB release to sustain EN/EN. Its Smart Reset™ function uses external CSRD capacitance to set tSRD (Smart Reset Delay), enabling configurable long-push detection for either RST assertion or EN deassertion.
Internally, it integrates independent comparators for VTH+ and VTH– (hysteresis 200 mV), glitch-immune edge detectors for PB and SR, and a dedicated 1.5 V reference with <1% accuracy across –40 °C to +85 °C. All outputs except EN are open-drain; EN is push-pull by default, supporting direct drive of high-side MOSFET gates or enable pins of buck regulators.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: TDFN12 (2 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Monitored for VTH+ (3.4 V typ.) during startup; decoupling with 0.1 µF capacitor required. |
| SR | Smart Reset™ input | Active-low input with internal optional 100 kΩ pull-up; detects simultaneous long press with PB for reset or shutdown. |
| VREF | Precise 1.5 V reference output | Stable ±1% reference enabled post-reset; requires mandatory 1 µF bypass capacitor even if unused. |
| PSHOLD | Power Supply Hold confirmation | Internal pull-down during startup; must be driven high by MCU within tON_BLANK to sustain EN/EN. |
| CSRD | Smart Reset™ delay timing | Capacitor-to-ground sets tSRD; charging current ISRD determines delay; no cap = immediate long-push recognition. |
| PB | Push-button input | Active-low input with internal 100 kΩ pull-up; initiates power-up, interrupt, or long-push sequence. |
| VCCLO | High-threshold comparator output | Open-drain active-low flag indicating VCC < VTH+; used for undervoltage warning or system halt. |
| PBOUT | Debounced PB status | Open-drain output mirroring PB state after tDEBOUNCE; distinguishes PB-driven interrupts from VCC faults. |
| EN / EN | System power enable | Push-pull EN (high-active) or open-drain EN (low-active); drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET or enable pin of DC-DC. |
| RST | Reset signal output | Open-drain active-low reset pulse (tREC duration) triggered at power-up or long PB+SR press (option-dependent). |
| INT | Interrupt output | Open-drain active-low interrupt asserted on PB press or VCC drop below VTH–; PBOUT used to decode source. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all signals and power; connected to exposed thermal pad for thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart Reset™ delay tuning | External CSRD capacitor sets tSRD independently of internal timing - enables field-adjustable long-press behavior without firmware change. |
| Secure power-on lockout | tON_BLANK window forces MCU to assert PSHOLD before PB release - prevents boot failure from switch chatter or unresponsive processors. |
| Dual-source interrupt signaling | Single INT pin reports both PB press and VCC undervoltage; PBOUT status differentiates cause - reduces GPIO count on resource-constrained MCUs. |
| Factory-trimmed voltage thresholds | VTH+ = 3.4 V (typ.), VTH– = 3.2 V (typ.), hysteresis = 200 mV - eliminates external resistor dividers for battery monitoring in space-constrained designs. |
| Ultra-low standby consumption | 0.6 µA at VCC = 3.6 V, TA = 25 °C - extends battery life in always-listening wearable modes such as motion wake-up or NFC polling. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the PSHOLD pin and how must it be driven?
The PSHOLD pin enforces secure startup by requiring the host MCU to drive it high within the fixed tON_BLANK window after PB press. During power-up, an internal pull-down holds PSHOLD low; failure to assert it before PB release causes EN/EN deassertion. This prevents boot from faulty switches or hung processors, ensuring only validated power-ups proceed.
How does the CSRD capacitor affect Smart Reset™ behavior?
The CSRD capacitor sets the Smart Reset™ delay time tSRD by controlling charge time to VSRD threshold using internal ISRD current. Larger capacitance increases tSRD linearly, extending the PB+SR hold time required to trigger RST or EN deassertion. If left unconnected, tSRD = 0 and long-push recognition begins immediately after tINT_Min expires.
Can the SRC0CS25D drive a high-side N-channel MOSFET directly?
Yes - the EN output is push-pull and rated for 5.5 V operation, enabling direct gate drive of high-side N-MOSFETs without level-shifting. For EN (active-low), an external pull-up is required. The 0.6 µA standby current ensures minimal leakage impact on battery life when the MOSFET is off.
Is the 1.5 V VREF output mandatory to use, and what happens if it's unused?
VREF requires a mandatory 1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground regardless of usage - omission risks instability or malfunction. When unused, the reference remains enabled post-reset but draws negligible current. It is disabled automatically in standby mode, eliminating unnecessary power draw in battery-critical applications.
