Product details
Overview
ST1PS02B1QTR from STMicroelectronics is a nano-quiescent (500 nA), synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in TQFN12 package, delivering up to 400 mA output current with 1.8–5.5 V input range and digitally selectable 1.8–2.5 V output (100 mV steps). It integrates Power Good flag, auxiliary load switch (Vout2), and 100% duty cycle operation for ultra-low-power wearable and energy-harvesting systems.
For engineers reviewing the ST1PS02B1QTR datasheet, ST1PS02B1QTR pinout, ST1PS02B1QTR application, or ST1PS02B1QTR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed efficiency curves at microamp loads, and real-world selection guidance for battery-constrained IoT endpoints.
Technical Context
The ST1PS02B1QTR uses peak current control (PCC) architecture with seamless PFM/PWM transition, enabling stable regulation down to 10 µA load while maintaining 92% efficiency at 10 mA (VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 2.5 V). Its hysteretic comparator senses coil ripple current to sustain constant ripple across input and load variations.
It embeds three independent control paths: digital voltage selection (D0–D2) for dynamic VOUT scaling, AUX-controlled soft-started Vout2 load switch (100 mA max, 0.75 Ω typical RAUX), and CL-pin-adjustable current limit (850 mA typ. default, down to 250 mA with external resistor).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 500 nA at VIN = 3.6 V (non-switching), enabling multi-year battery life in always-on wearables |
| Efficiency | 92% at 10 mA load (VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 2.5 V), minimizing thermal rise in sealed enclosures |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 2.5 V in 100 mV steps via D0/D1/D2 pins - no external resistors required |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), coin cells, and energy harvesters |
| Output Current | Up to 400 mA continuous - sufficient for BLE SoCs, sensors, and low-power displays |
| Power Good Threshold | 97.5% of selected VOUT - ensures reliable system boot before firmware initialization |
| Undervoltage Lockout | 1.57 V (VIN falling, typ.) - prevents brownout operation during battery depletion |
| Auxiliary Output | Vout2 provides same regulated rail as VOUT (≤100 mA, 0.75 Ω RAUX) - enables subsystem power gating |
Pinout & Package
TQFN12 (2.0 × 1.7 × 0.55 mm) package with wettable flanks, ECOPACK® compliant, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained wearables.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AUX | Auxiliary output enable | Logic-high activates Vout2; internal soft-start prevents inrush on subsystem power-up |
| VIN | Main input supply | 1.8–5.5 V input; requires 10 µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor for ripple suppression |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to 2.2 µH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - must be routed short and wide |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common reference for all analog/digital blocks; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
| VOUT | Feedback sense input | Direct connection to inductor output node - critical for ±1.5% output accuracy and stability |
| Vout2 | Auxiliary regulated output | Same voltage as VOUT minus RAUX·ILOAD; supports independent subsystem power control |
| PGOOD | Open-drain Power Good flag | High-impedance when VOUT ≥ 97.5% target - requires external pull-up for MCU reset or sequencing |
| CL | Current limit threshold | Pull-to-GND sets 850 mA default; resistor divider allows precise OCP tuning down to 250 mA |
| D0–D2 | Digital voltage select inputs | Three-bit code selects 1.8–2.5 V in 100 mV steps; dynamically reconfigurable during operation |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic; must not float - ties to host MCU GPIO for full system power management |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nano-quiescent operation | 500 nA IQ enables >10-year shelf life in coin-cell-powered trackers without shutdown circuitry |
| Digital VOUT selection | Hardware-configurable 1.8–2.5 V outputs eliminate feedback resistor networks and layout sensitivity |
| Integrated auxiliary load switch | Vout2 delivers same regulated rail with controlled ramp (400–700 µs) - replaces discrete MOSFET + driver |
| 100% duty cycle mode | Direct VIN-to-VOUT conduction below dropout - extends usable battery range by ~150 mV |
| Embedded soft-start & discharge | Fixed 1.7 ms startup delay and GND-connected output discharge prevent voltage overshoot and backfeed |
| Adjustable overcurrent protection | CL pin supports resistor-based current limit tuning (250–850 mA) - matches diverse subsystem load profiles |
Applications
| Wearable Fitness Tracker | Bluetooth® Low Energy Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS62840YKAR | Lower IQ (300 nA), but fixed 1.8 V output only; no auxiliary switch or dynamic voltage selection | Suitable for static-rail designs where VOUT never changes; lacks subsystem power gating capability | Select when absolute lowest IQ is critical and voltage flexibility is unnecessary |
| Analog Devices ADP5302ACBZ-2-R7 | Higher IQ (1.2 µA), supports 1.2–3.3 V output via resistor divider; includes integrated LDO post-regulator | Better for noise-sensitive analog sensors, but larger solution size and higher standby loss | Select when ultra-low noise or dual-stage regulation justifies 2.4× higher quiescent current |
Compared with TPS62840YKAR and ADP5302ACBZ-2-R7, ST1PS02B1QTR uniquely balances nano-power operation, digital VOUT agility, and integrated auxiliary switching - making it optimal for multi-rail, dynamically scaled wearable systems where board area and battery longevity are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ST1PS02B1QTR to regulate 2.2 V output?
The device enters 100% duty cycle mode when VIN approaches VOUT; regulation is maintained down to VIN = 2.2 V + Vth100%- ≈ 2.4 V (typ.). Below 2.4 V, output follows VIN minus RDS(on) drop. The undervoltage lockout (1.57 V falling) disables operation entirely below that threshold, but regulation ceases earlier due to dropout constraints.
Can D0, D1, and D2 pins be left unconnected if a fixed 2.2 V output is needed?
No - D0–D2 must be actively driven high or low per Table 7. Floating these pins causes undefined VOUT and potential regulation failure. For 2.2 V output, tie D2=HIGH, D1=LOW, D0=LOW. A pull-up/pull-down network is mandatory; no internal terminations exist.
How does the CL pin adjust current limit, and what resistor value sets 500 mA?
CL pin voltage sets ILIM1 threshold: grounding CL yields 850 mA (typ.); adding a resistor to GND lowers it. Per Table 6, for ST1PS02BQTR at VIN = 3.6 V, R2 = 1 MΩ gives 650 mA typ., and R2 = 2.2 MΩ gives 250 mA typ. To achieve ~500 mA, interpolate: use ≈1.5 MΩ resistor between CL and GND.
Is the Vout2 auxiliary output internally discharged when AUX is low?
Yes - when AUX is pulled low, the internal discharge MOSFET (Rdisc2 = 30–50 Ω) actively pulls Vout2 to GND. This prevents back-powering of disabled subsystems and ensures clean power sequencing. Discharge occurs within microseconds after AUX deassertion, as confirmed in Figure 24.
