Product details
Overview
ST1PS02DQTR from STMicroelectronics is a nano-quiescent (500 nA) synchronous step-down converter in TQFN12 package, delivering up to 400 mA output current with 1.0 V–1.35 V digitally selectable output voltage, ±1.5% accuracy at 25 °C, and integrated Power Good flag and auxiliary load switch (Vout2). It targets ultra-low-power wearable systems powered by single-cell Li-Ion batteries.
For engineers reviewing the ST1PS02DQTR datasheet, ST1PS02DQTR pinout, ST1PS02DQTR application, or ST1PS02DQTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 nA quiescent current at 3.6 V input, 92% efficiency at 10 mA (VIN=3.6 V, VOUT=2.5 V), dynamic D0/D1/D2 voltage selection, AUX-controlled 100 mA auxiliary rail, and 100% duty cycle operation near VOUT.
Technical Context
The ST1PS02DQTR implements peak current control (PCC) with seamless PFM/PWM mode transition, enabling high efficiency down to microampere loads and fast load transient response. Its hysteretic comparator senses coil ripple current to maintain constant ripple across input and load variations.
It integrates a fixed soft-start ramp (1.7 ms typical), embedded output discharge MOSFET (30 Ω), undervoltage lockout (1.57 V falling threshold), and configurable current limit via CL pin (850 mA default, adjustable down to 180 mA with external resistor).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 500 nA at VIN = 3.6 V, no switching - enables multi-year battery life in always-on wearables |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.00 V to 1.35 V in 50 mV steps via D0/D1/D2 - supports low-voltage MCU cores and sensors |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.5% at TA = 25 °C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.2 V I/O domains |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA - sufficient for mixed-signal SoCs and BLE radio bursts |
| Efficiency | 92% at 10 mA, VIN=3.6 V, VOUT=2.5 V - minimizes thermal rise in sealed enclosures |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-Ion (2.7–4.2 V) plus headroom for cold start |
| PGOOD Threshold | 97.5% of selected VOUT - provides precise power-rail validation before system wake-up |
| AUX Load Switch | Vout2 delivers same regulated voltage as VOUT (≤100 mA, 0.75 Ω RAUX) - enables independent subsystem power gating |
Pinout & Package
TQFN12 package (2.0 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.55 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for PCB heat dissipation and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AUX | Auxiliary output enable | High-level logic activates Vout2 rail; tied low disables auxiliary output |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires 10 µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor |
| SW | Switch node | Connects internal high/low-side MOSFETs to 2.2 µH inductor; critical for EMI layout |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common reference for all analog/digital blocks; must connect to exposed thermal pad |
| VOUT | Feedback sense input | Direct connection to inductor output node enables accurate regulation without external divider |
| Vout2 | Auxiliary regulated output | Provides same VOUT voltage minus 750 mΩ drop; supports independent load switching |
| PGOOD | Open-drain Power Good flag | High-impedance when VOUT ≥ 97.5% target; requires external pull-up for host monitoring |
| CL | Current limit threshold | Ground sets 850 mA default; resistor to GND scales limit down to 180 mA for safety-critical loads |
| D0–D2 | Digital voltage select inputs | Three-bit code selects one of eight output voltages (1.00–1.35 V); dynamically reconfigurable |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic; must be driven - floating causes undefined behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nano-quiescent operation | 500 nA IQ enables >10-year battery life in energy-harvesting sensor nodes |

| Integrated auxiliary load switch | Vout2 delivers regulated voltage with 0.75 Ω on-resistance and controlled 300–600 µs ramp time |
| 100% duty cycle mode | Enables dropout-free operation when VIN approaches VOUT, extending usable battery range |
| Embedded soft-start & discharge | 1.7 ms startup delay prevents inrush; 30 Ω discharge MOSFET rapidly collapses VOUT on shutdown |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ST1PS02DQTR to start switching?
The device enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) below 1.57 V (typical falling threshold). It begins switching once VIN rises above 1.63 V (typical rising threshold), ensuring stable internal biasing before regulation commences. Below this, EN remains inactive and SW stays high-impedance.
Can ST1PS02DQTR operate with a 1.0 V output while powered from a 1.8 V input?
Yes - ST1PS02DQTR supports 1.0 V output (D2=1, D1=1, D0=0) with 1.8 V input. Its 100% duty cycle mode engages when VIN drops near VOUT, maintaining regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 200 mV. At 1.8 V input, it operates in PWM mode with full efficiency.
How does the CL pin affect overcurrent protection during short-circuit events?
When CL is grounded, high-side MOSFET current limit defaults to 850 mA (typ). Adding a resistor between CL and GND lowers the limit: 1 MΩ yields ~650 mA, 2.2 MΩ yields ~250 mA. During overload, the device limits peak switch current to this value and shuts down VOUT if 100% mode is active.
Is the Vout2 auxiliary output internally discharged when AUX is pulled low?
No - Vout2 is only actively discharged when EN is low (shutdown) or UVLO triggers. When AUX is low but EN is high, Vout2 is simply disabled (high-impedance), and any connected load must provide its own discharge path. The internal discharge MOSFET is not tied to AUX logic.
