Product details
Overview
ST1S10PUR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator IC delivering up to 3 A output current, operating from 2.5 V to 18 V input, with adjustable output voltage down to 0.8 V and fixed 900 kHz (or 400–1.2 MHz synchronizable) switching frequency. It integrates PMOS/NMOS power switches, supports inhibit control, and achieves 90% typical efficiency in consumer and industrial point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the ST1S10PUR datasheet, ST1S10PUR pinout, ST1S10PUR application, or ST1S10PUR equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency, compact 3 A buck conversion where thermal performance, light-load pulse-skipping operation, and external frequency synchronization are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The ST1S10PUR implements current-mode PWM control with internal soft-start (275 µs typ.), cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and dynamic short-circuit protection triggered by output fault detection. Its dual-VIN architecture separates analog supply (VIN_A) from power-switch supply (VIN_SW), reducing noise coupling and improving regulation stability.
It operates in pulse-skipping mode at light loads and transitions seamlessly to fixed-frequency PWM under higher load, maintaining >85% efficiency from 100 mA to 3 A. The feedback reference is trimmed to ±2% DC tolerance (776–824 mV over temperature), and thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C with 15 °C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 3 A continuous - supports high-current FPGA core rails or motor driver pre-regulation without external MOSFETs. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 18 V - enables direct use with 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and automotive battery-supplied systems. |
| Output voltage range | 0.8 V to 0.85 × VIN_SW - allows precise low-voltage core supplies (e.g., 0.85 V for modern SoCs) while limiting max duty cycle to 90%. |
| Switching frequency | 900 kHz fixed or 400–1.2 MHz synchronizable - permits EMI control and small external LC components (e.g., 3.3 µH inductor + 22 µF ceramic). |
| Feedback reference | 800 mV ±2% (776–824 mV over −40 to 125 °C) - ensures stable output regulation across industrial temperature range. |
| Quiescent current | 6 µA max in shutdown - enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on embedded systems. |
| Efficiency | 90% typical at full 3 A load - reduces thermal load and eliminates need for heatsinking in PowerSO-8 package. |
Pinout & Package
ST1S10PUR is housed in PowerSO-8 package (exposed pad), offering low thermal resistance (RthJC = 12 °C/W) for high-power density designs. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN_A | Analog supply input | Powers internal bias circuitry; decoupled separately (0.1 µF ceramic) to minimize noise on control loop. |
| 2 INH (EN) | Inhibit enable input | Active-low logic control (0.4 V threshold); tie to VIN_A if unused to ensure default ON operation. |
| 3 VFB | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors resistor divider output; 800 mV reference sets VOUT = 0.8 V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 4 AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for feedback and control circuitry; must be star-connected to PGND near IC. |
| 5 SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts external clock (400–1.2 MHz) or GND for 900 kHz fixed operation; enables multi-rail EMI alignment. |
| 6 VIN_SW | Power switch supply input | High-current path for PMOS/NMOS switching; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor (≥4.7 µF) placed adjacent to pin. |
| 7 SW | Switching node | Connects directly to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace length and guard ring to reduce EMI. |
| 8 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for NMOS switch and inductor; tied to exposed pad and system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated PMOS (0.12 Ω) and NMOS (0.10 Ω) switches eliminate Schottky diode loss, enabling >90% efficiency even at 0.8 V output. |
| Current-mode PWM control | Provides inherent loop stability with ceramic output capacitors, no external compensation required. |
| Dynamic short-circuit protection | Detects output faults within microseconds and limits peak switch current to 5 A, preventing latch-up or thermal runaway. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150 °C junction temperature and re-enables only after cooling by ≥15 °C, avoiding oscillatory restart. |
| Pulse-skipping at light load | Reduces quiescent current to 6 µA while maintaining regulated output, extending battery life in standby modes. |
Applications
| Consumer Electronics Power Rails | Industrial FPGA Core Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 2.5–36 V input, 3 A, 500 kHz fixed frequency, no SYNC pin, lower quiescent current (22 µA active) | Lacks frequency synchronization and has wider input range but no inhibit function | Preferred when EMI alignment is unnecessary and input exceeds 18 V; not suitable for synchronized multi-rail systems. |
| TPS54331DR | 3.5–28 V input, 3 A, 570 kHz fixed frequency, external compensation, no integrated NMOS | Requires external high-side MOSFET and compensation network; higher BOM count | Chosen when design requires adjustable loop bandwidth or operation above 125 °C junction temperature. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS54331DR, ST1S10PUR uniquely combines 900 kHz fixed/synchronizable operation, true inhibit control, and fully integrated synchronous switches in a thermally optimized PowerSO-8 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, EMI-sensitive, and thermally demanding 3 A buck applications.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor configuration for ST1S10PUR?
Use separate capacitors: ≥4.7 µF low-ESR ceramic on VIN_SW (rated ≥1.5× max input voltage) and 0.1 µF ceramic on VIN_A. Place both as close as possible to respective pins. For high-impedance sources or >100 µF output capacitance, increase VIN_SW to ≥10 µF and VIN_A to ≥1 µF to manage RMS current and startup surge.
How does the ST1S10PUR handle output short-circuit conditions?
It employs dynamic short-circuit protection that detects output faults within microseconds and limits peak switch current to 5 A. Recovery is automatic after fault removal, with no latch-off behavior. For high-capacitive loads (>100 µF), Section 5.8.5 of the datasheet mandates modified capacitor selection to prevent false triggering during startup.
Can ST1S10PUR operate with an output voltage below 1.0 V?
Yes - the device supports output voltages as low as 0.8 V via the VFB pin and external resistor divider. However, duty cycle must remain ≤90% (per datasheet Equation 7), so minimum input voltage must satisfy VIN > VOUT / 0.85. At 0.8 V output, VIN must exceed ~0.94 V - but practical operation starts at VIN ≥2.5 V per absolute ratings.
Is thermal derating required for continuous 3 A operation in PowerSO-8 package?
At 3 A and 12 V input → 3.3 V output, junction temperature rise is ~45 °C above ambient (using RthJA = 40 °C/W). With ambient ≤80 °C, TJ stays below 125 °C - no derating needed. For ambient >80 °C or higher input-output differentials, reduce load current or enhance PCB copper area under the exposed pad to maintain safe operation.
