Product details
Overview
ST1S15TPUR from STMicroelectronics is a 500 mA, 6 MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in DFN6 (2 × 2 mm) package, delivering fixed 1.82 V output from 2.3–5.5 V input. It features PFM/PWM mode selection via dedicated MODE pin, 45 µA quiescent current in PFM, and ultra-fast load/line transient response-designed for DSP and multimedia processor core supplies in space-constrained portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the ST1S15TPUR datasheet, ST1S15TPUR pinout, ST1S15TPUR application, or ST1S15TPUR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.82 V fixed output, 6 MHz switching frequency enabling 470 nH inductor use, auto/forced PWM capability, thermal & short-circuit protection, and DFN6 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ST1S15TPUR employs a fixed-frequency PWM architecture with automatic transition to PFM at light loads, controlled by an external MODE pin. Its internal block includes dual MOSFET power switches (Pch/Nch), analog timing circuitry for PFM pulses, error amplifier with separate Vref_PWM/Vref_PFM references, and integrated soft-start activated on UVLO exit or EN assertion.
Protection functions are tightly coupled: overcurrent detection uses RDSON-based voltage sensing at SW node; thermal shutdown triggers at 125 °C with 30 °C hysteresis; undervoltage lockout activates below 2.1 V (rising) with 200 mV hysteresis; short-circuit recovery cycles through repeated soft-start sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.82 V ±2% accuracy over -40 to 85 °C, supporting low-voltage DSP core rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 6 MHz typical (5.4–6.6 MHz range), enabling compact 470 nH inductors and minimizing EMI filtering needs. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous, limited by internal peak current threshold (900–1200 mA) and thermal resistance (80 °C/W junction-to-ambient). |
| Quiescent Current | 45 µA typical in PFM mode, extending battery life in standby; 15 mA in forced PWM mode. |
| Efficiency | 83% typical at 150 mA (VIN = 3.6 V, VOUT = 1.82 V, PWM mode), critical for thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| Output Ripple | 10 mV peak-to-peak in PWM mode (IOUT = 150 mA), ensuring stable core voltage for high-speed digital logic. |
| Load Transient Response | ±50 mV deviation for 0→150 mA step (tR/tF = 0.1 µs), maintaining processor stability during burst-mode operation. |
Pinout & Package
ST1S15TPUR is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN6 (2 × 2 mm) package with exposed pad (EPAD) for ground connection and improved heat dissipation. The 6-pin layout supports high-density routing and low-inductance power paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input and IC supply | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; connects to input capacitor and high-side switch source; must be decoupled within 2 mm. |
| EN | Enable control (positive logic) | Pulled high (>1.2 V) to activate; pulled low (<0.4 V) to shut down (ISHDN < 5 µA); no internal pull-up. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for VIN, SW, FB, EN, MODE; EPAD must be soldered to solid ground plane. |
| FB | Feedback input | High-impedance node monitoring output voltage divider; routed away from SW and inductor to avoid noise coupling. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects internal Pch/Nch MOSFETs to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace to minimize ringing. |
| MODE | Operation mode selection | Low = auto PFM/PWM transition; High = forced PWM; floating not allowed-must be tied to GND or VIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto/forced PWM mode selection | Dedicated MODE pin enables deterministic control of efficiency vs. regulation trade-off without external circuitry. |
| Ultra-fast transient response | ±50 mV load step deviation ensures stable core voltage during CPU frequency scaling in mobile SoCs. |
| Integrated thermal & short-circuit protection | Hysteresis-based shutdown (125 °C trip, 95 °C recovery) and automatic soft-start retry prevent latch-up during faults. |
| 6 MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables use of small 470 nH shielded inductors and 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| 45 µA PFM quiescent current | Extends battery runtime in always-on subsystems (e.g., baseband processors in sleep mode) without compromising wake-up latency. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS62231DRYR | 3 MHz switching frequency, 300 mA output, adjustable output (0.6–5.5 V) via external resistors. | Requires external feedback network; lower current rating limits use in high-performance processor cores. | Select when adjustable output and smaller solution size (1.5 × 1.5 mm DSBGA) outweigh fixed 1.82 V and 500 mA capability. |
| Analog Devices ADP2301AUJZ-1.8-R7 | Fixed 1.8 V output, 600 mA rating, but 1.4 MHz switching frequency and larger 6-lead TSOT-23 package. | Higher EMI and larger inductor (2.2 µH) required; less suitable for ultra-thin portable designs. | Select when higher output current margin and proven industrial temperature range (-40 to 125 °C) are prioritized over PCB area and transient performance. |

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value and type for ST1S15TPUR?
The datasheet specifies a nominal 470 nH shielded inductor (e.g., Murata LQM21PNR47MC0D, 2.0 × 1.25 × 0.5 mm) with saturation current >1.2 A. X5R/X7R ceramic input/output capacitors (4.7 µF each) are required to maintain stability and achieve specified ripple and transient performance.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and regulation performance?
When MODE is grounded, ST1S15TPUR automatically transitions between PFM (high efficiency at light loads) and PWM (tight regulation at heavy loads). When MODE is tied to VIN, it forces continuous PWM operation-improving load regulation and transient response but increasing quiescent current from 45 µA to 15 mA.
Can ST1S15TPUR be used with input voltages below 2.3 V?
No. The absolute minimum operating input voltage is 2.3 V per datasheet specifications. Below this, undervoltage lockout engages (UVLO threshold = 2.1 V rising), disabling the device. Attempting operation below 2.3 V risks unstable regulation or failure to start.
Is the exposed pad (EPAD) on the DFN6 package electrically connected to ground?
Yes-the EPAD is internally connected to the GND terminal and must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane. This connection provides both electrical grounding and thermal conduction; omitting it degrades thermal resistance by >30% and risks thermal shutdown under full load.
