Product details
Overview
ST1S32PUR from STMicroelectronics is a 4 A synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator with 2.8–5.5 V input, adjustable 0.8 V output, 1.5 MHz fixed-frequency PWM control, integrated 60 mΩ high-side and 45 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, and Power Good (PG) monitoring - used in FPGA core supplies and point-of-load regulation for consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the ST1S32PUR datasheet, ST1S32PUR pinout, ST1S32PUR application, or ST1S32PUR equivalent, key selection criteria include peak current mode stability, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and VFDFPN 8 4×4×1.0 mm thermal performance at 4 A continuous load.
Technical Context
The ST1S32PUR implements peak current mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its transconductance error amplifier (gm = 238 μA/V, DC gain = 94 dB) features fully embedded RC/CC compensation (RC = 80 kΩ, CC = 55 pF), delivering 117 kHz bandwidth and 63° phase margin under typical 5 VIN/1.2 VOUT/4 A conditions.
It integrates UVLO (2.0 V turn-off, 2.4 V turn-on), hysteretic thermal shutdown (150 °C trip, 130 °C recovery), and dual-stage overcurrent protection: cycle-by-cycle limiting at 5.0 A followed by current foldback (2.3 A limit) with frequency reduction when FB falls below 0.2 V - enabling robust short-circuit survival without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 4 A continuous - supports high-current FPGA I/O rails and ASIC core domains without external current boosting. |
| Input voltage range | 2.8 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V/5 V system rails, and intermediate bus architectures. |
| Switching frequency | 1.5 MHz (typ.) - enables compact 1.0 µH inductors and small ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 47 µF MLCC). |
| Feedback reference | 0.8 V ±1% - sets precise output regulation; external resistor divider allows scalable VOUT from 0.8 V to VIN. |
| Power Good threshold | 92% of VFB (≈0.736 V at 0.8 V ref) with 170 µs delay - provides reliable power sequencing for µP reset assertion. |
| On-resistance (HS/LS) | 60 mΩ / 45 mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at 4 A, enabling >90% efficiency at 1.2 VOUT/3 A with proper layout. |
| Soft-start duration | 400 µs - controls inrush current during startup, preventing input rail sag and downstream supply brownouts. |
Pinout & Package
ST1S32PUR is housed in a thermally enhanced VFDFPN 8 4×4×1.0 mm package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) for PCB-level heat dissipation. The 0.5 mm pitch leads support fine-pitch routing and high-density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINA | Unregulated input bypass | Accepts local 330 nF–1 µF ceramic decoupling; minimizes noise coupling into analog feedback path. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible input (ON ≥1.5 V, OFF ≤0.5 V); internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state. |
| FB | Feedback sensing | High-impedance node referenced to 0.8 V internal bandgap; connects to resistor divider for output voltage programming. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Separate ground return for FB, EN, and PG to avoid switching noise injection into control loop. |
| PG | Open-drain Power Good | Signals valid regulation after 170 µs delay; requires external pull-up for µP reset or sequencing logic. |
| VINSW | Main power input | High-current VIN path feeding HS FET; must be routed with low-inductance, wide copper pour adjacent to SW. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor and boot capacitor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal parasitic capacitance. |
| PGND | Power ground | Low-impedance return for HS/LS FETs and inductor; tied to thermal pad for optimal junction-to-PCB thermal resistance (40 °C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-ceramic capacitor support | Eliminates electrolytic/tantalum requirements - reduces board area, improves reliability, and avoids ESR-related instability. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 60 mΩ HS + 45 mΩ LS switches enable self-contained 4 A buck conversion without external drivers or discrete FETs. |
| Current foldback protection | Automatically reduces switching frequency and limits peak current to 2.3 A during overload - sustains regulated operation without latch-off. |
| Internal soft-start | 400 µs ramp prevents inrush-induced voltage droop on shared input rails and avoids false PG assertion. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 150 °C trip / 130 °C recovery prevents thermal runaway while allowing automatic recovery after transient overload cooling. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54332DR | 3 A rated, 0.8 V ref, 1.0 MHz switching, external MOSFETs required | Lacks integrated power FETs and PG output; requires additional components for 4 A operation | Select only if lower cost per watt justifies added BOM count and layout complexity. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 4 A rated, 0.8 V ref, 1.5 MHz, integrated FETs, but no PG output or current foldback | Missing Power Good signaling and foldback protection - unsuitable for safety-critical sequencing or short-circuit-prone environments | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced loads where thermal shutdown alone suffices. |
Compared with TPS54332DR and MP2315DJ-LF-Z, ST1S32PUR uniquely combines 4 A integration, PG signaling, and current foldback in a 4×4 mm VFDFPN package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability PoL systems requiring autonomous fault management.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for ST1S32PUR at 1.2 V output?
The datasheet specifies 47 µF multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) as the standard output capacitance for 1.2 V operation. This value ensures ≤1% output voltage ripple at 4 A load and maintains loop stability with the internal compensation network. Lower values may cause instability or excessive ripple; higher values improve transient response but increase cost and board area without proportional benefit.
Does ST1S32PUR require an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. ST1S32PUR uses a P-channel high-side MOSFET, eliminating the need for an external bootstrap capacitor or charge pump circuit. This simplifies layout, reduces component count, and improves reliability compared to N-channel-based synchronous buck controllers that mandate bootstrap networks.
How does the Power Good (PG) pin behave during startup and fault conditions?
The PG pin remains low until VOUT reaches 92% of its target (e.g., 1.104 V for 1.2 V output), then releases after a 170 µs delay. If VOUT drops below this threshold due to overload or input dropout, PG immediately pulls low. During thermal shutdown or OCP2 latch-off, PG also asserts low - providing unambiguous system-level fault indication without external monitoring.
Can ST1S32PUR operate with input voltage below 2.8 V?
No. Absolute maximum ratings specify -0.3 V to 7 V input, but functional operation is guaranteed only from 2.8 V to 5.5 V. Below 2.8 V, UVLO disables the regulator (VEN remains above 0.5 V but internal bias fails), and output regulation cannot be maintained. For sub-2.8 V inputs, consider ST1S12 or other dedicated low-VIN buck converters.
