Product details
Overview
ST2044BDR from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel high-side power distribution switch featuring four independent 80mΩ N-channel MOSFETs, 500mA continuous current per channel, thermal and short-circuit protection with active-low OCx outputs, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It is used in multi-rail power management for industrial I/O modules and embedded systems with hot-swap requirements.
For engineers reviewing the ST2044BDR datasheet, ST2044BDR pinout, ST2044BDR application, or ST2044BDR equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel current limiting (0.9A trip), 10ms fault blanking, CMOS/TTL-compatible enable inputs, and SO-16 package thermal performance under sustained overload.
Technical Context
The ST2044BDR integrates an internal charge pump enabling full enhancement of its N-channel MOSFETs down to 2.7V supply, eliminating external gate-drive components. Each channel operates independently with dedicated ENx and OCx signals, supporting discrete control and fault reporting without shared logic.
Current limiting is implemented via internal sensing with 0.7–1.3A short-circuit threshold and constant-current foldback. Thermal shutdown activates at junction temperatures exceeding ~125°C, with automatic recovery after cooling - no latch or manual reset required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 80 mΩ typical at 5V/0.5A - enables low conduction loss and minimal self-heating at rated load |
| Continuous current | 500 mA per channel - supports stable power delivery to moderate-capacitance loads (e.g., USB peripherals, sensors) |
| Supply range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails without level-shifting |
| Rise time | 2.5 ms typical - limits inrush current during hot-plug events to prevent bus droop |
| Fault blanking | 10 ms deglitch on OCx - suppresses false overcurrent assertions during transient surges or insertion spikes |
| Standby current | 20 µA max - suitable for always-on subsystems requiring ultra-low quiescent power |
| Operating temp | −40°C to +85°C ambient - validated for industrial temperature-grade operation |
Pinout & Package
ST2044BDR is housed in a standard SO-16 (Small Outline, 16-pin) package with 1.27 mm pitch, ECOPACK® compliant, and rated for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | GNDA / GNDB | Dual ground pins reduce PCB trace inductance and improve thermal dissipation across the die |
| 2, 6 | IN1 / IN2 | Independent input voltage rails - allows dual-supply domain support (e.g., 3.3V and 5V channels) |
| 3–4, 7–8 | EN1–EN4 | Active-low enable inputs - direct interface with microcontroller GPIO without inverters |
| 9–12, 13, 16 | OC4–OC1 | Open-drain active-low overcurrent flags - each reports only its associated channel's fault state |
| 10–11, 14–15 | OUT4–OUT1 | Switched high-side outputs - routed to downstream loads with no external flyback path required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charge pump | Enables full gate drive from 2.7V supply - no external capacitors or boost circuitry needed |
| Per-channel protection | Independent thermal shutdown and current-limiting per switch - prevents single-point failure propagation |
| CMOS/TTL-compatible ENx | VIL ≤ 0.4 V (at 2.7–4.5 V supply) - ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic families |
| Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) | Activates below ~2.5 V with 100 mV hysteresis - avoids erratic switching during brown-out conditions |
| ESD robustness | 2 kV HBM - protects against handling damage during board assembly and field service |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | USB Hub Power Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Distributing switched 5V power to multiple isolated digital output channels in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad high-side switch providing independent ON/OFF control and real-time fault feedback per output port.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad high-side power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2044BD | 400mA per channel, 120mΩ RDS(on), no internal charge pump - requires ≥4.5V supply for full enhancement | Limited to higher-voltage systems; lacks 2.7V operation and lower on-resistance | Select when supply >4.5V and thermal budget allows higher conduction loss |
| AP22654WM | Single-channel, 60mΩ, 2A rating, integrated soft-start - no OCx outputs or multi-channel integration | Requires four separate ICs and external logic for quad functionality; adds board area and BOM count | Select when per-channel flexibility and soft-start priority outweigh integration benefits |
Compared with TPS2044BD and AP22654WM, ST2044BDR uniquely delivers quad integration, 2.7V operability, and matched 80mΩ RDS(on) in one SO-16 package - reducing component count and simplifying layout for space-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current per channel for ST2044BDR?
The ST2044BDR supports 500 mA continuous current per channel under recommended operating conditions (TA = 85°C, VI = 5.5 V). Its current-limit threshold is set at 0.9 A typical, with short-circuit output current ranging from 0.7 A to 1.3 A depending on supply voltage and temperature.
Does ST2044BDR require external components for gate driving?
No. ST2044BDR integrates a charge pump that fully enhances its internal N-channel MOSFETs from supplies as low as 2.7 V. No external capacitors, bootstrap diodes, or gate drivers are required - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
How does the 10ms fault-blanking feature work?
The 10ms deglitch circuit on each OCx output ignores transient overcurrent events shorter than ~2–10 ms (typical), preventing false fault assertions during hot-insertion or brief load surges. The blanking period is fixed and internally generated - no external timing components are needed.
Can ST2044BDR be used in automotive applications?
ST2044BDR is specified for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation and is not qualified as AEC-Q100 automotive grade. While it may function in non-safety-critical automotive subsystems, ST does not recommend or warrant its use in automotive applications unless explicitly validated by the end customer under their specific environmental and reliability requirements.
