Product details
Overview
ST750ACD from STMicroelectronics is an adjustable-output, current-mode PWM step-down DC-DC converter in SO-8 package, operating from 4V to 11V input and delivering up to 450mA load current with 200kHz fixed switching frequency, 92% typical efficiency at 300mA, and ±4.5% output voltage accuracy over line/load/temperature. It integrates a P-channel power MOSFET and supports soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and undervoltage lockout for portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the ST750ACD datasheet, ST750ACD pinout, ST750ACD application, or ST750ACD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.8mA quiescent current, 0.3µA shutdown supply current, 1.25V internal reference voltage, SO-8 thermal resistance (160°C/W), and compatibility with pre-selected 33µH or 100µH inductors without custom magnetics design.
Technical Context
The ST750ACD employs current-mode PWM control with fixed 200kHz oscillator frequency (160–280kHz range), enabling precise duty-cycle adjustment per switching cycle for fast transient response and stable regulation. Its internal 1.25V reference feeds the feedback network, and output voltage is set externally via resistor divider.
Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limiting, soft-start (via external capacitor on SS pin), undervoltage lockout (2.7–3V threshold), and thermal shutdown. The LX pin drives the integrated P-channel MOSFET (RDS(on) = 0.5Ω), while CC pin enables outer-loop compensation with a 330pF capacitor to OUT.
Key Specifications

| Reference Voltage | 1.25V (±4.5% tolerance + resistor tolerance) - sets output accuracy for adjustable VOUT |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.7V to 3.0V - prevents erratic operation during brown-out or battery depletion |
Pinout & Package

| 2 REF | Internal 1.25V reference output | Bypass to GND with ≤47nF capacitor to stabilize reference node |
| 3 SS | Soft-start timing node | Connect external capacitor to GND to control startup slew rate and limit inrush current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Instruments TPS54202 | 4.5–17V input, 2A output, 500kHz switching, integrated FETs, requires external compensation | Higher current and input voltage range; suited for industrial 12V-rail conversion | Select when >450mA output or >11V input is required; adds complexity with full compensation network |
| Analog Devices ADP2302 | 3–20V input, 2A output, 600kHz switching, 1.22V reference, no soft-start pin | Lacks dedicated SS pin; uses internal soft-start; higher frequency demands smaller LC but increases EMI filtering burden | Choose for higher efficiency at light loads or where board space favors smaller inductors, accepting loss of independent soft-start control |
Compared with TPS54202 and ADP2302, the ST750ACD offers lower quiescent current (0.8mA vs ≥1.5mA), simpler external component count (no compensation resistor needed), and dedicated soft-start control - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated 4–11V systems needing ≤450mA.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for ST750ACD?
The ST750ACD is validated with two pre-selected inductor values: 33µH and 100µH. These values eliminate the need for custom inductor design or characterization. Use 33µH for higher output current and tighter regulation; 100µH for lower peak inductor current and reduced ripple in low-noise applications. Both support full 450mA output capability.
How does the soft-start function work on ST750ACD?
Soft-start is controlled by an external capacitor connected between the SS pin and GND. Charging this capacitor linearly ramps the internal reference voltage, which in turn gradually increases the output voltage during startup. This limits inrush current into output capacitance and prevents system reset due to input droop. Typical values range from 1nF to 100nF depending on desired ramp time.
Can ST750ACD operate with input voltage below 4V?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 4V per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table. Operation below 4V triggers undervoltage lockout (UVLO), disabling switching until VCC rises above 2.7–3.0V. Below 4V, the device cannot sustain regulation or deliver rated output current, and may enter undefined behavior or oscillation.
Is ST750ACD RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. ST750ACD is supplied in an ECOPACK®-compliant SO-8 package with lead-free second-level interconnect, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The package marking and inner box label indicate the lead-free status per JEDEC Standard JESD97, and soldering profiles follow industry-standard Pb-free reflow guidelines.
