Product details
Overview
STBB2JAD-R from STMicroelectronics is an adjustable-output, 800 mA dual-mode buck-boost DC-DC converter operating from 2.4 V to 5.5 V input, delivering regulated output from 1.2 V to 4.5 V with ±2% tolerance, 2.5 MHz switching frequency, and >90% typical efficiency at mid-load. It serves as a primary power rail in compact battery-powered systems where input voltage may fall below, equal, or exceed the required output-e.g., single-cell Li-ion memory card supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STBB2JAD-R datasheet, STBB2JAD-R pinout, STBB2JAD-R application, or STBB2JAD-R equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world transient performance data, bypass mode quiescent current (5 µA), dual-mode control logic (auto/PWM), and confirmed alternative options for fixed-output and adjustable buck-boost replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The STBB2JAD-R implements average current-mode control with feed-forward compensation to stabilize regulation across buck, boost, and buck-boost transition regions-especially critical when VIN ≈ VOUT. Its four integrated MOSFETs (dual N-channel + dual P-channel) enable seamless mode transitions without external reconfiguration.
It supports three operational states via dedicated pins: forced PWM (MODE = high) for minimal output ripple and fast load response; auto mode (MODE = low) for pulse-skipping at light loads; and bypass mode (BP = high + EN = high) that shorts VIN to VOUT via internal P-channels, reducing quiescent current to 5 µA while maintaining rail continuity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 5.5 V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH (2.4–4.8 V). |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 4.5 V - adjustable via external resistor divider on FB pin; enables direct supply for SD/CF cards, PMIC cores, or RF bias rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5 MHz (±25%) - allows use of sub-2 mm × 2 mm inductors (e.g., 1.0 µH) and minimizes EMI in space-constrained handheld PCBs. |
| Max Output Current | 800 mA continuous - sustained at VOUT = 3.4 V with VIN ≥ 2.5 V; limited by internal 2.5 A peak switch current and thermal resistance (80 °C/W). |
| Quiescent Current | 5 µA in bypass mode - reduces standby drain in always-on peripherals; 35–50 µA in pulse-skipping mode; 8–10 mA in forced PWM. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over temp & process - achieved via 500 mV ±1.4% internal reference and precision feedback amplifier; ensures stable memory interface voltage under thermal stress. |
| Protection Features | UVLO (2.1–2.35 V), thermal shutdown (150 °C), soft-start (300 µs turn-on), short-circuit current limit (400 mA initial, scaling with VOUT). |
Pinout & Package
STBB2JAD-R uses a Flip Chip 20-bump package (2.1 mm × 1.8 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad on underside. Input/output power paths are physically separated: VIN and PGND handle high-current switching; VINA and GND serve low-noise control circuitry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (A1, A2) | Main power input | Connects to battery or main rail; requires ≥10 µF ceramic bypass to PGND; split from VINA to isolate digital noise. |
| VINA (A3), VINA1 (B3) | Control-stage supply | VINA powers internal logic; VINA1 has internal 100 Ω resistor to VIN and must be decoupled with 1 µF to GND for stable reference. |
| SW1 (B1, B2), SW2 (D1, D2) | Switch node terminals | Connect external inductor between SW1 and SW2; each pair shares internal MOSFET bridges for buck-boost topology. |
| PGND (C1, C2) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for switch currents; must be routed separately from signal GND (C3, D3, E4) to avoid coupling noise into feedback loop. |
| VOUT (E1, E2) | Regulated output | Delivers final rail; connects to FB pin via resistor divider for adjustable versions; ties directly to FB in fixed variants. |
| FB (E3) | Feedback input | Senses output via resistive divider; internal 500 mV reference sets VOUT = 500 mV × (1 + R1/R2); accuracy directly impacts system voltage margin. |
| EN (A4) | Enable control | Active-high logic: <0.4 V = shutdown (<2 µA Iq); >1.2 V = active; floating not allowed-must be pulled to GND or VIN. |
| MODE (C4) | Operating mode select | Low = auto (pulse-skip/PWM transition at ~280–300 mA); high = forced PWM; determines dynamic response vs. light-load efficiency trade-off. |
| BP (B4) | Bypass activation | High (>1.2 V) + EN high → internal P-FETs short VIN to VOUT; reduces Iq to 5 µA; disables regulation but maintains rail continuity. |
| VSEL (D4) | Output voltage selection | Not used in STBB2JAD-R (adjustable version); must be tied to VINA per datasheet; unused in this variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode regulation (PWM/auto) | Enables best-in-class transient response under heavy load (PWM) and <50 µA quiescent current at light load (auto), eliminating need for external mode control logic. |
| Integrated 4-switch buck-boost topology | Eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers; supports VIN < VOUT (boost), VIN > VOUT (buck), and VIN ≈ VOUT (buck-boost) without manual reconfiguration. |
| Bypass function with 5 µA Iq | Extends battery life in idle states by electrically connecting input to output via low-RDS(on) P-FETs-critical for memory card retention during host sleep. |
| Split power/signal ground architecture | VIN/PGND carry high di/dt switching currents; VINA/GND route sensitive analog and digital control signals-reducing noise coupling by >20 dB in measured EMI tests. |
| Programmable soft-start (300 µs) | Gradually ramps output current limit from 400 mA to full scale as VOUT rises, preventing inrush into large capacitive loads (e.g., 100 µF SD card decoupling). |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable-output buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS63020DSJR | Fixed 3.3 V/5 V options only; no adjustable version; 2.5 MHz switching; 96% peak efficiency; requires external compensation. | Lacks VOUT adjustability-unsuitable where multiple rail voltages needed from one BOM; higher BOM cost due to external compensation network. | Select only if fixed 3.3 V/5 V output suffices and layout area permits external RC compensation components. |
| MAX20096ATCB/V+T | Higher 2 A output; 2.2 MHz; integrated inductor option; ±1.5% VOUT accuracy; no bypass mode; 12 µA Iq in skip mode. | Over-specified for 800 mA use cases; lacks 5 µA bypass state critical for memory retention; larger 3 mm × 3 mm QFN package. | Prefer when >1 A load or integrated inductor simplification outweighs standby current penalty and board space constraints. |
Compared with TPS63020DSJR and MAX20096ATCB/V+T, STBB2JAD-R uniquely combines adjustable output, 5 µA bypass Iq, and 2.1 × 1.8 mm footprint-making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained memory and portable UI applications where voltage flexibility and ultra-low standby drain are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended inductor value for STBB2JAD-R?
The datasheet specifies a 1.0 µH inductor (e.g., Murata LQH3NPN1R0NM0) as optimal for maximum power capability at 2.5 MHz. Lower values increase peak current and reduce efficiency; higher values degrade transient response and may cause saturation at 800 mA. Inductor DCR must be ≤120 mΩ to maintain >90% efficiency at full load.
Can STBB2JAD-R operate with input voltage equal to output voltage?
Yes-STBB2JAD-R is explicitly designed for buck-boost crossover operation where VIN ≈ VOUT (e.g., 3.4 V in / 3.4 V out). Its average current-mode control and feed-forward compensation prevent instability and excessive ripple in this region, unlike basic buck or boost converters which fail to regulate at exact VIN = VOUT.
How does the bypass mode affect output voltage regulation?
In bypass mode, regulation is disabled: internal P-channel switches directly connect VIN to VOUT, so output voltage equals input voltage minus small RDS(on) drop (<50 mV at 100 mA). This sacrifices regulation for ultra-low 5 µA quiescent current-ideal for retention but unsuitable for active load conditions requiring stable voltage.
Is STBB2JAD-R RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-STBB2JAD-R meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The Flip Chip 20 package uses lead-free solder bumps and green molding compound, with full compliance documentation available in ST's official product change notices (PCN #14-0127).
