Product details
Overview
STM6601GU2BDM6F from STMicroelectronics is a smart push-button on/off controller with Smart Reset™ and power-on lockout functionality, designed for secure system power sequencing in battery-powered portable electronics. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V, delivers 0.6 µA standby current, features a precise 1.5 V ±1% voltage reference, supports adjustable Smart Reset™ delay via external CSRD capacitor, and uses a fixed tON_BLANK power-up blanking period (distinguishing it from STM6600). It is deployed in smartphones and audio players to manage MOSFET-based power rails.
For engineers reviewing the STM6601GU2BDM6F datasheet, STM6601GU2BDM6F pinout, STM6601GU2BDM6F application, or STM6601GU2BDM6F equivalent, key selection criteria include tON_BLANK timing compliance, PSHOLD confirmation logic, EN/EN output polarity, VCCLO undervoltage detection behavior, and compatibility with 2×3 mm TDFN12 layout constraints.
Technical Context
The STM6601 implements a deterministic power-up sequence where PB press initiates startup, but system enable (EN/EN) remains asserted only if PSHOLD is driven high within the fixed tON_BLANK window-preventing false turn-on due to faulty switches or unresponsive processors. Its internal logic combines debounced PB/SR edge detection, factory-trimmed VTH+ (3.4 V typ.) and VTH− thresholds, and glitch-immune SRD timing control.
Smart Reset™ assertion requires simultaneous PB and SR button hold for ≥tDEBOUNCE + tSRD, with tSRD set by CSRD capacitor charging via ISRD current; RST output is active-low open-drain and held low for tREC (typ. 200 ms) during reset events. The device integrates a dedicated 1.5 V ±1% reference (VREF) with mandatory 1 µF decoupling, disabled in standby.

Pinout & Package
STM6601GU2BDM6F is housed in a 12-pin TDFN (Thin Dual Flat No-lead) package measuring 2 mm × 3 mm with 0.5 mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Power supply input | Must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin; monitored for VTH+ threshold during startup. |
| 2 SR | Smart Reset™ button input | Active-low input with optional 100 kΩ internal pull-up; requires momentary GND connection; ±8 kV HBM ESD rated. |
| 3 VREF | Precise 1.5 V reference output | Delivers ±1% accurate voltage after tREC expires; requires mandatory 1 µF capacitor even if unused. |
| 4 PSHOLD | Power supply hold confirmation | Input monitored during startup; must be driven high within tON_BLANK to sustain EN/EN assertion; internal pull-down active only at power-up. |
| 5 CSRD | Smart Reset™ delay timing | Capacitor-to-ground sets tSRD; charged by internal ISRD current; open if no delay required. |
| 6 PB | Push-button input | Active-low input with internal 100 kΩ pull-up; detects falling edge; initiates power-up or interrupt based on press duration. |

| 8 PBOUT | Debounced PB status | Active-low open-drain output reflecting validated PB press; ignores PB during undervoltage; first-press-only response during tON_BLANK on STM6601. |
| 9 EN / EN | System power enable | Push-pull output (default EN); asserts high to drive external MOSFET/DC-DC converter; deasserts on PSHOLD low, undervoltage, or long push. |
| 10 RST | Reset signal output | Active-low open-drain; held low for tREC (200 ms typ.) during startup or Smart Reset™ event; requires 10 kΩ pull-up. |
| 11 INT | Interrupt output | Active-low open-drain; signals PB short press or VCC undervoltage; duration ≥tINT_Min; requires 10 kΩ pull-up. |
| 12 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and reference outputs; must be low-impedance plane connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar push-button power control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM6600GU2BDM6F | Uses PB-hold duration (not fixed tON_BLANK) to determine power-up validity; PSHOLD confirmation not required for initial enable. | Better suited for systems with unpredictable or slow processor boot times where tON_BLANK timeout would cause failure. | Select STM6600 if host MCU cannot guarantee PSHOLD assertion within fixed window; STM6601 preferred when deterministic lockout is required. |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Dedicated supervisor IC with reset only; lacks PB/SR inputs, EN control, Smart Reset™, or tON_BLANK logic-requires external button interface circuitry. | Applicable only for basic reset generation; cannot replace STM6601's integrated power sequencing and user interaction functions. | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR only for simple voltage-monitoring reset; STM6601 is required for full push-button power management. |
Compared with STM6600GU2BDM6F, STM6601GU2BDM6F trades flexible startup timing for guaranteed power-on lockout-making it superior for safety-critical or certified portable devices.

FAQ
What is the function of the PSHOLD pin on STM6601GU2BDM6F?
The PSHOLD pin serves as a hardware confirmation signal during power-up: the host processor must drive it high within the fixed tON_BLANK window to sustain the EN/EN output assertion. If unasserted, EN/EN deactivates-preventing system operation under marginal or unverified power conditions. During normal operation, pulling PSHOLD low forces immediate power-down.
How does STM6601GU2BDM6F differ from STM6600GU2BDM6F in startup behavior?
STM6601 uses a fixed tON_BLANK timer to enforce PSHOLD confirmation, while STM6600 relies on PB press duration alone. On STM6601, releasing PB before PSHOLD assertion causes EN/EN to drop regardless of press length; STM6600 allows release after tDEBOUNCE but before tON_BLANK expiration. This makes STM6601 more robust against faulty switches or hung processors.
Can the VREF output be left unconnected if not used in the design?
No-VREF requires a mandatory 1 µF ceramic capacitor to ground, even if the 1.5 V reference is unused. Omitting this capacitor causes instability in internal regulation and may result in erratic reset behavior or failure to exit standby mode. The capacitor ensures proper reference settling and noise immunity per ST's layout guidelines.
What is the purpose of the CSRD pin and how is its timing determined?
The CSRD pin sets the Smart Reset™ delay time (tSRD) by connecting an external capacitor to ground. An internal current source (ISRD) charges the capacitor until it reaches VSRD threshold; tSRD = (VSRD × CSRD) / ISRD. Typical values yield ~100–500 ms delays. Leaving CSRD open disables Smart Reset™, causing long-push detection to occur immediately after tINT_Min expires.
