Product details
Overview
STMPS2171STR from STMicroelectronics is a 1000 mA active-high enable high-side N-channel MOSFET power switch with integrated thermal and short-circuit protection, 90 mW RON at 5 V, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and reverse current blocking - used in USB port power management, industrial I/O modules, and hot-swap-capable peripheral distribution.
For engineers reviewing the STMPS2171STR datasheet, STMPS2171STR pinout, STMPS2171STR application, or STMPS2171STR equivalent, key selection criteria include rated output current (1000 mA), enable logic polarity (active-high), fault blanking duration (10 ms), thermal shutdown threshold (135 °C), and package-specific thermal resistance (160 °C/W for SO-8).
Technical Context
The STMPS2171STR implements a single-channel high-side power switch with CMOS/TTL-compatible EN input and open-drain FAULT output. It operates across 2.7–5.5 V input range and uses internal current limiting to clamp output at ~120% of rated current (1200 mA typ.) during overloads.
Fault response includes 10 ms blanking for transient overcurrents, immediate FAULT assertion for die overtemperature (>135 °C) or UVLO events, and automatic thermal recovery when junction cools below 125 °C. Reverse current blocking is enforced only when EN = low or VIN = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 1000 mA - supports stable power delivery to moderate-capacity capacitive loads (e.g., USB peripherals, sensor nodes) |
| RON (at 5 V) | 140 mΩ - limits conduction loss to ≤700 mW at full load, enabling use in thermally constrained SO-8 layouts |
| Enable Logic Polarity | Active-high - simplifies interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting or inversion logic |
| Fault Blanking Time | 10 ms - suppresses false FAULT assertions during hot-plug transients or inrush into large bulk capacitance |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.3 V (rising), 2.1 V (falling) - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions in battery-backed systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | 135 °C (junction), auto-recovery at 125 °C - protects against sustained overload without requiring external reset circuitry |
| Standby Supply Current | 12 µA max - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in always-on system rails |
Pinout & Package
STMPS2171STR is packaged in SO-8 (small outline integrated circuit, 8-pin), offering superior thermal performance (θJA = 160 °C/W) versus SOT23-5L or MSOP8 variants - suitable for continuous 1 A operation in industrial ambient environments up to 102.6 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Power Switch Output | Main high-side switched output node; connects to load; supports reverse current blocking when disabled |
| 2 (OUT) | Power Switch Output | Dual-output configuration improves current sharing and reduces trace inductance in high-current paths |
| 3 (OUT) | Power Switch Output | Third parallel output terminal enhances thermal derating margin and reduces voltage drop under full load |
| 4 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high digital control signal; TTL/CMOS compatible; drives internal gate driver for N-MOSFET |
| 5 (FAULT) | Fault Indicator Output | Open-drain, active-low signal indicating overcurrent, overtemperature, or UVLO fault after blanking period |
| 6 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power and signal return path; must be low-impedance for accurate current sensing and thermal stability |
| 7 (IN) | Input Supply | Main 2.7–5.5 V power rail input; feeds internal regulator and gate driver; requires local decoupling |
| 8 (IN) | Input Supply | Dual IN pins reduce package parasitic inductance and improve supply integrity during fast load transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Thermal Protection | Auto-shutdown at 135 °C junction temperature with hysteresis-based recovery - eliminates need for external thermal sensors or reset logic |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Hi-Z output state when EN = low or VIN = 0 V - prevents backfeeding from downstream supplies in redundant or multi-rail systems |
| Fault Blanking | 10 ms programmable delay before FAULT assertion - tolerates hot-swap inrush and ESD-induced current spikes without false triggering |
| UL Recognition | UL file E354278 - validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in industrial and medical applications |
| Low Standby Current | 12 µA maximum ICC in disabled state - extends battery life in portable equipment with standby power domains |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power Switching | Industrial Digital I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2051BDR | 500 mA rated current, 120 mΩ RON, no FAULT pin, fixed 2.7–5.5 V range | Lacks fault reporting and thermal shutdown; suited for non-critical, low-current USB ports | Select when FAULT monitoring is unnecessary and load current ≤500 mA |
| AP22653AW5-7 | 1200 mA rated current, 70 mΩ RON, active-low EN, no UVLO hysteresis | Better conduction efficiency but less robust under brown-out; requires external UVLO supervision | Prefer for high-efficiency 12 V-to-5 V distribution where input regulation is tightly controlled |
Compared with TPS2051BDR and AP22653AW5-7, STMPS2171STR uniquely combines 1000 mA capability, active-high EN, integrated FAULT signaling, and certified UVLO/thermal protection - making it optimal for safety-aware, hot-swap-capable industrial and medical power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable ambient temperature for continuous 1000 mA operation in SO-8 package?
The SO-8 package has a thermal resistance θJA of 160 °C/W. With 140 mΩ RON and 1 A load, power dissipation is 140 mW, resulting in a 22.4 °C junction-to-ambient rise. At maximum junction temperature of 125 °C, maximum ambient temperature is 102.6 °C - confirmed in Table 6 of the datasheet.
Does STMPS2171STR support reverse current flow when the switch is ON?
No. When enabled (EN = high), the device does not block reverse current - if VOUT > VIN, reverse current flows through the body diode of the internal N-MOSFET. Reverse blocking is only guaranteed when EN = low or VIN = 0 V, per Section 3.4 of the datasheet.
How does the 10 ms fault blanking interact with thermal shutdown?
Fault blanking applies only to overcurrent events. Thermal shutdown triggers immediately upon junction temperature exceeding 135 °C, with no blanking delay. The FAULT pin asserts low within microseconds of thermal trip, independent of the 10 ms timer used for current-limit faults.
Can STMPS2171STR be used with 3.3 V logic-level microcontrollers without level shifting?
Yes. The EN input is CMOS/TTL compatible with VIH(min) = 2.0 V and VIL(max) = 0.8 V at VIN = 3.3 V, fully supporting direct connection to 3.3 V GPIOs. No external level shifter is required for enable control.
