Product details
Overview
STMPS2242MTR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel high-side power distribution switch featuring two 100 mΩ MOSFETs, 500 mA continuous current per channel, independent active-low enable inputs, and open-drain overcurrent fault outputs. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, includes thermal shutdown at 135 °C, and delivers 2.5 ms typical rise time for controlled inrush management in USB-powered peripherals and embedded power rails.
For engineers reviewing the STMPS2242MTR datasheet, STMPS2242MTR pinout, STMPS2242MTR application, or STMPS2242MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include channel enable polarity (active-low), per-channel current limiting at 500 mA, fault-blanking timing (10 ms), reverse-current blocking behavior, and SO-8 package thermal resistance (160 °C/W).
Technical Context
The device integrates two independent high-side switches with dedicated EN1/EN2 inputs and OC1/OC2 open-drain fault indicators. Each channel employs current-limiting circuitry that transitions into constant-current mode during overload, with fault reporting delayed by a fixed 10 ms blanking window to suppress transient false triggers during hot-swap events.
Thermal protection activates at 135 °C junction temperature and recovers autonomously after cooling to 125 °C. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables switching below 2.0–2.5 V input threshold with 75 mV hysteresis, while reverse-current blocking prevents backflow when the switch is off or unpowered.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 105–115 mΩ at 5 V, 25 °C - ensures ≤525 mW conduction loss at 500 mA full load |
| Continuous current | 500 mA per channel - supports USB 2.0-compliant downstream ports and low-power peripheral rails |
| Fault blanking | 10 ms - suppresses false OC assertions during capacitive load turn-on transients |
| UVLO threshold | 2.0–2.5 V - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions in battery-backed systems |
| Standby current | 13 µA max - enables ultra-low quiescent power in always-on system management circuits |
| Thermal shutdown | 135 °C with 10 °C hysteresis - provides robust self-protection under sustained short-circuit stress |
| ESD rating | 8 kV HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for board-level surge immunity |
Pinout & Package
STMPS2242MTR is housed in an SO-8 surface-mount package (4.9 mm × 6.0 mm, 1.25 mm height) with standard 1.27 mm pitch, rated for 160 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for internal current sensing and thermal monitoring circuitry |
| 2 IN | Main power input | Supplies both channels; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 3 EN1 | Channel 1 enable input | Active-low logic control; pulls low to activate CH1; compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V/5 V CMOS/TTL |
| 4 EN2 | Channel 2 enable input | Active-low logic control; independent of EN1 for asynchronous channel sequencing |
| 5 OC2 | Channel 2 fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during overcurrent or thermal fault; requires external pull-up |
| 6 OUT2 | Channel 2 switched output | Drives load; reverse-current blocking active when EN2 = low or IN = 0 V |
| 7 OUT1 | Channel 1 switched output | Drives load; electrically isolated from OUT2; shares no internal current path |
| 8 OC1 | Channel 1 fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during overcurrent or thermal fault; independent of OC2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent high-side switches | Enables separate power control for two subsystems (e.g., USB port + sensor rail) without shared failure modes |
| 10 ms fault blanking | Eliminates false OC assertions during hot-plug of 470 µF capacitive loads, verified per Figure 5 |
| Reverse current blocking | Prevents backfeed from powered outputs into disabled or unpowered IN rail, critical for multi-rail isolation |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 135 °C trip / 125 °C recovery ensures stable cycling under intermittent overload without latch-up |
| Low standby supply current | 13 µA max allows integration into always-on supervisory circuits without measurable battery drain |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power Switching | Industrial I/O Module Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Hot-swappable USB devices connected to embedded host controllers require inrush-limited, fault-isolated power delivery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual high-side switch manages VBUS distribution with independent enable/fault signaling per port. Use Value: 10 ms fault blanking tolerates 470 µF load capacitance turn-on (Fig. 5); 500 mA limit protects host controller from shorted peripherals. |
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controller (PLC) digital output modules need per-channel overcurrent protection and diagnostics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides isolated 500 mA power switching with OCx outputs feeding PLC status registers. Use Value: Open-drain OC1/OC2 outputs interface directly to 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs; thermal shutdown prevents field failures during wiring faults. |
| Embedded System Power Sequencing | Point-of-Load (POL) Rail Enable |
|
Use Scenario: Multi-rail SoC-based systems require staggered power-up of core, I/O, and memory supplies to limit peak inrush. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enables precise timing-controlled activation of auxiliary rails using independent EN1/EN2 signals. Use Value: Active-low enables compatibility with standard reset supervisors; 2.5 ms rise time ensures clean voltage ramp without overshoot. |
Use Scenario: Low-voltage FPGA or ASIC core supplies demand reliable enable/disable with fault feedback for power management ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as POL rail gate driver with OCx reporting to PMIC for automatic rail disable on fault. Use Value: RDS(on) ≤115 mΩ limits voltage drop to <57.5 mV at 500 mA, preserving tight core voltage tolerance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel high-side power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL92012RGER | Single-channel, 2.7–6.5 V, 2 A, integrated 100 ms fault timer | Lacks dual-channel independence and active-low enable; requires external logic for dual-rail use | Choose for higher current single-rail applications where programmable fault timing outweighs channel count |
| TPS2051BDR | Single-channel, 2.7–5.5 V, 500 mA, no fault blanking, no OC output | No fault reporting or blanking; requires external comparator for overcurrent detection | Choose only when cost sensitivity precludes diagnostic capability and dual-channel operation is unnecessary |
Compared with TPL92012RGER and TPS2051BDR, STMPS2242MTR uniquely delivers dual independent active-low enables, 10 ms blanking, and dedicated OCx outputs in one SO-8 package-enabling compact, self-diagnosing dual-rail designs without external components.

FAQ
What is the enable polarity for STMPS2242MTR?
STMPS2242MTR uses active-low enable inputs (EN1 and EN2). Driving either pin low activates its respective channel; driving high disables it. This matches common reset supervisor outputs and simplifies interface with microcontrollers lacking open-drain GPIOs.
Does STMPS2242MTR support reverse-current blocking when powered down?
Yes. When IN = 0 V or ENx = high, the internal MOSFET body diode is reverse-biased, preventing current flow from OUTx back into the IN rail. This is confirmed in Section 3.3 and Table 7 (Ireverse ≤ 2 µA at 25 °C).
How does fault blanking interact with thermal shutdown?
Fault blanking applies only to overcurrent events-not thermal faults. If junction temperature exceeds 135 °C, OCx asserts immediately with no delay. The 10 ms blanking window exclusively filters transient current-limit conditions, as specified in Section 3.1.
Can STMPS2242MTR drive a 470 µF capacitive load safely?
Yes. Figure 5 confirms safe turn-on with 470 µF load at 3 V input, and the 10 ms fault blanking prevents false OC assertion during this event. Rise time remains within specification (≤2 ms), and thermal margin is maintained per SO-8 thermal resistance (160 °C/W).
