Product details
Overview
STOD32ATPQR from STMicroelectronics is a triple DC-DC converter IC designed specifically for AMOLED display power management in portable electronics. It integrates a 300 mA step-up converter (4.6 V), a 300 mA inverting converter (programmable −0.8 V to −4.8 V, default −4.0 V), and a 55 mA auxiliary step-up converter (5.8 V to 7.9 V, default 7.6 V), operating from 2.5 V to 4.5 V input with soft-start, overtemperature, and short-circuit protection.
For engineers reviewing the STOD32ATPQR datasheet, STOD32ATPQR pinout, STOD32ATPQR application, or STOD32ATPQR equivalent, key selection considerations include its triple-output architecture, SWIRE-programmable voltage settings, QFN16 (3.0×3.0 mm) package, inrush current limiting, and true shutdown mode for battery-powered AMOLED systems.
Technical Context
The STOD32ATPQR implements three independent switching regulators on a single die: a boost converter for positive VPOS, an inverting buck-boost for negative VNEG, and a second boost stage for auxiliary V AUX. All converters share synchronous rectification and operate with fixed-frequency PWM control.
Voltage programming is performed via a single SWIRE pin using pulse-width-coded commands, enabling dynamic adjustment of VNEG and V AUX without I²C or SPI. The device uses internal current-mode control loops and integrated MOSFETs, eliminating external high-side switches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 4.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion/Li-poly battery operation across full discharge curve. |
| Primary Boost Output | 4.6 V @ 300 mA - supplies AMOLED anode (VDD) with regulated rail for display driver ICs. |
| Inverting Output | −0.8 V to −4.8 V (default −4.0 V) @ 300 mA - powers AMOLED cathode (VSS) with programmable bias for contrast control. |
| Auxiliary Boost Output | 5.8 V to 7.9 V (default 7.6 V) @ 55 mA - drives gate driver ICs or level shifters requiring higher positive bias. |
| Protection Features | Soft-start, overtemperature shutdown, short-circuit protection - ensures safe startup and fault recovery in compact handheld layouts. |
| Package | QFN16 (3.0 × 3.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - enables high-density placement near AMOLED flex connectors with thermal pad for PCB heat dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
STOD32ATPQR is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN16 (3.0 × 3.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (EP) on underside for PCB-level heat transfer. Pin numbering follows standard QFN convention, counterclockwise from top-left corner (pin 1 marked by dot).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–4.5 V battery input; feeds all three converter stages via internal power distribution network. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for all converters and logic; must be connected to EP for thermal and noise integrity. |
| VPOS | Step-up output | 4.6 V regulated output for AMOLED panel anode; requires external 4.7 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| VNEG | Inverting output | Programmable negative rail (−0.8 to −4.8 V); connects to AMOLED cathode; uses dedicated inductor and 22 µF output cap. |
| V AUX | Auxiliary step-up output | Programmable 5.8–7.9 V rail; powers gate drivers or analog circuitry requiring higher bias than main VPOS. |
| SWIRE | Voltage programming interface | Single-wire digital input for setting VNEG and V AUX levels via pulse-width encoding; no external pull-up required. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; initiates true shutdown with <1 µA quiescent current and complete output disable. |
| EP | Thermal pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-output integration | Combines VPOS, VNEG, and V AUX converters in one QFN16 package-reduces BOM count by ≥3 discrete regulators and saves >25 mm² PCB area. |
| SWIRE programmability | Enables real-time VNEG/V AUX adjustment during system operation using only one GPIO pin-eliminates need for I²C bus or external DACs. |
| True shutdown mode | Reduces total system quiescent current to <1 µA when disabled-critical for standby power budget in always-on display subsystems. |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrates high-efficiency power MOSFETs in all three converters-achieves >85% peak efficiency at 300 mA loads without external switches. |
| Inrush current limiting | Controls output ramp rate during startup-prevents battery voltage sag and avoids false brown-out detection in host SoC. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-output AMOLED power supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65136RGTR | Fixed VPOS (4.5 V) and VNEG (−4.0 V); no SWIRE-requires external resistor programming or I²C interface for adjustment. | Lacks dynamic voltage tuning; limited to static AMOLED panels without adaptive contrast features. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs programmability needs and layout allows larger 16-pin QFN (4×4 mm). |
| RT9055GQW | Supports only dual outputs (VPOS + VNEG); no auxiliary boost stage-requires external charge pump or LDO for gate driver bias. | Cannot replace STOD32ATPQR in designs needing integrated V AUX; increases component count and board area. | Only viable if auxiliary rail is omitted or implemented separately using discrete components. |
Compared with TPS65136RGTR and RT9055GQW, STOD32ATPQR uniquely delivers fully programmable triple-rail output in a 3.0×3.0 mm footprint with true shutdown and SWIRE simplicity-making it optimal for next-gen compact, adaptive AMOLED devices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for full 300 mA output capability on VPOS and VNEG?
STOD32ATPQR delivers rated 300 mA on both VPOS and VNEG only when VIN exceeds 2.9 V. Below this threshold, output current capability degrades progressively; at 2.5 V input, maximum continuous output drops to approximately 180 mA per rail due to reduced headroom for internal switch conduction and control loop stability.
How does SWIRE programming affect system firmware design?
SWIRE uses pulse-width modulation on a single GPIO: logic high pulses of 1–2 µs width set VNEG, and 3–4 µs pulses set V AUX. Firmware must generate precise timing pulses without CPU intervention-typically implemented via timer-triggered GPIO toggling or dedicated pulse generator peripheral to avoid jitter-induced voltage errors.
Can STOD32ATPQR drive a 5.5-inch AMOLED panel with 120 Hz refresh rate?
Yes-STOD32ATPQR supports dynamic load steps up to 200 mA/µs on VPOS and VNEG, verified with 4.7 µH inductors and 22 µF X5R output capacitors. Its fast transient response (<15 µs settling time) and low output impedance (<80 mΩ at 100 kHz) maintain voltage stability during high-refresh-rate pixel charging cycles.
Is the exposed thermal pad (EP) electrically isolated or tied to GND?
The EP is internally connected to the GND net and must be soldered to a PCB GND plane. It is not electrically isolated. Proper thermal pad connection reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance to 32°C/W, enabling reliable 300 mA operation at 65°C ambient without derating.
