Product details
Overview
STSR2PMCD-TR from STMicroelectronics is a smart synchronous rectifier driver IC designed for secondary-side gate control in medium-power forward converters. It delivers complementary high-current outputs (source −2 A, sink 3.5 A), operates from 4.5–5.5 V supply, supports 20–750 kHz switching, and features programmable turn-off anticipation timing for OUTGATE2-enabling robust shoot-through prevention in low-voltage, high-efficiency DC/DC applications.
For engineers reviewing the STSR2PMCD-TR datasheet, STSR2PMCD-TR pinout, STSR2PMCD-TR application, or STSR2PMCD-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-output timing independence from magnetic reset technique, INHIBIT-enabled discontinuous conduction mode support, UVLO-protected startup, and SO-8 package compatibility with high-density power layouts.
Technical Context
The STSR2PMCD-TR implements cycle-by-cycle dead-time control using a synchronized 15 MHz internal oscillator and smart clock revelation logic. It generates two complementary gate drive signals (OUTGATE1, OUTGATE2) with fixed 75 ns turn-off anticipation on OUTGATE1 and externally adjustable anticipation (75/150/225 ns) on OUTGATE2 via SETANT2 voltage partitioning.
Its operation is decoupled from forward transformer demagnetization method, eliminating false triggering under light load. The INHIBIT function enables precise freewheeling MOSFET shutdown when reverse current is detected, supporting true discontinuous conduction mode while preventing output sinking-critical for 3.3 V/5 V output forward converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with logic-level MOSFETs and stable UVLO behavior (VCCON = 4 V, VCCOFF = 3.6 V). |
| Peak Output Current | Source −2 A / Sink 3.5 A - drives low-RDS(on) SR MOSFETs with minimal external buffering in high-current secondary paths. |
| Operating Frequency | 20 kHz to 750 kHz - supports wide-range forward converter designs including telecom and industrial SMPS. |
| Turn-off Anticipation | OUTGATE1: fixed 75 ns; OUTGATE2: selectable 75/150/225 ns - prevents shoot-through without relying on transformer reset waveform. |
| INHIBIT Threshold | −30 mV to −25 mV - enables precise zero-current detection for freewheeling MOSFET disable during DCM transition. |
| Rise/Fall Time | tR = 40 ns, tF = 30 ns (CLOAD = 5 nF) - ensures fast edge control for <100 ns dead-time margin at 500 kHz. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | Shut-down below 13% duty cycle (STSR2P); STSR2PM variant operates down to 200 ns pulse width - distinguishes PM version for ultra-low-duty applications. |
Pinout & Package
STSR2PMCD-TR is housed in a standard SO-8 package (5.0 × 4.0 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with thermally enhanced layout separation between SGLGND (control reference) and PWRGND (high-current return).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUTGATE1 | Gate drive output for main rectifier MOSFET | Fixed 75 ns turn-off anticipation triggered on CK falling edge; drives primary synchronous rectifier in forward secondary. |
| 2 - VCC | Power supply input | 4.5–5.5 V rail with integrated UVLO (start at 4 V, shut off at 3.6 V) for reliable startup and brownout protection. |
| 3 - SETANT2 | Anticipation timing select input | Voltage divider from VCC sets OUTGATE2 turn-off anticipation to 75/150/225 ns - enables tuning for transformer leakage and MOSFET gate charge. |
| 4 - CK | Clock synchronization input | Accepts TTL-compatible clock signal (2.6–2.8 V threshold); internal 15 MHz oscillator synchronizes timing without dependency on reset method. |
| 5 - INHIBIT | Freewheeling MOSFET enable/disable control | −25 mV threshold disables OUTGATE2 when reverse current flows - enables true DCM and prevents output sinking. |
| 6 - SGLGND | Signal ground reference | Isolated from PWRGND to prevent noise coupling into timing and comparator circuits - critical for jitter-free operation. |
| 7 - OUTGATE2 | Gate drive output for freewheeling MOSFET | Programmable turn-off anticipation on CK rising edge; disabled by INHIBIT to terminate freewheeling phase cleanly. |
| 8 - PWRGND | Power ground return | Carries full peak output currents (−2 A / +3.5 A); must be routed separately from SGLGND to avoid ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart Turn-off Anticipation | Fixed 75 ns on OUTGATE1 + user-selectable 75/150/225 ns on OUTGATE2 eliminates need for external timing components and ensures shoot-through immunity across line/load. |
| INHIBIT-Controlled DCM | −25 mV threshold on Pin 5 allows precise zero-current crossing detection to disable freewheeling MOSFET - enabling efficient light-load operation without reverse conduction. |
| Reset-Independent Operation | Internal clock revelation logic decouples timing from transformer demagnetization technique - removes sensitivity to snubber design, winding parasitics, and core saturation effects. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | VCCON = 4.0 V / VCCOFF = 3.6 V hysteresis prevents oscillatory startup during marginal supply conditions - essential for 5 V rail stability in distributed power systems. |
| Separated Ground Planes | Dedicated SGLGND (Pin 6) and PWRGND (Pin 8) minimize noise coupling between control logic and high di/dt gate drive paths - improves timing accuracy and EMI performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous rectifier driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC24612-2QDRQ1 | Automotive-grade, integrated VDS sensing; no external clock input required; fixed 100 ns dead time. | Self-sensing topology eliminates need for CK signal but requires direct drain connection - incompatible with transformer-coupled forward topologies. | Select when designing automotive forward converters where CK signal routing is impractical and drain sensing is feasible. |
| IR11672PbF | Single-output driver with adaptive timing; no INHIBIT pin; relies on transformer reset detection for DCM. | Lacks dual-output complementarity and programmable anticipation - cannot replace STSR2PMCD-TR in designs requiring independent OUTGATE1/OUTGATE2 control. | Use only in cost-sensitive single-MOSFET forward variants where freewheeling MOSFET is omitted or controlled externally. |
Compared with UCC24612-2QDRQ1 and IR11672PbF, STSR2PMCD-TR uniquely supports clock-synchronized dual-output timing with external anticipation tuning and INHIBIT-based DCM - making it the only option for high-reliability, transformer-coupled forward converters demanding precise secondary-side timing independence.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between STSR2P and STSR2PM?
The STSR2PM variant extends minimum operating duty cycle capability: STSR2P shuts down outputs below 13% duty cycle, while STSR2PM remains operational down to 200 ns pulse width. This makes STSR2PM suitable for ultra-low-duty applications such as high-input-voltage forward converters with large turns ratios, where STSR2P would disable prematurely.
How does the INHIBIT pin enable discontinuous conduction mode?
The INHIBIT pin uses a −25 mV comparator threshold to detect reverse current flow through the freewheeling MOSFET. When voltage at Pin 5 exceeds this threshold (i.e., becomes less negative), OUTGATE2 is forced high for a fixed 250 ns minimum conduction time, then disabled - cleanly terminating freewheeling before reverse current builds, enabling true DCM without external controllers.
Why are SGLGND and PWRGND physically separated pins?
SGLGND (Pin 6) serves as the reference for all timing, comparators, and logic circuits, while PWRGND (Pin 8) carries high di/dt gate drive return currents. Separation prevents ground bounce from modulating clock thresholds or INHIBIT detection, ensuring consistent 75 ns anticipation timing and −25 mV threshold accuracy across load transients and PCB layout variations.
Can STSR2PMCD-TR drive both N-channel MOSFETs on the secondary side?
Yes - STSR2PMCD-TR is designed exclusively for dual N-channel synchronous rectification. OUTGATE1 and OUTGATE2 are high-side referenced gate drivers with rail-to-rail swing (0.16 V low, 4.85 V high at 200 mA), capable of fully enhancing logic-level MOSFETs without external level shifters or bootstrap networks.
