Product details
Overview
TD221IDT from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic gate driver IC with integrated 5V linear regulator and two-point regulator for switching charge pump supplies, delivering 60mA source / 120mA sink gate drive, UVLO (7.8–15V), and 2kV HBM ESD protection. It powers microcontrollers in off-line AC/DC adapter and SMPS auxiliary supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the TD221IDT datasheet, TD221IDT pinout, TD221IDT application, or TD221IDT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator architecture (TPR + VREG), SO-8 package thermal resistance (RthJA = 150°C/W), startup current (<230 µA), and gate drive timing (tpd = 200 ns, tgmin = 80 ns).
Technical Context
The TD221IDT integrates three functional blocks: a two-point regulator (TPR) that switches the charge pump at 13.6V ON / 12.4V OFF hysteresis, a 5V linear regulator (VOUT) with ±150 mV load regulation over 10–25 mA, and a push-pull gate driver with rail-to-rail output swing (VOH = VCC−2.0 V, VOL = 0.5 V at 10 mA).
Its UVLO circuit features 7.8 V turn-on and 15 V turn-off thresholds with 5 V hysteresis, and the IN input exhibits 1.8 V turn-on / 1.0 V turn-off thresholds with 0.5 V hysteresis-enabling robust noise immunity in high-noise off-line environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOUT | 5.0 V ±150 mV; stable MCU supply under 25 mA load variation |
| Isource/Isink | 60 mA / 120 mA; drives MOSFET gates up to ~1 nF at 300 kHz |
| UVLO Thresholds | 7.8 V (ON), 15 V (OFF); prevents operation during brown-out or overvoltage |
| TPR Switching Points | 13.6 V (ON), 12.4 V (OFF); regulates charge pump for stable VCC generation |
| tpd, tgmin | 200 ns propagation delay, 80 ns minimum pulse width; supports fast-switching topologies |
| RthJA | 150 °C/W; enables 500 mW power dissipation in SO-8 without forced cooling |
| ESD Rating | 2 kV HBM; protects against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge |
Pinout & Package
TD221IDT is housed in an SO-8 (Small Outline, 150 mil width) plastic micro-package per JEDEC MS-012, with exposed pad not present and standard lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Power supply input | Connects to startup resistor and supply capacitor for internal bias generation |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Analog output | Regulated 5 V output for MCU core logic; requires 0.1–1 µF ceramic decoupling |
| GND (Pin 6) | Signal ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital functions; must be low-impedance |
| IN (Pin 4) | Digital input | CMOS-compatible control signal; 1.8 V threshold ensures noise margin >0.5 V |
| GATE (Pin 5) | Gate drive output | Push-pull driver capable of sourcing 60 mA / sinking 120 mA into capacitive loads |
| VSUP (Pin 7) | Charge pump input | Accepts switched voltage from external diode-capacitor network for VCC boost |
| VCAP (Pin 8) | Charge pump capacitor node | Connects to external capacitor (typically 220 nF) to stabilize TPR operation |
| NC (Pin 3) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated two-point regulator (TPR) | Automatically enables/disables charge pump based on VCC level (12.4 V / 13.6 V), eliminating external control logic |
| 5 V linear regulator with low dropout | Delivers regulated 5 V at up to 25 mA with only 100 mV dropout at full load, reducing heat vs. standard LDOs |
| Low standby current | 230 µA max at −25°C to +125°C when UVLO active, enabling energy-efficient sleep modes |
| Fast gate drive response | 200 ns IN-to-GATE propagation delay and 80 ns minimum pulse width support high-frequency PWM control |
| Robust input hysteresis | 0.5 V IN hysteresis (1.0 V to 1.8 V transition) prevents chatter in noisy off-line environments |
Applications
| AC/DC Auxiliary Supply | SMPS Controller Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gate driver with integrated regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TD220IDT | 3.3 V regulator output; identical TPR, gate drive, and pinout | Used where MCU requires 3.3 V instead of 5 V; same thermal and timing specs | Select when target MCU operates at 3.3 V logic; drop-in replacement except for VOUT voltage |
| ST7FLITE09Y0M6 | MCU with embedded gate driver and LDO; no TPR; different pinout and firmware dependency | Requires software integration; lacks autonomous TPR regulation and UVLO hysteresis | Choose only if system already uses ST7 platform and firmware resources are available for driver control |
Compared with TD220IDT, TD221IDT offers higher VOUT (5 V vs. 3.3 V) for legacy 5 V MCUs, while ST7FLITE09Y0M6 trades autonomy for integration-requiring firmware to replicate TPR behavior and lacking guaranteed UVLO hysteresis.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable capacitive load on the VOUT pin?
The TD221IDT datasheet specifies a safe capacitive load range of 0.1 µF to 1 µF on VOUT at 10 mA load. Using >1 µF may cause instability or overshoot during load transients due to phase margin reduction in the internal feedback loop. Ceramic capacitors within this range provide optimal transient response and ripple suppression without compromising regulation.
Can TD221IDT drive a 1000 pF gate capacitance directly?
Yes-TD221IDT can drive up to ~1 nF gate capacitance at 300 kHz with acceptable rise/fall times, as confirmed by its 60 mA source / 120 mA sink capability and 200 ns propagation delay. However, for 1000 pF loads, layout parasitics must be minimized, and gate resistor selection should balance switching speed against EMI and dV/dt-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations.
How does the two-point regulator interact with the UVLO circuit?
The TPR and UVLO operate independently but synergistically: UVLO disables all outputs (including VOUT and GATE) when VCC drops below 7.8 V, while the TPR modulates the charge pump only when VCC crosses 12.4 V / 13.6 V thresholds. This allows the IC to remain fully functional down to UVLO cutoff while optimizing VCC efficiency above that point-no interaction or priority arbitration is required.
Is the NC pin (Pin 3) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must be left floating per STMicroelectronics' design guidance. Grounding it may introduce unintended leakage paths or coupling noise into the sensitive VCC and VCAP nodes. Layout best practice recommends omitting any copper pour or trace connection to Pin 3 and ensuring adequate clearance from adjacent nets.
