Product details
Overview
TSM101ACDT from STMicroelectronics is a precision voltage and current controller IC integrating a 1.24V ±1% bandgap reference, two ORed operational amplifiers (1MHz GBW), and an enableable 1.4mA current source - all in an SO-8 package. It serves as secondary-side feedback controller in isolated SMPS battery chargers, delivering simultaneous CV/CC regulation with optocoupler-driven PWM control.
For engineers reviewing the TSM101ACDT datasheet, TSM101ACDT pinout, TSM101ACDT application, or TSM101ACDT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-loop error amplification architecture, 4.5–32V supply range, 1.24V reference accuracy, built-in current-source offset capability for multi-stage charging, and SO-8 thermal performance under continuous 10mA reference load.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent error amplifiers whose outputs are logically ORed (via internal diodes) to drive a single open-collector output stage capable of sinking ≥15mA at 2.5V. This architecture ensures fail-safe priority: current-limit loop dominates voltage-regulation loop when both are active.
Its integrated 1.24V reference exhibits ≤100ppm/°C temperature drift and ≤15mV load regulation (1–10mA), while the current generator enables precise charge-current adjustment via pin 2 (Csen) - activated below 0.6V, disabled above 2V - allowing dynamic offset of the current-sense voltage by up to 140mV using external R4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Reference | 1.24V ±1% (TSM101A grade), enabling 1.5% end-of-charge voltage accuracy in battery chargers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 32V DC - supports wide-input SMPS designs including universal AC adapters and industrial power supplies |
| Reference Output Current | 10mA max - sufficient to bias standard resistor-divider networks without external buffering |
| Op-Amp Gain-Bandwidth | 1MHz - provides stable loop compensation for typical flyback converters operating up to 500kHz |
| Current Source Accuracy | 1.4mA ±15%, enabling predictable 200mA–700mA charge-current offsets via 100Ω–68Ω R4 resistors |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±7mV - ensures <10mV sensing error in current loops using 200mV across R5 |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 80dB - maintains regulation integrity despite ground noise in high-side sense configurations |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 (Plastic Micropackage), 150°C max junction temperature, θJA = 130–200°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Vref) | Voltage Reference Output | 1.24V precision reference node; must not be shorted; drives R6/R7 divider for voltage feedback |
| 2 (Csen) | Current Source Enable Input | Logic-level control: ≤0.6V enables 1.4mA sink; ≥2V disables; used to switch between charge profiles |
| 3 (Crref) | Current Limit Reference Input | Reference node for current-loop op-amp; sets threshold via R2/R3 divider tied to sense resistor R5 |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground | Common return for reference, amplifiers, and current source; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 (Crin) | Current Sense Input | Inverting input of current-loop op-amp; connected directly to low-side of R5 for accurate current measurement |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | ORed Amplifier Output | Open-collector output driving optocoupler LED; sinks ≥15mA to reduce primary-side PWM duty cycle |
| 7 (Vrin) | Voltage Regulation Input | Inverting input of voltage-loop op-amp; connected to R6/R7 divider tap for output voltage sampling |
| 8 (Vcc) | Power Supply Input | 4.5–32V supply rail; requires local 10µF bypass (C4) due to internal reference and amplifier quiescent current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent error amplifiers with ORed output | Ensures current-limit priority over voltage regulation - critical for safe battery charging and overload protection |
| Enableable 1.4mA current source | Allows programmable current-offset without external DAC or microcontroller; supports dual-rate NiCd/NiMH charging |
| 1.24V ±1% internal reference | Eliminates need for external precision reference; achieves ≤1.5% total output voltage tolerance in production chargers |
| 4.5–32V wide supply range | Operates directly from SMPS auxiliary winding or post-regulated rail - no LDO required for 12V/24V systems |
| SO-8 and DIP-8 packaging | Enables drop-in replacement of TL431-based designs while adding current control; SO-8 supports automated assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage and current controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431AILP | Single shunt reference only; no current source or dual op-amps; requires external op-amps for current sensing | Lacks integrated current-loop control; suitable only for voltage-only regulation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated CC functionality |
| UC3907DW | Dedicated battery charger controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; higher pin count; no internal reference | Targets high-power Li-ion systems with SMBus interface; not pin-compatible | Select for multi-cell Li-ion with state-of-charge management, not for simple NiCd/NiMH CV/CC |
Compared with TL431AILP and UC3907DW, TSM101ACDT uniquely integrates reference, dual error amplifiers, and programmable current source in SO-8 - reducing BOM count by 3–5 components while enabling seamless CV/CC transition in cost-sensitive battery chargers.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TSM101ACDT's reference pin (Pin 1)?
The Vref pin delivers up to 10mA continuously at 1.24V with ≤15mV load regulation. Exceeding this current causes reference voltage droop and compromises CV accuracy. For higher loads, buffer with a unity-gain op-amp or add a 1kΩ series resistor with local decoupling.
Can the TSM101ACDT operate with a 3.3V supply?
No - the absolute minimum supply voltage is 4.5V per datasheet specifications. At 3.3V, the internal bandgap reference fails to regulate, op-amps saturate, and the current source becomes inactive. Use a dedicated LDO or auxiliary winding to ensure ≥4.5V at Pin 8.
How does the ORed output architecture affect loop stability in SMPS designs?
The internal diode-OR forces the more negative amplifier output to dominate, ensuring current-limit loop overrides voltage loop during overload. This avoids conflicting signals but requires careful compensation: C2/C3 (100nF) must be placed close to Pins 6/7 to damp high-frequency peaking caused by optocoupler CTR variation.
Is the TSM101ACDT RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - TSM101ACDT is manufactured in ST's RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SO-8 package (ECOPACK2). The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3 and supports lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak.
