Product details
Overview
TSM101ID from STMicroelectronics is a dual-loop voltage and current controller IC for secondary-side feedback in isolated SMPS, integrating a 1.24V ±1% precision bandgap reference, two ORed op-amps (1 MHz GBW), a programmable 1.4 mA current source with enable/disable control, 4.5–32 V supply range, and SO8 package. It is used in battery chargers to simultaneously regulate output voltage (e.g., 15.2 V) and limit charge current (e.g., 700 mA / 200 mA).
For engineers reviewing the TSM101ID datasheet, TSM101ID pinout, TSM101ID application, or TSM101ID equivalent, key selection concerns include its dual-loop error amplification architecture, optocoupler-compatible open-collector output, temperature-stable reference (≤100 ppm/°C), and pin-specific current-source enable threshold (0.6 V on Csen).
Technical Context
The TSM101ID implements two independent control loops-voltage regulation via Vrin/Crref comparison against the internal 1.24 V reference, and current limiting via Crin sensing-whose outputs are logically ORed through integrated diodes before driving the common OUTPUT pin. This enables fail-safe prioritization of current-limiting action over voltage regulation.
Its built-in current generator (Io = 1.4 mA, ±0.03 mA line regulation) injects an offset into the current-sense path when Csen < 0.6 V, allowing dynamic adjustment of charge current without external components. The reference exhibits ≤15 mV load regulation (1–10 mA) and ≤10 mV line regulation (5–32 V), supporting stable operation across wide input and output conditions.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431 + LM358 | Discrete solution: TL431 provides reference only; LM358 adds one op-amp; no integrated current source or OR logic. | Requires ≥4 external resistors and 2 capacitors to match TSM101ID's dual-loop function; no Csen-controlled current offset. | Select when design requires independent tuning of voltage and current loops or operates outside 4.5–32 V supply range. |
| UC3907 | Dedicated current-mode controller with 2.5 V reference, higher supply voltage (up to 40 V), but no integrated voltage reference or ORed output. | Designed for primary-side current sensing; lacks secondary-side optocoupler drive capability and dual-loop integration. | Select for high-power (>100 W) designs requiring primary-side current programming and thermal shutdown features. |
Compared with TL431+LM358, TSM101ID reduces component count by 60% and enables seamless current-profile switching; versus UC3907, it offers lower system cost and simpler layout for secondary-side regulated SMPS under 50 W.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current the TSM101ID can sink on the OUTPUT pin?
The TSM101ID OUTPUT pin sinks up to 15 mA minimum at VOL = 2.5 V across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +105°C). This is sufficient to drive standard optocouplers like PC817 or PS2561 directly without external transistors, enabling robust feedback to primary-side PWM controllers in isolated topologies.
How does the Csen pin control the internal current source?
The Csen pin enables the 1.4 mA current source when held below 0.6 V (typically grounded); it disables the source when pulled above 2.0 V (e.g., via 10 kΩ pull-up to Vcc). This allows simple two-state current limiting-e.g., 700 mA nominal charge current drops to 200 mA when Csen is grounded-without software or additional logic.
Can the TSM101ID replace a TL431 in existing designs?
Yes, but with circuit modifications: TSM101ID's Vrin and Crref pins require separate resistor dividers for voltage and current loops, unlike TL431's single reference input. Its OUTPUT pin replaces TL431's cathode/anode, and GND must be tied to the shunt resistor's low side. Layout changes are needed to accommodate the 8-pin SO8 footprint and dual-loop routing.
What is the temperature range supported by the TSM101ID part number?
The "I" suffix in TSM101ID denotes an industrial temperature range of –40°C to +105°C. This is validated across all key parameters-including reference voltage (1.24 V ±1%), current source (1.4 mA ±0.2 mA), and op-amp gain-bandwidth (1 MHz min)-ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments like telecom rectifiers and industrial battery systems.
