Product details
Overview
TSM1051CD from STMicroelectronics is a constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) controller IC for secondary-side feedback in flyback SMPS, used in AC/DC adaptors and battery chargers. It integrates dual transconductance op-amps with ORed outputs, a 1.210 V ±0.5% bandgap voltage reference, and a –200 mV current-sense threshold. Delivers precision regulation with only three external components: voltage-divider resistors, sense resistor, and optional RC compensation.
For engineers reviewing the TSM1051CD datasheet, TSM1051CD pinout, TSM1051CD application, or TSM1051CD equivalent, this device supports accurate CV/CC loop control in space-constrained power supplies where low-voltage operation (2.5–12 V VCC), high mains rejection, and minimal BOM count are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The TSM1051CD implements two independent control loops: one voltage loop using an internal 1.210 V reference and transconductance gain Gmv = 3.5 mA/mV, and one current loop referenced to –200 mV with transconductance gain Gmi = 7 mA/mV. Both op-amp outputs are wired in common-collector (ORed) configuration to drive a single current-sink output stage.
It operates from 2.5 V to 12 V supply, features low input bias currents (50 nA at Vctrl, 25 µA at Ictrl), and enables full external compensation via accessible inverting inputs and output node. The SO-8 package supports higher thermal dissipation (RthJA = 130 °C/W) than SOT23-6, enabling stable operation up to 85 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage reference | 1.210 V ±0.5% at 25 °C; sets precise CV threshold via R1/R2 divider - enables ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature |
| Current sense threshold | –200 mV ±2% at 25 °C; defines CC trip point - allows accurate current limit setting with Rsense = Vsense/Ilim |
| Gmv (Vctrl gain) | 3.5 mA/mV; converts 1 mV error at Vctrl into 3.5 mA sink current - provides linear, predictable voltage loop response |
| Gmi (Ictrl gain) | 7 mA/mV; converts 1 mV error at Ictrl into 7 mA sink current - delivers fast, high-gain current limiting action |
| Output stage | Sinking-only OUT pin; 50 mA short-circuit current, 200 mV VOL @ 10 mA - drives optocoupler LED directly without external transistor |
| Supply range | 2.5 V to 12 V VCC; supports wide-input auxiliary supplies - eliminates need for dedicated LDO in many adaptor designs |
| Total supply current | 2 mA typical; excludes sinking current - enables low-power operation and reduces self-heating in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
Housed in an SO-8 (Small Outline-8) package per JEDEC MO178AB, with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 5.0 mm × 4.0 mm body, and 1.65 mm max height. RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® with lead-free second-level interconnect.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vctrl (Pin 1) | Voltage loop inverting input | Connected to mid-point of R1/R2 divider; deviation from 1.210 V generates proportional sink current to regulate output voltage |
| Gnd (Pin 8) | Power and signal reference | 0 V return for all analog circuitry and supply - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into CV/CC loops |
| Out (Pin 7) | Current-sink output | Drives optocoupler LED cathode; sinks up to 50 mA - no external transistor needed; series RLED limits current under high VCC |
| Ictrl (Pin 6) | Current loop inverting input | Connected to high-side of sense resistor; voltage drop below –200 mV triggers CC mode - enables accurate foldback or constant-current charging |
| Vsense (Pin 3) | Current loop non-inverting reference input | Internally tied to –200 mV reference; used to bias sense resistor low-side - ensures precise current threshold independent of ground bounce |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Positive supply rail | Power source for internal reference and op-amps; must stay within 2.5–12 V - can be derived from auxiliary winding or local LDO |
| Nc (Pin 4) | No connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on bond wire |
| Nc (Pin 5) | No connect | Not internally bonded - floating; no routing or copper pour required beneath this pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent CV/CC control loops | Enables single-chip compliance with USB PD, QC, and proprietary fast-charge protocols requiring both voltage and current regulation stages |
| ORed op-amp outputs | Guarantees that whichever loop (voltage or current) demands stronger correction dominates the OUT pin - prevents conflict and ensures safe foldback behavior |
| Low external component count | Only R1/R2 divider, Rsense, and optional RC network required - reduces BOM cost, PCB area, and qualification effort vs discrete solutions |
| Full external compensation access | Vctrl and Ictrl inverting inputs + OUT pin allow independent tuning of CV and CC loop stability - avoids oscillation during transient load steps |
| High AC mains rejection | Internal architecture minimizes sensitivity to primary-side ripple - maintains tight regulation even with low-cost transformer designs and minimal input filtering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant voltage and constant current control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL431 + LM358 | Discrete solution requiring ≥6 external components; no integrated –200 mV current reference or ORed outputs - needs external logic for CV/CC arbitration. | Used in legacy adaptors where cost-per-unit is prioritized over board space and design cycle time. | Select only when redesigning existing TL431-based platforms and BOM flexibility outweighs integration benefits. |
| UCC28704 | Primary-side digital controller with integrated HV start-up, QR control, and active clamp - no optocoupler needed; higher system efficiency but requires transformer redesign. | Targeted at new high-efficiency (>88%) designs where eliminating optocoupler improves reliability and reduces bill-of-materials. | Choose when upgrading to primary-side regulation and optimizing for efficiency, not when reusing existing flyback transformer and optocoupler layout. |
Compared with TL431+LM358, TSM1051CD reduces component count by 60% and eliminates CV/CC arbitration logic; versus UCC28704, it retains proven optocoupler-based isolation while offering lower design risk for cost-sensitive, volume production of legacy-compatible adaptors.

FAQ
What is the function of the Vsense pin on TSM1051CD?
The Vsense pin (Pin 3) is the non-inverting input of the internal current-sense amplifier and is internally biased to –200 mV. It connects to the low-side of the external sense resistor to establish the current-limit threshold. Unlike a generic comparator input, it forms part of a precision transconductance stage with 7 mA/mV gain and matched internal resistor dividers for ±2% threshold accuracy over temperature.
Can TSM1051CD operate with VCC below 3 V?
Yes - the device is specified down to 2.5 V VCC and functions reliably at this minimum, enabling use with low-dropout auxiliary windings or capacitive-dropper supplies. At 2.5 V, total supply current remains ≤2.2 mA, and output sink capability is reduced to ~27 mA, which is sufficient to drive most PC817-class optocouplers with appropriate RLED sizing.
How does the ORed output architecture prevent CV/CC conflict?
The two internal transconductance op-amps share a common collector output stage driving the OUT pin. When either loop demands increased sink current - e.g., voltage rises above setpoint or current exceeds limit - its output pulls the shared node lower. This inherent wired-OR ensures the more urgent condition always dominates, eliminating race conditions and guaranteeing monotonic foldback behavior without external arbitration logic.
Is TSM1051CD suitable for constant-power applications?
No - the TSM1051CD implements strictly constant-voltage and constant-current regulation with square-law V-I output characteristics. It lacks built-in power calculation, multiplication, or adaptive reference scaling. For constant-power control (e.g., PoE PSE), a dedicated digital controller or analog multiplier-based solution is required; this device supports only CV+CC boundary operation.
