ST1S40PUR Présentation
A step-down (buck) converter is a type of DC-DC switching regulator that steps down an input voltage to a lower output voltage with high efficiency. Unlike linear regulators, which dissipate excess power as heat, buck converters use an inductor and switching elements to transfer energy in discrete packets, achieving efficiencies often above 85%. In the power management hierarchy, a buck converter is a type of switching regulator, which is a subset of voltage regulators, which in turn are part of power management ICs (PMICs) used in virtually all electronic systems to provide stable, efficient power rails.
Key features of the ST1S40PUR include a fixed 1.5MHz switching frequency, which allows the use of small external components (inductor and capacitors), reducing PCB footprint. The device offers a low quiescent current of 1.5mA in light-load operation, and a shutdown mode that reduces current consumption to less than 1uA. Protection features include overcurrent protection (OCP), thermal shutdown, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO). The DFN6 package (3mm x 3mm) has a thermal resistance of 45°C/W, enabling efficient heat dissipation in compact designs.
The ST1S40PUR uses a current-mode control architecture with internal compensation, simplifying the design process. The high switching frequency minimizes the size of the output inductor (typically 2.2uH to 4.7uH) and output capacitors, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The device also features a soft-start function to limit inrush current during startup, and an enable pin for power sequencing.
Typical applications include distributed power systems, set-top boxes, LCD TVs, networking equipment, and industrial control systems. The wide input range and high output current make it suitable for powering FPGAs, DSPs, and microprocessors from 12V or 5V rails. In set-top boxes, the ST1S40PUR efficiently converts a 12V input to a 3.3V or 1.8V rail for core logic, reducing heat and improving reliability.
When designing with the ST1S40PUR, ensure proper PCB layout with short, wide traces for high-current paths and a solid ground plane. Place the input capacitor close to the VIN pin and the output inductor close to the SW pin to minimize parasitic inductance. The exposed pad should be soldered to a large copper area for thermal management.

Principaux différenciateurs
- Higher switching frequency (1.5MHz) enables smaller external components (vs TPS54331)
- Same die as ST1S40PHR but in a smaller DFN6 package (vs ST1S40PHR)
- Wide input voltage range (4V to 18V) with 3A output (vs MP2307)
Notes de conception
For optimal performance, place the input capacitor (10uF ceramic) as close as possible to the VIN pin and the output inductor (2.2uH to 4.7uH) close to the SW pin. Use a solid ground plane and short, wide traces for high-current paths. The exposed pad should be soldered to a large copper area for thermal dissipation.
The DFN6 package has a thermal resistance of 45°C/W. At 3A output with a 12V to 3.3V conversion, power dissipation is approximately 2.6W, resulting in a temperature rise of 117°C. Ensure adequate copper area and airflow to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 18V. Use a Schottky diode for the bootstrap capacitor if needed. Ensure the feedback resistor divider uses 1% tolerance resistors to maintain output voltage accuracy. The soft-start capacitor (if used) controls startup time; do not omit it if inrush current is a concern.
