STNRG328S EEPROM programming procedure
Introduction
This document describes the procedure to reprogram the EEPROM memory of the STNRG328S device mounted on boards
with STC/HSTC topologies. The procedure involves downloading the binary file stsw-stc in hex format using the USB/TTL-
RS232 cable adapter.
The example below shows a board with STC topology and STNRG328S mounted. The design is based on X7R components
(switch capacitors and resonant inductors) for rate conversion 4:1 (from 48 V input bus to 12 V Vout), able to deliver 1 kW power
in server applications.

The binary code stsw-stc can be downloaded from the link https://www.st.com/en/product/stnrg328s. The stsw-stc supports the
PMBUS communication. You can find the command list and more information about the device at the same location.
Important:
Contact the local sales office when programming the chip for the first time.

UM2988 Downloading firmware Downloading firmware For the reprogramming of the EEPROM memory of the STNRG328S device, we will refer to the X7R-1kW board shown in Figure 1. The stsw-stc firmware is considered already installed. The board uses Pin 1 and Pin 32 as UART. The firmware configures these shared I2C pins as UART because it needs to enable the bootloader through UART. -
