Product details
Overview
VN02HSP-E from STMicroelectronics is a high-side smart power solid-state relay IC built with VIPower technology, designed for driving grounded resistive or inductive loads in automotive and industrial control systems. It features 60 V VDSS, 0.4 Ω RDS(on) at Tj = 25 °C, 6 A continuous output current, 5 V logic-compatible input, and open-drain diagnostic output for open-load and over-temperature detection.
For engineers reviewing the VN02HSP-E datasheet, VN02HSP-E pinout, VN02HSP-E application, or VN02HSP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal shutdown threshold (140–160 °C), under-voltage lockout (2.5–5 V), clamped VCC (36 V max), diagnostic status timing (>100 µs after switching edge), and ISO TR/17631 Level III load-dump immunity.
Technical Context
The VN02HSP-E integrates a high-side Power MOSFET with embedded protection circuitry including thermal shutdown, under-voltage lockout, short-circuit current limiting, and open-load detection. Its diagnostic output uses open-drain logic to signal fault conditions via voltage thresholds: low for normal operation, high for open-circuit or over-temperature.
It operates across -40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supports 9–36 V supply range (clamped at 36 V), and delivers controlled (di/dt)on (0.05–0.5 A/µs) and (di/dt)off (0.1–4 A/µs) for inductive load management. The device meets ISO TR/17631 Pulse 5 Level III load-dump immunity without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source breakdown voltage; defines safe operating voltage margin for 24 V automotive systems with load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 0.4 Ω @ IOUT = 3 A, Tj = 25 °C - On-resistance determines conduction loss and thermal rise under 6 A continuous load. |
| IOUT (cont.) | 6 A @ Tc = 25 °C - Continuous output current rating; derates with case temperature per Rthj-case = 4.4 °C/W. |
| VCC Range | 9–36 V - Supply voltage window enabling compatibility with 12 V and 24 V vehicle batteries; clamped at 36 V to prevent overstress. |
| TTSD | 140–160 °C - Thermal shutdown activation range; protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| VSTAT | < 0.4 V @ ISTAT = 1.6 mA - Low-level diagnostic output voltage ensures reliable TTL/CMOS interface with microcontroller inputs. |
| tSC | 1.5–5 ms - Short-circuit switch-off time at startup; limits energy dissipation during hard faults before thermal shutdown engages. |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in PENTAWATT vertical (order code VN02H), this 5-pin monolithic high-side switch uses a thermally enhanced through-hole package with isolated heatsink tab (pin 3). Pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = INPUT, pin 3 = DRAIN (output), pin 4 = SOURCE (load return), pin 5 = STATUS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Power ground connection; referenced for input logic and internal protection comparators. |
| 2 (INPUT) | Logic control input | 5 V compatible digital input; VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, with 0.5 V hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| 3 (DRAIN) | High-side output terminal | Switched positive output; connects to load anode; electrically isolated heatsink tab for thermal management. |
| 4 (SOURCE) | Load return path | Connects to grounded load cathode; forms current path with pin 3; not internally connected to GND. |
| 5 (STATUS) | Open-drain diagnostic output | Active-low fault indicator; pulled high externally; sinks current on open-load or over-temperature. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Auto-restart at ~125 °C after trip at 140–160 °C; prevents permanent damage during overload or poor cooling. |
| Open-load detection | STATUS pin asserts high when IOL < 5 mA (9–32 V VCC); enables real-time load integrity monitoring without external sense resistor. |
| Load-dump immunity | Withstands ISO TR/17631 Pulse 5 Level III (±65 V, 100 ms) without external clamping; reduces BOM count in automotive ECUs. |
| Low standby power | IS ≤ 50 µA off-state supply current; minimizes quiescent draw in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Reverse battery protection support | Compatible with Schottky diode between pin 1 and chassis ground; shifts VIH/VIL thresholds predictably for robust system integration. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Management System (EMS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Controlling headlight, fog lamp, or interior lighting circuits in 12 V/24 V vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch providing load isolation, diagnostics, and transient protection without discrete FET + driver + protection IC stack.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side smart power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STVN02H | Same die, identical electrical specs; differs only in packaging marking and tape/reel configuration (no "SP-E" suffix). | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs where SP-E is unavailable. | Select STVN02H when sourcing standard production reels; verify mechanical fit for PENTAWATT vertical footprint. |
| IPS1021H | Lower RDS(on) (0.25 Ω), higher IOUT (10 A), integrated current sense analog output (not open-drain STATUS). | Requires ADC input for diagnostics instead of GPIO; lacks open-load detection logic; supports higher power loads. | Choose IPS1021H for new designs needing higher current or analog current monitoring; avoid if STATUS pin logic level compatibility is required. |
Compared with STVN02H, the VN02HSP-E offers identical performance but with traceability-enhanced labeling for automotive PPAP; versus IPS1021H, it trades analog sensing for simpler GPIO-based fault reporting and lower cost in mid-power applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for VN02HSP-E?
The VN02HSP-E is rated for 6 A continuous output current at Tc = 25 °C. Current capability decreases with rising case temperature per its thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 4.4 °C/W); at Tc = 85 °C, derated current is approximately 3.5 A based on thermal limit calculations using Tj(max) = 150 °C.
Does VN02HSP-E require an external pull-up resistor on the STATUS pin?
Yes - the STATUS pin is open-drain and must be externally pulled up to a logic-compatible voltage (typically VCC or 5 V) with a resistor between 4.7 kΩ and 10 kΩ. This ensures proper high-level assertion during open-load or over-temperature events while limiting sink current to ≤1.6 mA per datasheet specification.
Can VN02HSP-E drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?
No - although it includes internal inductive clamp (Vdemag = -2 to -7 V), an external freewheeling diode is still required across the load to handle full energy dissipation during turn-off. The internal clamp only limits peak reverse voltage; omitting the external diode risks excessive power dissipation and thermal failure during repeated switching.
Is VN02HSP-E qualified to AEC-Q100 standards?
While not explicitly AEC-Q100 certified in its original 1999 datasheet, the VN02HSP-E shares the same VIPower M0-3 process and qualification history as AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified derivatives (e.g., VNQ5E050AK). Its -40 °C to +150 °C operating range, ISO load-dump immunity, and automotive-focused protection features align with Grade 1 requirements, and it is widely deployed in production automotive ECUs.
