Product details
Overview
VN06SP from STMicroelectronics is a high-side smart power solid-state relay in PowerSO-10™ package, designed for automotive-grade resistive and inductive load control with one side grounded. It delivers 1.9 A nominal current (ISO-defined), 0.18 Ω on-state resistance at 25 °C, 60 V drain-source breakdown voltage, and integrated thermal shutdown, under-voltage protection, and open-drain diagnostic output.
For engineers reviewing the VN06SP datasheet, VN06SP pinout, VN06SP application, or VN06SP equivalent, this device supports ISO-compliant automotive high-side switching with fast inductive demagnetization (−18 V clamp), 5 ms open-load filtering, and load-dump pulse 5 level II immunity-critical for body control modules, lighting drivers, and solenoid actuators.
Technical Context
The VN06SP integrates a VIPower MOSFET with embedded protection logic and diagnostics. Its input is 5 V logic-compatible with 0.5 V hysteresis, and its open-drain status output reports open load (off/on state), overtemperature (no delay), and short-to-VCC faults per ISO truth table behavior.
Inductive load handling uses active −18 V demagnetization clamping to reduce dissipation via energy recovery; thermal shutdown activates at 140 °C and resets at 125 °C, with junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.4 °C/W enabling 9 A continuous current at Tc = 85 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage, sufficient for 24 V automotive systems with load-dump margin |
| RDS(on) | 0.18 Ω @ Tj = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss at 1.9 A nominal load current |
| INOM | 1.9 A - ISO-defined nominal current at Tc = 85 °C and VCC = 13 V with VDS ≤ 0.5 V |
| ICONT | 9 A @ Tc = 85 °C - maximum continuous output without self-protection activation |
| VDEMAG | −18 V typical - fast inductive energy recovery during turn-off, reducing dissipation by >50% vs passive clamp |
| tOL filter | 5 ms - ISO-compliant open-load detection delay prevents false triggers from transient disconnections |
| VUSD | 5 V - undervoltage shutdown threshold ensures reliable operation only within valid supply range |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO-10™ - thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed die pad for low Rthj-case (2.4 °C/W), suitable for FR-4 PCBs with minimum recommended copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Logic Input | 5 V-tolerant digital enable signal with 0.5 V hysteresis; accepts 0.8 V/2 V thresholds per ISO |
| 2 (GND) | Power Ground | Reference for load return path; separate signal ground option avoids VIL/VIH shift under reverse battery |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Wide-range 5.5–26 V battery rail input; withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 Level II (46.5 V) unclamped |
| 4–5, 7–9 (OUT) | Power Output | Parallel-connected high-side output terminals delivering up to 9 A; bonded for low-inductance current path |
| 6 (STAT) | Open-Drain Diagnostic | Reports open load (off/on), short-to-VCC, and overtemperature; pulled low during fault, high-Z otherwise |
| 10 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused terminal; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Triggers at 140 °C junction temperature and auto-resets at 125 °C-no external reset required |
| Inductive demagnetization | Active −18 V clamp reduces turn-off energy dissipation and eliminates need for external flyback diode |
| ISO-compliant diagnostics | 5 ms filtered open-load detection and fault-specific STAT output behavior per ISO 16750 and ISO 26262 functional safety prep |
| Load-dump immunity | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 Level II (46.5 V) without external components; Level III supported with 150 Ω + 1000 μF |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side automotive switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STVN06SPTR | Tape-and-reel packaging variant; identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference; intended for automated SMT assembly | Select for volume production requiring reel-fed placement |
| BTS4141N | Lower RDS(on) (0.12 Ω), higher ICONT (12 A), but no integrated −18 V demag; requires external clamp diode | Lacks active demagnetization-unsuitable for high-frequency inductive switching without added components | Prefer when higher current and lower conduction loss outweigh demag simplicity |
Compared with STVN06SPTR, the VN06SP offers identical performance in cut-tape form; versus BTS4141N, it trades slightly higher RDS(on) for integrated −18 V demag, eliminating external components and simplifying layout for inductive loads.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for VN06SP and under what conditions?
The VN06SP supports 9 A maximum continuous output current at case temperature Tc = 85 °C with VCC = 13 V and no self-protection activation. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area per the PowerSO-10™ thermal data (Rthj-case = 2.4 °C/W), and excludes transient overload or short-circuit events.
How does the open-drain STAT pin behave during open-load and overtemperature faults?
In off-state open-load, STAT pulls low after 5 ms filtering; in on-state open-load or short-to-VCC, STAT also pulls low. During overtemperature, STAT goes low immediately-no delay-then remains low until junction cools to 125 °C reset threshold. No pull-up resistor is required externally.
Can VN06SP drive inductive loads without an external flyback diode?
Yes. The VN06SP provides internal −18 V demagnetization clamping during turn-off, enabling safe energy recovery from inductive loads such as solenoids and relays without external diodes. This reduces board space, cost, and EMI compared to passive clamp solutions.
Is VN06SP qualified for automotive applications and what standards does it meet?
Yes. The VN06SP is designed and tested to meet ISO 7637-2 (load dump Pulse 5 Level II), ISO 16750-2 (reverse battery, supply voltage variation), and ISO 26262 ASIL-ready functional safety requirements. While not formally AEC-Q100-certified in this revision, its VIPower process and test coverage align with automotive reliability expectations.
