Product details
Overview
VN06-E 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-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 VN06-E datasheet, VN06-E pinout, VN06-E application, or VN06-E equivalent, this device supports ISO-compliant automotive high-side switching with fast inductive demagnetization (-18 V clamp), logic-level input compatibility (2 V VIH), and fault diagnostics including open-load detection in both ON/OFF states.
Technical Context
The VN06-E implements ST's VIPower M0-3 technology to integrate a vertical power MOSFET, protection circuitry, and diagnostic logic in a single monolithic die. Its architecture enables direct 5 V logic interface, real-time overtemperature detection at 140 °C, and automatic reset at 125 °C without external intervention.
It features active inductive load management via internal negative-voltage clamp (−18 V typ.) during turn-off, reducing demagnetization energy dissipation by >70% versus passive snubbers. The open-drain status output provides ISO-aligned filtering (5 ms t₁(on)/t₁(off)) for robust fault reporting across battery voltage transients up to 46.5 V (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 Level II).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; ensures safe operation under automotive load dump (Pulse 5 Level II, 46.5 V) without external clamping. |
| RDS(on) | 0.18 Ω @ Tj = 25°C - Low conduction loss enabling ≤2.75 V drop at 8.5 A, critical for thermal management in confined engine bay environments. |
| IN | 1.9 A - ISO-defined nominal current at Tc = 85°C and VCC = 13 V; defines baseline load-driving capability per automotive standard. |
| IOUT(max) | 9 A @ Tc = 85°C - Continuous output current limit before self-protection activation; sets maximum sustained drive for solenoids or lamps. |
| Vdemag | −18 V (typ.) - Internally generated negative clamp voltage during turn-off; accelerates inductive energy dissipation and reduces MOSFET stress. |
| toff | 25 μs - Turn-off delay time with resistive load; enables precise PWM control of valves and actuators up to ~20 kHz. |
| VIL/VIH | 0.8 V / 2 V - Logic-compatible input thresholds; allows direct interfacing with MCU GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO-10™ - thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed die pad for low Rthj-case (2.4 °C/W), optimized for automotive PCBs using minimum recommended FR-4 copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Logic Input | CMOS-compatible control signal; accepts 0–26 V, with internal 6 V clamp and 0.5 V hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| 2 (GND) | Power Ground Reference | Return path for load current and internal bias; must be connected to chassis ground in reverse-battery protection configurations. |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Battery rail connection (5.5–26 V); withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 Level II (46.5 V) without external components. |
| 4 (OUT) | High-Side Switch Output | Drives loads between OUT and chassis ground; rated for 60 V blocking and 9 A continuous current at Tc = 85°C. |
| 5 (STAT) | Open-Drain Diagnostic Output | Reports open load (OFF/ON state), short-to-VCC, and overtemperature; pulled low during faults with 5 ms filtering per ISO requirements. |
| 6–10 (EP) | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical connection to GND; mandatory for achieving Rthj-case = 2.4 °C/W and full 27 W power dissipation rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 140 °C junction temperature and resets autonomously at 125 °C-eliminates need for external thermal monitoring or manual recovery. |
| Inductive Load Demagnetization | Internal −18 V clamp enables <6 μs current fall time (tf) and reduces demagnetization power loss by >70% vs. freewheeling diode solutions. |
| ISO-Compliant Open-Load Detection | 5 ms filtered status output (t₁(on)/t₁(off)) meets ISO 16750-2 and ISO 26262 ASIL-B readiness for fault reporting in safety-critical modules. |
| Reverse Battery Protection Ready | Supports Schottky diode-based reverse polarity protection (−26 V) with minimal impact on input thresholds when referenced to signal ground (pin 6). |
| Load Dump Immunity | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 Level II (46.5 V) without external components; Level III compliance achieved with 150 Ω + 1000 μF filter. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| INFINEON BTS724G | Higher RDS(on) (2.5 mΩ vs. 0.18 Ω), lower IN (0.5 A), no integrated Vdemag clamp; requires external freewheeling path. | Limited to low-power solenoids (<0.5 A); unsuitable for fast-switched inductive loads without added components. | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-current applications where demagnetization speed is non-critical. |
| NXP MC33883 | Lower VDSS (40 V), no open-load detection in OFF state, slower tf (15 μs), no ISO-aligned STAT filtering. | Not compliant with ISO 16750-2 Pulse 5 Level II; requires external TVS for load dump protection. | Use only in non-safety-critical 12 V systems with controlled transients and no open-load monitoring requirement. |
Compared with BTS724G and MC33883, the VN06-E uniquely combines ISO-compliant diagnostics, −18 V active demagnetization, and 60 V load dump immunity in a single chip-reducing system-level validation effort and enabling ASIL-B-ready designs without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for VN06-E, and under what conditions is it specified?
The VN06-E supports 9 A maximum continuous output current at case temperature (Tc) = 85 °C and VCC = 13 V, provided self-protection (thermal shutdown or overcurrent limiting) is not activated. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design using the PowerSO-10™ exposed pad with minimum recommended copper area on FR-4.
How does the VN06-E handle inductive load turn-off, and what is the significance of Vdemag = −18 V?
The VN06-E actively clamps the load voltage to −18 V (typ.) during turn-off, accelerating current decay and reducing demagnetization energy dissipation. This eliminates reliance on external freewheeling diodes and cuts power loss by >70% compared to passive solutions-critical for high-duty-cycle solenoid and valve applications.
Can the VN06-E detect open loads in both ON and OFF states, and how is this implemented?
Yes-the open-drain STAT pin reports open load in both states: high impedance in OFF state indicates disconnection, while low output in ON state signals open load, short-to-VCC, or overtemperature. Internal 5 ms filtering (per ISO standards) prevents false triggers from transient interruptions shorter than 5 ms.
What protection features does the VN06-E include, and are external components required for ISO 7637-2 compliance?
The VN06-E integrates thermal shutdown (140 °C), under-voltage lockout (5 V), overcurrent limiting, and open-load diagnostics. It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 Level II (46.5 V) without external components; Level III compliance requires only a 150 Ω resistor and 1000 μF capacitor on VCC.
