Product details

Overview

VN06SP-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 features 60 V V_DSS, 0.18 Ω R_DS(on) at T_j = 25°C, 1.9 A nominal current (ISO-defined), integrated thermal shutdown, under-voltage protection, and open-drain diagnostic output. Used in body electronics for lamp and solenoid driving.

For engineers reviewing the VN06SP-E datasheet, VN06SP-E pinout, VN06SP-E application, or VN06SP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its -18 V inductive demagnetization clamp, 9 A continuous output at T_c = 85°C, ISO-compliant open-load detection timing (t_1(on)/t_1(off) = 1–10 ms), and load-dump pulse 5 level II immunity without external components.

Technical Context

The VN06SP-E integrates a VIPower MOSFET with embedded protection logic and diagnostics. Its high-side architecture enables direct battery-switching of grounded loads, while the internal negative-voltage clamp (-14 to -24 V) ensures fast inductive energy dissipation during turn-off. The device implements ISO 16750-2 compliant fault detection with programmable filtering on the status output.

Thermal protection activates at 140°C junction temperature and resets at 125°C, enabling automatic recovery after overtemperature events. Input logic is 5 V compatible with 0.5 V hysteresis, and the open-drain diagnostic pin reports open load (off/on state), short-to-V_CC, and overtemperature via voltage-level encoding per truth table.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DSS	60 V - Maximum drain-source breakdown voltage; supports 24 V automotive systems with margin for transients.
R_DS(on)	0.18 Ω (typ.) at I_OUT = 1.9 A, T_j = 25°C - Enables low conduction loss and <2.75 V drop at 8.5 A.
I_OUT (cont.)	9 A at T_c = 85°C - Continuous current rating defined at case temperature, not ambient; requires thermal pad design.
V_demag	-18 V (typ.) - Negative clamp voltage during inductive turn-off; reduces demag time and power dissipation by >50% vs. freewheeling diode.
t_1(on)/t_1(off)	1–10 ms - ISO-defined open-load filtering window; prevents false fault reporting from brief disconnections.
V_USD	5 V - Undervoltage shutdown threshold; disables output below battery voltage to prevent erratic switching.
R_thj-case	2.4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; mandates minimum FR-4 copper pad area for 9 A operation.

Pinout & Package

Package: PowerSO-10™ - Exposed die-pad thermally enhanced surface-mount package with 10 terminals, optimized for high-current automotive applications and PCB heat sinking.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (GND)	Ground reference	Power ground return path; connects to exposed pad for thermal conduction and EMI control.
2 (IN)	Logic input	5 V-compatible digital control signal; 0.8 V low / 2 V high thresholds with 0.5 V hysteresis.
3 (V_CC)	Supply input	Battery rail connection (5.5–26 V); withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (46.5 V) without external clamping.
4–5, 7–8 (OUT)	Power output	Parallel-connected high-side output terminals; carry full load current (up to 9 A) with shared R_DS(on).
6 (STAT)	Open-drain diagnostic	Reports faults: open load (high), short-to-V_CC/overtemp (low); requires external pull-up resistor.
9–10 (NC)	No connect	Internally unconnected pins; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid latch-up or thermal derating.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated fast demagnetization	Clamps inductive load to -18 V (typ.), reducing demag time and power loss by >50% versus passive diodes.
ISO-compliant diagnostics	Meets ISO 16750-2 and ISO 26262 ASIL-B readiness with 5 ms filtered open-load detection and fault-specific STAT signaling.
Load-dump immunity	Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (46.5 V) at Level II without external components; Level III supported with 150 Ω + 1000 μF filter.
Thermal self-protection	Shuts down at 140°C junction temperature and auto-recovers at 125°C; sensor placed at hottest die region for <10 μs response.
Reverse-battery resilience	Survives -26 V reverse supply when protected by Schottky diode on GND pin; supports dual-ground architectures to eliminate threshold shift.

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 only; identical electrical specs and pinout to VN06SP-E.	No difference - same automotive qualification, thermal performance, and diagnostic behavior.	Select for automated SMT assembly; no functional trade-offs.
IPS1021H	Higher R_DS(on) (0.45 Ω typ.), lower I_OUT (4.5 A), no integrated demag clamp; requires external Zener.	Limited to lower-power loads; lacks -18 V fast demag, increasing solenoid release time and coil stress.	Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance; verify thermal margin at 4.5 A with R_thj-case = 3.5 °C/W.

Compared with STVN06SPTR, VN06SP-E offers identical functionality in tube packaging for prototyping and low-volume builds; versus IPS1021H, it delivers 2× higher current capability, integrated -18 V demag, and superior load-dump immunity-critical for safety-critical body electronics.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating current for VN06SP-E in free-air conditions?

The VN06SP-E is rated for 9 A continuous current only when case temperature (T_c) is maintained at ≤85°C via proper PCB copper pour and thermal vias. In free-air (no heatsinking), derating applies: maximum sustainable current drops to ~3.2 A at T_c = 85°C due to R_thj-amb = 50°C/W. Always validate thermal design using measured T_j under worst-case load and ambient conditions.

Does VN06SP-E require an external flyback diode when driving inductive loads?

No. The VN06SP-E integrates active demagnetization that clamps the load to -18 V (typ.) during turn-off, eliminating the need for an external flyback diode. This reduces board space, eliminates diode forward-voltage loss, and cuts demagnetization time by up to 70% compared to passive solutions-critical for fast-acting solenoids and valves.

How does the STAT pin indicate open-load faults in both ON and OFF states?

In OFF state, STAT goes high (open-drain pulled up) if no load is connected; in ON state, STAT goes low if output is shorted to V_CC or junction temperature exceeds 140°C. Open-load detection uses 5 ms filtering (t_1(on)/t_1(off)) to reject noise, while overtemperature forces immediate STAT low with no delay-ensuring real-time thermal fault reporting per ISO requirements.

Can VN06SP-E be used in 24 V commercial vehicle systems without additional protection?

Yes. VN06SP-E supports V_CC up to 26 V and withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (46.5 V) at Level II without external components. For Level III (higher energy), add a 150 Ω resistor between GND and chassis ground plus a 1000 μF capacitor from V_CC to ground-verified in ST's application note AN4029 for 24 V truck systems.
