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 VDSS, 0.18 Ω RDS(on) at Tj = 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 Tc = 85°C, ISO-compliant open-load detection timing (t1(on)/t1(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-VCC, and overtemperature via voltage-level encoding per truth table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source breakdown voltage; supports 24 V automotive systems with margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) | 0.18 Ω (typ.) at IOUT = 1.9 A, Tj = 25°C - Enables low conduction loss and <2.75 V drop at 8.5 A. |
| IOUT (cont.) | 9 A at Tc = 85°C - Continuous current rating defined at case temperature, not ambient; requires thermal pad design. |
| Vdemag | -18 V (typ.) - Negative clamp voltage during inductive turn-off; reduces demag time and power dissipation by >50% vs. freewheeling diode. |
| t1(on)/t1(off) | 1–10 ms - ISO-defined open-load filtering window; prevents false fault reporting from brief disconnections. |
| VUSD | 5 V - Undervoltage shutdown threshold; disables output below battery voltage to prevent erratic switching. |
| Rthj-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 (VCC) | 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 RDS(on). |
| 6 (STAT) | Open-drain diagnostic | Reports faults: open load (high), short-to-VCC/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 RDS(on) (0.45 Ω typ.), lower IOUT (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 Rthj-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 (Tc) 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 Tc = 85°C due to Rthj-amb = 50°C/W. Always validate thermal design using measured Tj 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 VCC or junction temperature exceeds 140°C. Open-load detection uses 5 ms filtering (t1(on)/t1(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 VCC 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 VCC to ground-verified in ST's application note AN4029 for 24 V truck systems.
