Product details

Overview

VN5E006ASP-E from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel automotive high-side driver IC using VIPower® M0-5 technology in PowerSO-10 package, delivering 6 mΩ on-resistance, 90 A current limitation, and analog current sense with ±12% ratio drift over -40 °C to 150 °C. It drives 12 V grounded resistive/inductive/capacitive loads with integrated diagnostics including off-state open-load detection, short-to-VCC diagnosis, and thermal shutdown with auto-restart.

For engineers reviewing the VN5E006ASP-E datasheet, VN5E006ASP-E pinout, VN5E006ASP-E application, or VN5E006ASP-E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, automotive-grade protection timing behavior, and real-world diagnostic enable (DE) signal interaction - all critical for ECU power stage design, load dump resilience, and functional safety compliance.

Technical Context

The device implements active power limitation during inrush and overload events, dynamically clamping output voltage to limit energy dissipation while maintaining precise current sensing via dedicated CS pin. Its CMOS-compatible 3.0 V input interface enables direct connection to microcontrollers without level-shifting.

Protection logic integrates undervoltage shutdown (4.5 V threshold), overvoltage clamp (41–52 V), reverse battery tolerance (-16 V), and thermal shutdown at 150 °C with 7 °C hysteresis and auto-restart. Diagnostic feedback includes proportional ISENSE current (K₀ = 10.7 kA/A typ), DE-controlled enable/disable, and fault-specific analog response (e.g., VSENSEH = 8 V under overtemperature).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
RON (typ)	6 mΩ at 10 A, 25 °C - enables low conduction loss and minimal self-heating in 12 V automotive systems
ILIMH (typ)	90 A short-circuit current - defines safe energy-limited trip point during sustained overload
VCC range	4.5–28 V operating, 41 V transient - supports cold-crank, load-dump, and wide-battery-range operation
Current sense ratio	K₀ = 10.7 kA/A ±12% - delivers accurate analog feedback across full temperature range for closed-loop monitoring
IS (off-state)	2 µA - ensures ultra-low quiescent current for always-on vehicle modules
TTSD	150 °C thermal shutdown - triggers auto-restart after cooldown to 135 °C, enabling fault recovery without MCU intervention
Input compatibility	3.0 V CMOS logic - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with modern automotive MCUs

Pinout & Package

Package: PowerSO-10 - thermally enhanced exposed die-pad package optimized for high-current automotive power stages, with R_thj-case = 0.45 °C/W for efficient heat transfer to PCB copper.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VCC	Battery supply input	Accepts 4.5–28 V DC with 41 V transient tolerance; powers internal circuitry and output stage
OUTPUT	High-side switched output	Drives grounded loads; features active voltage clamping and fast demagnetization energy handling
GND	Power and signal reference	Common return path for load current, sense circuitry, and logic; requires low-impedance PCB layout
INPUT	CMOS-compatible control input	3.0 V logic threshold with 0.25 V hysteresis; controls OUTPUT state directly without external pull-up
CURRENT SENSE	Analog current feedback output	Delivers proportional current (I_SENSE) for real-time load monitoring; supports shared resistor via DE pin
DE	Diagnostic Enable control	Active-high enable for current sense and diagnostics; pulling low disables analog output to share external sense resistor

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Proportional analog current sense	±12% full-temperature accuracy (−40 °C to 150 °C) enables reliable load monitoring without calibration
Off-state open-load detection	Validated at 8–18 V VCC with 10–100 mA threshold - detects disconnected loads before system startup
Short-to-VCC diagnosis	Detects output shorted to battery rail via dedicated sensing path - prevents false overcurrent trips
Inrush current management	Active power limitation limits peak energy during capacitive load turn-on, reducing stress on MOSFET and PCB traces
Reverse battery protection	Self-switching Power MOSFET blocks −16 V reverse polarity without external diodes or fuses

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
TPS27081AQPWPRQ1	Lower current limit (5.5 A), no analog current sense, only digital fault flag	Suitable for low-power sensors and indicators, not for high-current actuators	Select when cost and footprint are prioritized over diagnostic granularity and current capability
VN7050AJTR	Higher R_ON (10 mΩ), lower ILIMH (60 A), same PowerSO-10 package and DE pin function	Targeted at less demanding loads where thermal margin is relaxed	Choose for legacy designs requiring drop-in replacement with reduced current rating and simplified thermal design

Compared with TPS27081AQPWPRQ1 and VN7050AJTR, the VN5E006ASP-E uniquely combines 90 A current limiting, ±12% analog sense accuracy over full automotive temperature range, and integrated reverse battery protection - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-energy actuator drive with full diagnostic coverage.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable transient voltage on VCC?

The VN5E006ASP-E supports up to 41 V transient supply voltage for durations under 400 ms with load resistance > 0.5 Ω, complying with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements. This rating is validated under defined thermal and load conditions and must be implemented with appropriate external TVS clamping for system-level robustness.

How does the DE pin affect current sense functionality?

Pulling DE low disables the analog current sense output and associated diagnostics, allowing multiple VN5E006ASP-E devices to share a single external sense resistor. When DE is high, the device delivers proportional I_SENSE with guaranteed ±12% ratio drift over temperature and load current range.

Can the VN5E006ASP-E drive inductive loads without external flyback components?

Yes - the device integrates active demagnetization clamping that limits V_OUT to V_CC − 28 V during turn-off, enabling safe switching of inductive loads up to 600 mJ per pulse (L = 1.4 mH, V_bat = 13.5 V). External snubbers are optional but recommended for higher-energy or faster-switching applications.

What is the thermal shutdown behavior during sustained overload?

Under sustained overload, the device enters thermal shutdown at 150 °C, disables OUTPUT, and automatically restarts once junction temperature falls to 135 °C. The 7 °C hysteresis prevents oscillation, and repeated cycles require software-level intervention to avoid reliability degradation per ST's application guidance.
