Product details
Overview
VN5E006ASPTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel automotive high-side driver IC using VIPower® M0-5 technology in PowerSO-10 package. It delivers 90 A current limiting, 6 mΩ on-resistance at 25 °C, and analog proportional current sense (K₀ = 10700 typ) for real-time load monitoring. Designed for 12 V grounded loads, it enables precise diagnostics and protection in engine control modules and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the VN5E006ASPTR-E datasheet, VN5E006ASPTR-E pinout, VN5E006ASPTR-E application, or VN5E006ASPTR-E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, diagnostic timing behavior, thermal shutdown auto-restart logic, current sense ratio drift limits (-12% to +12%), and PowerSO-10 PCB thermal impedance data per Figure 36.
Technical Context
The device integrates a protected PowerMOS output stage with active inrush management via power limitation, undervoltage shutdown (4.5 V threshold), overvoltage clamp (46 V typ), and reverse-battery protection enabled by self-switching MOSFET architecture. Its diagnostic subsystem uses an active-high DE pin to enable/disable analog current sense feedback and supports off-state open-load detection down to 10 mA threshold.
Current sensing operates across 5–25 A with K-ratio stability maintained via temperature-compensated internal scaling; fault reporting includes dedicated analog voltage outputs for short-to-VCC (8 V), overload (power limitation), and thermal shutdown (auto-restart at TR = 135 °C). All protections are hardware-asserted without MCU intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC operating range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump transients (41 V peak) |
| RON (typ) | 6 mΩ at 10 A, 25 °C - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 40 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ILIMH (typ) | 90 A - hardware-limited short-circuit current prevents wire harness damage during faults |
| Current sense ratio K₀ | 10700 ±12% - delivers 0.935 mA/A analog output with ≤12% full-temperature drift for accurate ECU current reconstruction |
| tDSENSE2H | 200–600 µs - maximum delay between output current rise and CS signal rise ensures timely fault capture in fast-switching loads |
| TTSD / TR | 150 °C shutdown / 135 °C restart - 15 °C hysteresis prevents thermal oscillation during sustained overload |
| IS (off-state) | 2 µA - ultra-low quiescent current meets ISO 16750-2 Class D requirements for always-on vehicle networks |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO-10 - thermally enhanced exposed-pad SO package with 0.45 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance (one channel ON), optimized for high-power automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Battery supply input | Accepts 4.5–28 V DC; clamped to 46 V during transients; powers internal logic and gate driver |
| OUTPUT | High-side switched output | Drives grounded loads; features active voltage drop limitation (25 mV max) and demag clamp (VCC−31 V) |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Common return path for load current, sense circuitry, and logic; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| INPUT | CMOS-compatible control input | 3.0 V/5.0 V logic compatible; 0.9 V low / 2.1 V high thresholds with 0.25 V hysteresis for noise immunity |
| CURRENT SENSE | Analog current monitor output | Delivers ISENSE = IOUT/K₀; supports external resistor (e.g., 3.9 kΩ) for 0–5 V scaling; leakage ≤2 µA |
| DE | Diagnostic Enable control | Active-high; disables current sense and diagnostics when low; enables sharing of external sense resistor across multiple channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Proportional analog current sense | K₀ = 10700 ±12% over −40 °C to +150 °C enables ECU-based load identification and predictive maintenance |
| Hardware thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Trips at 150 °C, resets at 135 °C - eliminates manual reset requirement while preventing cumulative thermal stress |
| Off-state open-load detection | 10–100 mA threshold with 5–20 µs response - detects broken wiring or disconnected solenoids before engine start |
| Reverse battery protection | Self-switching MOSFET blocks −16 V reverse polarity without external diodes - reduces BOM count and forward drop loss |
| Load dump immunity | Withstands 41 V transient (T < 400 ms) per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a - eliminates need for external TVS in most 12 V systems |
Applications
| Engine Control Valves | Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving fuel injector solenoids and EGR valves in gasoline/diesel ECUs under wide ambient temperature and vibration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch with real-time current feedback for closed-loop valve timing and coil health monitoring. Use Value: 200 µs current sense delay enables cycle-by-cycle current profiling; 90 A limit protects against coil short-circuit during cranking. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protected power switch with diagnostic reporting for OBD-II compliance and automated fault logging. Use Value: Off-state open-load detection (10 mA threshold) identifies lamp filament breakage; 2 µA standby current extends battery life in sleep mode. |
| Transmission Solenoid Drivers | ADAS Power Distribution |
|
Use Scenario: Managing shift solenoids and torque converter clutch actuators in automatic transmissions subject to high EMI and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust high-side driver with electromagnetic susceptibility <10 V/m and EMC-optimized layout per ST AN4707. Use Value: Very low EMI emissions reduce interference with radar/LiDAR receivers; 0.45 °C/W Rthj-case sustains 40 A continuous in compact packages. |
Use Scenario: Powering camera modules, radar sensors, and domain controllers in zonal architectures requiring functional safety (ASIL-B capable). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Safety-monitored power switch with thermal shutdown indication and short-to-VCC detection for fault containment. Use Value: Short-to-VCC diagnosis (via CS pin voltage >8 V) isolates sensor supply faults before system-level failure; auto-restart avoids permanent lockout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS4H160-Q1 | Higher RON (12 mΩ), no analog current sense - uses digital SPI diagnostics only | Requires external ADC for current measurement; lacks off-state open-load detection | Preferred when SPI interface and ASIL-D support are required over analog fidelity |
| VNQ5E013ASTR-E | Lower current limit (65 A), same PowerSO-10 package, identical pinout and sense ratio tolerance | Optimized for lower-power loads (e.g., door locks); shares same PCB footprint and firmware | Select for cost-sensitive designs where 65 A suffices and thermal margin is acceptable |
Compared with TPS4H160-Q1, VN5E006ASPTR-E offers superior analog current fidelity and faster fault detection latency; versus VNQ5E013ASTR-E, it delivers 38% higher current capability with identical thermal design and software compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable transient voltage on VCC?
The VN5E006ASPTR-E withstands 41 V transients for durations under 400 ms per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. This rating applies with RLOAD > 0.5 Ω and is validated in ST's application note AN4707. Exceeding 41 V or extending duration beyond 400 ms risks permanent damage to the internal clamp structure.
How does the current sense accuracy vary with temperature?
Current sense ratio drift is guaranteed ±12% over −40 °C to +150 °C for all load currents (5–25 A). At 25 °C, K₀ = 10700 typ; at 150 °C, deviation remains within ±12% due to on-die trimming and temperature compensation circuits - confirmed in Table 9 of DocID17753 Rev 9.
Can the DE pin be left floating?
No. Table 2 explicitly prohibits floating the DE pin. It must be pulled high (≥2.1 V) via 10 kΩ resistor to enable diagnostics or pulled low (≤0.9 V) to disable current sense. Floating causes undefined diagnostic behavior and may trigger false open-load reports due to internal leakage paths.
What is the thermal derating behavior above 100 °C case temperature?
Rthj-amb increases nonlinearly above 100 °C case temperature per Figure 36. At 125 °C case, maximum continuous output current drops to ~32 A (from 40 A at 25 °C) due to reduced thermal headroom. Derating follows the curve in Figure 26 (ILIMH vs Tcase) and must be applied in conjunction with PCB copper area and airflow conditions.
