Product details

Overview

VN5T006ASP-E from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel high-side driver with integrated analog current sense, designed for 24 V automotive loads (e.g., solenoids, valves, lamps). It features 6 mΩ on-state resistance, 115 A typical current limitation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and fault reporting via proportional current sense output. Used in engine control modules for fuel injector pre-driver stages.

For engineers reviewing the VN5T006ASP-E datasheet, VN5T006ASP-E pinout, VN5T006ASP-E application, or VN5T006ASP-E equivalent, key selection criteria include diagnostic accuracy across wide load currents (0.6–20 A), latch-off behavior under overload/thermal fault, FR_Stby reset timing (2–24 µs), and reverse-battery protection with self-switching PowerMOS.

Technical Context

The device implements VIPower® M0-7 technology to integrate power switching, analog current sensing, and comprehensive diagnostics in a single chip. Its architecture combines a low-R_ON vertical PowerMOS with precision current mirror sensing, enabling real-time load monitoring without external shunts.

Protection logic includes independent detection of off-state open-load (V_OUT > 4 V), short-to-V_CC (delay ≤1800 µs), and thermal shutdown at 150–200 °C with 7 °C hysteresis. Fault conditions are latched and require active low pulse on FR_Stby (t_reset = 2–24 µs) for recovery.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
VCC range	8 V to 36 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (6.5 V not supported) and load-dump transients up to 58 V.
R_ON	6 mΩ typ @ 25°C - enables <25 mV output drop at 1 A, minimizing power loss and heat generation in high-current paths.
I_LIM	115 A typ - limits peak fault current to protect downstream wiring and connectors during short-to-ground events.
Current sense ratio K₀	3930–11250 A/A @ 0.6 A - delivers scalable analog I_SENSE for MCU ADC sampling across 0.6–20 A load range with ±30% drift over -40°C to 150°C.
t_reset	2–24 µs - defines minimum FR_Stby low-pulse width required to clear latch-off after overload or thermal shutdown.
ESD rating	4000 V HBM on IN/CS/FR_Stby - ensures robustness against handling and board-level ESD in vehicle assembly environments.
Thermal R_thj-case	0.8 °C/W max - enables 115 A current limit with <120°C junction rise above case when mounted on ≥200 mm² copper pad.

Pinout & Package

Package: PowerSO-10 (exposed die-pad, surface-mount, thermally enhanced).

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VCC	Battery supply input	Accepts 8–36 V DC; internal clamp protects against 58 V transients; reverse-battery tolerant down to -32 V.
OUT	High-side power output	Drives load between OUT and GND; withstands inductive flyback up to V_CC − 70 V during turn-off.
GND	Power and signal reference	Common return for load, sense, and logic; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into CS.
IN	CMOS-compatible enable input	3 V logic compatible; 0.9 V/2.1 V thresholds with 0.25 V hysteresis; drives internal gate driver directly.
CS	Analog current sense output	Sinks current proportional to load current (K₀–K₆); requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 3.9 kΩ) to generate voltage for ADC.
FR_Stby	Fault reset & standby control	Low pulse resets latch-off faults; sustained low disables all functions and forces standby mode (I_S = 2 µA).

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Proportional analog current sense	Delivers I_SENSE = I_LOAD/K (K = 3930–11250) across 0.6–20 A, enabling precise closed-loop load monitoring without shunt resistor.
Off-state open-load detection	Detects V_OUT > 4 V with 20 µs response (t_{d_vol}) while IN = 0, supporting lamp-out diagnostics in lighting control.
Output short-to-V_CC detection	Identifies stuck-high failure within 180–1800 µs (t_dSTKON) and reports via CS pin, critical for safety-critical actuators.
Self-limiting fast thermal transients	Reduces I_LIM from 115 A to 29 A during thermal cycling (T_j > T_R), preventing destructive thermal runaway during repeated faults.
Reverse battery protection	Activates internal PowerMOS switch at V_CC < -24 V, blocking reverse current without external diode or FET.

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 R_ON (12 mΩ), no analog current sense - uses digital SPI reporting instead.	Requires MCU with SPI interface; lacks continuous analog feedback for fast transient load analysis.	Choose when digital diagnostics and configurable fault responses outweigh need for analog current waveform capture.
MC33883	Lower current limit (5 A), no latch-off - auto-recovers after thermal fault clears.	Not suitable for >10 A inductive loads; insufficient for fuel injector or transmission valve drivers.	Prefer only for low-power body electronics where auto-recovery is acceptable and current sensing is non-critical.

Compared with TPS4H160-Q1 and MC33883, VN5T006ASP-E uniquely balances high-current capability (115 A), analog current sense fidelity (±30% K-ratio drift), and latch-off safety - making it optimal for ASIL-B-compliant power actuation where deterministic fault containment is mandatory.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable VCC transient voltage the VN5T006ASP-E can withstand?

The device supports up to 58 V DC supply voltage per absolute maximum ratings, with internal clamping active against low-energy transients. It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150 V, 2 Ω, 50 ms) and Pulse 3a/b (±100 V, 50 Ω) when used with appropriate external TVS diodes and PCB layout practices.

How does the current sense pin (CS) behave during a thermal shutdown event?

During thermal shutdown, the CS pin outputs a high-current fault signal (I_SENSEH = 9–12 mA) corresponding to V_SENSEH ≈ 8 V with a 3.9 kΩ pull-up, distinct from normal operating range (0–5 V). This allows immediate MCU detection without threshold calibration.

Can the VN5T006ASP-E drive inductive loads without an external freewheeling diode?

No external diode is required: the device integrates active V_CC clamp and demagnetization energy handling (EMAX = 880 mJ at 32 V, 10 mH), limiting V_OUT to V_CC − 70 V during turn-off. However, external RC snubbers may still be needed for EMI suppression in high-frequency PWM applications.

What is the minimum pulse width required on FR_Stby to reset a latched fault condition?

A low-level pulse of at least 2 µs (t_reset min) on FR_Stby is required to clear overload or thermal latch-off. The pulse must fully transition from high to low and back to high; sustained low sets the device into ultra-low-power standby mode (I_S = 2 µA).
