Product details

Overview

VN7007AHTR from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel automotive-grade smart high-side driver with analog current-sense feedback, designed for 12 V grounded loads. It features 7 mΩ typical on-state resistance, 100 A current limitation, 4–28 V operating supply range, and AEC-Q100 qualification-enabling robust control of glow plugs, heating systems, and DC motors in harsh vehicle environments.

For engineers reviewing the VN7007AHTR datasheet, VN7007AHTR pinout, VN7007AHTR application, or VN7007AHTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its Octapak package thermal performance, CS pin analog current proportionality (KOL1 = 1000 µA/A), SEn-controlled OFF-state diagnosis disable, and integrated protections against reverse battery, overvoltage (40 V transient), and thermal shutdown (150 °C).

Technical Context

The VN7007AHTR implements VIPower® technology to integrate power MOSFET, protection logic, and diagnostic circuitry in one die. Its current-sense architecture delivers a proportional output current (ISENSE) referenced to GND, with programmable enable via SEn and configurable open-load detection during OFF-state.

Protection functions operate autonomously: undervoltage shutdown triggers at 4 V with 0.3 V hysteresis; overload management uses active power limitation rather than simple current cutoff; thermal shutdown activates at 150 °C with 7 K hysteresis; and reverse-battery tolerance extends to −16 V with 7 mΩ reverse R_DS(on).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Operating Voltage Range	4–28 V DC - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4 V) and load-dump (28 V)
On-State Resistance (R_ON)	7 mΩ typ. @ 6 A, 25 °C - enables <100 mW conduction loss at 10 A, reducing heatsink requirements
Current Limit Threshold (I_LIMH)	100 A typ. - sustains short-circuit events without latch-off, enabling controlled power limitation
Standby Current (I_STBY)	0.5 µA max. @ 25 °C - meets ultra-low-power module sleep-mode requirements
Current Sense Gain (K_OL1)	1000 µA/A - provides linear analog feedback for precise closed-loop load current monitoring
Thermal Shutdown Threshold	150 °C - protects against sustained overload while allowing temporary peak-current operation
Reverse Battery Tolerance	−16 V - survives jump-start polarity reversal without external diode protection

Pinout & Package

The VN7007AHTR is housed in the Octapak surface-mount package-a thermally enhanced, isolated power package with integrated heatsink pad and optimized copper layout for automotive PCBs.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VCC	Battery supply input	Accepts 4–28 V DC; clamped to 40 V during transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5b
OUTPUT	Power output terminal	Single high-side switch node; all OUTPUT pins must be connected together externally
GND	Ground reference	System ground return path; supports loss-of-ground fault detection
INPUT	Digital control input	CMOS-compatible (3 V/5 V); includes 0.2 V hysteresis for noise immunity
CS	Analog current sense output	Delivers ISENSE = K_OL1 × I_OUT; clamped to −12 V / +7 V when disabled
SEn	Sense enable control	Active-high CMOS input; disables CS diagnostics during low-power mode or enables sharing across multiple drivers

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated Analog Current Sense	Provides real-time I_OUT feedback with 1000 µA/A gain and ±5% accuracy over temperature
OFF-State Open-Load Detection	Identifies disconnected loads before activation using CS pin voltage threshold (V_SENSEH)
Self-Limiting Thermal Transients	Prevents destructive thermal runaway during fast load surges via dynamic power limitation
Loss-of-Ground & Loss-of-VCC Detection	Monitors supply integrity independently-critical for fail-safe automotive ECU designs
ESD Protection	4 kV HBM on INPUT, CS, SEn, OUTPUT, and VCC-exceeds AEC-Q100 Class 2 requirements

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
INFINEON BTS7008-1EPA	Higher R_ON (9 mΩ), no analog CS output-uses digital status flag only	Lacks continuous current monitoring; requires external ADC for closed-loop control	Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for analog feedback and diagnostics granularity
NXP MC33883	Lower current limit (60 A), standalone gate driver architecture requiring external MOSFET	Requires external power stage and sense resistor-increases design complexity and footprint	Select when higher voltage rating (60 V) or custom power stage optimization is required

Compared with VN7007AHTR, BTS7008-1EPA trades analog sensing for lower unit cost and simpler interface, while MC33883 offers greater voltage headroom but demands additional components and layout effort-making VN7007AHTR optimal for integrated, diagnostic-rich 12 V automotive loads.

FAQ

What is the maximum transient voltage the VN7007AHTR can withstand?

The VN7007AHTR supports up to 40 V transient supply voltage per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5b (Level IV), clamped internally without external components. This rating applies under defined test conditions (R_L = 4 Ω) and ensures survival during automotive load-dump events without damage or latch-up.

How does the CurrentSense (CS) pin function during OFF-state diagnosis?

When SEn is low, the CS pin is disabled and clamped to −12 V / +7 V. When SEn is high and INPUT is low, the CS pin monitors OFF-state open-load condition via V_SENSEH threshold (typically 2.5 V). A voltage above this indicates an open circuit, enabling pre-activation fault detection without load energization.

Can VN7007AHTR drive inductive loads like solenoids without external flyback protection?

Yes-the device integrates internal demagnetization energy handling up to 170 mJ (at V_CC = 16 V, T_jstart = 150 °C) and features turn-off output voltage clamping (V_DEMAG = V_CC − 41 V typical). This eliminates need for external flyback diodes in most 12 V automotive solenoid applications.

Is VN7007AHTR compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?

Yes-its INPUT and SEn pins accept 3.0 V CMOS logic levels with guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.1 V and VIL ≤ 0.9 V, plus 0.2 V hysteresis. The inputs also feature ±1 mA clamp protection up to 7.5 V, making them robust against MCU I/O overvoltage and noise in automotive environments.
