Product details

Overview

VN7016AJEPTR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel automotive smart high-side driver in PowerSSO-16 package, featuring MultiSense analog feedback for load current (±5% accuracy), VCC supply voltage, and chip temperature sensing. It delivers 16 mΩ typical on-resistance per channel, 77 A current limitation, and operates across 4–28 V supply range-designed specifically for headlamp control with integrated diagnostics and latch-off fault recovery.

For engineers reviewing the VN7016AJEPTR datasheet, VN7016AJEPTR pinout, VN7016AJEPTR application, or VN7016AJEPTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, multiplexed analog diagnostic capability, configurable thermal latch-off via FaultRST, and compatibility with 3 V/5 V CMOS logic interfaces in safety-critical 12 V automotive systems.

Technical Context

The VN7016AJEPTR integrates two independent VIPower® M0-7 high-side switches with shared MultiSense analog output, enabling time-multiplexed reporting of load current (via precision proportional current mirror), VCC, and TCHIP through a single pin. Its protection architecture includes active power limitation during overload, self-limiting thermal transients, and undervoltage shutdown with 0.3 V hysteresis.

Diagnostic functionality is enabled by SEn, SEL0, and SEL1 pins controlling a 3-state multiplexer; OFF-state open-load detection and short-to-VCC sensing are implemented via dedicated internal comparators. FaultRST provides active-low latching control-holding low enables auto-restart mode, while a pulse unlatches after overtemperature or power-limit faults.

Use Scenario: Adaptive LED headlamp beam shaping with real-time current monitoring and thermal derating.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel high-side switch providing PWM-controlled current to LED arrays while feeding back load current and junction temperature to MCU.

Use Value: Enables dynamic brightness control and predictive thermal shutdown before LED color shift or phosphor degradation occurs.

Use Scenario: High-intensity fog lamp activation with short-circuit robustness during wet-road vibration-induced wiring faults.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Smart high-side driver delivering up to 77 A peak during cold-start, with immediate short-to-ground detection and latch-off.

Use Value: Eliminates need for external fuses and relays, reducing BOM count and improving fault response time to <100 µs.

Engine Bay Solenoids

Auto-Leveling Suspension Valves

Use Scenario: Driving 12 V solenoid valves in high-temperature engine compartments where ambient exceeds 125°C.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side driver with integrated thermal shutdown and VCC monitoring to detect brown-out during cranking.

Use Value: Prevents unintended valve actuation during low-battery conditions and reports supply instability before actuator misfire.

Use Scenario: Precision control of air suspension solenoid valves requiring closed-loop current regulation and open-load detection.

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 BTS7012-1EPP	Single-channel, 12 mΩ R_ON, no multiplexed analog feedback - uses digital SPI for diagnostics	Lacks analog VCC/TCHIP sensing; requires external ADC and SPI host interface	Preferred when system already uses SPI-based diagnostics and needs lower R_ON for higher efficiency
NXP MC33883A	Dual-channel, 20 mΩ R_ON, analog current sense only - no VCC or temperature feedback on same pin	Requires separate pins for supply/temperature monitoring; less integrated than MultiSense	Chosen when cost-sensitive designs accept reduced diagnostic integration and simpler layout

Compared with VN7016AJEPTR, BTS7012-1EPP offers lower conduction loss but demands more MCU resources for diagnostics, while MC33883A reduces analog routing complexity at the expense of unified sensor multiplexing-making VN7016AJEPTR optimal for space-constrained headlamp modules needing compact, high-fidelity analog telemetry.

FAQ

What is the purpose of the FaultRST pin?

The FaultRST pin is an active-low control that manages fault recovery behavior. A short pulse resets a latched fault (e.g., thermal shutdown), while holding it low enables auto-restart mode-allowing automatic re-enabling after fault conditions clear. This eliminates need for external watchdog timers in fail-safe lighting systems.

How does MultiSense distinguish between load current, VCC, and chip temperature?

MultiSense uses internal analog multiplexing controlled by SEL0 and SEL1 pins: logic 00 selects load current (I_SENSE = 0.1 × I_OUT), 01 selects VCC (I_SENSE = 0.1 × V_CC), and 10 selects chip temperature (I_SENSE ∝ T_J). Each mode has defined current ranges and accuracy specs per Table 9 of the datasheet.

Can VN7016AJEPTR drive inductive loads like fuel injectors?

Yes-it supports inductive demagnetization energy up to 88 mJ at VCC = 16 V (per Section 5), with built-in clamp diode emulation and fast turn-off control. However, external freewheeling components may still be needed depending on inductance and peak flyback voltage; refer to application note AN4737 for injector-specific layout guidance.

Is the PowerSSO-16 package RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes-VN7016AJEPTR is manufactured in ST's fully certified eco-friendly facilities and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free matte tin termination and halogen-free molding compound as confirmed in ST's official material declaration (DocID032289).
