Product details
Overview
VN750SMTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a high-side power switch IC designed for automotive and industrial load driving with one side grounded. It features 55 mΩ RDS(on), 6 A continuous output current, 36 V maximum supply voltage, CMOS-compatible input, and integrated open-load detection in both on/off states. It is used in body control modules to drive lamps, solenoids, and relays.
For engineers reviewing the VN750SMTR-E datasheet, VN750SMTR-E pinout, VN750SMTR-E application, or VN750SMTR-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SO-8 package layout, protection behavior under ISO 7637 transients, thermal derating curves, and real-world diagnostic timing (e.g., 200 µs open-load detection delay in on state).
Technical Context
The device implements a VIPower M0-3 monolithic high-side driver with active current limiting, thermal shutdown with automatic restart, and dual-mode open-load detection. Its status pin provides fault reporting via voltage-level signaling, while internal clamps protect against reverse battery (−0.3 V), load dump (up to +100 V per ISO 7637 Pulse 2), and overvoltage (36 V shutdown threshold).
Protection logic integrates undervoltage lockout (4 V typical), overtemperature shutdown (150 °C trip), and ground-loss detection. The input hysteresis (0.5 V) ensures noise immunity, and switching slew rates (dVOUT/dt) are controlled to limit EMI during turn-on/turn-off transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 55 mΩ max at 2 A, 25°C - enables low conduction loss and <1 W dissipation at full load |
| IOUT Continuous | 6 A - supports automotive lighting and actuator loads without external heatsinking |
| VCC Range | 5.5–36 V - covers 12 V and 24 V vehicle battery systems including cold-crank and load-dump conditions |
| Open-Load Detection | 0.9 A threshold (on-state), 2.5 V threshold (off-state) - reliably identifies 5 W/12 V bulb disconnection |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C trip, 135 °C reset - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or short circuit |
| ISO 7637-2 Compliance | Pulse 1–5 Class C performance - survives automotive transients without functional interruption |
| Standby Current | 2 µA typical - minimizes battery drain in always-on vehicle subsystems |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 (Small Outline, 8-pin, surface-mount), with exposed thermal pad connected to VCC pins (pins 4 and 5) for enhanced heat dissipation. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 82 °C/W with 2 cm² copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Digital control input | CMOS-compatible (1.25 V low, 3.25 V high); 0.5 V hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Loss-of-ground detection triggers immediate shutdown; reverse ground current rated −200 mA |
| 3 (STATUS) | Fault reporting output | Open-drain with internal pull-down; 0.5 V low-level output at 1.6 mA confirms active fault |
| 4,5 (VCC) | Supply input & thermal path | Dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal coupling to PCB copper |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | High-side switched output | Drives grounded loads; includes VCC-clamped demagnetization path for inductive loads |
| 7 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating per datasheet Figure 3 |
| 8 (GND) | Secondary ground connection | Reduces ground loop impedance; shares same internal node as pin 2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On/Off state open-load detection | Enables diagnostics without external circuitry-detects disconnected 12 V bulbs (0.9 A threshold) or open circuits during standby |
| Reverse battery protection | Withstands −0.3 V on VCC; external resistor/diode network extends protection to full −14 V automotive reverse-battery events |
| Integrated current limiting & thermal shutdown | Clamps output at ~10 A and cycles off/on automatically-avoids latch-up during short-circuit faults |
| Status pin fault signaling | Provides real-time indication of overtemperature, overvoltage, undervoltage, open-load, and short-to-VCC conditions |
| ISO 7637-2 transient immunity | Passes all five test pulses (Class C) up to ±100 V-eliminates need for external TVS on VCC in most applications |
Applications
| Automotive Lighting Control | Engine Management Actuators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving halogen headlamps, fog lights, and interior dome lamps in modern body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch enabling microcontroller-controlled lamp activation with built-in open-load diagnostics and thermal foldback.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch with reverse polarity and overvoltage protection for harsh 24 V industrial environments. Use Value: Reverse battery tolerance avoids damage during field wiring errors; 36 V VCC rating accommodates 24 V system surges up to 30 V. | Use Scenario: Centralized power distribution units (PDUs) in buses and coaches, switching auxiliary lighting, HVAC fans, and door locks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant high-side driver supporting remote diagnostics via STATUS pin and CAN-linked ECU monitoring.

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 RDS(on) (25 mΩ), lower IOUT (3.5 A), no off-state open-load detection | Targeted at low-power automotive sensors; lacks diagnostic capability for lamp monitoring | Choose when thermal budget is tight but diagnostics are handled externally |
| IPS1021H | Higher IOUT (10 A), wider VCC range (4.5–60 V), no reverse battery protection | Designed for heavy-duty industrial actuators; requires external reverse-polarity diode | Prefer for 24 V/48 V systems where robustness outweighs integrated protection |
Compared with VN750SMTR-E, TPS27081AQPWPRQ1 trades diagnostic completeness for lower conduction loss, while IPS1021H sacrifices reverse-battery immunity for higher voltage and current capability-making VN750SMTR-E optimal for cost-sensitive, diagnostic-rich 12 V automotive lighting.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the dual VCC pins (pins 4 and 5) in the SO-8 package?
Pins 4 and 5 are internally connected to the same VCC node and serve to reduce voltage drop and improve thermal conduction. Their parallel routing lowers effective lead resistance and enhances heat transfer to the PCB copper pour, directly supporting the 4.2 W power dissipation rating at 25°C ambient.
How does off-state open-load detection work, and what external component is required?
Off-state open-load detection requires an external pull-up resistor (RPU) between OUTPUT and a positive supply (e.g., +5 V). When the load is disconnected, leakage current (≤50 µA) pulls OUTPUT above 2.5 V, triggering STATUS assertion. RPU must be sized to avoid false trips when the load is connected-typically 10–47 kΩ depending on load resistance.
Can VN750SMTR-E drive inductive loads such as solenoids or relays without external flyback protection?
Yes-the device integrates an active VCC clamp that safely dissipates inductive energy during turn-off. For a 6 mH solenoid at 13.5 V, it handles up to 90 mJ switching energy. However, external suppression may still be needed for very high-energy loads or to meet strict EMC requirements.
Is VN750SMTR-E compliant with RoHS and automotive AEC-Q100 standards?
VN750SMTR-E is RoHS-compliant per 2002/95/EC directive as stated in its original datasheet. It is not AEC-Q100 qualified; ST positions it for industrial and non-safety-critical automotive applications. For AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, consider ST's newer AEC-qualified VIPower devices like VNQ5E050AK.
