Product details
Overview
VN771KPTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel smart power solid-state relay in SO-28 package, integrating two VIPower™ M0-3 high-side switches and two OMNIFET II low-side switches for complete H-bridge motor control. It delivers 9 A typical current limitation per channel, 95 mΩ on-resistance (per bridge side), 36 V max supply voltage, and real-time open-load/over-temperature diagnostics via open-drain status flag - deployed in automotive seat/mirror actuators and industrial DC motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the VN771KPTR-E datasheet, VN771KPTR-E pinout, VN771KPTR-E application, or VN771KPTR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include linear current limiting behavior, dual high-side + dual low-side topology, integrated undervoltage/overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown with 150–200 °C trip range, and SO-28 thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 20 °C/W).
Technical Context
The device implements a monolithic chipset architecture: two independent high-side switches with built-in thermal shutdown and linear current limiters, plus two fully protected low-side OMNIFET II MOSFETs featuring overvoltage clamping and auto-recovery fault handling. Each channel supports diagnostic feedback through shared status pin with open-drain output.
Control logic follows a truth table defining four distinct switch states (H-bridge forward/reverse/brake/coast), with input hysteresis (0.5 V) and clamp protection on all pins. Protection mechanisms include undervoltage lockout (4 V typ), overvoltage shutdown (36 V), and thermal intervention detection via input pin voltage monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Max | 36 V - Absolute maximum operating supply voltage; enables compatibility with 24 V automotive systems. |
| RDS(on) | 95 mΩ - Total on-resistance of one H-bridge side at Tj = 25 °C; determines conduction loss and thermal rise under 9 A load. |
| IOUT Limit | 9 A typ - Linear current limitation threshold per channel; prevents destructive short-circuit currents without latch-off. |
| TTSD | 150–200 °C - Thermal shutdown activation range; provides graded protection with 15 °C hysteresis for safe recovery. |
| VOL Threshold | 1.5–3.5 V - Open-load off-state detection voltage window; enables reliable disconnection sensing without external comparators. |
| td(on/off) | 30 µs typ - Turn-on/turn-off delay time at VCC = 13 V with 6.5 Ω load; supports PWM frequencies up to ~15 kHz. |
| VCLAMP | 40–55 V - Drain-source clamping voltage during inductive turn-off; suppresses voltage spikes from 6 mH motor windings. |
Pinout & Package
SO-28 surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (standard JEDEC outline); designed for PCB copper area ≥6 cm² to achieve Rthj-amb ≤ 40 °C/W in free-air conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel H-bridge driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN840 | Single-chip 3-phase BLDC driver with integrated gate drivers; no discrete high-side/low-side separation or status pin. | Designed for sensorless BLDC commutation, not brushed DC H-bridge control; lacks open-load diagnostics and linear current limiting. | Select when driving 3-phase motors with trapezoidal commutation; avoid for brushed DC or diagnostic-critical applications. |
| TPS2H160-Q1 | Dual-channel high-side switch only (no low-side integration); 160 mΩ RDS(on), 12 A current limit, SPI-configurable diagnostics. | Requires external low-side FETs and separate logic for H-bridge; offers programmable fault thresholds but doubles component count. | Choose for high-voltage (40 V) automotive loads needing configurable reporting; not suitable for space-constrained quad-switch designs. |
Compared with STSPIN840 and TPS2H160-Q1, the VN771KPTR-E uniquely integrates matched high-side/low-side pairs with unified diagnostics in SO-28, enabling compact brushed DC H-bridge designs with deterministic current limiting and single-pin fault visibility - critical for cost-sensitive, safety-aware motion systems.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal management of VN771KPTR-E?
Use ≥6 cm² of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed thermal pad under the SO-28 package, with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner/ground planes. Maintain minimum 0.5 mm clearance between VCC/GND pins and high-current traces. Avoid routing signal traces under the IC body to preserve thermal conduction path.
How does the linear current limitation behave under varying junction temperatures?
Current limit decreases linearly from 9 A at 25 °C to ~6 A at 125 °C (per Figure 13), ensuring safe operation during sustained overload. This slope is inherent to VIPower™ M0-3 technology and requires no external compensation - enabling predictable thermal foldback without software intervention.
Can the DIAGNOSTIC pin distinguish between open-load and over-temperature faults?
Yes: open-load in on-state triggers immediate low pulse (tDOL(on) ≤ 200 µs); open-load in off-state produces delayed low pulse after 1 ms; over-temperature causes sustained low state until junction cools below reset threshold (135 °C). Pulse width and timing differentiate fault types in firmware.
Is external flyback diode required when driving inductive loads?
No - integrated clamping circuits limit VDS to 45 V typical during inductive turn-off (Table 12), eliminating need for external diodes with 6 mH motors at 36 V supply. However, layout inductance must be minimized; parasitic LPKG >10 nH may cause overshoot beyond clamp rating.
