Product details

Overview

VN800PS-E from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade high-side driver IC built on VIPower™ M0-3 technology, designed to switch grounded loads in industrial and automotive control systems. It delivers 0.7 A continuous output current, features 135 mΩ R_DS(on), operates up to 36 V V_CC, and integrates thermal shutdown, overvoltage clamp, reverse battery protection, and CMOS-compatible input logic - enabling robust load control in IEC 61131-compliant programmable controllers.

For engineers reviewing the VN800PS-E datasheet, VN800PS-E pinout, VN800PS-E application, or VN800PS-E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, SO-8 package details, real-world protection behavior, switching timing under 24 V, and validated alternatives for industrial high-side switching designs requiring AEC-compliant reliability and diagnostic feedback via status pin.

Technical Context

The VN800PS-E implements a monolithic high-side power switch with integrated diagnostics: its status pin outputs active-low fault indication during overtemperature (T_j ≥ 150 °C), undervoltage (V_CC < 4 V), or overvoltage (V_CC > 42 V) events, and remains high during normal operation or current limitation. Protection logic includes active current limiting (0.7–2 A range), thermal hysteresis (7–15 °C), and automatic restart after thermal recovery.

It uses a dedicated V_CC-clamp diode to absorb low-energy transients and supports reverse-battery resilience via external GND-line resistor or diode networks. Input hysteresis (0.5 V) ensures noise immunity, while turn-on/turn-off delay times (10 µs / 40 µs typical at 24 V) enable predictable timing in microcontroller-driven control loops.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CC Range	5.5 V to 36 V - supports wide automotive battery voltage range including cold-crank (5.5 V) and load-dump (36 V) conditions
R_DS(on)	135 mΩ typ. at 0.5 A, 25 °C - enables low conduction loss and <1 W dissipation at full rated current

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STVN800PTR-E	Tape-and-reel packaging variant of same die; identical electrical specs and SO-8 footprint	No functional difference; selected for automated SMT assembly	Choose for volume production requiring pick-and-place compatibility
TPS27081AQPWPRQ1	Lower R_DS(on) (80 mΩ), higher I_OUT (1.5 A), but lacks reverse-battery protection and requires external V_CC clamp	Suitable for 12 V-only automotive apps without reverse-polarity risk; no integrated GND-disconnect detection	Select when higher current and lower on-resistance outweigh need for integrated reverse-battery resilience

Compared with VN800PS-E, STVN800PTR-E offers identical performance in tape-and-reel format for manufacturing scalability, while TPS27081AQPWPRQ1 trades integrated protections for higher drive capability - making VN800PS-E optimal for cost-sensitive, safety-critical industrial I/O where diagnostic completeness and reverse-battery hardening are mandatory.

FAQ

What is the maximum inductive load energy the VN800PS-E can safely demagnetize?

The VN800PS-E in SO-8 package supports up to 121 mJ maximum switching energy (EMAX) under specified test conditions: L = 77.5 mH, RL = 0 Ω, V_bat = 13.5 V, T_j,start = 150 °C, I_L = 1.5 A. This value is derived from avalanche energy testing per Figure 7 and Table 5, and applies only when PCB copper area meets thermal requirements (≥2 cm² for 82 °C/W R_thj-amb).

How does the STATUS pin behave during undervoltage lockout?

During undervoltage shutdown (V_CC < 4 V), the STATUS pin goes low and remains low until V_CC rises above the hysteresis threshold (~5.5 V). This behavior is confirmed in Table 11 (Truth Table) and Figure 8, ensuring unambiguous fault reporting without false positives during brown-out conditions.

Can the VN800PS-E drive capacitive loads without external components?

No - the VN800PS-E is not characterized for direct capacitive load switching. Its output stage is optimized for resistive and inductive loads. Driving large capacitive loads may cause excessive peak current, violating absolute maximum ratings (I_OUT surge limit) and triggering current-limit protection. External series resistance or soft-start circuitry is required for such applications.

Is the VN800PS-E compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?

Yes - the input pin accepts CMOS logic levels with V_INL ≤ 1.25 V and V_INH ≥ 3.25 V, making it directly compatible with 3.3 V MCUs. Input hysteresis (0.5 V) ensures reliable switching even with noisy control lines, and input current remains below 10 µA across the full V_CC range, minimizing MCU drive burden.
