Product details
Overview
VN800PT13TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic high-side power switch fabricated in VIPower M0-3 technology, designed to drive grounded loads in industrial control systems. It features 135 mΩ RDS(on), 0.7 A continuous output current, 36 V maximum supply voltage, thermal shutdown, and reverse-battery protection. It is used in programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O modules for solenoid and relay driving.
For engineers reviewing the VN800PT13TR datasheet, VN800PT13TR pinout, VN800PT13TR application, or VN800PT13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its active current limitation (0.7–2 A), under/over-voltage shutdown thresholds (4 V / 36 V), status pin diagnostics, and PPAK package thermal performance (Rthj-case = 3 °C/W).
Technical Context
The VN800PT integrates CMOS-compatible input logic with embedded protection circuitry including over-temperature detection (trip at 150–200 °C), current limiting (adjustable via load impedance), and loss-of-ground detection. Its internal VCC clamp handles ISO7637 transients, and the status pin provides real-time fault reporting (open-load, overload, over-temp).
It operates as a single-channel high-side driver with active low-side sensing through GND monitoring and diagnostic feedback via an open-drain status output. The device supports inductive demagnetization energy up to 195 mJ (PPAK, VCC = 13.5 V), enabling robust solenoid control without external flyback components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 135 mΩ max at Tj = 25°C - enables low conduction loss and <1 W dissipation at 0.7 A. |
| IOUT continuous | 0.7 A - rated for sustained operation in industrial I/O modules with ambient up to 100°C. |
| VCC range | 5.5–36 V - supports wide automotive and industrial supply rails, including 24 V DC systems. |
| Current limit | 0.7–2 A - adjustable via external load resistance; protects against short-circuit faults without latch-off. |
| Thermal shutdown | 150–200 °C trip range with 135 °C reset - ensures safe recovery after overload without manual intervention. |
| Status pin | Open-drain, 0.5 V low-level at 1.6 mA - provides direct MCU-readable fault indication (over-temp, over-volt, current limit). |
| Turn-off delay | 40 µs max - ensures precise timing control during de-energization of inductive loads like valves. |
Pinout & Package
The VN800PT13TR is housed in a thermally enhanced PPAK (Power Package) with exposed die pad for low thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 3 °C/W). This surface-mount package supports high-power density PCB layouts and requires dedicated copper pour for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply input | Power rail connection; clamped internally to withstand ISO7637 transients up to 41 V. |
| INPUT | Digital control input | CMOS-compatible (VIL ≤ 1.25 V, VIH ≥ 3.25 V); accepts 3.3 V or 5 V logic directly. |
| GND | Ground reference | Loss-of-ground detection node; device shuts down if disconnected to prevent floating output. |
| OUTPUT | High-side switched output | Drives load between OUTPUT and system ground; supports inductive loads up to 195 mJ demag energy. |
| STATUS | Fault diagnostic output | Open-drain signal indicating over-temp, over-volt, under-volt, or current-limit conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse battery protection | Integrated GND monitoring prevents damage when battery polarity is reversed; no external diode required. |
| Active current limitation | Dynamic foldback limits peak current to 0.7–2 A depending on junction temperature-avoids destructive latch-up. |
| Under-voltage lockout | Shuts down below 4 V typical-prevents erratic switching during brown-out or cold-cranking conditions. |
| Over-voltage shutdown | Disables output above 36 V typical-protects downstream loads from surge-induced failure. |
| Very low standby current | 10 µA max at 24 V-enables always-on monitoring in low-power industrial nodes without battery drain. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Output Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPS1021HTR | Higher RDS(on) (200 mΩ), lower IOUT (0.5 A), same PPAK package and protection set. | Better suited for space-constrained low-power sensor interfaces than high-current valve drivers. | Select when board area is critical and load current remains ≤0.5 A; verify thermal derating at 100°C ambient. |
| TPS27082LDR | Lower voltage rating (20 V max), no reverse-battery protection, but faster switching (td(off) = 10 µs). | Targeted at consumer-grade 5–12 V systems-not suitable for 24 V industrial or automotive use. | Choose only for non-automotive, low-voltage applications where speed outweighs fault robustness. |
Compared with VN800PT13TR, IPS1021HTR trades current capacity for smaller footprint, while TPS27082LDR sacrifices voltage range and protection for speed-neither offers full functional equivalence in industrial 24 V environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum inductive load energy the VN800PT13TR can safely demagnetize?
The VN800PT13TR supports up to 195 mJ of demagnetization energy when mounted on a PCB with adequate copper area (≥6 cm²), measured at VCC = 13.5 V and Tjstart = 150°C. This value is validated per Figure 23 in the datasheet and assumes proper thermal layout with the exposed pad soldered to a thermal plane.
Does the STATUS pin require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes-the STATUS pin is open-drain and must be pulled up externally (typically 4.7 kΩ to VCC) to generate a valid logic-high signal during normal operation. Without pull-up, the pin remains floating during non-fault states, making diagnostic interpretation unreliable.
Can VN800PT13TR drive capacitive loads such as LED strings directly?
No-it is optimized for resistive and inductive loads. Driving large capacitive loads may cause excessive inrush current, triggering current-limit protection or damaging the output stage. For LED applications, use a current-regulated driver stage upstream of the VN800PT13TR.
How does the device respond to loss of ground connection?
When the GND pin disconnects, the internal loss-of-ground detection circuit disables the output within microseconds and asserts the STATUS pin low. This behavior is confirmed in Table 11 (Truth Table) and Section 3.1 of the datasheet, ensuring fail-safe shutdown before output floating occurs.
