Product details

Overview

VN800S13TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic high-side driver IC in VIPower M0-3 technology, designed for ground-referenced resistive/inductive loads in industrial control systems. It features 135 mΩ R_DS(on), 0.7 A continuous output current, 36 V V_CC rating, thermal shutdown, and reverse-battery protection. It serves as a robust power switch in programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O modules compliant with IEC 61131.

For engineers reviewing the VN800S13TR datasheet, VN800S13TR pinout, VN800S13TR application, or VN800S13TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO-8 package details, protection behavior under overload/overvoltage/loss-of-ground, and real-world implementation guidance for industrial load driving.

Technical Context

The VN800S13TR integrates an N-channel vertical power MOSFET with CMOS-compatible input logic, active V_CC clamp for ISO 7637 transient immunity, and status pin reporting of over-temperature, over-voltage, under-voltage, and current-limit events. Its internal current limitation (0.7–2 A) works synergistically with thermal shutdown (trip at 150–200 °C) and automatic restart to sustain repeated fault conditions without latch-up.

Ground-loss detection triggers immediate turn-off when GND disconnects, preventing uncontrolled output floating. The device supports demagnetization energy handling up to 121 mJ (SO-8) and includes input hysteresis (0.5 V) and status leakage <10 µA at 36 V for reliable microcontroller interfacing in noisy industrial environments.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	135 mΩ max at 0.5 A, 25 °C - ensures low conduction loss and minimal self-heating during sustained 0.7 A operation.
I_OUT Continuous	0.7 A - rated output current enabling direct drive of solenoids, relays, and indicator lamps in PLC outputs.
V_CC Range	5.5–36 V - supports wide industrial supply rails including 12 V, 24 V, and 30 V nominal systems.
Under-Voltage Shutdown	4 V typical - prevents erratic switching below safe logic and MOSFET gate-drive thresholds.
Over-Voltage Shutdown	42 V max - clamps operation during load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a.
Thermal Shutdown Trip	150–200 °C junction - protects against sustained overload while allowing temporary peak-current bursts.
Status Pin Output	Open-drain, 0.5 V low at 1.6 mA - provides direct MCU-readable fault diagnostics without external level-shifting.

Pinout & Package

The VN800S13TR is housed in a surface-mount SO-8 package with exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation (R_thj-amb = 78 °C/W on 0.5 cm² copper). Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; all pins are lead-free and RoHS-compliant per ECOPACK®.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (INPUT)	Digital enable input	CMOS-compatible (V_IL ≤ 1.25 V, V_IH ≥ 3.25 V); 1 µA max input current enables direct MCU GPIO connection.
2 (GND)	Power ground reference	Loss-of-ground detection node; device shuts off if disconnected - critical for safety-critical load control.
3 (OUTPUT)	High-side switched output	Drives load between OUTPUT and system ground; handles inductive kickback via integrated clamp diode.
4 (STATUS)	Fault diagnostic output	Open-drain status pin reporting thermal, over-voltage, under-voltage, and current-limit events to MCU.
5–8 (V_CC)	Power supply input	Four parallel V_CC pins reduce IR drop and improve transient immunity; internal clamp protects against ±4000 V ESD (HBM).

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Reverse battery protection	Integrated circuitry blocks destructive reverse-polarity current flow without external diodes - reduces BOM count and PCB area.
Active current limitation	0.7–2 A adjustable limit (via temperature and V_CC) prevents wire fusing and contact welding during short circuits.
Loss-of-ground detection	Automatic output disable upon GND disconnection - eliminates risk of uncontrolled load activation in field-wiring faults.
V_CC transient clamp	Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−150 V/50 Ω) and Pulse 5a (76 V/2 Ω) without external TVS - simplifies EMC design.
Low standby current	≤10 µA at 24 V - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or energy-sensitive industrial nodes.

Applications

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Digital Output Module

Industrial Motor Starter Control

Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC solenoid valves and indicator lamps in modular I/O racks conforming to IEC 61131-2.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust load driver with fast (<40 µs) turn-off and built-in demagnetization clamp for inductive energy dissipation.

Use Value: Prevents contact arcing and extends relay life by limiting voltage overshoot to ≤V_CC − 47 V during coil de-energization.

Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Load Switch

Factory Automation Safety Interlock

Use Scenario: Sequencing power to DUT peripherals (e.g., sensors, actuators) in benchtop test systems requiring precise fault logging.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Diagnosable high-side switch feeding isolated 12–36 V subsystems with status feedback to host controller.

Use Value: Enables real-time root-cause analysis of open-load, short-circuit, or over-temperature events without adding external ADC or comparator circuitry.

Use Scenario: Enabling emergency stop (E-stop) circuits and light curtain interlocks where fail-safe shutdown must occur on wiring fault.

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STVN800PT13TR	PPAK package (R_thj-amb = 45 °C/W), higher 195 mJ demagnetization energy, same electrical specs.	Better thermal performance for high-duty-cycle or ambient >85 °C environments; requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile.	Select when board space allows PPAK and thermal margin is critical; not drop-in compatible with SO-8 layout.
Infineon BTS716G	Lower R_DS(on) (100 mΩ), 2.5 A current limit, no reverse-battery protection, different status logic (active-high).	Lacks integrated reverse-battery protection and loss-of-ground detection - requires external components for full fault coverage.	Choose for higher current or lower conduction loss where external protection is acceptable and status interface matches MCU logic levels.

Compared with VN800S13TR, the VN800PT13TR offers superior thermal capability in a larger package, while the BTS716G trades integrated safety features for higher current and lower on-resistance - making the VN800S13TR optimal for compact, safety-conscious industrial I/O where ground integrity and polarity reversal are field risks.

FAQ

What is the maximum inductive load the VN800S13TR can safely switch?

The VN800S13TR supports inductive loads up to 77.5 mH at 13.5 V with 1.5 A peak current (EMAX = 121 mJ), validated per Figure 22. For higher inductance, derate based on ambient temperature and PCB copper area; use external flyback diodes only if demagnetization energy exceeds this limit.

Does the STATUS pin require a pull-up resistor?

Yes - the STATUS pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up (typically 4.7 kΩ to V_CC) to generate a valid logic-high signal during normal operation. Without it, the pin remains floating during non-fault states, risking MCU misinterpretation of diagnostic status.

How does the VN800S13TR handle reverse battery connection?

The device incorporates internal reverse-battery protection that blocks current flow when V_CC is negative relative to GND, preventing damage without external diodes. This is implemented via substrate isolation and dedicated protection circuitry in the VIPower M0-3 process, confirmed in Section 3.1 of the datasheet.

Can multiple VN800S13TR devices share a common ground protection network?

Yes - ST recommends sharing a single RGND resistor or DGND diode across multiple VN800S13TR units (Section 3.1). However, shared RGND introduces input threshold shift proportional to total ON-state current; DGND avoids this but requires a 1 kΩ parallel resistor for inductive loads per Figure 21.
