Product details
Overview
VN9006AJTR from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel automotive smart high-side driver in PowerSSO-16 package, designed for 12 V grounded loads with CMOS-compatible 3 V/5 V control. It delivers 6 mΩ on-state resistance, 82 A current limitation, <0.5 µA standby current, and multiplexed analog current sense feedback - enabling precise load monitoring and fault diagnostics in deep cold-cranking conditions per LV124 Rev. 2013.
For engineers reviewing the VN9006AJTR datasheet, VN9006AJTR pinout, VN9006AJTR application, or VN9006AJTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, configurable latch-off on overtemperature/power limitation, reverse-battery protection via self-turn-on, and integrated diagnostics including OFF-state open-load detection (with external pull-up), short-to-VCC detection, and thermal shutdown indication.
Technical Context
This device implements VIPower M0-9 technology to integrate power MOSFET, gate driver, protection logic, and analog diagnostic circuitry in one die. Its core architecture features a dedicated FaultRST pin for active fault unlatching or auto-restart mode selection, and a multifunction CS pin that time-multiplexes proportional load current (K = 12500 ±7% at 6 A), chip temperature, and supply voltage feedback.
The protection system combines fast-acting power limitation (not just current limiting) with dynamic thermal transient management, undervoltage shutdown (2.7 V threshold), overvoltage clamp (36–45 V), and loss-of-ground/VCC detection. All protections are validated under AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C junction).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 28 V - supports deep cold cranking down to 4 V while maintaining full functionality per LV124. |
| RON | 6 mΩ typ. at 6 A, 25 °C - enables low conduction loss and minimal thermal rise in high-current automotive loads. |
| ILIMH | 82 A typ. at 16 V, −40 °C - provides robust short-circuit current limiting with ±15% tolerance across temperature. |
| ISTBY | 0.5 µA max. at 13 V, 25 °C - ensures ultra-low quiescent draw critical for always-on vehicle modules. |
| TJ Shutdown | 150 °C typ. with 7 °C hysteresis - enables reliable thermal protection with controlled restart behavior. |
| CS Accuracy | K = 12500 ±7% at IOUT = 6 A - delivers high-precision proportional current sensing for closed-loop load control and diagnostics. |
| ESD Rating | 4000 V HBM on OUTPUT0/VCC - exceeds automotive robustness requirements for board-level handling and system integration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-16 (exposed thermal pad connected to VCC). Thermally optimized for high-power automotive applications with RthJB = 6.7 °C/W on 4-layer PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Battery supply input | Primary power rail; connects to exposed thermal tab; supports up to 36 V transient and reverse-battery operation via internal diode path. |
| GND | Ground reference | Must be externally reverse-battery protected; serves as return path for control logic and sense circuitry. |
| INPUT0 | CMOS-compatible enable input | Hysteresis-enabled (0.2 V), compatible with 3 V/5 V logic; controls output switching with propagation delay <120 µs. |
| OUTPUT0 | High-side power output | Drives grounded loads; integrates clamp diode (VF = 0.7 V at −6 A, 150 °C) and reverse-current blocking. |
| CS | Multiplexed analog sense output | Delivers proportional current (ISENSE = IOUT/12500), temperature, or supply voltage based on SEn timing; clamped to −8 V / +7 V. |
| SEn | Sense enable control | Active-high CMOS input; enables CS output and initiates diagnostic settling windows (tDSENSE1H = 60 µs). |
| FaultRST | Fault reset/latch control | Active-low input; unlatches output after fault (tLATCH_RST = 3–20 µs) or forces auto-restart when held low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Extreme low-voltage operation | Functional down to 4 V VCC - meets LV124 Rev. 2013 for engine start-stop and cold-cranking scenarios. |
| Configurable fault response | FaultRST pin selects between latch-off (requires manual reset) or auto-restart mode - adaptable to safety-critical vs. convenience loads. |
| Multiplexed analog diagnostics | Single CS pin delivers load current, chip temperature, and VCC feedback - reduces BOM count and PCB routing complexity. |
| Reverse battery protection | Self-turn-on mechanism blocks reverse current without external components - eliminates need for series diode or MOSFET. |
| OFF-state open-load detection | Validated with external 15 kΩ pull-up; detects open circuit at VOUT > 3 V (typ.) - enables fail-safe status reporting before actuation. |
Applications
| Heating Systems | ADAS Power Distribution |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Controlling PTC heaters in cabin HVAC or battery thermal management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch with real-time current monitoring and thermal foldback to prevent heater element burnout. Use Value: 6 mΩ RON minimizes self-heating during continuous 40 A operation; 150 °C shutdown prevents thermal runaway under blocked airflow. |
Use Scenario: Providing protected 12 V supply to radar modules and camera sensors in ADAS ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Smart power switch with short-to-VCC detection and multiplexed CS feedback for supply health monitoring. Use Value: FaultRST-configurable latch-off avoids uncontrolled sensor resets; 0.5 µA standby current preserves battery during vehicle sleep mode. |
| DC Motor Control | Relay Replacement |
|
Use Scenario: Driving radiator cooling fans or seat adjustment motors in 12 V architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current high-side driver with inductive turn-off voltage clamping (VDEMAG = VCC − 36 V) and dV/dt control. Use Value: (dVOUT/dt)off = 0.55 V/µs (typ.) suppresses EMI; integrated clamp eliminates need for external flyback diode. |
Use Scenario: Replacing electromechanical relays in body control modules for lighting, locks, and pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state replacement with diagnostic feedback (open-load, short-to-ground, thermal status) via CS pin. Use Value: Eliminates relay chatter and contact wear; 82 A current limit handles inrush of incandescent lamps and solenoid actuators. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INFINEON BTS7004-1EPP | Higher RON (12 mΩ), no multiplexed CS output - only basic current sense and fault flags. | Lacks analog temperature/VCC feedback; requires separate ADC for full diagnostics. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-diagnostic applications where 12 mΩ RON is acceptable. |
| NXP MC33883A | Lower current limit (40 A), no reverse-battery self-protection - requires external diode network. | Not qualified to LV124; limited to 5.5 V min. VCC - unsuitable for deep cold cranking. | Choose only for 5 V–16 V systems without reverse-battery exposure or extreme low-voltage operation. |
Compared with BTS7004-1EPP and MC33883A, VN9006AJTR uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 operation, LV124 compliance, multiplexed analog diagnostics, and reverse-battery resilience - making it optimal for next-generation ADAS and electrified chassis systems requiring both robustness and intelligence.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for functional operation?
VN9006AJTR operates down to 4 V VCC across the full −40 °C to +150 °C junction range, meeting LV124 Rev. 2013 requirements for deep cold cranking. Undervoltage shutdown activates at 2.7 V (typ.), with 0.15 V hysteresis, ensuring clean release above 4.5 V.
How does the CS pin deliver multiple diagnostic signals?
The CS pin uses time-division multiplexing controlled by SEn timing: with SEn high, it outputs proportional load current (ISENSE = IOUT/12500); during specific transitions, it reports chip temperature or VCC level. External RC filtering and MCU sampling synchronize to these phases per DS12653 Figure 5.
Can VN9006AJTR drive inductive loads without external components?
Yes - it integrates an internal clamp diode with VDEMAG = VCC − 36 V (typ.) for inductive turn-off energy dissipation. This eliminates the need for external flyback diodes in most 12 V automotive inductive loads like fans and solenoids, provided layout thermal design meets RthJB targets.
What fault conditions trigger latch-off versus auto-restart?
Latch-off occurs on overtemperature (TJ > 150 °C) or sustained power limitation when FaultRST is high; a low pulse on FaultRST unlatches it. Auto-restart is enabled when FaultRST is held low - causing periodic re-attempts after tD_Restart = 50–75 ms, ideal for intermittent faults like temporary shorts.
