Product details

Overview

VND14NV04-E from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic VIPower™ M0-based protected Power MOSFET designed for high-reliability DC–50 kHz switching in automotive and industrial loads. It delivers 35 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_IN = 5 V, 12 A current limiting, 40 V integrated overvoltage clamp, and thermal shutdown at 150 °C. It replaces standard MOSFETs in solenoid, relay, and motor control circuits where fault resilience is critical.

For engineers reviewing the VND14NV04-E datasheet, VND14NV04-E pinout, VND14NV04-E application, or VND14NV04-E equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, protection behavior under short-circuit and inductive load conditions, diagnostic feedback via input pin voltage drop, and package-specific thermal derating data for TO-251 (IPAK) mounting.

Technical Context

The VND14NV04-E integrates a power DMOS transistor with analog gate drive, linear current limiter, thermal shutdown sensor, and bidirectional ESD-protected input stage. Its internal clamp activates at 36 V (V_CLTH) and clamps to 45 V (typ.) during inductive flyback, enabling robust unclamped inductive switching up to 93 mJ per pulse.

Fault detection operates through input pin sink current (I_gf = 10–20 mA) when junction temperature exceeds 150–200 °C, while normal operation draws only 100–150 µA (I_ISS) from the input. The device supports TTL-compatible driving and direct analog gate access for precision current regulation.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	35 mΩ max at V_IN = 5 V, I_D = 7 A, T_j = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in 12 V automotive loads up to ~10 A continuous.
I_lim	12 A min at V_IN = 5 V, V_DS = 13 V - provides repeatable current limiting independent of input voltage, preventing runaway during overload.
V_CLAMP	40–55 V at I_D = 7 A - clamps inductive kickback to protect downstream circuitry without external TVS diodes.
T_jsh	150–200 °C - thermal shutdown threshold ensures safe operation under sustained overload or poor heatsinking.
I_ISS	100–150 µA at V_IN = 5 V - ultra-low quiescent input current minimizes control-side power burden.
E_AS	400 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - sustains unclamped inductive switching events (e.g., relay coil de-energization) without failure.
td_lim	45 µs step-response current limit activation - fast reaction to short circuits prevents destructive energy buildup before thermal shutdown.

Pinout & Package

Package: TO-251 (IPAK), surface-mount, 3-pin single-ended power package with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (Source)	Power return path and reference for internal protection sensing	Connected to system ground; used as reference for current limit and thermal sensing circuits.
Pin 2 (Drain)	Main power output terminal	High-current output node tied to load; electrically connected to exposed metal pad for thermal dissipation.
Pin 3 (Input)	Control and diagnostic interface	Accepts TTL/analog gate drive (0.5–2.5 V threshold); sinks fault current (10–20 mA) during thermal shutdown.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated linear current limiter	Clamps drain current to 12–24 A range regardless of input voltage, eliminating need for external current-sense resistors and amplifiers.
Thermal shutdown with auto-restart	Shuts down at 150–200 °C junction temperature and resumes operation after ~15 °C cooldown - enables self-recovery after transient overloads.
Diagnostic feedback via input pin	Sinks 10–20 mA fault current during overtemperature, allowing microcontroller GPIO to detect failure without additional sensors or circuitry.
ESD-protected input and output	Withstands 4 kV HBM (input) and 16.5 kV CDM (output) - eliminates need for external ESD protection in harsh automotive environments.
Direct analog gate access	Enables precise linear-mode operation for soft-start, current ramping, or PWM dimming control - not possible with standard protected switches.

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STSPIN250	Integrated H-bridge driver with 1.6 A per channel, no built-in current limiting above 2.5 A; requires external sense resistor for overcurrent protection.	Designed for bidirectional stepper/motor control, not single-channel high-side switching.	Select when bidirectional motor control is required; avoid for solenoid/relay replacement due to lower current rating and missing clamp.
IPS1030H	Higher R_DS(on) (100 mΩ), lower I_lim (3 A), same TO-251 package; includes reverse polarity protection but no integrated clamp.	Targeted at low-power industrial I/O modules; lacks 40 V clamp needed for inductive load suppression.	Choose for cost-sensitive 3 A applications with reverse-battery immunity; not suitable for 12 V solenoids requiring >10 A peak current.

Compared with VND14NV04-E, STSPIN250 offers motor control integration but sacrifices single-channel current capacity and clamp protection, while IPS1030H trades off current capability and clamp functionality for reverse-polarity hardening-neither matches the VND14NV04-E's combination of 12 A linear limiting, 40 V clamp, and diagnostic feedback in TO-251.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VND14NV04-E at 85 °C ambient?

The maximum continuous drain current depends on PCB layout and heatsinking. With a standard FR4 board (0.5 cm² copper connected to drain pins), R_thj-amb is 102 °C/W. At T_j = 150 °C and T_a = 85 °C, allowable power dissipation is 0.64 W, supporting ~4.3 A continuous with 35 mΩ R_DS(on). Derating curves in Figure 10 confirm this limit.

Can VND14NV04-E be used in parallel configurations?

No-VND14NV04-E is not characterized or recommended for paralleling. Its current-limiting behavior is not matched across units, and thermal coupling between devices causes uneven current sharing. STMicroelectronics explicitly advises against paralleling in Section 3 of Doc ID 7393 Rev 9.

How does the diagnostic feedback signal behave during overtemperature fault?

When T_j ≥ T_jsh, the device sinks 10–20 mA (I_gf) through the Input pin. If driven by a low-impedance source (e.g., MCU GPIO with <1 kΩ series resistance), the input voltage drops below 0.5 V. If driven by high-impedance logic, the pin collapses to 0 V, providing a clear logic-low fault flag without external components.

Is the VND14NV04-E compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?

Yes-the input threshold voltage (V_INTH) is 0.5–2.5 V, and IISS draw is only 100–150 µA. A 3.3 V GPIO can directly drive the input with a 10 kΩ series resistor (per R_{IN MIN} = 10 Ω requirement), ensuring reliable turn-on while staying within absolute max input current (±20 mA).
