Product details

Overview

VND1NV04-1-E from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic OMNIFET II fully autoprotected Power MOSFET in TO-252 (DPAK) package, designed as a rugged replacement for standard N-channel power MOSFETs in DC–50 kHz switching applications. It features 250 mΩ max R_DS(on), 1.7 A typical current limitation, 40 V drain-source clamp voltage, and integrated thermal shutdown - used in industrial motor control, solenoid drivers, and automotive body electronics.

For engineers reviewing the VND1NV04-1-E datasheet, VND1NV04-1-E pinout, VND1NV04-1-E application, or VND1NV04-1-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, fault feedback behavior, thermal derating curves, diagnostic sink current capability, and real-world protection timing (e.g., 2.0 µs current limit step response).

Technical Context

The VND1NV04-1-E integrates gate driver, linear current limiter, overvoltage clamp, and thermal sensing on a single VIPower® M0-3 die. Its input pin directly controls the internal MOSFET gate but draws only 100–150 µA supply current - enabling direct microcontroller interfacing without external level-shifting or gate drivers.

Fault detection is implemented via analog feedback: during overtemperature (T_j ≥ 170 °C typ), the device sinks 10–20 mA diagnostic current (I_gf) into the input pin; under overcurrent, it enters linear regulation with controlled dI/dt (5 A/µs typ at R_gen = 330 Ω), avoiding destructive avalanche stress.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on) max	250 mΩ @ V_IN = 5 V, I_D = 0.5 A, T_j = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in 12 V load-switching designs.
I_LIM typ	1.7 A @ V_IN = 5 V, V_DS = 13 V - provides repeatable short-circuit current limiting independent of input drive strength.
V_CLAMP	40 V (min) - clamps inductive kickback to safe levels, eliminating need for external TVS in 24 V systems.
T_jsh range	150–200 °C - thermal shutdown activates before silicon damage, with 15 °C hysteresis for automatic recovery.
I_gf fault sink	10–20 mA @ T_j = T_jsh - allows simple resistor-based fault flag generation without additional sense circuitry.
Switching speed	td(on) = 70 ns, tr = 170 ns, td(off) = 350 ns, tf = 200 ns - supports clean 50 kHz PWM operation with minimal overlap loss.
E_AS	55 mJ @ T_j = 25 °C - specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling for unclamped inductive turn-off events.

Pinout & Package

TO-252 (DPAK) package: surface-mount, 3-pin, exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = DRAIN (connected to exposed pad), Pin 3 = SOURCE.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (INPUT)	Gate control & fault feedback node	Accepts 0–5 V logic-level input; sinks 10–20 mA diagnostic current during thermal fault - requires ≤330 Ω series impedance for stable switching.
Pin 2 (DRAIN)	Main power output terminal	Connected internally to exposed copper pad; carries full load current and dissipates heat - must be soldered to ≥50 mm² PCB copper area per datasheet Fig.30.
Pin 3 (SOURCE)	Power return & reference ground	Serves as local ground reference for input threshold and current sense; ties to system GND and enables accurate R_DS(on) measurement.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Linear current limitation	Active regulation at 1.7 A (typ), preventing destructive overcurrent without external shunt or controller intervention.
Integrated overvoltage clamp	40 V clamp threshold with 55 mJ avalanche rating - protects against L·di/dt spikes in relay/solenoid loads.
Thermal shutdown + auto-restart	170 °C shutdown (typ) with 15 °C hysteresis - eliminates manual reset requirement in embedded systems.
Diagnostic feedback via input pin	10–20 mA fault sink current - enables single-wire fault signaling to MCU GPIO without extra components.
Direct gate access (analog driving)	Input pin connects directly to MOSFET gate - supports PWM dimming, linear regulation, and soft-start via variable V_IN.

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; no built-in current clamp or thermal shutdown - requires external protection IC.	Designed for bidirectional stepper/motor control, not single-channel load switching.	Select when bidirectional motion control is required; avoid for simple on/off power switching.
VND5E025AKTR-E	Lower R_DS(on) (25 mΩ), higher I_LIM (14 A), same VIPower M0-3 process - includes SPI diagnostics and enhanced ESD (±8 kV HBM).	Targeted at automotive ASIL-B applications with CAN/FlexRay communication needs.	Choose for safety-critical automotive systems requiring diagnostic reporting; over-spec for basic industrial use.

Compared with STSPIN250, VND1NV04-1-E offers autonomous protection without external supervision; versus VND5E025AKTR-E, it trades diagnostic richness for lower cost and simpler interface - ideal for cost-sensitive, non-safety industrial switches.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VND1NV04-1-E?

The device does not specify a fixed maximum continuous drain current due to thermal dependence. At T_c = 25 °C with adequate PCB copper (50 mm²), it supports up to 3.5 A continuously (per Table 4 I_LIM max). In practice, sustained current is limited by junction temperature - derating begins above 25 °C ambient, reaching zero at ~100 °C case temperature (see Figure 11 derating curve).

Can VND1NV04-1-E be used in high-side configuration with floating ground?

No - VND1NV04-1-E is a high-side switch but requires its SOURCE pin to be connected to system ground (or common reference). It cannot operate with a truly floating ground because the internal protection circuitry, current limiter, and fault feedback all reference the SOURCE pin. For true floating-ground applications, a dedicated isolated gate driver paired with a discrete MOSFET is required.

How does the diagnostic feedback work during thermal shutdown?

When junction temperature exceeds T_jsh (150–200 °C), the device actively sinks 10–20 mA (I_gf) into the INPUT pin. This current flows through the external series resistor (R_IN ≥ 330 Ω) to ground, generating a measurable voltage drop. A microcontroller can monitor this node to detect fault state - no additional components needed beyond the pull-down resistor.

Is VND1NV04-1-E compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?

Yes - the input threshold voltage (V_INTH) ranges from 0.5 V (min) to 2.5 V (typ), making it fully compatible with 3.3 V logic. However, to ensure reliable turn-on and margin against noise, ST recommends driving the INPUT pin with ≥4.5 V. At 3.3 V, R_DS(on) increases to ~500 mΩ (per Table 4), reducing efficiency - acceptable for low-duty-cycle or low-current applications only.
