Product details
Overview
VND5E004A-E from STMicroelectronics is a double-channel AEC-Q100 qualified high-side driver IC for 12 V automotive grounded loads, featuring 4 mΩ on-state resistance per channel, analog current sense with ±5% full-scale accuracy (K₀ = 12130 A/A), and integrated diagnostics including off-state open-load, short-to-VCC, and thermal shutdown with auto-restart. It drives resistive/inductive/capacitive loads in body control modules and lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the VND5E004A-E datasheet, VND5E004A-E pinout, VND5E004A-E application, or VND5E004A-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, diagnostic behavior under overload, thermal shutdown timing, and precise current-sense ratio drift vs. load current - all critical for functional safety-compliant power distribution design.
Technical Context
The device implements dual independent VIPower® M0-5 high-side switches with active power limitation to manage inrush and sustained overloads. Each channel integrates a dedicated analog current sense path (CS1/CS2) delivering ISENSE = IOUT/K₀, where K₀ varies from 11420 to 23740 A/A across temperature and current range.
Protection logic includes undervoltage lockout (VUSD = 4.5 V), overvoltage clamp (VCLAMP = 46 V), reverse-battery self-switching, and thermal shutdown at TTSD = 175 °C with hysteresis of 7 °C and auto-restart enabled via DE pin control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max RON (per ch.) | 6 mΩ at 150 °C - ensures <100 mV output drop at 15 A, minimizing thermal stress during sustained load operation |
| Current limit (ILIMH) | 90 A typical - provides robust short-circuit protection while allowing peak inrush for solenoids and motors |
| Supply voltage range | 4.5–28 V - supports cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump (41 V transient) conditions per ISO 7637-2 |
| Standby current (IS) | 2 µA - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in always-on vehicle domains |
| Current sense accuracy | ±5% full-scale error - enables reliable fault classification (open-load vs. short-to-ground) without external calibration |
| Diagnostic enable (DE) | CMOS-compatible active-high input - allows shared external sense resistor across multiple devices to reduce BOM count |
| Thermal shutdown | 175 °C with 7 °C hysteresis and auto-restart - prevents permanent damage while maintaining system availability after fault clearance |
Pinout & Package
Package: MultiPowerSO-30 (30-pin exposed-pad power package with integrated heat slug). Designed for high-current automotive PCBs requiring low thermal resistance (Rthj-case = 0.35 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Battery supply input | Accepts 4.5–28 V DC; clamped to 46 V during transients; powers internal logic and gate drivers |
| GND | Power ground reference | Low-inductance return path for load current and sense circuitry; tied to exposed thermal pad |
| IN1, IN2 | CMOS-compatible control inputs | 3.0 V logic compatible with MCU GPIO; 0.9 V/2.1 V thresholds with 0.25 V hysteresis prevent noise-induced switching |
| OUT1, OUT2 | High-side power outputs | Drive grounded loads; each rated for 90 A short-circuit current with active power limitation |
| CS1, CS2 | Analog current sense outputs | Deliver ISENSE = IOUT/K₀ (K₀ = 12130 typ.); used for real-time load monitoring and fault detection |
| DE | Diagnostic enable control | Active-high signal enabling current sense and diagnostics; pulling low disables CS outputs to share external sense resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for -40 °C to +150 °C junction operation - meets automotive powertrain and chassis requirements |
| Proportional analog current sense | K₀ = 12130 A/A ±5% - enables accurate load current reconstruction without ADC scaling or software compensation |
| Off-state open-load detection | Functional at VCC ≥ 8 V - identifies disconnected loads before activation, preventing false fault alarms |
| Short-to-VCC detection | Operates with VCC as low as 5 V - detects wiring faults where output is shorted to battery rail |
| Inrush current management | Active power limitation during turn-on - limits dI/dt for capacitive loads without external RC snubbers |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | LED Headlamp Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS4H160-Q1 | Single-channel, 160 mΩ RON, no analog current sense - uses digital SPI reporting only | Lower current capability (2.5 A continuous); suited for sensor/low-power actuator control, not motor loads | Select when system requires programmable diagnostics via CAN/SPI and space-constrained layout favors SOIC-8 |
| BTS724G | Quad-channel, 10 mΩ RON, 60 A current limit, but no DE pin or shared sense resistor support | Higher channel count but fixed diagnostics - lacks flexibility for multi-device current sense sharing in large BOMs | Select when consolidating >2 loads per package is prioritized over analog sense precision or thermal auto-restart behavior |
Compared with TPS4H160-Q1 and BTS724G, VND5E004A-E uniquely combines dual-channel 4 mΩ conduction, ±5% analog current sense accuracy, and DE-controlled diagnostic disable - making it optimal for ASIL-B–aligned body electronics requiring traceable load monitoring without added ADC overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum transient voltage VND5E004A-E can withstand?
The device supports up to 41 V transient supply voltage (VCCPK) for durations under 400 ms with RLOAD > 0.5 Ω, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements. Its internal overvoltage clamp activates at 46 V, limiting energy dissipation during load dump events without external TVS diodes.
How does the DE pin affect current sense functionality?
Pulling DE low disables both CS1 and CS2 outputs, allowing external sense resistors to be shared across multiple VND5E004A-E devices - reducing system-level component count and PCB area. When DE is high, each channel delivers proportional ISENSE with K₀ = 12130 A/A ±5% accuracy.
Can VND5E004A-E drive inductive loads like fuel pumps without external flyback diodes?
Yes - the device integrates active demagnetization control and output voltage clamping (VDEMAG = VCC − 32 V) to safely dissipate inductive kickback energy. Tested up to 600 mJ per pulse (L = 0.3 mH, VBAT = 13.5 V), eliminating need for external freewheeling diodes in most automotive applications.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior during sustained overload?
At junction temperature TTSD = 175 °C, the device enters thermal shutdown with auto-restart enabled. It remains off until junction cools to TR = 135 °C (7 °C hysteresis), then resumes normal operation if fault condition is cleared - preventing latch-up while maintaining functional availability in cyclic thermal environments.
