Product details
Overview
VND5N0713TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic OMNIFET II fully autoprotected high-side power switch in DPAK (TO-252) package, designed as a robust replacement for standard N-channel Power MOSFETs in DC–50 kHz switching applications. It features 0.2 Ω RDS(on), 5 A typ current limitation, 70 V drain-source clamp, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, and diagnostic feedback via the input pin - deployed in automotive body control modules for load driving with fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the VND5N0713TR datasheet, VND5N0713TR pinout, VND5N0713TR application, or VND5N0713TR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated protection behavior, confirmed DPAK pin mapping, real-world use cases in harsh environments, and actionable alternative selection guidance based on documented electrical and thermal performance.
Technical Context
The VND5N0713TR integrates a VIPower M0-process N-channel vertical power MOSFET with on-chip linear current limiter, overvoltage clamp (70 V), and junction temperature sensor. Its input pin directly drives the gate but draws only 250–500 µA supply current, enabling TTL-compatible control while supporting analog driving for precise current regulation.
Protection logic operates independently of input voltage: overtemperature shutdown triggers at ≥150 °C and resets at ≤135 °C; short-circuit response includes step-current limiting (15–60 µs activation) and fault signaling via 100 Ω pull-down on the input pin. The integrated source-drain diode supports inductive load freewheeling with 1.6 V forward drop and 150 ns reverse recovery time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 0.2 Ω max at VIN = 10 V, ID = 2.5 A - enables low conduction loss in 12 V automotive loads up to ~5 A continuous. |
| Current limit (ILIMH) | 5 A typ at VIN = 10 V - provides repeatable overcurrent cutoff without external sensing, critical for solenoid/relay drive safety. |
| Drain-source clamp (VCLAMP) | 70 V typ - suppresses inductive kickback during turn-off, eliminating need for external TVS in 24 V systems. |
| Thermal shutdown (Tjsh) | 150 °C min - autonomous chip-level protection against sustained overload or heatsink failure. |
| Fault feedback resistance | 100 Ω pulldown on input pin during fault - allows simple microcontroller GPIO monitoring without additional circuitry. |
| Input supply current (IISS) | 250–500 µA at VIN = 10 V - ensures minimal MCU port loading and compatibility with low-power logic drivers. |
| Turn-on delay (td(on)) | 50–100 ns at Rgen = 10 Ω - supports fast PWM switching up to 50 kHz with predictable timing margins. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package: single-row 3-pin surface-mount outline with exposed drain pad for thermal dissipation; pin 1 = Input, pin 2 = Source, pin 3 = Drain (tab-connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (IN) | Gate control & fault feedback node | Directly connects to internal MOSFET gate; sinks 50 mA fault current to ground via 100 Ω when thermal/short-circuit event occurs. |
| Pin 2 (SOURCE) | Power return reference | Internal connection to MOSFET source terminal; used as common return path for load current and diagnostic sensing. |
| Pin 3 (DRAIN) | Main power output | Internally bonded to exposed metal tab; carries full load current and requires PCB copper pour for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear current limitation | Maintains constant 3.5–7 A drain current under overload, preventing destructive runaway while enabling controlled fault response. |
| Integrated overvoltage clamp | 70 V clamping threshold eliminates need for external snubbers in 24 V inductive load circuits like fuel pumps or valves. |
| Diagnostic feedback via input pin | 100 Ω active-pull-down during fault allows direct GPIO monitoring - no extra comparator or optocoupler required. |
| Direct gate access (analog driving) | Enables variable-duty-cycle or linear-mode operation for soft-start or current-regulated loads without digital PWM constraints. |
| ESD protection (HBM) | 2000 V rating per Human Body Model - ensures robustness during board assembly and handling in industrial environments. |
Applications
| Automotive Door Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side protected switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STVN7012F | Lower RDS(on) (12 mΩ), higher IOUT (12 A), SPI interface instead of analog input pin | Requires MCU with SPI peripheral; lacks direct analog drive capability and simple GPIO fault readout | Choose for higher-current, digitally managed systems where communication bandwidth outweighs simplicity. |
| IPS1025H | Same VIPower M0 process, 0.25 Ω RDS(on), 4.5 A current limit, enhanced ESD (4 kV HBM) | Pin-to-pin compatible but lacks linear current limiter - uses digital current foldback only | Prefer for ESD-critical environments where linear limiting is not required and diagnostics are handled externally. |
Compared with VND5N0713TR, STVN7012F offers higher current capacity and digital configurability at the cost of analog flexibility and GPIO-friendly diagnostics, while IPS1025H trades linear current control for improved ESD robustness and identical footprint - making VND5N0713TR optimal for cost-sensitive, analog-driven 5 A automotive switches requiring immediate fault visibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for VND5N0713TR at 70°C case temperature?
At Tc = 70 °C, the maximum continuous drain current is 3.2 A, derived from the derating curve in Figure 12 of the datasheet: rated 5 A at Tc = 25 °C, with linear reduction to zero at Tc = 125 °C. This value assumes adequate PCB copper pour and no airflow.
Can VND5N0713TR be used in parallel for higher current handling?
No - the device lacks current-sharing features such as matched RDS(on) or thermal coupling. Parallel operation is not recommended due to unequal current distribution caused by parametric spread and thermal runaway risk, as explicitly cautioned in Section 3.2 of the datasheet.
Does the input pin require an external pull-up resistor for normal operation?
Yes - a 10 kΩ pull-up to 12 V or 24 V is required to ensure reliable turn-on, as the input draws 250–500 µA and must reach ≥3 V to exceed the 0.8–3 V VIN(th) threshold. Open-drain MCU outputs or logic gates without sufficient drive strength will not activate the device reliably.
How does the diagnostic feedback signal behave during overtemperature versus short-circuit events?
Both fault types activate identical diagnostic behavior: the input pin is disconnected from the gate and pulled to ground through a 100 Ω internal resistor. Voltage at the pin drops to <0.4 V (measured with 1 mA sink), indistinguishable between causes - system-level software must infer root cause from timing, load history, or external sensors.
