Product details

Overview

VND600-E from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel high-side driver IC fabricated in VIPower M0-3 technology, designed to control resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. It features 35 mΩ R_DS(on) per channel, 25 A DC short-circuit current limit, proportional current sense (K = 4400 typ.), integrated overvoltage clamp (41–55 V), and thermal shutdown at 150 °C. It is used in automotive body control modules for driving lamps, solenoids, and relays.

For engineers reviewing the VND600-E datasheet, VND600-E pinout, VND600-E application, or VND600-E equivalent, key selection criteria include channel independence, analog current sense ratio stability across temperature (±6% drift), reverse battery protection capability, ISO 7637-2 transient immunity (Pulse 1–5 Class C), and SO-16L thermal performance under 150 °C case temperature.

Technical Context

The VND600-E integrates two independent high-side power switches with CMOS-compatible digital inputs and dedicated analog current sense outputs per channel. Each channel implements active overvoltage clamping via internal Zener-like structure, undervoltage lockout (V_USD = 4 V typ.), and thermal shutdown with 15 °C hysteresis (T_R = 135 °C).

Protection logic is fully autonomous: short-to-ground detection forces output off and asserts sense output high; overtemperature triggers V_SENSEH = 5.5 V; reverse battery condition is mitigated by internal diode structure and external ground network guidance. The device operates from 5.5 V to 36 V supply and sustains −0.3 V reverse V_CC.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	35 mΩ max @ I_OUT = 5 A, T_j = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in 12 V automotive systems up to ~25 A continuous per channel
I_LIM	25 A DC short-circuit current limit - self-limits fault current without external fusing in sustained overload
Current Sense Ratio K	4400 typ. (I_OUT/I_SENSE) - delivers precise 1 mA sense current per 4.4 A load current, enabling accurate microcontroller monitoring
V_CLAMP	41–55 V @ I_CC = 20 mA - clamps transients above battery voltage to protect downstream circuitry per ISO 7637 Pulse 2/5
T_TSD	150 °C thermal shutdown threshold - prevents silicon damage during prolonged overloads or poor heatsinking
V_USD	4 V typical undervoltage shutdown - disables outputs below valid logic supply, preventing erratic switching during cranking
ISO 7637-2 Immunity	Class C for Pulses 1–5 - survives automotive load dump, jump-start, and alternator ripple without latch-up or failure

Pinout & Package

The VND600-E is housed in a 16-lead SOIC package (SO-16L) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation on FR-4 PCBs with ≥0.5 cm² copper area.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 9	INPUT 1 / INPUT 2	CMOS-compatible digital control inputs; VIH = 3.25 V, VIL = 1.25 V, hysteresis = 0.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without level-shifting
2, 10	CURRENT SENSE 1 / CURRENT SENSE 2	Analog current-proportional outputs; K = 4400 typ.; V_SENSE ≤ 4 V - feeds ADC or comparator for real-time load diagnostics
3, 11	OUTPUT 1 / OUTPUT 2	High-side power switch drains; rated for 25 A DC, 41 V V_CC max - directly drives grounded loads (lamps, valves, motors)
4, 12	N.C.	No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling
5, 13	GND	Power ground reference; supports reverse ground current up to −200 mA - critical for reverse-battery protection network design
6, 14	VCC	Main supply input; 5.5–36 V operation, −0.3 V reverse rating, internal clamp to 41–55 V - accepts wide automotive battery range including cold-crank dips
7, 15	N.C.	No internal connection - same handling as pins 4 and 12
8, 16	VCC	Second VCC connection; paralleled internally with pin 6/14 - reduces PCB trace resistance and improves supply decoupling

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Dual independent high-side channels	Enables simultaneous control of two separate loads (e.g., left/right headlamp) with full diagnostic isolation
Proportional analog current sense	Provides linear 1 mA per 4.4 A load signal across −40 °C to +150 °C, eliminating need for external shunt amplifiers
Integrated overvoltage clamp	Clamps V_CC spikes to 41–55 V without external TVS, meeting ISO 7637 Pulse 2a/5a requirements for 12 V systems
Loss-of-ground detection	Automatically disables outputs if GND pin disconnects - prevents uncontrolled load activation in wiring fault conditions
Reverse battery protection support	With external RGND resistor or DGND diode, withstands −14 V reverse polarity without damage per application schematic guidance

Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STSPIN250	Single-channel, integrated current regulation (not proportional sense), lower I_LIM (12 A), no V_CC clamp	Targeted at stepper motor gate driving, not automotive load switching	Select only for compact single-load applications where analog diagnostics are unnecessary and external clamping is acceptable
TPS27082L	Single-channel, 85 mΩ R_DS(on), no current sense, no overvoltage clamp, 36 V abs max	Designed for industrial PLC I/O modules, lacks automotive transient immunity and thermal hysteresis	Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where diagnostics and ruggedness are secondary to footprint and price

Compared with STSPIN250 and TPS27082L, the VND600-E uniquely combines dual-channel integration, proportional analog sensing, autonomous overvoltage clamping, and full ISO 7637-2 Class C compliance - making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive body electronics without external protection components.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous load current per channel for VND600-E?

The VND600-E supports 25 A DC short-circuit current limit per channel, but continuous current depends on PCB thermal design. With 6 cm² copper area, it sustains ~8 A continuous at T_c = 100 °C; derating is required above that. Data sheet Figure 18 shows I_LIM vs. T_c, confirming 25 A is a fault-limit threshold, not steady-state rating.

Does VND600-E require external flyback diodes when driving inductive loads?

No external flyback diodes are required. The device integrates an active output voltage clamp (V_demag = V_CC − 41 V typ.) that suppresses inductive kickback during turn-off. This feature is validated in Figure 8 and Table 6, enabling safe operation with solenoids and relays without added components.

How does the current sense output behave during thermal shutdown?

During thermal shutdown (T_j ≥ 150 °C), the current sense output transitions to V_SENSEH = 5.5 V (typ.), distinct from normal operation (0–4 V). This high-voltage flag is specified in Table 5 and Figure 8, allowing microcontrollers to distinguish overtemperature from overcurrent or open-load faults.

Can VND600-E be used in 24 V commercial vehicle systems?

Yes. Its 36 V maximum V_CC rating, 86.5 V ISO 7637 Pulse 5 immunity, and −40 °C to +150 °C operating range meet commercial vehicle requirements. Application guidance in Figure 9 confirms reverse battery protection up to −14 V using external DGND/RGND networks, validated for 24 V architectures.
