Product details
Overview
VND7040AJTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a double-channel automotive smart high-side driver in PowerSSO-16 package, integrating VIPower® technology for 12 V grounded loads. It delivers 40 mΩ typical on-state resistance per channel, 34 A current limitation, and multiplexed MultiSense analog feedback (load current, VCC, chip temperature) with <0.5 µA standby current. Designed for signal lamp control up to SAE1156/R5W parallel or LED rear combinations.
For engineers reviewing the VND7040AJTR-E datasheet, VND7040AJTR-E pinout, VND7040AJTR-E application, or VND7040AJTR-E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, diagnostic architecture details, protection behavior under short-to-VCC and off-state open-load conditions, and real-world automotive load interface requirements including reverse battery handling with external diode networks.
Technical Context
The device implements dual independent high-side power switches with integrated current-sense mirroring, thermal shutdown with configurable latch-off, and active power limitation during overload. Its MultiSense pin multiplexes three diagnostics-proportional load current (±5% accuracy), supply voltage (VCC), and junction temperature-via SEL0/SEL1 address lines and SEn enable control.
Protection logic includes undervoltage shutdown (4 V trip, 5 V reset), overvoltage clamp (41 V typ), loss-of-ground/VCC detection, and fast thermal transient self-limiting. FaultRST is an active-low pin enabling auto-restart mode or manual unlatching after thermal or current faults.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating voltage range | 4–28 V DC - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4 V) and load-dump (28 V). |
| On-state resistance (per channel) | 40 mΩ typ at 25°C - enables low conduction loss for 2.5 A continuous loads with minimal thermal rise. |
| Current limitation | 34 A typ - limits peak fault current to protect wiring and downstream loads during short-to-ground events. |
| Standby current | 0.5 µA max at 25°C - ensures negligible battery drain in vehicle sleep modes. |
| MultiSense feedback precision | ±5% load current sense accuracy - enables reliable closed-loop current monitoring without external shunt resistors. |
| Thermal shutdown threshold | 150°C junction - triggers latch-off or auto-restart depending on FaultRST state to prevent permanent damage. |
| Transient supply voltage rating | 40 V (ISO 16750-2 Test B clamped) - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external clamping. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-16 - thermally enhanced exposed-pad SOIC variant with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for high-current automotive PCB layouts and JEDEC JESD 51-7 thermal performance (Rthj-amb = 23.5 °C/W on 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Battery supply input | Primary 12 V rail connection; supports 4–28 V operation and clamps transients up to 40 V. |
| OUTPUT0, OUTPUT1 | High-side power outputs | Drive grounded resistive/inductive/capacitive loads; each rated for 34 A peak current limitation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Must be protected against reverse battery via external diode/resistor network per datasheet Figure 30. |
| INPUT0, INPUT1 | CMOS-compatible control inputs | Accept 3 V/5 V logic; include hysteresis (0.2 V) for noise immunity in harsh automotive environments. |
| MultiSense | Multiplexed analog diagnostic output | Delivers proportional current for load current, VCC, or TCHIP; requires external 10 kΩ pull-up for voltage readout. |
| SEn | Sense enable | Active-high CMOS input; disables MultiSense during module low-power mode or enables sharing across multiple devices. |
| SEL0, SEL1 | Multiplexer address lines | Select diagnostic source: 00 = load current, 01 = VCC, 10 = chip temperature, 11 = reserved. |
| FaultRST | Fault reset/unlatch control | Active-low input; holds outputs latched during fault unless pulled low to enable auto-restart behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel high-side switching | Independent control of two 12 V grounded loads with separate INPUT/OUTPUT pairs and shared diagnostics. |
| MultiSense analog feedback | Single-pin multiplexed sensing of load current (±5% accuracy), supply voltage, and junction temperature - eliminates need for discrete sense components. |
| Configurable fault latch-off | FaultRST pin allows system-level choice between persistent latch (safe default) or auto-restart mode for transient fault recovery. |
| Reverse battery protection support | Integrated GND line protection design with external diode (DGND) network - meets ISO 16750-2 requirements without additional ICs. |
| Low quiescent current | 0.5 µA standby current enables compliance with automotive ECU sleep-mode current budgets (<10 µA total). |
Applications
| Automotive Signal Lamps | LED Rear Combination Modules |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state high-side switch delivering soft-start behavior and inductive kickback energy management. Use Value: Enables predictive maintenance through continuous load current profiling and detects winding shorts before catastrophic failure. |
Use Scenario: Centralized power distribution unit managing 12 V loads across chassis domains (lighting, HVAC, infotainment).

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 diagnostics only. | Lacks multiplexed analog feedback; requires external ADC for current/voltage monitoring. | Choose when system already includes SPI-based diagnostics infrastructure and lower channel count suffices. |
| VND7E025AJTR-E | Single-channel, 25 mΩ RON, identical MultiSense architecture and PowerSSO-16 footprint. | Same diagnostic capability but half the channel density; requires two units for dual-load coverage. | Prefer when higher current drive (25 A min) and lower RON are critical, and board space allows duplication. |
Compared with TPS4H160-Q1, VND7040AJTR-E offers superior analog diagnostic fidelity and dual-channel integration; versus VND7E025AJTR-E, it trades lower on-resistance for higher channel count and slightly relaxed current rating - optimizing for space-constrained multi-lamp modules.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the FaultRST pin?
The FaultRST pin is an active-low control input that determines fault recovery behavior. When held high, thermal or overcurrent faults trigger a latched shutdown until a system-level reset occurs. When pulled low, the device enters auto-restart mode, attempting periodic re-enabling after fault clearance - critical for non-safety-critical loads like interior lighting where temporary interruption is acceptable.
How does MultiSense enable off-state open-load detection?
With SEn high and SEL0/SEL1 set to 11 (reserved), the MultiSense pin outputs a voltage proportional to the off-state output leakage current. If the connected load is disconnected, the resulting current drop falls below the 0.01 µA threshold, triggering a diagnostic flag. This occurs without energizing the load, preserving battery life during vehicle sleep states.
Can VND7040AJTR-E drive inductive loads like solenoids?
Yes - the device integrates active demagnetization energy management and supports maximum switching energy of 36 mJ per pulse (TDEMAG = 0.4 ms). Its built-in clamp diode (VF = 0.7 V at -2.5 A, 150°C) safely dissipates inductive kickback, eliminating need for external flyback diodes in most 12 V solenoid applications up to 50 W.
What PCB layout considerations apply to PowerSSO-16?
The PowerSSO-16 package requires a minimum 2 cm² copper pour connected to the exposed pad for thermal performance. On 4-layer boards, use 2s2p JEDEC JESD 51-7 construction to achieve Rthj-amb = 23.5 °C/W. Avoid routing signal traces under the thermal pad; instead, use thermal vias (≥8×0.3 mm) to inner ground planes to maximize heat dissipation to internal layers.
