Product details

Overview

VND7N04TR-E from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic VIPower M0 high-side power switch IC with integrated protection, designed for DC–50 kHz inductive load switching in automotive and industrial control systems. It features 42 V clamp voltage, 0.14 Ω R_DS(on) at 10 V_IN, 7 A current limit, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, and diagnostic feedback via the input pin.

For engineers reviewing the VND7N04TR-E datasheet, VND7N04TR-E pinout, VND7N04TR-E application, or VND7N04TR-E equivalent, this device serves as a rugged, self-protected replacement for discrete high-side MOSFETs in 12 V/24 V DC systems requiring fault detection, linear current limiting, and overvoltage clamping without external components.

Technical Context

The VND7N04TR-E integrates a power MOSFET gate driver, linear current limiter, thermal sensor, overvoltage clamp, and diagnostic feedback circuitry on a single die using ST's VIPower M0 process. Its input pin directly controls the internal gate and simultaneously provides status feedback during faults.

Protection is autonomous: overtemperature shutdown triggers at ≥150 °C and resets at ≤135 °C; short-circuit current is limited to 7 A (typ.) regardless of input voltage; and the 42 V drain-source clamp handles inductive kickback without external snubbers.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CLAMP	42 V - Internally clamps inductive transients, eliminating need for external TVS in 12 V/24 V automotive loads.
R_DS(on)	0.14 Ω @ 10 V_IN, 3.5 A - Enables low conduction loss and <1 W dissipation at 3.5 A, reducing heatsink requirements.
I_LIM	7 A - Linear current limit prevents destructive overcurrent during short circuits or motor stall.
T_JSH/T_JRS	150 °C / 135 °C - Fast thermal cutoff and hysteresis prevent oscillation during overload recovery.
Diagnostic Feedback	Input pin sinks 50 mA fault current to ~0 V - Enables simple microcontroller GPIO monitoring without additional circuitry.
ESD Rating	2000 V HBM - Withstands handling and board-level ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3.
f_SW Max	50 kHz - Supports PWM-controlled solenoids, valves, and LED drivers without thermal runaway.

Pinout & Package

Package: TO-252 (DPAK), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad for PCB heat sinking.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Source)	Power return path and substrate reference	Internally tied to chip ground; must be connected to system GND with low-inductance layout.
2 (Drain)	Main power output terminal	Connected to load; electrically isolated from package tab; requires copper pour for thermal management.
3 (Input)	Control and diagnostic bidirectional node	Accepts 0–18 V logic input; sinks 50 mA during fault for open-drain status reporting.
Tab (Drain)	Thermal and electrical connection to Drain	Exposed metal pad soldered to PCB copper area; carries full load current and dissipates >90% of heat.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated overvoltage clamp	42 V clamping eliminates external TVS diodes in 24 V battery systems, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Linear current limitation	7 A limit sustained indefinitely under short-circuit conditions, enabling safe "fail-safe" operation without immediate shutdown.
Thermal shutdown with hysteresis	150 °C trip / 135 °C reset ensures stable recovery after transient overloads without cycling.
Direct gate access + analog drive	Input pin connects directly to internal gate, allowing PWM dimming or analog current control without level-shifting.
Diagnostic feedback via input pin	Fault condition pulls input to ~0 V through 100 Ω internal resistor - detectable by any MCU GPIO with pull-up.

Use Value: Thermal hysteresis (150 °C/135 °C) prevents nuisance tripping during normal thermal cycling of heaters.

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
IPS1025H	Higher R_DS(on) (0.25 Ω), lower I_LIM (5 A), same 42 V clamp	Better suited for space-constrained designs where lower peak current suffices	Select when thermal budget allows higher on-resistance and 5 A limit is acceptable
VND5N07TR-E	Lower voltage rating (41 V), higher R_DS(on) (0.18 Ω), identical package and pinout	Compatible drop-in replacement only if system max V_DS stays below 41 V	Choose for cost-sensitive legacy designs where 41 V clamp margin is sufficient

Compared with IPS1025H and VND5N07TR-E, VND7N04TR-E delivers superior current capability (7 A vs 5 A/7 A) and lowest R_DS(on) in its class, making it optimal for high-power 24 V loads where efficiency and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous load current supported by VND7N04TR-E?

The device supports up to 7 A continuous drain current under thermal-limited conditions (T_C = 25 °C, DPAK on 10 cm² 2 oz Cu). At elevated case temperatures or reduced copper area, derating applies per Figure 3 in the datasheet; actual usable current depends on PCB thermal design and ambient conditions.

Can VND7N04TR-E drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?

No-while its 42 V internal clamp protects against moderate inductive kickback, an external freewheeling diode is still required across the load to handle energy recirculation during turn-off. The clamp supplements but does not replace the diode in standard inductive switching topologies.

How does the diagnostic feedback signal behave during overtemperature fault?

During overtemperature fault, the internal protection disconnects the input from the gate and connects it to ground via a 100 Ω resistor. This pulls the input pin voltage to near 0 V (≤0.5 V at 50 mA sink), providing unambiguous, hardware-level fault indication readable by any microcontroller GPIO.

Is VND7N04TR-E qualified for automotive applications?

VND7N04TR-E is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), meeting automotive reliability standards for non-safety-critical body electronics. It is not certified for safety-critical systems (e.g., airbags, braking) per ISO 26262 ASIL requirements.
