STMicroelectronics VND7NV0413TR

Overview

VND7NV0413TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic OMNIFET II fully autoprotected high-side power switch IC in TO-252 (DPAK) package, designed for DC to 50 kHz switching of inductive and resistive loads. It features 60 mΩ R_DS(on), 6 A linear current limit, 40 V integrated overvoltage clamp, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, and diagnostic feedback via input pin. It replaces standard Power MOSFETs in automotive body control modules and industrial load driving.

For engineers reviewing the VND7NV0413TR datasheet, VND7NV0413TR pinout, VND7NV0413TR application, or VND7NV0413TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, protection behavior under fault conditions, thermal derating curves, real-world switching performance with inductive loads, and OEM-grade supply chain support for production ramp-up.

Technical Context

The VND7NV0413TR integrates a VIPower M0-3 process Power MOSFET with on-chip linear current limiter, thermal sensor, overvoltage clamp, and ESD protection. Its gate is directly accessible for analog driving, enabling precise current regulation independent of input logic level.

Protection activation is autonomous: overtemperature shutdown triggers at 150–200 °C junction temperature, current limiting engages at 6–12 A depending on thermal state, and clamp conduction begins at 36 V drain-source voltage-enabling robust unclamped inductive switching up to 40 mJ per pulse.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VND7NV0413TR?

The device features a linear current limit of 6 A minimum and 12 A maximum, but continuous current is thermally limited. At T_c = 25 °C with adequate PCB copper area, maximum continuous I_D is 6.5 A; derating applies above 25 °C case temperature per Figure 9 in the datasheet.

Does VND7NV0413TR require an external flyback diode?

No external flyback diode is required for most inductive loads due to its integrated 40–55 V overvoltage clamp. However, for loads exceeding 40 mJ unclamped energy (e.g., >0.7 mH at 9 A), an external diode remains recommended to extend safe operating area.

How does the diagnostic feedback function during thermal shutdown?

When junction temperature exceeds T_jsh (150–200 °C), the device sinks 15 mA through the INPUT pin. If driven by a low-impedance source, this pulls the input voltage low; if driven by high impedance, the pin collapses to ~0 V-both states detectable by MCU GPIO as fault condition.

Can VND7NV0413TR be used with 3.3 V logic control?

Yes-the input threshold voltage is specified from 0.5 V to 2.5 V, and IISS draw is only 100–150 µA at 5 V. A 3.3 V CMOS output can reliably drive the input, though rise/fall times increase slightly due to reduced gate drive strength.
