Product details
Overview
VND83013TR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel high-side driver IC designed for automotive and industrial load control, featuring 60 mΩ RDS(on) per channel, 6 A continuous output current, 36 V supply voltage rating, and integrated open-load detection in both on- and off-states. It operates in VIPower M0-3 technology and is used to drive grounded resistive, inductive, or capacitive loads in body control modules, lighting systems, and power distribution units.
For engineers reviewing the VND83013TR datasheet, VND83013TR pinout, VND83013TR application, or VND83013TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SO-16L package layout, protection behavior under undervoltage/overvoltage/thermal fault conditions, and real-world diagnostic timing values for system-level integration.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent high-side switches with CMOS-compatible inputs and open-drain status outputs per channel. Each channel integrates active current limiting (6–15 A depending on VCC and case temperature), thermal shutdown at 150–200 °C with 135 °C reset hysteresis, and loss-of-ground detection that forces automatic turn-off if GND is disconnected.
Open-load diagnostics operate without external components: on-state detection triggers below 50–200 mA load current; off-state detection identifies VOUT shorted to VCC when VOUT exceeds 1.5–3.5 V. Status pins provide real-time fault reporting with 20 µs overload delay and 100–200 µs detection latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 60 mΩ per channel at IOUT = 2 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss and <1 W dissipation at 6 A in typical PCB layouts. |
| IOUT (continuous) | 6 A per channel - supports high-current solenoids, lamps, and motors without external heatsinking under defined thermal conditions. |
| VCC range | 5.5–36 V - compatible with 12 V and 24 V automotive battery systems including load dump transients up to 41 V absolute max. |
| Open-load detection | On-state threshold: 50–200 mA; Off-state threshold: 1.5–3.5 V - eliminates need for external sense resistors or comparators in diagnostics. |
| Protection features | Undervoltage shutdown (4 V typ), overvoltage shutdown (36 V), thermal shutdown (150 °C), reverse battery tolerance - ensures robust operation in harsh vehicle environments. |
| Status output | Open-drain, clamp voltage ±0.7–8 V, leakage ≤10 µA - directly interfaces with 3.3 V/5 V MCU GPIO with pull-up, no level-shifting required. |
| Switching speed | Turn-on/off delay: 30 µs typ (RL = 13 Ω); dVOUT/dt controlled - reduces EMI and prevents false triggering during fast transitions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-16L (16-pin small outline, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant ECOPACK®).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VCC | Main power supply input; clamped to protect against ISO7637 transient spikes; connects to all internal channel supplies and status clamp circuits. |
| 2, 10 | GND | Power ground reference; loss-of-ground detection activates if disconnected; must be low-impedance path to avoid false fault reporting. |
| 3, 11 | INPUT1 / INPUT2 | CMOS-compatible digital control inputs; VIH = 3.25 V, VIL = 1.25 V, hysteresis = 0.5 V - immune to noise in automotive harnesses. |
| 4, 12 | OUTPUT1 / OUTPUT2 | High-side switched outputs; rated for 6 A DC, 41 V abs max; include integrated VCC-to-output diode (VF = 0.6 V @ 1.3 A). |
| 5, 13 | STATUS1 / STATUS2 | Open-drain diagnostic outputs; pulled low during overload, overtemperature, undervoltage, overvoltage, or open-load faults - enables single-wire fault reporting per channel. |
| 6, 7, 14, 15 | N.C. | No-connect pins; internally unused; must remain floating or tied to GND per ST recommendation to minimize leakage paths. |
| 8, 16 | VCC (redundant) | Additional VCC pins for improved current sharing and thermal performance; mandatory connection for full power rating and thermal derating compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two independent high-side channels | Enables compact dual-load control (e.g., left/right headlamp, front/rear wiper) without cross-talk or shared failure modes. |
| On- and off-state open-load detection | Eliminates need for external current sensing or voltage dividers - reduces BOM count and PCB area in diagnostic-critical applications. |
| Integrated reverse battery protection | Withstands -0.3 V VCC and -200 mA GND reverse current - avoids external series diode or MOSFET, preserving efficiency and thermal margin. |
| Active VCC clamp + ISO7637 compliance | Meets Pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b per ISO 7637-2 - allows direct connection to unfiltered battery rails in automotive ECUs without external TVS. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 150 °C trip, 135 °C reset (15 °C hysteresis) - prevents thermal cycling and enables safe automatic recovery after transient overload. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial Power Distribution Unit (PDU) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN840 | Single-channel, 10 A rated, integrated current sense analog output - lacks off-state open-load detection and dual-channel integration. | Better suited for motor control with torque feedback; not drop-in for dual-load BCM designs requiring independent STATUS reporting. | Select when precise analog current monitoring is required and board space permits two single-channel devices. |
| TPS27082L | Single-channel, 8 A, 36 V, with adjustable current limit and fast 1 µs fault response - no integrated open-load detection or thermal hysteresis reset. | Optimized for fast-switching industrial SMPS sequencing; requires external circuitry for open-load diagnosis. | Prefer for time-critical power sequencing where diagnostic latency must be <10 µs, and diagnostics are handled externally. |
Compared with STSPIN840 and TPS27082L, the VND83013TR provides unique dual-channel integration with autonomous on/off-state open-load detection and automotive-grade transient protection - reducing system complexity and validation scope for body electronics applications.

FAQ
Is VND83013TR pin-compatible with earlier VND830 variants?
Yes - VND83013TR uses the same SO-16L package and identical pinout as VND830 and VND830SPTR. All electrical specifications, protection thresholds, and timing parameters match Rev 3 of the datasheet dated December 2008. No layout or firmware changes are needed for replacement.
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for thermal performance at 6 A per channel?
For sustained 6 A operation per channel, ST specifies ≥6 cm² of 35 µm-thick copper connected to all VCC pins (pins 1, 8, 9, 16) on a single-sided FR-4 board. This achieves Rthj-amb = 48 °C/W, limiting junction temperature rise to ≤288 °C at 8.3 W dissipation - well within the 150 °C operating limit with proper derating.
Can STATUS pins drive an LED directly without a current-limiting resistor?
No - STATUS pins are open-drain with 0.5 V max low-level output at 1.6 mA sink current. Direct LED connection would exceed sink capability and cause undefined logic levels. A 1–10 kΩ pull-up to 3.3 V/5 V and series resistor (e.g., 1 kΩ) is required for LED indication per ST application note AN4707.
Does VND83013TR support PWM dimming of LED loads?
Yes - with verified 30 µs turn-on/turn-off delay and controlled dVOUT/dt, it supports PWM frequencies up to 10 kHz for LED brightness control. However, thermal limits require average current ≤6 A and duty cycle derating above 50% at ambient >85 °C due to RDS(on) increase with temperature.
