Product details
Overview
VND830-E from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel high-side driver IC designed for automotive and industrial load switching applications where one side of the load connects to ground. It delivers 6 A per channel, features 60 mΩ on-state resistance at 25°C, supports 36 V supply voltage, and integrates open-load detection (both ON/OFF states), short-circuit protection, overvoltage/undervoltage shutdown, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, and reverse battery protection - used in body control modules and lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the VND830-E datasheet, VND830-E pinout, VND830-E application, or VND830-E equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel current limiting (6–15 A), status pin diagnostics (open-drain, 0.5 V low-level output), SO-16L thermal performance (Rthj-amb = 48 °C/W with 6 cm² copper), and ISO 7637-2 transient immunity up to Pulse 5a (+86.5 V).
Technical Context
The VND830-E implements two independent VIPower M0-3 high-side switches with integrated current limiting, thermal sensing, and diagnostic feedback via open-drain STATUS pins. Each channel includes dedicated undervoltage (4 V typ.) and overvoltage (36 V) shutdown thresholds, plus turn-off clamp voltage (VCC−48 V) for inductive demagnetization.
Its protection architecture combines active current limitation (ILIM = 9 A typ. at 13 V), junction temperature monitoring (TTSD = 150 °C), and loss-of-ground detection. Diagnostics are synchronized with input logic state and support software-driven fault recovery per ST's recommended strategy in heavy overload conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 5.5 V to 36 V DC - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| RDS(on) | 60 mΩ max @ IOUT = 2 A, Tj = 25°C - enables low conduction loss and minimal self-heating at rated load. |
| IOUT per Channel | 6 A continuous - defined by thermal limits and current-limiting circuitry, not absolute maximum rating alone. |
| Open-Load Detection | ON-state: 50–200 mA threshold; OFF-state: VOL = 1.5–3.5 V - enables reliable fault reporting without external comparators. |
| Status Output | Open-drain, VSTAT(L) ≤ 0.5 V @ ISTAT = 1.6 mA - directly interfaces with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller GPIOs. |
| ISO 7637-2 Immunity | Pulse 5a withstands +86.5 V for 400 ms - meets automotive OEM requirements for alternator load dump protection. |
| Thermal Shutdown | TTSD = 150°C, TR = 135°C hysteresis - ensures safe automatic recovery after transient overload. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-16L (10.5 mm × 10.65 mm × 2.65 mm), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Designed for PCB copper heatsinking (6 cm² recommended for Rthj-amb = 48 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 16 | VCC | Power supply input - multiple pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal spreading; clamped to 41 V absolute max. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - disconnect triggers automatic shutdown (loss-of-ground protection). |
| 9, 10 | INPUT1, INPUT2 | CMOS-compatible digital inputs - VIH = 3.25 V, VIL = 1.25 V, hysteresis = 0.5 V for noise immunity. |
| 11, 12 | OUTPUT1, OUTPUT2 | High-side switched outputs - drive grounded loads; support inductive demagnetization with Vdemag clamp. |
| 13, 14 | STATUS1, STATUS2 | Open-drain diagnostic outputs - report ON/OFF open-load, overtemperature, overvoltage, undervoltage, and short-circuit faults. |
| 15 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating per datasheet recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel open-load detection in ON and OFF states | Enables full-cycle diagnostics without external circuitry - reduces BOM count and improves system reliability. |
| Integrated reverse battery protection | Withstands −VCC down to −0.3 V and supports external DGND/RGND networks - eliminates need for separate series diode or MOSFET. |
| Active current limitation + thermal shutdown + auto-restart | Prevents latch-up during sustained overload - maintains functional safety without manual reset. |
| ISO 7637-2 compliant transient immunity | Passes all five test pulses (Class C) - certified for direct connection to automotive battery rails without additional TVS. |
| Very low standby current | IS = 12 µA max @ VCC = 13 V - meets automotive "always-on" module quiescent power budgets. |
Applications
| Headlamp Control | Front Fog Lamp Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving halogen or LED headlamps in modern vehicle lighting modules with PWM dimming and fault logging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual high-side switch providing isolated, protected power delivery to left/right headlamp circuits with real-time status feedback.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current load switch with integrated overvoltage shutdown (36 V) and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance for alternator load dump survival. Use Value: Sustains operation through 86.5 V transients without external clamping, reducing board space and improving EMC margin. |
| Body Control Module Outputs | Seat Heater Power Stage |
Use Scenario: Managing auxiliary loads such as door locks, window lifts, and interior lighting in centralized body controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel protected driver interfacing with MCU GPIOs via CMOS-compatible inputs and open-drain status reporting. Use Value: Reduces MCU firmware complexity by offloading diagnostics (short-to-VCC, open-load, overtemperature) to hardware with <200 µs detection latency. | Use Scenario: Delivering regulated 6 A heating current to automotive seat heater elements with thermal derating and fault isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power stage with current limiting (9 A typ.), thermal hysteresis (15°C), and automatic restart after overtemperature events. Use Value: Enables safe, self-protecting heater control without external current-sense amplifiers or discrete thermal cutoffs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VND830SPTR-E | Same silicon die, tape-and-reel packaging only - no electrical or thermal difference. | Identical functionality; intended for automated SMT assembly rather than manual prototyping. | Select when volume production requires reel-fed placement; otherwise functionally interchangeable. |
| TPS27082L | Single-channel, 8.5 A max, 36 V, but lacks OFF-state open-load detection and reverse-battery tolerance. | Requires external circuitry for reverse-polarity protection and OFF-state diagnostics - increases design complexity. | Choose only if single-channel operation suffices and diagnostic depth is secondary to cost or footprint reduction. |
Compared with VND830-E, VND830SPTR-E offers identical performance in automated manufacturing, while TPS27082L trades diagnostic completeness and reverse-battery robustness for smaller package size and lower unit cost - making it suitable only for simplified, single-load applications without stringent automotive diagnostics.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel?
The VND830-E supports 6 A continuous output current per channel under specified thermal conditions (Tc ≤ 150°C, 6 cm² PCB copper). This rating reflects the combined limit of internal current limiting (9 A typ. at 13 V) and thermal dissipation (Rthj-amb = 48 °C/W), not just the absolute maximum rating of 15 A.
Does the VND830-E require external components for open-load detection in the OFF state?
Yes - OFF-state open-load detection requires an external pull-up resistor (RPU) between OUTPUT and a positive supply (e.g., +5 V). The resistor value must satisfy two constraints: (1) avoid false detection when load is connected (RPU < (VPU − VOLmax)/IL(off2)), and (2) ensure valid voltage level when load is disconnected (VOUT > VOLmin).
How does the device respond to loss of ground connection?
Upon loss of ground (pin 8 disconnection), the VND830-E automatically disables both channels within microseconds and asserts fault on both STATUS pins. This behavior is hardwired and does not rely on software polling - ensuring fail-safe operation even if MCU is unresponsive or powered down.
Can the VND830-E drive inductive loads like solenoids or relays?
Yes - the device includes active demagnetization clamping (Vdemag = VCC − 48 V) and supports inductive energy dissipation without external flyback diodes. However, external protection (e.g., Dld for load dump) is required if VCC transients exceed 41 V, and layout must minimize parasitic inductance in the VCC/GND loop to prevent oscillation during turn-off.
