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 (R_thj-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 (V_CC−48 V) for inductive demagnetization.

Its protection architecture combines active current limitation (I_LIM = 9 A typ. at 13 V), junction temperature monitoring (T_TSD = 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
V_CC Range	5.5 V to 36 V DC - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump conditions.
R_DS(on)	60 mΩ max @ I_OUT = 2 A, T_j = 25°C - enables low conduction loss and minimal self-heating at rated load.
I_OUT 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, V_STAT(L) ≤ 0.5 V @ I_STAT = 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	T_TSD = 150°C, T_R = 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 R_thj-amb = 48 °C/W).

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 16	V_CC	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 V_demag 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 −V_CC 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	I_S = 12 µA max @ V_CC = 13 V - meets automotive "always-on" module quiescent power budgets.

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 (T_c ≤ 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 (R_thj-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 (R_PU) 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 (R_PU < (V_PU − V_OLmax)/I_L(off2)), and (2) ensure valid voltage level when load is disconnected (V_OUT > V_OLmin).

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 (V_demag = V_CC − 48 V) and supports inductive energy dissipation without external flyback diodes. However, external protection (e.g., D_ld for load dump) is required if V_CC transients exceed 41 V, and layout must minimize parasitic inductance in the V_CC/GND loop to prevent oscillation during turn-off.
