Product details
Overview
VNHD7008AYTR from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified dual-channel automotive H-bridge motor driver integrating two fully protected high-side drivers and gate drivers for external low-side MOSFETs. It delivers 51 A DC output current per channel, features 8 mΩ typical RDS(on) per high-side switch, supports PWM operation up to 20 kHz for external LSDs, and operates with VCC up to 38 V - used in electric power steering (EPS), HVAC blower control, and seat actuation systems.
For engineers reviewing the VNHD7008AYTR datasheet, VNHD7008AYTR pinout, VNHD7008AYTR application, or VNHD7008AYTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its MultiSense analog feedback capability (motor current, chip temperature, battery voltage), dual-channel independent protection architecture, PowerSSO-36 thermal performance, and 3 V CMOS-compatible logic interface compatibility with automotive microcontrollers.
Technical Context
The VNHD7008AYTR implements a dual-channel VIPower® M0-based H-bridge architecture with integrated high-side drivers and external low-side gate drivers. Each channel includes independent current limitation (51 A), active power limitation for fast thermal transients, cross-current and shoot-through protection, and loss-of-ground/VCC detection.
Its MultiSense block provides multiplexed analog monitoring via a single pin: motor current feedback (via internal sense resistor), chip temperature (proportional voltage), and battery voltage (VBATT scaling). Diagnostic flags - short-to-ground, short-to-VCC, open-load in OFF-state, and thermal shutdown - are reported through configurable SEL0/SEL1 address lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 51 A DC per channel - enables direct driving of high-power automotive DC motors without external current amplification. |
| RDS(on) (HS) | 8 mΩ typ per channel at Tj = 25 °C - minimizes conduction loss and thermal stress under full load. |
| VCC Max | 38 V - supports 24 V commercial/12 V passenger vehicle systems with robust transient margin (ISO 7637-2 compliant). |
| PWM Frequency Support | Up to 20 kHz for external LSDs - ensures smooth motor torque control and audible noise suppression. |
| MultiSense Functions | Analog motor current + chip temperature + battery voltage on one pin - reduces MCU ADC channel count and simplifies diagnostics. |
| Protections | Undervoltage shutdown, overvoltage clamp, thermal shutdown (latch-off), cross-current, shoot-through, short-to-battery (via VDS monitoring), ESD (4 kV HBM) - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements. |
| Logic Interface | 3 V CMOS compatible (VIL = 0.9 V, VIH = 2.1 V) - interoperable with modern automotive MCUs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-36 exposed pad - optimized for thermal dissipation in automotive under-hood environments (Rthj-case = 2.4 °C/W per channel, Rthj-amb = 16.6 °C/W on JEDEC JESD51-7 board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUTA / OUTB | High-side source outputs (x2) | Connect directly to motor terminals; each carries full load current and integrates freewheeling diode (Vf = 0.6–0.7 V @ -12 A). |
| GATE_LSA / GATE_LSB | External LSD gate drivers | Drive N-channel MOSFET gates with regulated 12 V output; support 20 kHz PWM switching. |
| INA / INB | H-bridge direction control inputs | CMOS-compatible logic pins defining forward/brake/reverse states per truth table (Table 12); no pull-up required. |
| PWM | Low-side PWM input | Modulates external LSDs only; high-side remains fully on/off - enables half-bridge or full-H-bridge topologies. |
| MultiSense | Analog diagnostic multiplexer output | Single-pin reporting of motor current, VBATT, or Tj based on SEL0/SEL1 state - eliminates need for separate sensing circuitry. |
| VREF_OVL_LSA / VREF_OVL_LSB | VDS threshold setting resistors | Configure short-to-battery detection sensitivity for each external LSD using external resistive dividers. |
| CP / Vbatt / TAB (VCC) | Reverse battery protection interface | Charge pump drives external P-MOSFET; Vbatt connects to P-MOS source, TAB (VCC) to drain - blocks reverse polarity up to -16 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent high-side drivers | Each channel rated for 51 A continuous, 8 mΩ RDS(on), with latch-off thermal shutdown - enables redundant or split-load motor control. |
| MultiSense analog monitoring | Motor current, chip temperature, and battery voltage scaled to 0–5 V range on one pin - reduces BOM cost and PCB area vs discrete sensors. |
| VDS monitoring for external LSDs | Configurable short-to-battery detection per leg using external resistors on VREF_OVL pins - prevents catastrophic failure during LSD failure modes. |
| Reverse battery protection | Integrated charge pump (CP) and driver (Vbatt/TAB) for external P-MOSFET - eliminates need for bulky series diodes or dedicated ICs. |
| Standby mode with <300 µs blanking | Ultra-low quiescent current (<1 µA at 25 °C) and fast wake-up - meets automotive "always-on" module sleep current requirements. |
Applications
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) | HVAC Blower Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional assist torque generation in column-assist or rack-assist EPS modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel H-bridge driver controlling brushed DC motor phase polarity and PWM duty cycle; MultiSense reports real-time motor current for torque estimation. Use Value: Enables precise torque control with built-in current limiting and thermal protection - critical for ASIL-C system integrity and fail-safe response. | Use Scenario: Variable-speed control of centrifugal blower motors in automotive climate control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Full-bridge driver operating in half-bridge mode (one HS + one external LSD per channel); PWM input modulates fan speed up to 20 kHz. Use Value: Eliminates acoustic noise from low-frequency switching while maintaining high efficiency via low RDS(on) and integrated diagnostics. |
| Seat Position Actuators | Front Wiper Motor Control |
Use Scenario: Linear motion control of driver/passenger seat fore-aft, recline, and lumbar adjustment mechanisms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual independent H-bridge channels drive two separate DC motors; standby mode reduces parasitic draw during vehicle sleep. Use Value: Integrated open-load detection in OFF-state confirms mechanical jam or disconnection - prevents unintended activation and improves diagnostic coverage. | Use Scenario: Intermittent or variable-speed operation of front windshield wiper motors in rain-sensing systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side driver + external LSD configuration; MultiSense monitors battery voltage to adjust wiper speed during cranking (low-VBATT compensation). Use Value: Maintains consistent wiping performance across wide battery voltage range (6–16 V) without external regulation or sensing components. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive H-bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BD37027FV | Single-channel, 40 A max, no MultiSense, no VDS monitoring, SOIC-24 package | Limited to lower-power loads; lacks integrated diagnostics and thermal feedback | Only suitable for non-safety-critical, space-constrained applications where full dual-channel redundancy is not required. |
| VN5E160ASPTR-E | Dual-channel high-side driver only (no LSD gate drivers), 60 A peak, no MultiSense analog output | Requires external LSD drivers and separate current/voltage sensing; higher system-level BOM count | Preferred when design already uses discrete LSD drivers and needs higher peak current capability than VNHD7008AYTR's 51 A continuous rating. |
Compared with BD37027FV and VN5E160ASPTR-E, the VNHD7008AYTR uniquely integrates both high-side and low-side gate drive, analog MultiSense feedback, and VDS monitoring in a single PowerSSO-36 package - reducing component count, improving diagnostic coverage, and enabling ASIL-B-compliant motor control without external signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for VNHD7008AYTR?
The VNHD7008AYTR supports 51 A DC continuous output current per high-side channel under specified thermal conditions (Tj ≤ 150 °C, Rthj-amb = 16.6 °C/W). This rating assumes proper PCB copper area (≥2 cm² heatsink) and airflow per JEDEC JESD51-7. Peak current capability exceeds 70 A for short durations with active power limitation enabled.
How does the MultiSense pin provide multiple analog signals on a single pin?
The MultiSense pin outputs three distinct analog voltages - motor current, chip temperature, and battery voltage - selected by the logic states of SEL0 and SEL1 pins per Table 12. An internal multiplexer routes the appropriate signal to the pin; each has calibrated scaling (e.g., 10 mV/°C for temperature, 0.1 V/VBATT for supply monitoring), enabling MCU ADC reuse.
Does VNHD7008AYTR support half-bridge operation with external low-side MOSFETs?
Yes. The device is explicitly designed for half-bridge configurations: INA/INB control high-side switches, while PWM modulates GATE_LSA/GATE_LSB outputs to drive external N-channel LSDs. Truth tables (Tables 12–14) define all valid states, including brake-by-conduction and freewheeling modes, with shoot-through prevention enforced internally.
What external components are required for reverse battery protection?
A single external P-channel MOSFET is required: its source connects to Vbatt, drain to TAB (VCC), and gate to CP. A 10 kΩ pull-down resistor on CP ensures safe turn-off during startup. No additional charge pump capacitors or level shifters are needed - the internal CP generates ~12 V above Vbatt to fully enhance the P-MOSFET gate.
