Product details
Overview
VNL5030JTR-E from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-qualified, monolithic low-side driver IC built with VIPower® technology, designed to switch resistive or inductive loads connected to battery voltage. It delivers 25 A DC drain current, features 30 mΩ RDS(on) at 25°C, integrated overvoltage clamp (41 V), thermal shutdown with automatic restart, and open-drain status output for diagnostics. It is used in engine control modules for solenoid actuation and fuel injector drive.
For engineers reviewing the VNL5030JTR-E datasheet, VNL5030JTR-E pinout, VNL5030JTR-E application, or VNL5030JTR-E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed protection behavior (current limiting, thermal cycling, demagnetization), and real-world automotive load-driving use cases - all derived from ST's production-grade datasheet DocID022767 Rev 7.
Technical Context
The VNL5030JTR-E integrates a PowerMOS section with embedded current and power limitation circuitry that dynamically reduces dissipated power during sustained overload, delaying thermal shutdown. Its input stage includes CMOS-compatible logic with 0.13 V hysteresis and precise threshold voltages (VIL = 0.9 V, VIH = 2.1 V) for robust MCU interface.
Protection architecture combines fast-acting short-circuit current limit (IlimH = 25–49 A), temperature-dependent power limiting below shutdown threshold (IlimL = 15 A), and thermal hysteresis (7 °C) between shutdown (TTSD = 150–200 °C) and reset (TR = TRS + 1 to +5 °C). The STATUS pin provides open-drain fault reporting with clamped voltage (5.5–7 V) and leakage <10 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Drain current (DC) | 25 A - continuous load switching capability under automotive ambient conditions with proper PCB copper area |
| RDS(on) | 30 mΩ @ 25°C - enables low conduction loss (<1.88 W at 25 A), reducing heatsink requirements |
| VCLAMP | 41 V - internal overvoltage clamp protects against inductive kickback up to 41 V without external TVS |
| Thermal shutdown | 150–200 °C - self-protecting operation with automatic recovery after fault removal |
| Status output | Open-drain, 0.5 V max @ 1 mA - directly interfaces with 3.3 V/5 V MCU GPIO for real-time fault monitoring |
| Input hysteresis | 0.13 V - prevents noise-induced toggling in electrically noisy automotive environments |
| ESD rating | 5000 V HBM (DRAIN–SUPPLY/INPUT/STATUS) - exceeds AEC-Q100 Class 3B for system-level ESD robustness |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-12 (exposed drain tab, surface-mount, thermally enhanced).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INPUT | CMOS-compatible logic input | Controls switch state; 0.9 V/2.1 V thresholds with 0.13 V hysteresis ensure noise immunity |
| DRAIN | PowerMOS drain terminal | High-current output node; connected internally to exposed TAB for thermal conduction |
| SOURCE | PowerMOS source & ground reference | Common return path for load current and internal control circuitry; not isolated from GND |
| SUPPLY | 5 V logic supply input | Provides bias for control section; internally clamped to 5.5–7 V to tolerate transients |
| STATUS | Open-drain diagnostic output | Asserts low on overtemperature, overcurrent, or undervoltage; requires external pull-up |
| TAB | Exposed drain pad | Electrically tied to DRAIN; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management (Rthj-amb = 61 °C/W) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40 to +150 °C junction), compliant with 2002/95/EC RoHS directive |
| Integrated overvoltage clamp | 41 V clamping voltage eliminates need for external TVS diode in 12 V battery systems |
| Fast demagnetization support | Enables rapid energy dissipation in inductive loads (e.g., fuel injectors) without external freewheeling components |
| Low standby current | 10–25 µA in OFF-state - critical for always-on automotive modules meeting ISO 16750 quiescent current limits |
| EMI robustness | Very low electromagnetic susceptibility confirmed per automotive EMC test plans (ISO 11452 series) |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Fuel Injector Driver |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving high-current solenoids in gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems under wide ambient temperature ranges (−40 to +125 °C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling injector coil energization/de-energization; STATUS pin reports open-load or overtemperature faults to ECU microcontroller. Use Value: Integrated current/power limiting prevents latch-up during coil short-circuit, enabling fail-safe operation without external current-sense amplifiers. |
Use Scenario: Replacing discrete MOSFET + protection IC solutions in diesel common-rail injector drivers requiring fast turn-off and demagnetization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-chip low-side driver with sub-10 µs turn-on/turn-off delays and controlled fall time (9 µs) for precise injection timing. Use Value: 41 V internal clamp absorbs inductive flyback energy, eliminating external snubber components and reducing BOM count by ≥2 parts. |
| Transmission Control Module (TCM) | Body Control Module (BCM) |
|
Use Scenario: Controlling electro-hydraulic actuators in 8-speed automatic transmissions where reliability under vibration and thermal cycling is mission-critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switch with thermal hysteresis (7 °C) and automatic restart ensures uninterrupted operation after transient overloads. Use Value: Power limitation mode sustains 15 A output indefinitely below shutdown threshold, avoiding disruptive resets during gear-shift surges. |
Use Scenario: Managing high-brightness LED headlamp modules and window lift motors in modern BCMs with strict EMC and quiescent current requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side driver with 10 µA standby current and ESD-hardened pins (5 kV HBM) for robust integration into infotainment-adjacent subsystems. Use Value: Very low electromagnetic susceptibility minimizes conducted emissions into CAN/LIN bus lines, easing EMC certification. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250TR | Integrated current regulation (not just limiting); lower max current (2.8 A); no STATUS pin | Targeted at stepper motor phases, not high-current solenoids or injectors | Select when precise current control is needed over high-power switching |
| TPS27082LDR | Higher RDS(on) (65 mΩ), no overvoltage clamp, no thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Designed for industrial PLC I/O modules, not automotive AEC-Q100 environments | Select only for non-automotive 24 V systems where clamp and auto-recovery are unnecessary |
Compared with STSPIN250TR and TPS27082LDR, the VNL5030JTR-E uniquely combines 25 A capability, 41 V clamp, thermal hysteresis, and diagnostic STATUS in a single AEC-Q100-qualified package - making it irreplaceable for safety-critical 12 V automotive load driving where protection autonomy and fault visibility are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for VNL5030JTR-E?
The VNL5030JTR-E has a junction operating temperature range of −40 °C to +150 °C. Thermal shutdown activates at 150–200 °C (TTSD), with automatic restart once junction temperature falls to TR = TRS + 1 to +5 °C (TRS = 135 °C). Sustained operation above 150 °C triggers protection; design must maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C using the PowerSSO-12 thermal model (Rthj-amb = 61 °C/W with 8 cm² copper).
Does VNL5030JTR-E require an external flyback diode for inductive loads?
No external flyback diode is required. The device integrates a source-drain diode (VSD = 0.8 V @ 2.8 A) and supports fast demagnetization via its internal clamp and power-limiting architecture. Figure 15 in the datasheet confirms safe single-pulse demagnetization energy up to 184 mJ (EAS) without external components.
How does the STATUS pin behave during open-load detection?
During open-load (no load connected), the STATUS pin pulls low after a delay of 45–1100 µs (td(oloff)) following INPUT deactivation. This is distinct from overtemperature or overcurrent faults, which also assert STATUS low but with different timing and persistence - enabling firmware to distinguish fault types using edge-triggered interrupts on the STATUS line.
Can VNL5030JTR-E drive loads directly from a 24 V supply?
No. The VNL5030JTR-E is rated for 12 V automotive systems: its VCLAMP is 41 V, and absolute maximum VDS is internally clamped - not rated for continuous 24 V operation. For 24 V applications, ST recommends VNL5030NTR-E (45 V clamp) or VNQ5E160KTR-E (60 V clamp), both in PowerSSO-12 and AEC-Q100 qualified.
