Product details
Overview
VNN1NV04TR-E from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic OMNIFET II fully autoprotected high-side Power MOSFET in SOT-223 package, designed for DC–50 kHz switching in industrial and automotive load control. It features 250 mΩ max RDS(on), 1.7 A typical current limit, 40 V drain-source clamp voltage, integrated thermal shutdown, and diagnostic feedback via input pin - used in motor driver output stages and solenoid drivers.
For engineers reviewing the VNN1NV04TR-E datasheet, VNN1NV04TR-E pinout, VNN1NV04TR-E application, or VNN1NV04TR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include linear current limiting behavior, fault-sink diagnostic capability (Igf = 10–20 mA), junction temperature-dependent overtemperature reset (Tjrs = 135 °C), and compatibility with analog gate driving without external level-shifting.
Technical Context
The VNN1NV04TR-E integrates a VIPower M0-3 process Power MOSFET with on-chip linear current limiter, overvoltage clamp, and thermal sensing circuitry. Its input pin directly controls the internal gate but draws only 100–150 µA supply current (IISS) - enabling direct microcontroller interface without buffering.
Protection activation is autonomous: current limiting engages at ILIM = 1.7 A (typ), overtemperature shutdown triggers between 150–200 °C (Tjsh), and fault condition is signaled by sinking up to 20 mA (Igf) into the input pin - all independent of input voltage or external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 250 mΩ max @ VIN = 5 V, ID = 0.5 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in 12 V industrial loads up to ~1.5 A continuous. |
| ILIM | 1.7 A typ @ VIN = 5 V, VDS = 13 V - provides predictable current limiting during short-circuit or stall conditions without external sense resistor. |
| VCLAMP | 40 V min @ ID = 0.5 A - clamps inductive kickback to safe levels, eliminating need for external flyback diode in many solenoid/motor applications. |
| Tjsh | 150–200 °C range - thermal shutdown activates before silicon damage; auto-restarts when Tj drops to ~135 °C (Tjrs). |
| Igf | 10–20 mA sink @ fault - allows MCU GPIO to detect overtemperature event via voltage drop across series resistor on input line. |
| Qi | 5 nC @ VDD = 12 V, ID = 0.5 A - determines gate drive strength requirement; compatible with standard logic-level drivers. |
| Rthj-amb | 70 °C/W @ 50 mm² Cu on FR4 - defines thermal derating; requires PCB copper area planning for >500 mA continuous operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package (4-pin, single-channel high-side configuration) with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = SOURCE, Pin 3 = DRAIN, Pin 4 = DRAIN (tied internally to Pin 3). Drain pins are electrically common and thermally connected to the exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (INPUT) | Gate control & fault feedback node | Accepts 0–5 V logic input; sinks 10–20 mA diagnostic current during thermal fault; draws only 100–150 µA quiescent current. |
| Pin 2 (SOURCE) | Power return reference | Connected to system ground; serves as current sense reference for internal limiter; must be low-impedance path. |
| Pins 3 & 4 (DRAIN) | High-side power output | Common drain connection; carries full load current; thermally coupled to exposed pad for heatsinking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear current limitation | Clamps ID to 1.7 A (typ) regardless of VIN; avoids destructive runaway during overload while maintaining controlled voltage drop. |
| Integrated overvoltage clamp | Activates at ≥40 V to protect against inductive spikes - eliminates need for external TVS or Zener in 24 V systems. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Shuts down at 150–200 °C; resumes operation after Tj cools to ~135 °C - enables self-recovery in intermittent fault scenarios. |
| Diagnostic feedback via input pin | Sinks up to 20 mA during fault - enables simple resistor-based voltage detection at MCU input without additional ICs. |
| Direct analog gate driving | Accepts 0–5 V input without level-shifting; gate driven internally - simplifies interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and DACs. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Automotive Body Electronics |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side protected switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPS1021H | Higher RDS(on) (400 mΩ), lower ILIM (1.2 A), same SOT-223 package | Optimized for ultra-low quiescent current (2 µA); less suitable for sustained 1.5 A loads | Select when standby power budget is critical and peak current ≤1.2 A. |
| VND5E025AKTR-E | Lower RDS(on) (25 mΩ), higher ILIM (5.5 A), SO-8 package, dual-channel | Requires PCB redesign (SO-8 vs SOT-223); supports higher current but lacks analog gate drive flexibility | Select when board space allows SO-8 and dual-channel integration improves BOM count. |
Compared with IPS1021H, VNN1NV04TR-E delivers 40% lower conduction loss at 1.5 A and superior inductive energy handling; versus VND5E025AKTR-E, it offers simpler single-channel layout and direct analog control - ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 12 V industrial nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for VNN1NV04TR-E under typical PCB conditions?
The device supports up to 1.5 A continuous drain current when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with ≥50 mm² of 35 µm copper connected to the drain pad, assuming ambient temperature ≤50 °C and no forced airflow. Derating applies above 50 °C ambient per Figure 11 in the datasheet, with full current limited by thermal resistance (Rthj-amb = 70 °C/W).
Can VNN1NV04TR-E be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - the input threshold voltage (VINTH) is specified from 0.5 V to 2.5 V, and the device draws only 100–150 µA from the input pin. A 3.3 V GPIO can fully turn on the device while remaining within absolute maximum ratings; no level shifter or buffer is required.
How does the diagnostic feedback (Igf) work during thermal fault?
When junction temperature exceeds Tjsh (150–200 °C), the device actively sinks 10–20 mA through the INPUT pin. This current flows through an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to 5 V), causing the input voltage to drop below 0.8 V - a reliable logic-low signal detectable by any MCU GPIO configured as input with internal pull-up enabled.
Is an external flyback diode required when driving inductive loads?
No - the integrated 40 V drain-source clamp (VCLAMP) safely absorbs inductive energy during turn-off. Testing per Figure 6 confirms robust unclamped inductive switching up to 55 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy. An external diode is unnecessary unless system-level transient immunity beyond 40 V is required.
