Product details
Overview
VNN3NV04PTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic OMNIFET II fully autoprotected Power MOSFET in SOT-223 package, designed as a rugged replacement for standard N-channel Power MOSFETs in DC–50 kHz switching applications. It features 120 mΩ RDS(on), 3.5 A linear current limit, and integrated 40 V overvoltage clamp - enabling reliable load switching in automotive body electronics, industrial I/O modules, and 24 V DC power distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the VNN3NV04PTR-E datasheet, VNN3NV04PTR-E pinout, VNN3NV04PTR-E application, or VNN3NV04PTR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its diagnostic feedback via input pin, thermal shutdown at 170 °C typical, direct gate access for analog driving, ESD robustness (4 kV HBM), and compatibility with TTL-level logic drive.
Technical Context
This device integrates VIPower® M0-3 technology to embed protection circuitry directly into the power stage: linear current limiting operates independently of input voltage, while overtemperature sensing occurs locally in the power die region for fast response. The internal clamp diode and avalanche-rated structure support unclamped inductive switching up to 100 mJ single-pulse energy.
Operation relies on low-impedance gate connection - input pin drives the MOSFET gate directly, drawing only 100–150 µA supply current during normal conduction. Fault detection is implemented by sinking 10–20 mA diagnostic current (Igf) into the input pin when junction temperature exceeds 170 °C, enabling system-level fault signaling without external sensors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 120 mΩ @ VIN = 5 V, ID = 1.5 A, Tj = 25 °C - enables low-conduction-loss switching in 24 V loads up to ~3 A continuous. |
| Ilim | 3.5 A min @ VIN = 5 V, VDS = 13 V - provides predictable current limiting during overload or short-circuit events. |
| VCLAMP | 40 V typ @ ID = 1.5 A - clamps inductive kickback to protect downstream circuitry without external snubbers. |
| Tjsh | 150–200 °C shutdown range, 170 °C typical - triggers thermal cutoff before silicon damage, with 15 °C hysteresis for auto-restart. |
| Igf | 10–20 mA fault sink current - allows direct interface with microcontroller GPIO for hardware-level fault reporting. |
| ESD Rating | 4000 V HBM (R = 1.5 kΩ, C = 100 pF) - meets automotive and industrial ESD immunity requirements without external protection. |
| Switching Speed | td(on) = 90 ns, tr = 250 ns @ Rgen = 220 Ω - supports clean turn-on in high-frequency DC-DC and PWM motor control. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package: surface-mount, thermally enhanced 4-pin outline with exposed drain pad (pin 2) for improved heat dissipation. Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = DRAIN (connected to tab), Pin 3 = SOURCE, Pin 4 = SOURCE (dual-source configuration).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (INPUT) | Gate control & fault feedback node | Directly drives internal MOSFET gate; sinks 10–20 mA diagnostic current during thermal fault - requires ≥220 Ω series impedance for safe operation. |
| Pin 2 (DRAIN) | Main power output terminal | Connected to exposed metal tab; carries full load current and dissipates heat - must be soldered to large copper pour for Rthj-case ≤ 18 °C/W. |
| Pins 3 & 4 (SOURCE) | Power return and reference ground | Dual-source configuration reduces source inductance; establishes local ground reference for current-sense and protection circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear current limitation | Clamps ID to 3.5 A regardless of VIN; avoids destructive latch-up during sustained overload. |
| Integrated overvoltage clamp | 40 V threshold with rugged avalanche capability - eliminates need for external TVS or Zener clamping in solenoid/relay drivers. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 170 °C typical, restarts at ~155 °C - prevents thermal runaway in sealed enclosures or poor airflow conditions. |
| Diagnostic feedback via input pin | Sinks 15 mA fault current into INPUT pin - enables direct GPIO monitoring without optocouplers or ADC channels. |
| Direct gate access (analog driving) | Input pin connects directly to gate with no internal level-shifter - supports variable-duty PWM and linear regulation modes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar protected Power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP36NF06L | Standard N-channel MOSFET, no integrated protection; RDS(on) = 40 mΩ @ 10 V, but requires external current sense, thermal monitor, and clamp. | Lacks fault feedback, linear current limit, and thermal shutdown - suitable only where protection is implemented at system level. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs design simplicity and board space constraints. |
| VND5T016AKTR-E | Higher voltage rating (45 V), dual-channel, 160 mΩ RDS(on), same VIPower M0-3 architecture and diagnostic feedback capability. | Designed for dual-load applications (e.g., mirror/heater control); shares identical protection behavior but higher on-resistance. | Choose for space-constrained dual-output designs requiring matched protection features and footprint compatibility. |
Compared with STP36NF06L, VNN3NV04PTR-E trades 80 mΩ higher RDS(on) for autonomous protection and diagnostics; versus VND5T016AKTR-E, it offers lower on-resistance and single-channel optimization for cost-sensitive single-load systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for VNN3NV04PTR-E under typical PCB conditions?
The device delivers 3.5 A continuous drain current with linear current limiting active. At Tc = 25 °C on a standard FR4 board with 50 mm² copper pour, its 7 W total dissipation supports ~2.5 A continuous conduction before thermal derating begins - confirmed by Figure 10 derating curve in ST's Doc ID 15626 Rev. 5.
Can VNN3NV04PTR-E be used in high-side switching configurations?
No - VNN3NV04PTR-E is a low-side N-channel switch with SOURCE pins referenced to system ground. Its INPUT pin controls the gate relative to SOURCE, making it unsuitable for high-side use without level-shifting circuitry. For high-side applications, ST recommends VNH5019AS or similar integrated half-bridges.
How does the diagnostic feedback mechanism work during thermal fault?
When junction temperature exceeds 170 °C, the device sinks 10–20 mA (Igf) into the INPUT pin. If driven by a low-impedance source (e.g., MCU GPIO with 220 Ω series resistor), this pulls the input voltage toward 0 V, signaling fault. No external pull-up is required - the behavior is self-contained and electrically defined in Table 4.
Is the SOT-223 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - VNN3NV04PTR-E uses ST's ECOPACK®-compliant SOT-223 package, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH regulations. The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with lead-free matte tin plating, verified per ST's official product change notification PCN-2012-018.
