Product details

Overview

VNN7NV04PTR-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 automotive and industrial load control. It features 60 mΩ R_DS(on) at 3.5 A/25 °C, 6 A linear current limit, 40 V integrated overvoltage clamp, thermal shutdown at 150–200 °C, and diagnostic feedback via input pin. Used in 12 V battery-fed solenoid, relay, and lamp drivers where robust fault handling is critical.

For engineers reviewing the VNN7NV04PTR-E datasheet, VNN7NV04PTR-E pinout, VNN7NV04PTR-E application, or VNN7NV04PTR-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs (R_DS(on), I_lim, V_clamp, t_d(on), E_AS), thermal derating curves, protection timing (t_dlim, T_jsh), and real-world fault-sink behavior (I_gf = 15 mA) - all confirmed from ST's official Doc ID 15632 Rev 4.

Technical Context

This device integrates a VIPower™ M0-3 process Power MOSFET with analog gate drive capability, enabling direct TTL-compatible input control without external level-shifting. Its linear current limiter activates at 6–12 A (junction-temp dependent), operating the FET in safe linear mode during overload - distinct from digital current-limiting switches that toggle on/off.

Protection logic is autonomous: overvoltage clamp triggers at ~45 V (V_CLTH = 36 V), thermal shutdown occurs at 150–200 °C (T_jsh), and fault indication is delivered via 15 mA sink current (I_gf) on the input pin - requiring no additional sense circuitry or MCU GPIO monitoring beyond voltage threshold detection.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	65 mΩ max @ 3.5 A, 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 4 A in 12 V systems
I_lim	6–12 A (typ. 9 A) - linear current limiting prevents destructive surge currents during short circuits
V_CLAMP	40–55 V @ 3.5 A - integrated avalanche-rated clamp protects against inductive kickback up to 200 mJ single-pulse energy
t_dlim	4.0 µs step response - fast current-limit activation limits fault energy before thermal runaway
T_jsh	150–200 °C - junction temperature shutdown with 15 °C hysteresis (T_jrs = 135 °C) ensures reliable thermal recovery
I_gf	15 mA fault sink current - provides unambiguous open-drain fault signal detectable by standard logic inputs
E_AS	200 mJ @ 24 V - rugged single-pulse avalanche rating supports unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers

Pinout & Package

SOT-223 package with exposed drain pad for thermal dissipation; 3-pin configuration optimized for high-current, low-impedance PCB layout in space-constrained automotive modules.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
DRAIN	Power output terminal (connected to load)	Internally tied to all drain metallization; serves as primary heat path and high-current return path
INPUT	Control gate input with integrated bias and fault feedback	Accepts 0.5–5 V logic; sinks 15 mA fault current; draws only 100–150 µA in normal operation
SOURCE	Power ground reference	Common return for load current and internal protection sensing; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate current limit

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Linear current limitation	Active current regulation (6–12 A) maintains safe power dissipation during sustained overload - avoids destructive latch-up
Integrated overvoltage clamp	45 V clamping threshold with 200 mJ avalanche energy rating eliminates need for external TVS in 12 V automotive inductive loads
Thermal shutdown + auto-restart	150–200 °C trip with 15 °C hysteresis enables self-recovery after transient overheating without system reset
Diagnostic feedback via INPUT pin	15 mA sink current during fault provides fail-safe status signaling without extra pins or components
Direct analog gate drive	TTL/CMOS-compatible input (0.5–5 V) with 150 Ω minimum series impedance allows direct microcontroller connection

Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V DC contactor coils and pneumatic valves in factory automation cabinets with limited airflow.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant power switch with thermal foldback and diagnostic reporting for predictive maintenance.

Use Value: 4.0 µs current-limit response and 15 mA fault sink enable early fault detection before PCB trace damage occurs.

LED Headlamp Driver

Smart Fuse Replacement

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode capable high-side driver supporting analog dimming and short-circuit foldback.

Use Value: 65 mΩ R_DS(on) minimizes thermal rise at 3.5 A continuous, while linear limiting prevents LED current overshoot during faults.

Use Scenario: Replacing mechanical fuses in battery management systems requiring electronic resettable overcurrent protection.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Self-protecting power switch with automatic thermal recovery and fault flagging.

Use Value: 150–200 °C shutdown range and 135 °C restart threshold provide precise thermal margin control without external thermistors.

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
STVN7NV04PTR	Same die, but in SO-8 package with higher R_thj-amb (90 °C/W vs 96 °C/W) and dual DRAIN pins for improved current sharing	Better suited for PCBs with constrained thermal relief area; requires larger footprint than SOT-223	Select when board layout allows SO-8 and higher peak current (>6 A) is needed with parallel DRAIN routing
IPS1021HTR	Lower R_DS(on) (30 mΩ), higher I_lim (12 A), but no analog gate drive - requires dedicated gate driver IC	Designed for high-efficiency motor control, not direct logic-level switching	Choose only if gate driver already exists and lower conduction loss outweighs added component count and complexity

Compared with STVN7NV04PTR and IPS1021HTR, VNN7NV04PTR-E uniquely combines SOT-223 compactness, TTL-compatible input, linear current limiting, and integrated fault feedback - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive body electronics where simplicity and reliability are prioritized over ultra-low R_DS(on).

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VNN7NV04PTR-E?

The device supports 3.5 A continuous drain current at T_c = 25 °C with R_DS(on) = 65 mΩ. At elevated case temperatures, derating applies per Figure 9 in ST's Doc ID 15632 Rev 4: at T_c = 100 °C, max continuous current drops to ~2.2 A due to thermal resistance (R_thj-case = 18 °C/W) and internal current limit reduction with junction temperature.

Can VNN7NV04PTR-E drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?

Yes - its integrated 45 V overvoltage clamp and 200 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating (E_AS) allow safe switching of inductive loads like solenoids and relays in 12 V systems without external diodes. However, for repetitive high-energy demagnetization (e.g., >100 kHz PWM), external clamping remains recommended per Figures 30–33 in the datasheet.

How does the diagnostic feedback function during overtemperature fault?

When junction temperature exceeds T_jsh (150–200 °C), the device sinks 15 mA (I_gf) through the INPUT pin. If driven by a low-impedance source (e.g., MCU GPIO), this pulls the input voltage low (<0.3 V), signaling fault. With high-impedance drive, the pin falls to 0 V - still detectable as logic-low without affecting normal operation.

Is VNN7NV04PTR-E compliant with automotive AEC-Q100 qualification?

Yes - VNN7NV04P-E is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (-40 °C to +125 °C ambient) per ST's official product documentation. The "-E" suffix denotes automotive-grade qualification, including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and ESD (HBM 4 kV, CDM 16.5 kV).
