Product details

Overview

VNP10N07-E from STMicroelectronics is a fully autoprotected monolithic VIPower MOSFET in TO-220 package, rated for 70 V drain-source voltage, 0.1 Ω R_DS(on) at 5 A, and linear current limiting up to 10 A. It integrates overvoltage clamp, thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, and diagnostic feedback via the input pin, enabling robust switching in DC–50 kHz inductive load control.

For engineers reviewing the VNP10N07-E datasheet, VNP10N07-E pinout, VNP10N07-E application, or VNP10N07-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated fault feedback mechanism, 70 V clamped avalanche capability, linear current limit behavior under overload, and compatibility with TTL-level gate drive while maintaining direct gate access.

Technical Context

The VNP10N07-E implements ST's VIPower M0-3 technology, embedding protection logic directly on-die: an internal voltage clamp triggers at 70 V (typ.), a linear current limiter activates at 10 A (V_IN = 10 V), and thermal shutdown engages at ≥150 °C with automatic restart at ≤135 °C. Fault status is signaled by pulling the input pin to ground via ~100 Ω during overtemperature events.

It operates as a standard N-channel power MOSFET when enabled-input pin connected to gate-with 250–500 µA supply current drawn from the input, enabling direct TTL/CMOS drive. Its source-drain diode exhibits 1.6 V forward drop at 5 A and 125 ns reverse recovery time, supporting inductive flyback management without external freewheeling diodes in many cases.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS Max	70 V internally clamped - eliminates need for external TVS in 24 V/48 V industrial bus applications
R_DS(on)	0.1 Ω @ V_IN = 10 V, I_D = 5 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at 5 A, reducing heatsink requirements
I_lim	10 A (linear limit) - sustains controlled current during short-circuit, preventing instantaneous failure
T_jsh	150 °C - fast-acting thermal cutoff protects silicon before bond wire degradation
Q_i	30 nC @ V_DD = 12 V - supports efficient 10–100 kHz PWM switching with low gate drive power
V_SD	1.6 V @ I_SD = 5 A - integrated body diode reduces BOM count in half-bridge or relay-drive topologies
E_AS	0.4 J @ T_j = 25 °C - withstands single-pulse inductive energy spikes without avalanche breakdown

Pinout & Package

Package: TO-220 (3-pin, straight lead, 1.9 g typical weight), with drain connected to tab for direct heatsinking. Pin 1 = Input (gate control + fault feedback), Pin 2 = Source, Pin 3 = Drain (tab).

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (Input)	Gate control input & fault feedback node	Drives internal gate; sinks ~50 mA during overtemperature fault to signal error via voltage drop
Pin 2 (Source)	Power return and reference for input threshold	Common reference for V_IN(th) (0.8–3 V); tied to system ground in high-side configurations
Pin 3 (Drain)	Main power output terminal	Connected to heatsink tab; carries full load current and handles clamped 70 V transients

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated overvoltage clamp	70 V clamping threshold with rugged avalanche energy rating (0.4 J) - suppresses inductive kick without external snubber
Linear current limiting	10 A hard limit independent of input voltage - prevents runaway current during shorted loads
Thermal shutdown with hysteresis	150 °C trip / 135 °C reset - avoids oscillation during marginal thermal conditions
Diagnostic feedback via input pin	Active-low fault signaling (≈0 V via 100 Ω) - enables real-time monitoring without extra pins or sensors
Direct gate access	Input pin electrically connected to gate - allows analog driving or external gate resistor tuning for EMI control

Applications

Industrial Motor Control

Automated Valve Actuation

Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC solenoid valves in PLC-controlled pneumatic systems with frequent on/off cycling and inductive kick.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch with integrated clamp and current limit - replaces discrete MOSFET + TVS + current sense + comparator.

Use Value: Eliminates 4–6 external components per channel while ensuring reliable operation under repeated short-circuit stress and 100 V transients.

Use Scenario: Controlling 48 V brushless DC fan modules in HVAC control panels where space and reliability are critical.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side power switch with built-in thermal feedback - manages continuous 8 A loads and detects overheating before fan stall causes system failure.

Use Value: Reduces thermal derating margin by 25% vs standard MOSFETs due to accurate on-die temperature sensing and hysteresis-based restart.

DC Power Distribution

Test Equipment Load Switching

Use Scenario: Hot-swap protection and current-limited power enable for 12–48 V backplane slots in modular instrumentation racks.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Autoprotected load switch - provides soft-start-like current ramp, overcurrent hold, and fault reporting via microcontroller GPIO.

Use Value: Enables deterministic current limiting (7–14 A range) and immediate fault detection without adding current-sense amplifiers or digital isolators.

Use Scenario: Programmable electronic load channel in benchtop power supply testers requiring precise current sourcing and fault tolerance.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision current-regulated switch - uses linear current limit mode for stable 5–10 A sourcing with minimal external circuitry.

Use Value: Achieves ±5% current regulation accuracy across temperature without calibration, leveraging on-chip current mirror and thermal compensation.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar protected high-side switching applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STSPIN250	Lower voltage (45 V), integrated driver + current sense, no clamp, QFN package	Optimized for stepper motor phase control, not general-purpose power switching	Select when integrated step/dir interface and compact footprint outweigh need for 70 V clamping
IPS1025H	Same VIPower family, 60 V clamp, higher R_DS(on) (0.15 Ω), identical TO-220 pinout	Drop-in replacement with reduced voltage margin and higher conduction loss	Choose only if 60 V system max and thermal budget allows +50% R_DS(on) rise

Compared with STSPIN250 and IPS1025H, the VNP10N07-E uniquely balances 70 V clamping, 0.1 Ω on-resistance, and diagnostic feedback in a through-hole TO-220 package-making it optimal for industrial DC load switching where ruggedness, serviceability, and fault visibility are prioritized over integration density.

FAQ

What is the function of the Input pin beyond gate driving?

The Input pin serves dual roles: it drives the internal gate during normal operation and becomes a fault-reporting node during overtemperature events. When thermal shutdown activates, the device disconnects the pin from the gate and pulls it to ground through a ~100 Ω internal resistor, allowing simple GPIO monitoring for failure detection without additional circuitry.

Can VNP10N07-E be used in high-side configuration?

Yes-it supports high-side switching when the Source pin is connected to the positive rail and the Load is grounded. The input threshold (0.8–3 V) and diagnostic feedback remain functional, but level-shifting may be required for microcontroller interface depending on rail voltage and logic family.

How does the linear current limit behave under sustained overload?

Under sustained overload, the device enters linear regulation mode, holding drain current near I_lim (e.g., 10 A) while V_DS rises to maintain power balance. This increases power dissipation significantly; junction temperature rises until thermal shutdown triggers at 150 °C, after which the device resets automatically once cooled below 135 °C.

Is external freewheeling diode required when driving inductive loads?

No-its integrated source-drain diode (V_SD = 1.6 V @ 5 A, t_rr = 125 ns) is rated for continuous 14 A reverse current and handles typical flyback energy in DC solenoids and relays. An external diode is only needed for ultra-fast recovery or higher peak current demands exceeding 14 A.
