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 RDS(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 (VIN = 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 |
|---|---|
| VDS Max | 70 V internally clamped - eliminates need for external TVS in 24 V/48 V industrial bus applications |
| RDS(on) | 0.1 Ω @ VIN = 10 V, ID = 5 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at 5 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| Ilim | 10 A (linear limit) - sustains controlled current during short-circuit, preventing instantaneous failure |
| Tjsh | 150 °C - fast-acting thermal cutoff protects silicon before bond wire degradation |
| Qi | 30 nC @ VDD = 12 V - supports efficient 10–100 kHz PWM switching with low gate drive power |
| VSD | 1.6 V @ ISD = 5 A - integrated body diode reduces BOM count in half-bridge or relay-drive topologies |
| EAS | 0.4 J @ Tj = 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 VIN(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.

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 RDS(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% RDS(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 Ilim (e.g., 10 A) while VDS 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 (VSD = 1.6 V @ 5 A, trr = 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.
