Product details
Overview
VNP10N07FI from STMicroelectronics is a fully autoprotected monolithic power MOSFET based on VIPower M0 technology, designed as a rugged replacement for standard N-channel MOSFETs in DC–50 kHz switching applications. It features 70 V drain-source clamp voltage, 0.1 Ω RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive, 10 A current limit, integrated thermal shutdown, and diagnostic feedback via the input pin - used in industrial motor control and solenoid drivers.
For engineers reviewing the VNP10N07FI datasheet, VNP10N07FI pinout, VNP10N07FI application, or VNP10N07FI equivalent, key selection criteria include its linear current limiting behavior, fault-sensing capability through the input pin, clamped avalanche energy rating (0.4 J), and compatibility with TTL-level driving despite internal gate buffering.
Technical Context
This device integrates a power MOSFET with protection circuitry including overvoltage clamp (70 V typ.), linear current limiter (7–14 A range), and junction-temperature sensing (shutdown at ≥150 °C, restart at ≤135 °C). The input pin directly controls the gate but also serves as fault indicator by sinking up to 50 mA when protection activates.
Switching performance is characterized by 50–400 ns turn-on/off times (Rgen = 10 Ω), 30 nC total gate charge, and 6–8 S transconductance. Its source-drain diode exhibits 1.6 V forward drop at 5 A and 125 ns reverse recovery time - critical for inductive load handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Clamp | 70 V typical - protects against inductive kickback without external TVS |
| RDS(on) | 0.1 Ω at VIN = 10 V, ID = 5 A - enables low conduction loss in 12 V systems |
| Ilim | 10 A at VIN = 10 V - provides predictable current limiting during overload or short-circuit |
| Tjsh | ≥150 °C - triggers automatic thermal shutdown before silicon damage occurs |
| Qi | 30 nC - determines gate driver strength requirement for 50 kHz PWM operation |
| Eas | 0.4 J single-pulse avalanche energy - supports unclamped inductive switching in relay/solenoid drivers |
| VIN(th) | 0.8–3 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V logic without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO-10 (surface-mount, heatsink-tab down, JEDEC MO-220 variant). Thermal resistance Rthj-case = 2.5 °C/W enables 50 W dissipation at Tc = 25 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2,4,5 | Source | Common return path for load current; electrically tied to exposed tab in D2PAK variants |
| 6,7,8,9,10 | Input | Logic-compatible gate control input; also carries fault feedback signal (pulled to ~0 V during thermal/short-circuit event) |
| Tab (Drain) | Drain | Main high-side power output terminal; thermally coupled to heatsink via soldered metal tab |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated overvoltage clamp | 70 V clamping threshold eliminates need for external snubber in 24 V industrial loads |
| Linear current limiting | Maintains constant 10 A output regardless of VIN, enabling predictable fault behavior in motor stall conditions |
| Diagnostic feedback | Input pin sinks 50 mA during fault - allows detection with single resistor-to-VCC and comparator |
| Direct gate access | Internal gate accessible for analog driving - supports linear regulation mode beyond simple on/off switching |
| ESD robustness | 2000 V HBM rating - withstands handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly environments |
Applications
| Industrial Solenoid Driver | DC Motor Stall Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC solenoids in valve actuators where inductive kickback and intermittent short circuits occur. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch with built-in clamp and current limit - replaces discrete MOSFET + TVS + current sense + comparator. Use Value: Eliminates 4–6 external components while guaranteeing 0.4 J avalanche energy handling and 125 ns diode recovery for fast de-energization. | Use Scenario: Controlling brushed DC motors in automated machinery where stall currents exceed rated limits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-regulated power stage - operates in linear mode during stall, then shuts down thermally if sustained. Use Value: Prevents MOSFET destruction during 5–10 s stall events without requiring external current-sense amplifiers or microcontroller intervention. |
| Automated Door Lock Actuator | PLC Output Module Channel |
Use Scenario: Driving electromagnetic door locks in access control systems with frequent on/off cycling and ESD exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant power switch with status feedback - reports lock engagement failure via input pin voltage drop. Use Value: Enables real-time diagnostics using existing PLC input lines, reducing wiring complexity and field-service time. | Use Scenario: Solid-state output channel in programmable logic controller modules requiring >100,000 cycle reliability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protected switching element - handles inductive loads up to 50 kHz PWM with integrated thermal reset (135 °C). Use Value: Supports hot-swap capability and continuous operation under partial-load derating, verified per IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-4 compliance testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar protected power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250 | Lower voltage (45 V), integrated current sense, SPI interface - no analog gate access or clamp feedback | Targeted at stepper motor drivers; lacks 70 V clamp and diagnostic pin functionality | Choose for digital-control-based motion systems needing closed-loop current regulation |
| IPS1025H | Same 70 V clamp, higher RDS(on) (0.15 Ω), 2.5 A continuous rating - no linear current limit | Designed for high-side load switches with fast short-circuit response (<1 µs), not motor/solenoid drive | Choose for low-power distributed I/O where fast fault clearing outweighs conduction loss |
Compared with STSPIN250 and IPS1025H, VNP10N07FI uniquely combines 10 A current limit, 70 V clamping, analog gate access, and diagnostic feedback in a single PowerSO-10 package - making it optimal for industrial DC load switching where fault visibility and ruggedness are prioritized over digital control or ultra-fast response.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for VNP10N07FI?
VNP10N07FI is rated for DC to 50 kHz operation per official ST documentation. At 50 kHz with 5 A load and 10 Ω gate resistor, measured turn-on/off times (50–400 ns) ensure minimal switching loss. Higher frequencies increase self-heating due to fixed 30 nC gate charge and require careful thermal design to stay within 150 °C junction limit.
Can VNP10N07FI be used in high-side configuration with floating ground?
Yes - VNP10N07FI is inherently a high-side switch with source pins referenced to system ground. Its input pin accepts 0–18 V logic, allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs. No level shifter is needed, and the diagnostic feedback remains functional even when source is grounded.
How does the current limit behave under varying temperature?
The current limit decreases gradually above 25 °C case temperature: from 10 A at 25 °C to 7 A at 125 °C. This derating is intentional and documented in the "Current Limit vs Junction Temperature" graph (page 8 of datasheet), ensuring safe operation without abrupt trip points during thermal transients.
Is external freewheeling diode required when driving inductive loads?
No - VNP10N07FI integrates an optimized source-drain diode with 1.6 V forward drop at 5 A and 125 ns reverse recovery time. It is rated for continuous 5 A conduction and handles typical relay/solenoid flyback energy. An external diode is only needed for ultra-fast recovery (<50 ns) or bidirectional current requirements.
