Product details

Overview

VNP35NV04 from STMicroelectronics is a fully autoprotected monolithic Power MOSFET in TO-220 package, designed as a robust replacement for standard power switches in DC–25 kHz load switching applications. It integrates linear current limitation (30 A typical), thermal shutdown (170 °C trip), overvoltage clamp (45 V typ), diagnostic feedback via input pin, and ESD protection (4 kV HBM). It serves as a smart high-side switch in industrial motor control and solenoid drivers.

For engineers reviewing the VNP35NV04 datasheet, VNP35NV04 pinout, VNP35NV04 application, or VNP35NV04 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 mΩ R_DS(on) at 25 °C, integrated fault reporting, rugged unclamped avalanche energy (1.7 J), and compatibility with TTL-level drive without external gate resistors.

Technical Context

The VNP35NV04 implements ST's VIPower M0-3 technology to embed protection logic directly into the power stage. Its linear current limiter activates at ~30 A and holds drain current constant regardless of input voltage, enabling predictable fault behavior under overload. The internal overvoltage clamp triggers at 36 V threshold and clamps to 45 V, protecting against inductive kickback.

Fault detection is implemented via sink current (10–20 mA) on the INPUT pin during overtemperature events, allowing simple open-collector monitoring. Thermal shutdown and reset thresholds are tightly coupled (T_jsh = 150–200 °C, T_jrs = 135 °C), ensuring reliable hysteresis without external components.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	10 mΩ max at V_IN = 5 V, I_D = 15 A, T_j = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in high-current switching
I_lim	30 A typical at V_IN = 6 V, V_DS = 13 V - provides precise, temperature-compensated current limiting
V_CLAMP	40–55 V at I_D = 15 A - clamps inductive transients to safe levels without external TVS
T_jsh	150–200 °C - junction temperature shutdown threshold with built-in thermal sensing in power die region
I_ISS	100–150 µA at V_IN = 5 V - ultra-low quiescent current for input-stage biasing
E_AS	1.7 J at T_j = 25 °C - single-pulse avalanche energy rating supports inductive load reliability
R_thj-case	1 °C/W max - enables high-power dissipation (125 W) with minimal case-to-junction thermal rise

Pinout & Package

TO-220 package (3-pin, straight lead, insulated tab); case material: epoxy thermoset; mounting surface: metal tab (Drain-connected); thermal pad electrically tied to Drain.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (Tab)	Drain	High-current output terminal; electrically connected to metal tab for heatsinking and current return path
2	Source	Power ground reference; internally connected to all Source pins (pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9); low-impedance return path
3	Input	Logic-level gate control input; sinks diagnostic current (10–20 mA) during fault; requires ≥4.7 Ω series impedance

Key Features

Use Value: Eliminates need for external flyback diode, current-sense resistor, and thermal sensor-reducing BOM count by 4 components.

Use Scenario: Controlling brushed DC motors in automated conveyor systems where stall conditions must be detected and managed.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protected power switch with real-time current limiting and automatic thermal recovery to prevent motor burnout.

Use Value: Enables safe stall detection at 30 A limit and auto-restart after cooldown-no firmware intervention required.

Automotive HVAC Blower

PLC Output Module

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TTL-compatible high-side driver with integrated diagnostics for CAN-linked ECU monitoring.

Use Value: Supports direct MCU GPIO drive (no level shifter), reports overtemperature via INPUT pin voltage drop-simplifies compliance with ISO 16750-2.

Use Scenario: Solid-state output channel in industrial PLC modules switching 24 V DC loads with field-wire short-circuit risk.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant output stage with short-circuit protection, current limiting, and open-load detection capability.

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STSPIN250	Lower R_DS(on) (6 mΩ), but rated only to 2.8 A continuous; no integrated current limiting or thermal shutdown	Targeted at low-power stepper motor drivers-not suitable for 30 A load switching	Select only for sub-3 A applications requiring higher efficiency, not functional replacement
IPS1021H	Same TO-220 package, 12 mΩ R_DS(on), 60 V clamp, but uses digital fault flag (not analog sink current) and lacks linear current mode	Designed for fast digital diagnostics in safety-critical systems; no analog driving capability	Prefer when system requires SPI status register readout and failsafe lockout-not for analog dimming or legacy GPIO monitoring

Compared with VNP35NV04, STSPIN250 offers lower conduction loss but lacks protection features essential for industrial loads, while IPS1021H provides digital diagnostics at the cost of analog flexibility and linear-mode operation.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VNP35NV04?

The device features an internally limited drain current of 30 A typical under normal operating conditions (V_IN = 6 V, V_DS = 13 V). This limit is maintained across temperature (–40 °C to 150 °C) and is enforced by on-die linear current regulation-not by external circuitry.

Can VNP35NV04 be driven directly from a microcontroller GPIO?

Yes-its INPUT pin accepts TTL-compatible logic levels (0.5–2.5 V threshold) and draws only 100–150 µA during normal operation. No level shifter or gate driver is needed, provided the GPIO can source ≥1 mA for startup and tolerate 0 V during fault sink events.

How does the diagnostic feedback function during overtemperature fault?

When junction temperature exceeds T_jsh (150–200 °C), the device sinks 10–20 mA through the INPUT pin. If driven by a low-impedance source, this pulls the pin toward 0 V; if driven high-impedance, the pin voltage collapses-both states are detectable by a microcontroller ADC or comparator.

Is external flyback protection required when switching inductive loads?

No-VNP35NV04 integrates an overvoltage clamp with 36 V threshold and 40–55 V clamping voltage. It safely absorbs inductive energy up to 1.7 J per pulse, eliminating the need for external flyback diodes in most 24 V industrial applications.
