Product details
Overview
VNQ7E100AJTR from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel automotive smart high-side driver in PowerSSO-16 package, designed for 12 V grounded loads with 3 V/5 V CMOS-compatible control. It delivers 100 mΩ typical on-state resistance per channel, 15 A current limitation, and supports deep cold cranking down to 2.85 V. Used in ADAS radar/sensor power distribution and automotive lamp control.
For engineers reviewing the VNQ7E100AJTR datasheet, VNQ7E100AJTR pinout, VNQ7E100AJTR application, or VNQ7E100AJTR equivalent, key selection criteria include cranking voltage margin (2.85 V), analog CurrentSense precision (±7% at 2 A), latch-off configurability, reverse battery protection compatibility, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
This device integrates four independent VIPower® M0-7 high-side switches with multiplexed analog current sensing via a single CS pin. Each channel features programmable fault response (auto-restart or latch-off), thermal shutdown with 150–200 °C trip range, and undervoltage lockout with 0.3 V hysteresis.
The diagnostic architecture supports simultaneous OFF-state open-load detection (VOL threshold 2–4 V), short-to-VCC identification, and real-time proportional load current mirroring (K-factor = 710 ±7% at 2 A). FaultRST enables active unlatching, while SEn and SEL0/SEL1 pins configure sensing mode and channel selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4–28 V operating; supports 2.85 V cranking-enables reliable startup in extreme cold (-40 °C) |
| RON (per channel) | 100 mΩ typ. at 1 A/25 °C-minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in 12 V systems |
| ILIMH | 15 A typ. DC short-circuit limit-provides robust overload protection without external fusing |
| ISTBY | 0.5 µA max. at 13 V/25 °C-reduces parasitic drain in always-on vehicle modules |
| CurrentSense Accuracy | ±7% error at 2 A output-enables precise closed-loop load monitoring for ADAS power integrity |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150–200 °C trip range with 7 K hysteresis-prevents thermal runaway during sustained overloads |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified to Grade 1 (-40 to +125 °C ambient) with extended junction rating to +150 °C-validates under-hood reliability |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-16 (exposed thermal pad connected to VCC); thermally optimized for PCB mounting with Rthj-board = 7.7 °C/W on 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Battery supply input | Primary power rail; connects to exposed thermal tab-must be reverse-battery protected externally |
| GND | Ground reference | System return path; requires external diode/resistor network for reverse battery survival |
| OUTPUT0–3 | High-side switched outputs | Drive grounded automotive loads (lamps, solenoids, sensors); each internally current-limited and thermally protected |
| INPUT0–3 | CMOS-compatible control inputs | Accept 3 V/5 V logic; include hysteresis (0.2 V) for noise immunity in harsh EMI environments |
| CS | Multiplexed analog current sense output | Delivers proportional current mirror (ISENSE = IOUT/710); indicates faults via voltage clamping (5–6.6 V) |
| SEn | Sense enable | Active-high control enabling CS diagnostics; allows OFF-state diagnosis disable during low-power modes |
| SEL0, SEL1 | Current sense channel selector | 2-bit address for multiplexing CS among four channels; supports shared external sense resistor |
| FaultRST | Fault reset/unlatch control | Active-low input; unlatches latched outputs or forces auto-restart mode when held low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel CurrentSense multiplexing | Single CS pin monitors all four channels with <20 µs inter-channel transition-reduces BOM and routing complexity |
| Deep cranking support | Operates down to 2.85 V VCC with guaranteed 300 mΩ RON-ensures headlamp or radar power during engine start |
| Configurable fault response | Latch-off or auto-restart selectable via FaultRST pin state-enables fail-safe or self-healing behavior per system requirement |
| OFF-state open-load detection | VOL threshold 2–4 V with 5–30 µs delay-identifies broken lamp filaments or disconnected ADAS sensors without wake-up |
| Reverse battery resilience | Compatible with external diode/resistor network on GND-meets ISO 16750-2 for 12 V automotive electrical systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VNQ7E050AJTR | 50 mΩ RON, 25 A ILIMH, same package and pinout | Better suited for high-current solenoids and motors; higher conduction loss at light loads | Select when peak load exceeds 15 A and thermal margin permits higher RON-related losses |
| TPS4H160-Q1 | Single-channel, 160 mΩ RON, integrated SPI interface, no analog CS | Requires four devices for quad function; offers digital diagnostics but no proportional current mirror | Choose for systems prioritizing ASIL-B compliance and firmware-configurable protection over analog sensing fidelity |
Compared with VNQ7E100AJTR, VNQ7E050AJTR trades lower RON for higher quiescent current (1 µA vs. 0.5 µA) and reduced cranking margin (3.0 V vs. 2.85 V), while TPS4H160-Q1 sacrifices analog CurrentSense resolution and thermal cycling responsiveness for programmable digital control and functional safety features.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for guaranteed operation during cold cranking?
VNQ7E100AJTR guarantees operation down to 2.85 V VCC (decreasing) with specified 300 mΩ RON and functional diagnostics. This meets LV124 Rev 2013 deep cranking requirements and ensures radar or lamp functionality during engine start at -40 °C ambient.
How does the CurrentSense multiplexer work across four channels?
The CS pin delivers proportional current (ISENSE = IOUT/710) for one selected channel at a time, controlled by SEn (enable) and SEL0/SEL1 (2-bit address). Transition between channels takes ≤20 µs, and OFF-state diagnostics (e.g., open-load) are reported on the same pin when the addressed channel is inactive.
Can VNQ7E100AJTR survive reverse battery conditions?
VNQ7E100AJTR itself is not reverse-battery rated, but its GND pin is designed to interface with an external diode/resistor network that provides reverse polarity protection per ISO 16750-2. The datasheet specifies mandatory external circuitry-no internal reverse-battery hardening is present.
What fault responses are configurable, and how is latch-off disabled?
Fault response is set by the FaultRST pin: logic high enables latch-off on overtemperature or overload, while logic low forces auto-restart mode. Unlatching occurs within 3–20 µs of FaultRST falling edge, and holding FaultRST low continuously disables latch-off entirely for cyclic fault recovery.
