Product details
Overview
VNQ810M-E from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel high-side driver IC built using VIPower M0-3 technology, designed for automotive and industrial load switching where one side of the load connects to ground. It integrates two VND810M-E dies in a single SO-28 double-island package, delivers 0.6A per channel, features 150mΩ RDS(on), supports 36V VCC, and provides on/off-state open-load detection - used in body control modules for lamp and solenoid driving.
For engineers reviewing the VNQ810M-E datasheet, VNQ810M-E pinout, VNQ810M-E application, or VNQ810M-E equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel current limiting (0.9A typ), thermal shutdown with 150°C trip point, reverse battery protection, ISO 7637-2 transient immunity, and status pin diagnostics for fault reporting in safety-critical 12V/24V systems.
Technical Context
The VNQ810M-E implements four independent high-side switches with CMOS-compatible inputs, open-drain status outputs, and dual-island thermal architecture enabling simultaneous operation of two channels per island. Each channel includes active current limiting, overtemperature shutdown with 15°C hysteresis, and undervoltage (4V typ) / overvoltage (36V) protection.
It supports open-load detection in both ON (20–80mA threshold) and OFF states (VOL = 1.5–3.5V), detects output short-to-VCC during OFF, and incorporates VCC clamping for ISO 7637 pulse immunity. The device shuts down upon loss of ground connection and features <12µA standby current at 13V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 5.5V to 36V DC - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| RDS(on) | 150mΩ max @ 0.5A, 25°C - enables efficient 0.6A continuous switching with ≤450mW conduction loss per channel. |
| IOUT Limit | 0.7–1.4A - programmable current limit detects 21W/12V bulb as overload while avoiding nuisance trips. |
| TJ Shutdown | 150°C trip, 135°C reset - thermal protection prevents latch-up during sustained overload or short-circuit events. |
| Status Output | Open-drain, 0.5V max @ 1.6mA - directly interfaces with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers for real-time fault reporting. |
| ISO 7637-2 Immunity | Pulse 1–5 compliant - withstands -100V/100ms (pulse 4), +86.5V/400ms (pulse 5), and 100V fast transients without functional interruption. |
| Reverse Battery | Withstands -0.3V VCC; protected via external RGND resistor or DGND diode network per application schematic. |
Pinout & Package
SO-28 package with double-island layout: two electrically isolated thermal islands (pins 1–14 and 15–28), each housing two high-side drivers with dedicated VCC/GND pairs. Enables independent thermal management and fault containment between channel pairs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14, 15, 28 | VCC1,2 / VCC3,4 | Supply pins for Island 1 (Ch1–2) and Island 2 (Ch3–4); each pair must be decoupled locally. |
| 2, 3, 16, 17 | GND1,2 / GND3,4 | Isolated ground returns per island - critical for accurate current sensing and fault isolation. |
| 4, 6, 18, 20 | INPUT1–4 | CMOS-compatible digital inputs (VIH=3.25V, VIL=1.25V); tolerate ±1mA clamp current. |
| 5, 7, 19, 21 | OUTPUT1–4 | High-side switched outputs; drive grounded loads; support demagnetization clamping (Vdemag = VCC−41V). |
| 8, 9, 22, 23 | STATUS1–4 | Open-drain diagnostic outputs - low = normal, high-impedance = fault (overload, open-load, overtemp). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel open-load detection in ON/OFF states | Enables pre-emptive fault identification before power-on and during sleep - eliminates need for external sense resistors. |
| Integrated VCC clamp and transient protection | Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1–5 without external TVS - reduces BOM count and PCB area in automotive ECUs. |
| Dual-island SO-28 thermal architecture | Allows independent thermal derating per island; supports 6.25W/ch power dissipation with 0.5cm² copper. |
| Loss-of-ground detection | Automatic shutdown if GND1,2 or GND3,4 disconnects - prevents uncontrolled load activation and system-level hazards. |
| Reverse battery protection support | Compatible with external RGND resistor or DGND diode networks - enables robust 12V/24V system survivability. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC Output Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN840 | Single-channel, 1.5A rated, SPI-controlled; no integrated open-load detection in OFF state. | Requires external status logic and MCU firmware overhead for diagnostics - unsuitable for passive fault monitoring. | Choose when precise current profiling and daisy-chain configuration are required over hardware-level diagnostics. |
| TPS27082L | Quad-channel, 0.7A, 36V, but lacks reverse-battery protection and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5 compliance. | No integrated loss-of-ground detection or VCC clamping - demands additional protection circuitry for automotive use. | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial applications where transient immunity is less stringent. |
Compared with VNQ810M-E, STSPIN840 trades hardware diagnostics for programmability and higher current, while TPS27082L reduces integration depth to lower cost - neither matches the VNQ810M-E's combined fault coverage (open-load ON/OFF, loss-of-ground, reverse battery, ISO 7637) in a single quad-channel package.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel?
The VNQ810M-E supports 0.6A continuous DC output current per channel under typical conditions (Tj ≤ 125°C, 13V VCC). Its current-limit threshold is 0.9A (typ), set to reliably detect 21W/12V incandescent bulbs as overloads while maintaining safe SOA during transient surges.
How does open-load detection work in the OFF state?
In OFF state, open-load detection requires an external pull-up resistor (RPU) between OUTPUT and VPU (e.g., +5V). When disconnected, VOUT rises above 1.5–3.5V (VOL threshold), triggering STATUS high-impedance. With load connected, VOUT stays below this threshold due to leakage current (≤50µA), ensuring reliable discrimination.
Can VNQ810M-E drive inductive loads like solenoids?
Yes - it includes active demagnetization clamping (Vdemag = VCC−41V to VCC−55V) and supports up to 174mJ switching energy (L = 310mH, Vbat = 13.5V). Thermal derating is required: with 6cm² copper per island, two channels can operate continuously at 0.6A without exceeding 150°C junction temperature.
Is VNQ810M-E still in active production?
No - STMicroelectronics has marked VNQ810M-E as obsolete (as noted in Table 2 and revision history). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers engineering support for migration paths to functionally aligned successors such as VNQ7E050AJ or VNQ860ESPTR-E where applicable.
