Product details
Overview
VNQ810PEP-E from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel high-side driver IC designed for automotive and industrial load control, featuring 160 mΩ RDS(on) per channel, 5 A continuous output current, 36 V operating supply voltage, and integrated open-load detection in both on- and off-states. It drives grounded loads in body electronics, lighting, and HVAC systems with loss-of-ground protection and reverse-battery immunity.
For engineers reviewing the VNQ810PEP-E datasheet, VNQ810PEP-E pinout, VNQ810PEP-E application, or VNQ810PEP-E equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior under real PCB conditions, diagnostic timing thresholds, and validated alternative parts for functional substitution in 12 V/24 V vehicle networks.
Technical Context
The device implements four independent VIPower M0-3 high-side switches with active current limiting, thermal shutdown at 150–200 °C, and automatic restart. Each channel includes CMOS-compatible inputs, open-drain status outputs, and dual-mode open-load detection-using output current monitoring during on-state and output voltage thresholding (1.5–3.5 V) during off-state.
Protection logic integrates undervoltage (4 V typ.) and overvoltage (36 V) shutdown, loss-of-ground detection via GND pin disconnection sensing, and VCC clamp for ISO 7637 transient immunity. The PowerSSO-24 package enables 66 W power dissipation per island with Rthj-case = 1.9 °C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 160 mΩ max per channel at 25°C - ensures low conduction loss and <1 W dissipation at 5 A load. |
| IOUT | 5 A continuous per channel - supports high-current solenoids, lamps, and actuators without external heatsinking. |
| VCC | 5.5–36 V operating range - compatible with 12 V and 24 V automotive battery systems including cold-crank down to 5.5 V. |
| Open-load detection | On-state: 20–80 mA threshold; Off-state: 1.5–3.5 V threshold - enables reliable fault reporting without external circuitry. |
| Thermal shutdown | 150–200 °C trip range with 135 °C reset and 7–15 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up and allows safe recovery after overload. |
| Status output | Open-drain, 0.5 V max low-level voltage at 1.6 mA - directly interfaces with 3.3 V/5 V MCU GPIOs for real-time diagnostics. |
| ISO 7637-2 | Class C compliance for pulses 1–4, Class E for pulse 5 - withstands load-dump transients up to +86.5 V for 400 ms. |
Pinout & Package
Delivered in PowerSSO-24 package (24-pin exposed-pad surface-mount), with integrated VCC-connected thermal tab for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin mapping validated per STMicroelectronics Doc ID 10872 Rev 8 Figure 2 and Table 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | 36 V max DC supply; internal clamp protects against ISO 7637 pulse 1/2/3a/3b; connects to thermal pad. |
| GND | Ground reference | Loss-of-ground detection enabled; disconnect triggers immediate channel disable and status flag assertion. |
| IN1–IN4 | Digital input control | CMOS-compatible (VIL ≤ 1.25 V, VIH ≥ 3.25 V); 0.5 V hysteresis prevents noise-induced switching. |
| OUT1–OUT4 | High-side switched output | Drives grounded loads; features Vdemag clamp (VCC − 41 V) for inductive turn-off energy suppression. |
| STATUS1–STATUS4 | Fault reporting output | Open-drain status per channel; pulled low during overtemperature, overcurrent, open-load, or UV/OV events. |
| N.C. | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet Table 2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse battery protection | Withstands −0.3 V VCC and −200 mA IGND; eliminates need for external series diode in battery-reverse scenarios. |
| Off-state open-load detection | Detects VOUT > 2.5 V (typ.) when IN = 0 - identifies broken-wire faults before activation, critical for safety-critical lighting. |
| Very low standby current | 20 µA max at 13 V VCC - meets automotive quiescent current requirements for always-on modules. |
| Active current limitation | 7.5 A typ. ILIM at 13 V with thermal foldback - limits peak fault current while enabling controlled restart after cooling. |
| Shorted-load protection | Combines current limit + thermal shutdown + status flag - prevents destruction during sustained short-circuit at VBAT. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VNQ830PEP-E | Same PowerSSO-24 package; 160 mΩ RDS(on), but rated for 5 A per channel with identical protection set. | Identical pinout and function; differs only in ordering code - direct replacement with no design change required. | Select when sourcing new production lots; VNQ830PEP-E supersedes VNQ810PEP-E in ST's active portfolio. |
| TPS4H160-Q1 | 4-channel 160 mΩ high-side driver; 40 V abs max; includes SPI diagnostics and programmable current limit (3–10 A). | Requires SPI interface and external pull-ups; offers finer diagnostic granularity but adds MCU firmware overhead. | Choose for next-gen designs needing configurable protection thresholds and fault logging via serial interface. |
Compared with VNQ810PEP-E, VNQ830PEP-E provides identical electrical and thermal performance with updated part marking, while TPS4H160-Q1 trades simplicity for programmability - making the former ideal for drop-in replacement and the latter suited for systems requiring adaptive current limiting.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VCC voltage for continuous operation?
The VNQ810PEP-E supports continuous operation up to 36 V VCC, with absolute maximum rating of 41 V. Operation above 36 V triggers overvoltage shutdown to protect internal circuitry. This rating aligns with ISO 16750-2 automotive electrical load requirements for 24 V systems.
How does off-state open-load detection work without external components?
During off-state (IN = 0), the device applies a small test current to the output and monitors resulting voltage. If VOUT exceeds 2.5 V (typ.), it indicates an open circuit (e.g., broken wire), triggering STATUS pin assertion. No external resistor or comparator is needed - the function is fully integrated and calibrated.
Can VNQ810PEP-E drive inductive loads like fuel injectors or relays?
Yes - the device includes active Vdemag clamping (VCC − 41 V) and supports demagnetization energy up to 22 mJ at 13.5 V. Its 5 A continuous rating and thermal foldback enable safe driving of automotive relays and solenoids, provided PCB copper area meets minimum 0.5 cm² per channel for thermal management.
Is the PowerSSO-24 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the VNQ810PEP-E uses ST's ECOPACK® PowerSSO-24 package, certified RoHS-compliant and lead-free per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. The package employs matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) for standard SMT assembly.
