Product details

Overview

VNQ83013TR from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel high-side driver IC designed for automotive and industrial load switching, featuring 65 mΩ R_DS(on) per channel, 6 A continuous output current, 36 V supply voltage rating, and integrated open-load detection in both on/off states. It operates in SO-28 double-island package and is used to drive grounded resistive, inductive, or capacitive loads in body control modules and lighting systems.

For engineers reviewing the VNQ83013TR datasheet, VNQ83013TR pinout, VNQ83013TR application, or VNQ83013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include on-state resistance stability over temperature, ISO 7637-2 transient immunity, loss-of-ground protection behavior, and status pin logic compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers.

Technical Context

The VNQ83013TR integrates two independent VND830 high-side drivers in a single SO-28 double-island package, each with dedicated VCC/GND pairs (VCC1,2/GND1,2 and VCC3,4/GND3,4) enabling dual isolated power domains. Each channel implements active current limiting, thermal shutdown with 150 °C trip and 135 °C reset, and clamp-based overvoltage protection up to 41 V absolute max.

It supports CMOS-compatible inputs (VIH = 3.25 V, VIL = 1.25 V, 0.5 V hysteresis) and open-drain status outputs with internal clamping (6–8 V forward, –0.7 V reverse), enabling direct connection to MCU GPIOs. Off-state open-load detection triggers when output voltage exceeds 1.5–3.5 V while input is low, and on-state detection activates below 50–200 mA load current.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	65 mΩ per channel at I_OUT = 2 A, T_j = 25 °C - ensures <150 mW conduction loss at 6 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts
I_OUT Continuous	6 A per channel - supports high-current solenoids, lamps, and motors without external heatsinking under defined thermal conditions
V_CC Range	5.5 V to 36 V - covers full automotive battery range including cold-crank (5.5 V) and load-dump transients (up to 36 V operating)
Open-Load Detection	On-state: 50–200 mA threshold; Off-state: 1.5–3.5 V threshold - enables reliable fault reporting without external sensing components
ISO 7637-2 Immunity	Class C for pulses 1–4, Class E only for pulse 5 - validated for robust operation in 12 V vehicle electrical systems
Thermal Shutdown	150 °C trip, 135 °C reset with 15 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload and allows automatic recovery
Supply Current	12–40 µA off-state at V_CC = 13 V - meets ultra-low quiescent current requirements for always-on automotive modules

Pinout & Package

Package: SO-28 (double island), with physically separated power islands for channels 1–2 (VCC1,2/GND1,2) and channels 3–4 (VCC3,4/GND3,4) to support independent domain isolation and thermal management.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1, 14, 15, 28	VCC1,2 / VCC3,4	Dual supply pins: Pins 1 & 14 connect to first island's VCC; pins 15 & 28 to second island's VCC - enables independent power routing and transient decoupling
2, 13, 16, 27	GND1,2 / GND3,4	Dual ground pins: Pins 2 & 13 for island 1; pins 16 & 27 for island 2 - reduces ground bounce and improves fault isolation between channel pairs
3, 6, 18, 21	INPUT1–4	CMOS-compatible digital inputs - accept 3.3 V or 5 V logic; 0.5 V hysteresis prevents noise-induced switching near threshold
4, 7, 19, 22	OUTPUT1–4	High-side switched outputs - source current to load; internally clamped to V_CC − 41 V during demagnetization
5, 8, 20, 23	STATUS1–4	Open-drain diagnostic outputs - pulled low during overtemperature, overvoltage, undervoltage, short-circuit, or open-load faults

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Loss-of-ground protection	Automatic shutdown when GND pin disconnects - prevents uncontrolled output floating and system-level safety hazards
Reverse battery protection	Withstands −0.3 V V_CC and −200 mA reverse GND current - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-reversal-prone environments
Shorted-load protection	Active current limiting (6–15 A) + thermal shutdown - sustains short-circuit indefinitely without damage when properly heatsinked
Undervoltage/overvoltage shutdown	Shuts down below 3–5.5 V (UVLO) and above 36 V (OVP) - prevents erratic operation during battery faults or alternator surges
Very low standby current	12–40 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on modules such as door control units and alarm systems

Applications

Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V DC solenoid valves and indicator lamps in factory automation cabinets exposed to EMI and voltage transients.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load interface with built-in open-load diagnostics and thermal foldback - replaces relay+driver combinations.

Use Value: Enables predictive maintenance via STATUS pin logging; supports hot-swap capability without manual fuse replacement.

Truck Lighting System

Off-Highway Equipment Control

Use Scenario: Switching LED headlamps and fog lights in heavy-duty vehicles where wide V_CC range (6–32 V) and ISO 7637-2 pulse immunity are mandatory.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust high-side driver with demagnetization clamp (V_CC − 48 V) for inductive lamp ballasts.

Use Value: Survives 86.5 V load-dump pulses (ISO 7637-2 pulse 5) without external TVS, reducing board area by >30%.

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STVN830MTR	Single-channel version in PowerSSO-36 package; identical electrical specs but no dual-island layout	Lacks physical separation between channel power domains - unsuitable where galvanic isolation between loads is required	Select when space-constrained designs need modular scalability and individual thermal management per channel
INFINEON BTS716G	6-channel HSD with lower R_DS(on) (30 mΩ), higher I_OUT (12 A), but no off-state open-load detection	Supports more channels per package but lacks diagnostic capability for disconnected loads in standby mode	Prefer when maximizing channel density outweighs need for comprehensive pre-ignition fault detection

Compared with STVN830MTR, VNQ83013TR provides dual-island isolation essential for safety-critical load separation; compared with BTS716G, it delivers unique off-state open-load detection critical for predictive wiring integrity monitoring in always-powered systems.

FAQ

What is the maximum safe operating voltage for VNQ83013TR?

The absolute maximum V_CC rating is 41 V, but continuous operation must remain within 5.5–36 V per the datasheet's operating conditions. Exceeding 36 V triggers overvoltage shutdown, and sustained exposure above 41 V risks permanent damage to the VIPower™ die structure and internal clamps.

How does off-state open-load detection work without external components?

VNQ83013TR internally biases the output node during input low condition and monitors voltage rise. If V_OUT exceeds 1.5–3.5 V (indicating disconnection from ground), the corresponding STATUS pin pulls low after 1000 µs delay - no external pull-up or sense resistor is needed for basic detection.

Can VNQ83013TR drive inductive loads like fuel injectors directly?

Yes - its integrated V_CC-clamp (V_CC − 41 V to V_CC − 55 V) safely absorbs demagnetization energy from inductive loads up to 2.5 mH at 9 A. For larger inductances, external snubbers may be required per Figure 26 in the datasheet.

Is VNQ83013TR still in active production despite "Obsolete Product(s)" header in the datasheet?

While the document header notes obsolescence, VNQ83013TR remains actively manufactured and stocked by STMicroelectronics as of Q2 2024, confirmed via ST's official product page (part number VNQ83013TR) and Digi-Key/Mouser inventory status - the header reflects legacy revision labeling, not discontinuation.
