Product details
Overview
VNQ830MTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel high-side driver IC designed for automotive and industrial load switching applications, featuring 60 mΩ RDS(on) per channel, 6 A continuous output current, 36 V supply voltage rating, and integrated open-load detection in both on/off states. It drives grounded loads such as solenoids, relays, and incandescent lamps in body control modules and power distribution units.
For engineers reviewing the VNQ830MTR-E datasheet, VNQ830MTR-E pinout, VNQ830MTR-E application, or VNQ830MTR-E equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-island SO-28 thermal architecture, ISO 7637-2 transient immunity (Pulse 1–5), reverse battery protection, and status pin diagnostics with programmable external pull-up for off-state open-load detection.
Technical Context
The VNQ830MTR-E integrates two independent VND830M-E VIPower M0-3 monolithic chips in a single SO-28 "double island" package, enabling thermally isolated operation of two dual-channel islands. Each channel implements active current limiting, thermal shutdown with 150°C trip and 135°C reset, and dedicated status output with open-drain logic.
It supports CMOS-compatible inputs (VIH = 3.25 V, VIL = 1.25 V), detects undervoltage (VUSD = 4 V typ.) and overvoltage (VOV = 36 V) conditions, and provides loss-of-ground protection via internal ground pin monitoring. The device complies with ISO 7637-1 transient immunity up to Pulse 5 (+86.5 V, 400 ms).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 60 mΩ max at IOUT = 2 A, Tj = 25°C - enables low conduction loss for 12 V automotive loads up to 6 A |
| IOUT Continuous | 6 A per channel - supports driving high-current solenoids and heated mirrors without external heatsinking under defined PCB copper area |
| VCC Range | 5.5 V to 36 V - covers full automotive battery range including cold-crank (5.5 V) and load-dump (36 V) |
| Open-Load Detection | 0.9 A threshold in ON state; 2.5 V threshold in OFF state - reliably identifies 5 W/12 V bulb failure and disconnected loads |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C trip, 135°C reset with 15°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or short-circuit events |
| ISO 7637-1 Immunity | Pulse 1 (−100 V), Pulse 2 (+100 V), Pulse 3b (+100 V), Pulse 4 (−7 V), Pulse 5 (+86.5 V) - meets OEM EMC requirements without external clamping |
| Standby Current | 12 µA max at VCC = 13 V - minimizes battery drain in always-on vehicle modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-28 "Double Island" (two electrically and thermally isolated islands, each containing two channels), 35 µm Cu, 2 mm PCB thickness, 58 mm × 58 mm board area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14, 15, 28 | VCC1,2 / VCC3,4 | Power supply pins for Island 1 (Ch1–Ch2) and Island 2 (Ch3–Ch4); each pair must be decoupled locally |
| 2, 3, 16, 17 | GND1,2 / GND3,4 | Island-specific ground returns; separate routing prevents cross-talk and ensures accurate open-load sensing |
| 4, 6, 19, 21 | INPUT1–INPUT4 | CMOS-compatible digital inputs; 1.25 V low / 3.25 V high thresholds with 0.5 V hysteresis for noise immunity |
| 5, 7, 20, 22 | OUTPUT1–OUTPUT4 | High-side switched outputs; internally clamped to VCC − 48 V during demagnetization of inductive loads |
| 8, 9, 23, 24 | STATUS1–STATUS4 | Open-drain diagnostic outputs; pulled high externally to indicate normal operation or fault (e.g., open load, overtemp) |
| 10–13, 25–27 | N.C. | No-connect pins; must remain unconnected per datasheet Figure 3 - floating or grounded causes undefined behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel high-side drive with dual-island isolation | Enables independent thermal management and fault containment: failure in Channel 1 does not affect Channel 3 |
| On/off state open-load detection | Detects 5 W/12 V bulb disconnect in ON state (0.9 A threshold) and floating load in OFF state (2.5 V threshold with external pull-up) |
| Reverse battery protection | Withstands −13.5 V reverse supply without external diode; internal clamp limits reverse current to safe levels |
| Integrated ISO 7637-1 transient protection | Eliminates need for external TVS on VCC for Pulses 1–5 - reduces BOM count and PCB area in body electronics |
| Status pin diagnostics with configurable timing | Programmable delay (tDOL(off) = 1000 µs) and voltage thresholds allow robust fault discrimination in noisy automotive environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN840TR | Single-chip quad HSD with integrated SPI interface; 120 mΩ RDS(on); no dual-island thermal separation | Lacks analog status pins; requires MCU firmware for diagnostics instead of direct GPIO monitoring | Choose when digital control and daisy-chain configuration outweigh need for analog fault reporting |
| BTS724G | Quad HSD in PG-DSO-28; 100 mΩ RDS(on); no reverse battery protection; requires external VCC TVS for Pulse 5 | Higher conduction loss increases thermal stress on PCB; lacks integrated reverse-battery clamp | Choose only if cost sensitivity dominates and external protection can be added without compromising layout space |
Compared with STSPIN840TR and BTS724G, the VNQ830MTR-E uniquely delivers dual-island thermal isolation, reverse-battery tolerance, and analog status outputs - making it optimal for safety-critical automotive body electronics where fault containment and analog diagnostic simplicity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel?
The VNQ830MTR-E supports 6 A continuous output current per channel under specified thermal conditions: SO-28 package mounted on FR-4 with 6 cm² copper per island, horizontal orientation, no forced airflow. Derating applies above 25°C ambient - see Figure 19 for RDS(on) vs. Tcase and Figure 19 for ILIM vs. Tcase.
How does off-state open-load detection work, and what external components are required?
Off-state open-load detection requires an external pull-up resistor (RPU) between OUTPUT and a positive supply (e.g., +5 V). When the load is disconnected, leakage current (IL(off2) ≤ 0 µA) pulls OUTPUT above 2.5 V, triggering STATUS low. RPU must satisfy: RPU < (VPU − 3.5 V)/|IL(off2)| and VPU·RL/(RL + RPU) < 1.2 V to avoid false detection with load connected.
Does the VNQ830MTR-E require external TVS diodes for ISO 7637-1 compliance?
No external TVS is required for ISO 7637-1 Pulse 1 through Pulse 5 compliance. The device integrates active VCC clamping that limits transient energy absorption, achieving Class C performance (full functionality retained) for all pulses per Table 13. External clamping is only needed if system-level testing exceeds Pulse 5 severity or if additional margin is mandated by specific OEM standards.
Can unused INPUT and STATUS pins be left floating?
No. Unused INPUT and STATUS pins must remain unconnected - neither tied to VCC, GND, nor pulled - as stated in Figure 3 and page 3 of the datasheet. Floating these pins is explicitly permitted and recommended; connecting them risks unintended activation, incorrect status reporting, or violation of absolute maximum ratings due to internal clamp structures.
