Product details
Overview
VNQ830TR-E from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel high-side driver IC fabricated in VIPower M0-3 technology, designed for automotive and industrial load switching where one side of each load connects to ground. It delivers 6 A per channel, features 60 mΩ on-state resistance at 2 A/25°C, supports 36 V DC supply, and integrates open-load detection (on/off state), short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown with automatic restart, and reverse-battery protection. It is used in body control modules to drive solenoids, lamps, and valves.
For engineers reviewing the VNQ830TR-E datasheet, VNQ830TR-E pinout, VNQ830TR-E application, or VNQ830TR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel current limiting (6–15 A), dual-island SO-28 thermal performance, CMOS-compatible inputs with 0.5 V hysteresis, open-drain status outputs with 0.5 V low-level voltage, and ISO 7637-2 transient immunity up to Pulse 5a (−7 V, 100 ms).
Technical Context
The VNQ830TR-E integrates two independent VND830-E dies in a single SO-28 double-island package, enabling four fully isolated high-side switch channels with shared thermal domains per island. Each channel includes dedicated overtemperature sensing (trip at 150–200°C), undervoltage lockout (4 V typ.), overvoltage shutdown (36 V), and loss-of-ground detection via internal ground pin monitoring.
It implements active current limiting with fast response (20 µs status delay under overload), open-load diagnostics using external pull-up for off-state detection (VOL threshold 1.5–3.5 V), and output clamping during demagnetization (VCC − 55 V typ.). The device complies with ISO 7637-2 Class C immunity across all five test pulses, including load dump (Pulse 5a) and battery reversal transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 5.5 V to 36 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (5.5 V) and load dump (36 V) |
| RDS(on) | 60 mΩ max at IOUT = 2 A, Tj = 25°C - enables low conduction loss for 6 A continuous loads |
| IOUT Continuous | 6 A per channel - rated for sustained solenoid or lamp driving without external heatsink under defined PCB copper area |
| Open-Load Detection | On-state: 50–200 mA threshold; Off-state: VOL > 1.5 V with external pull-up - enables fault reporting before actuation or during standby |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C trip, 135°C reset, 7–15°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up and enables safe auto-recovery after overload |
| Status Output | Open-drain, VSTAT(L) ≤ 0.5 V @ 1.6 mA - compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller inputs without level-shifting |
| ISO 7637-2 Immunity | Class C for Pulses 1–5 - survives automotive transients including −100 V (Pulse 1), +100 V (Pulse 2), and −7 V (Pulse 4) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-28 Double Island (16-pin per island, physically separated thermal domains). Dimensions per JEDEC MS-012: 18.1 mm × 10.65 mm × 2.65 mm height, 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14, 15, 28 | VCC1,2 / VCC3,4 | Power supply pins for Island 1 (pins 1,14) and Island 2 (pins 15,28); each pair must be decoupled locally |
| 2–5, 16–19 | INPUT1–4 | CMOS-compatible digital inputs; 1.25 V low, 3.25 V high, 0.5 V hysteresis - immune to noise in harsh environments |
| 6–9, 20–23 | OUTPUT1–4 | High-side switched outputs; internally limited to 6 A, clamp to VCC − 55 V during inductive turn-off |
| 10–13, 24–27 | STATUS1–4 | Open-drain diagnostic outputs; pulled low during overload, open-load, overtemp, or UV/OV - requires external pull-up |
| 11, 12, 25, 26 | GND1,2 / GND3,4 | Island-specific ground returns; separate GND paths prevent crosstalk and support ground-loss detection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel open-load detection in ON/OFF states | Enables pre-actuation diagnostics and standby monitoring without external circuitry beyond pull-up resistor |
| Reverse battery protection | Withstands −0.3 V VCC and supports external ground-protection networks (resistor or diode) to block −100 V reverse transients |
| Dual-island SO-28 thermal architecture | Allows independent thermal management per two-channel island; Rthj-amb = 31 °C/W (both islands ON, 6 cm² Cu) |
| Integrated VCC clamp and active current limiting | Clamps transients to safe levels and limits peak current to 6–15 A depending on temperature - eliminates need for external fuses |
| Loss-of-ground detection | Shuts down all channels if GND pin disconnects - prevents uncontrolled load activation in wiring fault conditions |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel?
The VNQ830TR-E supports 6 A continuous output current per channel under specified thermal conditions: Tlead = 25°C, 6 cm² PCB copper per island. Derating applies above 25°C ambient; at 100°C ambient, max continuous current drops to ~3.5 A per channel based on Rthj-amb = 31 °C/W and Tj limit of 150°C.
How does off-state open-load detection work?
Off-state open-load detection requires an external pull-up resistor between OUTPUT and a positive supply (e.g., +5 V). When the load is disconnected, OUTPUT floats high; the device detects VOUT > 1.5 V (min) and pulls STATUS low. With load connected, VOUT stays below 1.5 V due to load current, keeping STATUS high - enabling unambiguous fault reporting during standby.
Can VNQ830TR-E drive inductive loads like solenoids?
Yes - the VNQ830TR-E includes active demagnetization clamping (VCC − 55 V typ.) and current limiting to safely handle inductive kickback. For L = 2.5 mH and VBAT = 13.5 V, maximum safe turn-off current is 9 A (single pulse, Tj,start = 150°C). External flyback diodes are not required, but layout must minimize parasitic inductance in VCC and GND paths.
Is reverse-battery protection built-in or external?
Reverse-battery protection is implemented externally using either a series resistor (RGND) or diode (DGND) in the ground path, as specified in ST's application schematic (page 10). The VNQ830TR-E itself withstands −0.3 V on VCC and monitors ground integrity, but full −100 V reverse protection requires the recommended external network to avoid damage to downstream logic.
