Product details
Overview
VNS3NV04D from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel fully autoprotected power MOSFET in SO-8 package, integrating linear current limiting (3.5 A per channel), overvoltage clamp (40 V), and thermal shutdown (150–200 °C). It replaces standard N-channel MOSFETs in DC–50 kHz switching applications such as automotive body control modules and industrial solenoid drivers.
For engineers reviewing the VNS3NV04D datasheet, VNS3NV04D pinout, VNS3NV04D application, or VNS3NV04D equivalent, this device offers diagnostic feedback via input pin voltage drop, direct gate access for analog driving, and rugged ESD protection (4 kV HBM, 16.5 kV output pins), critical for high-reliability load-switching designs.
Technical Context
The VNS3NV04D integrates two independent OMNIFET II chips using ST's VIPower M0-3 technology, each featuring monolithic thermal sensing, linear current regulation, and bidirectional overvoltage clamping. Its internal gate driver enables TTL-compatible logic-level control with only 100–150 µA supply current from the input pin.
Protection logic operates autonomously: overtemperature shutdown triggers at 150–200 °C junction temperature and resets at ~135 °C; short-circuit detection activates within 10 µs of current limit breach; fault status is signaled by sinking up to 20 mA through the INPUT pin during thermal fault.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 120 mΩ max per channel at VIN=5 V, ID=1.5 A, Tj=25°C - ensures low conduction loss in 12 V automotive loads |
| Ilim | 3.5 A typical per channel - provides predictable current limiting without external sense resistors |
| Vclamp | 40 V typical drain-source clamp voltage - protects against inductive kickback in relay/solenoid drive |
| Tjsh | 150–200 °C overtemperature shutdown range - enables robust operation in sealed enclosures |
| IISS | 100–150 µA supply current from input pin - minimizes control-side power overhead |
| VINTH | 0.5–2.5 V input threshold voltage - supports direct TTL/CMOS logic interface without level shifting |
| Eas | 100 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - sustains unclamped inductive switching stress without failure |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 (standard 8-pin small outline, 1.27 mm pitch, 5.0 × 6.2 mm body, 1.75 mm height). Pin assignments are validated per STMicroelectronics DocID7396 Rev 4 connection diagram (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 8 | Drain 1 / Drain 2 | Power output terminals - pins 1 & 4 serve Channel 1; pins 5 & 8 serve Channel 2; internally connected to respective MOSFET drains |
| 2, 7 | Input 1 / Input 2 | Logic-level gate control inputs - sink 100–150 µA in normal operation; sink up to 20 mA during thermal fault for diagnostic signaling |
| 3, 6 | Source 1 / Source 2 | Channel return paths - electrically isolated between channels; used for current-sense reference or ground tie |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated linear current limiter | Stabilizes output current at 3.5 A regardless of load impedance or supply variation - eliminates need for external current-sense ICs |
| Overvoltage clamp + avalanche ruggedness | 40 V clamp with 100 mJ single-pulse energy rating - enables safe driving of inductive loads without external TVS diodes |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Shuts down at 150–200 °C and recovers at ~135 °C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Diagnostic feedback via input pin | Input pin voltage drops to near 0 V or sinks 10–20 mA during fault - allows host MCU to detect failure without additional sensors |
| ESD protection | 4 kV HBM on all pins, 16.5 kV on outputs only - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for industrial environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel protected high-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250 | Single-channel, integrated current sense output (analog), lower RDS(on) (80 mΩ), no input-pin diagnostic sink | Requires external fault logic; better suited for precision current-controlled motor phases | Select when analog current monitoring is required and dual-channel integration is not mandatory |
| VND5E025AK | Single-channel, higher current limit (5.5 A), SPI interface, no linear current limiting (only foldback) | Supports daisy-chained configuration and real-time register readback; lacks analog driving capability | Select for systems requiring digital configurability and multi-device synchronization over SPI |
Compared with VNS3NV04D, STSPIN250 offers finer current resolution but no dual-channel integration or diagnostic sink; VND5E025AK provides digital control and higher current rating but sacrifices analog gate access and linear limiting behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency for VNS3NV04D?
The VNS3NV04D is specified for DC to 50 kHz operation. Its typical switching times - 90 ns turn-on delay and 250 ns rise time with 220 Ω gate resistance - support efficient PWM control in solenoid and lamp dimming applications, though thermal limits constrain sustained high-frequency use above 10 kHz under full load.
Can VNS3NV04D be used as a low-side switch?
No - the VNS3NV04D is designed exclusively as a high-side switch. Its internal architecture ties the source terminals to system ground reference for each channel, and the input pin controls the gate relative to source. Low-side configuration would violate its protection circuit biasing and disable fault feedback functionality.
How does the diagnostic feedback work during thermal shutdown?
When junction temperature exceeds Tjsh (150–200 °C), the device attempts to sink 10–20 mA through the INPUT pin. If driven by a low-impedance source (e.g., MCU GPIO with <1 kΩ series resistance), this pulls the input voltage toward 0 V. If driven by high-impedance logic, the pin voltage collapses, providing a reliable fault flag without added components.
Is VNS3NV04D compliant with AEC-Q100 for automotive use?
No - VNS3NV04D is not AEC-Q100 qualified. STMicroelectronics classifies it as an industrial-grade device. Its datasheet explicitly states it is "not designed or authorized for use in automotive applications" and prohibits use in safety-critical or automotive environments per DocID7396 Rev 4 disclaimer.
