STMicroelectronics VNV35N07TR-E

Overview

VNV35N07TR-E from STMicroelectronics is a fully autoprotected monolithic power MOSFET built on VIPower M0 technology, functioning as a smart high-side switch with integrated overvoltage clamp (70 V), linear current limiting (35 A), thermal shutdown (150 °C), and diagnostic feedback via the input pin. It replaces standard MOSFETs in DC–50 kHz inductive load switching applications such as automotive body control modules and industrial solenoid drivers.

For engineers reviewing the VNV35N07TR-E datasheet, VNV35N07TR-E pinout, VNV35N07TR-E application, or VNV35N07TR-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.028 Ω R_DS(on) at 10 V_IN, fault-sensing capability through input-pin voltage collapse, rugged unclamped inductive switching performance (2.5 J single-pulse avalanche energy), and compatibility with TTL-level drive.

Technical Context

This device integrates gate driver, protection logic, and power MOSFET in a single die. Its linear current limiter activates independently of input voltage and holds drain current at 25–45 A depending on V_IN, while internal clamp limits V_DS to 60–80 V during inductive turn-off transients.

Fault detection relies on disconnecting the input pin from the gate and pulling it to ground via ~100 Ω during overtemperature or short-circuit events. The device supports direct analog gate driving and draws only 250–500 µA quiescent current from the input pin under normal operation.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for VNV35N07TR-E?

The device delivers 35 A continuous drain current when mounted on a PCB with adequate copper area (R_thj-amb ≤ 50 °C/W). At 25 °C case temperature, total power dissipation is limited to 125 W in PowerSO-10 package. Derating applies above 25 °C per the 1 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.

How does fault detection work on the INPUT pin?

During overtemperature or short-circuit events, the internal protection circuit disconnects the INPUT pin from the gate and connects it to ground through an ~100 Ω resistor. This pulls the pin voltage to near 0 V, providing a clear, low-impedance digital fault signal readable by any microcontroller GPIO without external components.

Can VNV35N07TR-E drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?

Yes-the integrated 70 V overvoltage clamp and 2.5 J single-pulse avalanche energy rating allow safe unclamped inductive switching in typical 24 V systems. However, for repetitive high-energy loads (e.g., >1000 cycles/hour), a parallel TVS or RC snubber is recommended to extend lifetime.

Is VNV35N07TR-E pin-compatible with VNB35N07 or VNP35N07FI?

No-VNV35N07TR-E uses PowerSO-10 package with INPUT on pins 6–10, SOURCE on pins 1,2,4,5, and DRAIN on the exposed tab. VNB35N07 uses D2PAK (TO-263) and VNP35N07FI uses ISOWATT220; all share identical electrical specs but differ mechanically and thermally.
