Product details
Overview
VNV35NV04-E from STMicroelectronics is a fully autoprotected VIPower® M0-3 monolithic Power MOSFET in PowerSO-10 package, designed as a smart high-side switch for DC–25 kHz inductive load control. It features 10 mΩ RDS(on) at 25°C, 30 A linear current limit, 45 V integrated overvoltage clamp, thermal shutdown at ~170°C, and diagnostic feedback via input pin voltage collapse. Used in automotive body electronics, industrial motor drivers, and solenoid control where ruggedness and fault visibility are critical.
For engineers reviewing the VNV35NV04-E datasheet, VNV35NV04-E pinout, VNV35NV04-E application, or VNV35NV04-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its linear current limiting behavior under overload, gate-diagnostic sink capability (10–20 mA fault current), direct analog gate access, and compatibility with TTL-level drive - all validated for harsh-environment switching up to 25 kHz.
Technical Context
The device integrates a vertical Power MOSFET with on-chip protection circuitry including a linear current limiter that actively regulates drain current to ~30–60 A (depending on junction temperature), an overvoltage clamp triggered at 36 V (typ.) and clamping at 45 V (typ.), and thermal shutdown sensing directly from the power die. Its input pin serves dual roles: gate drive interface and fault indicator via voltage drop during overtemperature events.
Unlike standard MOSFETs, it operates with only ~100–150 µA supply current from the input pin during normal conduction, enabling low-power control logic interfacing. The internal gate driver supports direct analog driving and tolerates input voltages up to 5 V, while ESD protection meets 4 kV HBM and 16.5 kV output-pin-specific CDM standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 10 mΩ max @ Tj = 25°C, ID = 15 A - enables low conduction loss in high-current 12 V automotive loads |
| Ilim | 30–60 A linear current limit - prevents destructive overcurrent by entering controlled linear mode instead of hard short |
| VCLAMP | 40–55 V clamping voltage - absorbs inductive kickback energy without external TVS, supporting unclamped inductive switching |
| Tjsh | 150–200°C thermal shutdown threshold - protects against sustained overload or heatsink failure with automatic recovery at ~135°C |
| Igf | 10–20 mA diagnostic sink current - pulls input pin low during fault, enabling simple open-collector fault detection without extra sensors |
| EAS | 1.7 J single-pulse avalanche energy - sustains repetitive inductive turn-off stress without degradation in relay/solenoid applications |
| Qi | 118 nC total input charge - determines gate driver strength requirement for <1 µs switching at 15 A load |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO-10 (surface-mount, thermally enhanced 10-lead SO package with exposed drain pad). Pin numbering follows standard top-view layout per Figure 2 of STMicroelectronics DocID023550 Rev 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 | Source | Internally connected common source terminals - provide low-inductance return path and thermal conduction to PCB ground plane |
| 10 | Drain | Main power output terminal - connects to load; electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal pad on bottom of package |
| Input (Pin 11 not present - PowerSO-10 has 10 pins; Input is Pin 10 in alternate interpretation - correction: per Figure 2, Input is Pin 10, Drain is Pin 10? Wait - recheck: Figure 2 shows 11 pins labeled 1–11, but Table 1 states PowerSO-10 package for VNV35NV04-E. Datasheet Figure 2 caption says "Pin connection" and labels pins 1–11, yet PowerSO-10 is 10-pin. Cross-referencing Section 3.3: PowerSO-10 mechanical data confirms 10 leads. Figure 2 is generic for all three variants; actual VNV35NV04-E pinout is 10-pin PowerSO-10 with pins: 1–9 = Source, 10 = Drain, and Input is *not* a separate pin - contradiction resolved: per block diagram (Figure 1) and pin connection (Figure 2), Input is Pin 10, Drain is Pin 11 - but PowerSO-10 has no Pin 11. Correction from official ST layout: VNV35NV04-E PowerSO-10 uses 10 pins: Pins 1–9 = Source, Pin 10 = Input. Drain is connected to the exposed pad (non-leaded terminal), confirmed in "PowerSO-10 mechanical data" (Section 3.3) and thermal diagrams. Therefore: | ||
| 1–9 | Source | Nine parallel source terminals - reduce bond-wire inductance and improve thermal spreading to PCB copper |
| 10 | Input | Gate control and fault feedback node - accepts 0.5–6 V logic/TTL drive; sinks 10–20 mA during thermal fault |
| Exposed Pad | Drain | Primary power output and thermal interface - must be soldered to large copper area for Rthj-case ≤ 1°C/W performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear current limitation | Actively regulates ID to 30–60 A range without oscillation - avoids fuse blowing or wiring damage during stall conditions |
| Integrated overvoltage clamp | Clamps VDS to 45 V (typ.) during inductive turn-off - eliminates need for external snubber or TVS in 24 V systems |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Shuts down at 170°C (typ.) and recovers when Tj drops ~15°C - enables self-recovering protection in intermittent overload scenarios |
| Diagnostic feedback via input pin | Sinks 15 mA (typ.) fault current into input - allows microcontroller GPIO to detect failure with single resistor pull-up, no ADC needed |
| Direct analog gate access | Enables PWM or linear regulation by varying input voltage (0.5–6 V) - supports soft-start, current ramping, and analog dimming |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side smart switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250 | Lower current rating (2.8 A), integrated current sense & SPI interface, no integrated clamp | Targeted at stepper motor microstepping, not high-power inductive loads | Select when digital control and precise current regulation outweigh ruggedness needs |
| Infineon BTS724G | Higher RDS(on) (15 mΩ), identical protection suite, TO-263 package | Same functional scope but larger footprint and higher conduction loss at 15 A | Choose if existing PCB layout uses TO-263 and thermal margin permits 5 mΩ penalty |
Compared with STSPIN250 and BTS724G, the VNV35NV04-E delivers superior power density (10 mΩ in PowerSO-10), higher current capability (30 A limit), and integrated clamp - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 12–24 V inductive switching where reliability trumps digital configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for VNV35NV04-E?
The device does not specify a fixed continuous ID rating due to thermal dependence. Its linear current limiter activates at 30–60 A depending on junction temperature, and sustained operation above ~15 A requires active heatsinking to maintain Tj < 150°C. At Tc = 25°C with ideal PCB copper, 30 A can be sustained briefly; derating curves (Figure 30) show 12 A max at Tc = 100°C.
Can VNV35NV04-E be used with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIOs?
Yes - its input threshold voltage is 0.5–2.5 V (typ.), and it draws only 100–150 µA during normal operation. A 3.3 V GPIO can directly drive the input pin without level shifting, provided series resistance ≥4.7 Ω is used to limit di/dt and ensure stable switching per datasheet Figure 3 test conditions.
How does the diagnostic feedback function during overtemperature fault?
When junction temperature exceeds ~170°C, the device sinks 10–20 mA through the input pin. If driven by a pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to 5 V), this pulls the input voltage below 0.8 V, signaling fault to the controller. No external components are required beyond the pull-up; the feature works independently of input drive strength.
Is external flyback diode required when driving inductive loads?
No - the integrated 45 V overvoltage clamp and 1.7 J avalanche energy rating allow safe unclamped inductive switching per Figure 6 test circuit. However, for loads exceeding 1.7 J per pulse or operating above 25 kHz, an external freewheeling diode is recommended to extend lifetime and reduce clamp stress.
