Revolutionizing Power Management with STMicroelectronics VN5016AJTR-E
STMicroelectronics continues to lead the semiconductor industry with its innovative VIPower™ technology, exemplified by the VN5016AJTR-E power driver IC. This advanced component represents a perfect blend of high-performance engineering and robust protection features, designed specifically for demanding automotive and industrial applications. As a high-side N-channel driver, this device offers exceptional efficiency while maintaining operational reliability in extreme environments.
Key Technical Advantages
Operating within an impressive 4.5V to 36V voltage range, the VN5016AJTR-E demonstrates remarkable versatility for various power systems. Its PowerSSO-12™ package houses a sophisticated architecture that delivers up to 46A output current with minimal power loss, thanks to its ultra-low 16mΩ (max) Rds(on) specification. Unlike conventional power drivers requiring separate voltage supplies, this device operates without needing additional Vcc/Vdd connections, simplifying circuit design while maintaining exceptional performance.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Maximum Output Current | 46A |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 150°C |
| Protection Features | Current Limiting, Over Temperature, Over Voltage |
Comprehensive Protection System
This power driver incorporates STMicroelectronics' proprietary protection mechanisms, including automatic restart functionality and fault detection systems. The integrated current limiting (fixed) feature, over-temperature protection, and over-voltage safeguards create a comprehensive defense against common operational hazards. These built-in protections not only enhance system reliability but also significantly reduce the need for external protective components, streamlining overall design complexity.
Engineered for modern surface-mount applications, the PowerSSO-12 package combines high thermal efficiency with space-saving dimensions. This makes the VN5016AJTR-E particularly suitable for automotive systems, industrial automation equipment, and any application requiring reliable power switching in harsh environments. The non-inverting input configuration and on/off interface further simplify integration with standard control circuits.
Design Flexibility and Reliability
The device's 1:1 input/output ratio and general-purpose switch configuration enable seamless integration across diverse applications. Its ability to operate across a wide temperature range (-40°C to 150°C) ensures consistent performance in extreme conditions, making it ideal for engine control units, electric vehicle systems, and industrial motor controls. The absence of required supply voltage decoupling capacitors reduces BOM complexity while maintaining stable operation.
As part of the VIPower™ family, the VN5016AJTR-E exemplifies STMicroelectronics' commitment to power management innovation. The tape & reel packaging format supports automated manufacturing processes, while the active product status ensures long-term supply availability for production environments. This power driver sets a new standard for high-side switching applications, combining exceptional electrical performance with robust thermal management in a compact surface-mount package.
