STMicroelectronics VND3NV04TR-E: High-Performance N-Channel Power Driver IC with VIPower Technology
The STMicroelectronics VND3NV04TR-E is an advanced N-channel power driver IC designed for high-current switching applications. As part of the OMNIFET II™ and VIPower™ families, this device combines robust power handling capabilities with integrated protection features, making it ideal for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics systems requiring reliable and efficient power management.
Technical Specifications and Key Features
Housed in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface-mount package, the VND3NV04TR-E delivers a maximum output current of 3.5A with a low on-state resistance (Rds(on)) of 120mΩ (max). Operating with a 1:1 input-to-output ratio, this low-side N-channel driver supports load voltages up to 36V while eliminating the need for a dedicated Vcc supply. Its non-inverting interface and on/off control simplify integration into microcontroller-based systems.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Max Load Voltage | 36V |
| Output Current | 3.5A |
| Rds(on) | 120mΩ (Max) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 150°C |
Comprehensive Protection System
This power driver IC incorporates multiple built-in safeguards including fixed current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage protection. These features ensure system reliability in demanding environments while preventing damage from electrical faults. The thermal protection mechanism automatically reduces power dissipation during overheating conditions, maintaining safe operation even under transient load scenarios.
Engineered for industrial and automotive applications, the VND3NV04TR-E meets stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. Its DPAK package provides excellent thermal dissipation through the exposed tab, enabling high power density designs in compact form factors. The device's surface-mount configuration supports automated assembly processes while maintaining mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments.
Design Advantages
Compared to discrete MOSFET solutions, this integrated power driver reduces component count and board space requirements. The combination of power transistor, gate driver, and protection circuits in a single package simplifies design complexity while improving system reliability. Developers benefit from reduced development time and lower production costs compared to implementing discrete protection components.
Typical applications include motor control systems, solenoid drivers, LED lighting systems, industrial automation equipment, and automotive subsystems such as window lifters and HVAC controls. The device's wide operating temperature range and automotive-qualified construction make it particularly suited for under-the-hood automotive electronics.
As part of STMicroelectronics' VIPower portfolio, the VND3NV04TR-E represents the second generation of smart power technology. This evolution builds upon proven process technology while enhancing thermal performance and fault detection accuracy. Designers can create more robust and compact power systems while maintaining compliance with international safety standards.
