VND7020AJTR High-Side N-Channel Power Driver IC | STM VIPower™ Series

Next-Generation Power Management with VND7020AJTR High-Side Driver

In modern power electronics systems, achieving reliable performance while maintaining compact design remains a critical challenge. STMicroelectronics' VND7020AJTR high-side N-channel power driver IC emerges as a groundbreaking solution within the VIPower™ series, combining advanced protection features with exceptional switching efficiency. This 16-PowerSSO device redefines automotive and industrial power management through its intelligent architecture and robust thermal design.

Advanced Technical Specifications

At the core of this device lies a 22mΩ Rds(on) MOSFET structure that enables 45A maximum output current while minimizing power losses. Operating within 4V-28V load voltage range, the VND7020AJTR demonstrates exceptional versatility across automotive systems, motor controls, and industrial automation equipment. Its non-inverting input configuration simplifies integration with standard microcontroller interfaces while maintaining galvanic isolation between input and output circuits.

Comprehensive Protection Architecture

Engineered for mission-critical applications, this device integrates multiple protection mechanisms including current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and open-load detection. The built-in status flag provides real-time fault diagnostics, while the auto-restart feature ensures system recovery without manual intervention. These features collectively reduce external component requirements by up to 40% compared to discrete solutions.

Industrial and Automotive Applications

The VND7020AJTR excels in demanding environments where reliability is paramount. Its surface-mount PowerSSO-16 package enables seamless integration in automotive body control modules, electric vehicle power systems, and industrial motor drives. The device's 3.90mm width footprint allows dense PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance through optimized power dissipation channels.

Design Advantages

Compared to traditional discrete implementations, this VIPower™ series IC offers significant advantages: reduced board space by 60%, lower BOM costs through integrated protection, and simplified thermal management. The 1:1 input-output ratio maintains signal integrity while enabling direct microcontroller interfacing, eliminating the need for level-shifting circuits in 3.3V/5V systems.
