VN820SPTR-E

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The VN820SPTR-E is a monolithic high-side driver from STMicroelectronics, built on VIPower M0-3 technology. It features a single N-channel output with a maximum current of 9A and an on-state resistance of 40 milliohms (maximum). The device operates within a load voltage range of 5.5V to 36V and supports a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. Packaged in a 10-PowerSO with an exposed bottom pad, it includes active VCC clamping for transient protection.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Feature Summary

• Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects against low energy spikes
• Automatic restart following thermal shutdown prevents overload damage
• Open-load detection available in both on and off states
• Automatically turns off if the ground pin disconnects

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Applications

• Driving resistive or inductive loads grounded on one side
• Automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 compliance
• Systems needing ISO7637 transient compatibility

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component matches the required operating temperature range for your application environment before finalizing procurement.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for single-channel high-side switching applications requiring robust fault protection. Ensure the load current does not exceed the 9A limit and that the system voltage remains within the 5.5V to 36V operational window. Verify thermal management requirements given the PowerSO-10 package constraints.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the VN820-E series, utilizing STMicroelectronics' VIPower M0-3 technology. It is designed as a general-purpose power switch with integrated diagnostics. The series emphasizes automotive-grade reliability and comprehensive protection mechanisms for driving various load types connected to ground.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the VN820 family, such as VN820PTTR-E or VN820B5TR-E, ensuring package compatibility (PowerSO-10 vs PPAK-5/P2PAK-4) and electrical parameter alignment.
