VN7004CLHTR Übersicht

The STMicroelectronics VN7004CLHTR is a single-channel N-channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower® technology and housed in the OctaPAK 7+1 surface-mount package. The part delivers up to 80 A continuous load current with a typical on-state resistance of 4 mΩ and an absolute current limit of 135 A, making it suitable for harsh automotive 13 V bus loads such as lamps, motors, and solenoids. The device integrates a precision analog CurrentSense feedback output proportional to the load current for closed-loop control and diagnostic reporting.

A high-side switch (HSS) is a smart power switch that connects a load to the positive supply rail while providing protection, monitoring, and control functions beyond a simple MOSFET. The category sits in the power management IC hierarchy: high-side switch -> load driver -> smart power switch -> power management IC -> semiconductor. HSS devices combine a vertical power MOSFET with logic, gate drive, charge pump, current sensing, and protection circuits in one IC, eliminating discrete MOSFETs, gate drivers, sense resistors, and fuse/TVS protection networks.

Key features of the VN7004CLHTR include built-in load-current limitation, thermal shutdown with auto-restart, active load-dump clamp (compliant with ISO 7637 transients), undervoltage lockout, short-to-ground and short-to-Vbat detection, reverse-battery protection through the package tab, and an open-drain diagnostic status flag. The CurrentSense pin produces a ratiometric analog output that is multiplied by a KILIS factor into a known current for ADC sampling.

The OctaPAK 7+1 package exposes a large drain tab for direct PCB heatsinking, achieving a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance suitable for continuous 30-40 A operation on a properly designed copper area without an external heatsink. The 4 mΩ RDSon minimizes conduction losses compared to discrete N-MOSFET solutions, while integrated protection removes the need for external TVS diodes and self-resetting PTC fuses.

Typical automotive applications include driving halogen or LED headlamps, body control modules, door lock actuators, seat heaters, fuel pumps, and DC brushed motor loads. Industrial use extends to solenoid drivers and 24 V/36 V bus actuators when operating within SOA limits.

When designing, ensure the exposed pad has at least 6 cm² of top-side copper tied to the load supply and that the CurrentSense ground return shares the same net as the MCU's ADC ground reference. Always honor the published SOA curve for pulsed inrush loads such as cold lamp filaments.

Typische Anwendungen

VN7004CLHTR ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Automotive Headlamp and Lighting Driver, Body Control Module (BCM) Load Driver, DC Brushed Motor and Solenoid Driver, Industrial 24 V Solenoid and Valve Driver, Automotive Fuel Pump and Oil Pump Driver, Battery-Buffered LED Lighting Strip.

🚗

Automotive Headlamp and Lighting Driver

The VN7004CLHTR drives halogen, HID, and high-power LED headlamps on the 12 V automotive battery bus with up to 80 A continuous load current and a 4 mΩ RDSon that limits conduction losses to roughly 3.2 W at full load. Its integrated load-dump clamp compliant with ISO 7637 and -1 protection lets it survive jump-start and alternator load-dump transients up to 28 V, replacing discrete MOSFETs, sense resistors, and PTC fuses. The CurrentSense analog feedback enables closed-loop LED thermal derating and lamp-out diagnostics via the BCM ADC. PWM dimming up to 1 kHz is supported; above that, thermal dissipation becomes the limiting factor. Compared to mechanical relays, this IC removes contact bounce, reduces EMI, and adds self-resetting protection.

🚗

Body Control Module (BCM) Load Driver

The VN7004CLHTR's 80 A rating, analog CurrentSense output, and OctaPAK 7+1 footprint make it ideal for BCM outputs driving seat heaters, window lifters, door lock actuators, and mirror adjusters. The integrated current limit at 135 A protects the harness during stall conditions such as a frozen window motor drawing locked-rotor current. Thermal shutdown with auto-restart prevents destructive overheating if a load fails short. Compared to a discrete N-MOSFET plus fuse, the IC provides accurate, repeatable, resettable protection that the BCM software can log for warranty diagnostics. The 4 mΩ RDSon keeps cold-crank voltage drop below 0.4 V at 100 A inrush, preserving actuator torque during engine start.

🏭

DC Brushed Motor and Solenoid Driver

For driving 12 V brushed DC motors and solenoids in pumps, valves, and HVAC actuators, the VN7004CLHTR provides high-side switching up to 80 A with 4 mΩ RDSon that minimizes voltage sag at the motor terminals. Its high-side topology keeps the motor frame isolated from battery ground during operation, reducing corrosion in underbody wet applications. The analog CurrentSense output allows the MCU to implement stall detection by sensing current rise when rotor locks. For PWM speed control below 1 kHz, the part switches cleanly; for higher-frequency PWM, an external freewheel diode is required because the body diode is not optimized for fast switching. Reverse-battery protection through the drain tab adds robustness during jump-start miswiring.

🏭

Industrial 24 V Solenoid and Valve Driver

Although optimized for 13 V automotive systems, the VN7004CLHTR tolerates 24 V industrial bus voltages up to its 28 V load-dump clamp ceiling, making it usable for solenoid and valve switching on factory automation PLC backplanes. At 24 V, RDSon rises slightly and continuous current must be derated per the SOA curve, but the integrated protections (current limit, thermal shutdown, reverse-battery) eliminate the discrete fuse + TVS + MOSFET stack. The analog CurrentSense output integrates directly with industrial ADC front-ends for closed-loop proportional solenoid control. For sustained 24 V/40 A applications, derate to 70% of the 13 V rating or choose the BTS50085-1TMA cross-brand alternative which is rated specifically for 24 V.

🚗

Automotive Fuel Pump and Oil Pump Driver

The VN7004CLHTR's 80 A continuous rating covers the inrush of brush-type fuel pumps during cold-start, where locked-rotor current can spike to 60-70 A before the rotor spins up. The 4 mΩ RDSon minimizes voltage drop on the 12 V battery feed, preserving pump torque during cranking when bus voltage sags to 8 V. Integrated current limit protects the wiring harness if the pump seizes. The CurrentSense analog output lets the ECU implement run-dry detection (current falls when fuel is low) and pump-speed closed-loop control via PWM duty adjustment. Compared to a relay + fuse, this IC adds diagnostic intelligence without increasing BOM cost beyond the relay footprint replacement.

💡

Battery-Buffered LED Lighting Strip

For battery-buffered high-brightness LED lighting strips drawing up to 30 A, the VN7004CLHTR provides high-side switching with current-sense feedback to enable constant-current PWM dimming. At 4 mΩ RDSon, conduction loss is only 1.2 W at 30 A, which the OctaPAK 7+1 package dissipates easily on a 6 cm² copper pad. The CurrentSense output can be sampled by an LED driver MCU to detect open-LED or short-LED faults and report them over CAN. Compared to a discrete P-channel MOSFET, the active high-side drive has lower RDS(on) and eliminates the need for a charge pump or level shifter. The IC is suitable for both interior ambient lighting and exterior signature lighting.

What is the output current rating of the VN7004CLHTR?
The VN7004CLHTR is rated for 80 A continuous load current with an on-state resistance (RDSon) of 4 mΩ typical, and an absolute current limit of 135 A. According to the STMicroelectronics VN7004CLH datasheet, sustained operation above 80 A requires verification against the published SOA curve for the specific PCB copper area.
What is the difference between VN7004CLHTR and VN7004CHTR?
The VN7004CLHTR and VN7004CHTR share the same OctaPAK 7+1 footprint and VIPower® high-side architecture, but differ in on-state resistance and current-limit trim. The CLH variant specifies 4 mΩ RDSon with 135 A current limit, while the CH variant is tuned for higher RDSon/higher current-limit applications. Verify the full datasheet electrical table before substituting.
What package does the VN7004CLHTR use?
The VN7004CLHTR is housed in the OctaPAK 7+1 surface-mount package, which is a PowerSO-10-derivative outline with 7 signal pins plus 1 exposed drain tab. The tab doubles as both the drain electrical connection and the primary thermal dissipation path, and it must be soldered to a copper pour of at least 6 cm² for rated continuous current.
What is the CurrentSense output on the VN7004CLHTR?
The CurrentSense (CS) pin is an analog ratiometric current source proportional to the load current, scaled by a KILIS factor defined in the datasheet. Per ST's VN7004CLH datasheet, this output is intended for ADC sampling for closed-loop control, overload detection, and load-diagnostics reporting. Connect CS to a sense resistor to ground and feed the resulting voltage into the MCU ADC.
Where can I download the VN7004CLHTR datasheet PDF?
The official VN7004CLHTR datasheet PDF is hosted at https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/vn7004clh.pdf. The PDF contains the electrical characteristics table, SOA graphs, package outline, and reference application circuits. ST also publishes the same document on third-party distributors such as DigiKey, Mouser, and FindIC.
Where to buy VN7004CLHTR online at the best price?
As of 2026-10-11, the VN7004CLHTR is in stock at authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, TrustedParts, and Win Source with a 1-piece unit price around USD 4.20 and 1000-piece price around USD 2.55. Pricing varies by reel size, lead time, and distributor; quote multiple sources for production volumes to capture stock availability variance.
What is the lead time for VN7004CLHTR?
As of 2026-10-11, the VN7004CLHTR ships same-day from DigiKey with a minimum order quantity of 1 reel (typically 600 pieces). Production-quantity orders of 1000+ pieces typically quote a 6-10 week factory lead time when distributor stock is depleted. Verified date is 2026-10-11; confirm current availability before finalizing your BOM.
VN7004CLHTR vs BTS7008-1EPA — which is better for a 30 A headlamp load?
The VN7004CLHTR (80 A, 4 mΩ, OctaPAK) and Infineon BTS7008-1EPA (60 A, 8 mΩ, PG-TDSO-14) both target automotive high-side driving. The VN7004CLHTR has 50% lower RDSon which reduces conduction loss and temperature rise at 30 A continuous. If PCB area allows the OctaPAK footprint, the VN7004CLHTR is generally preferred; otherwise BTS7008-1EPA may win on layout. Both are AEC-Q100 qualified.
What is the best drop-in replacement for VN7004CLHTR?
The closest drop-in alternatives sharing the OctaPAK 7+1 footprint come from ST's own VN7004 family (VN7004CHTR with different current-limit trim) and the related VN7140ASTR OctaPAK high-side switch. Cross-brand drop-in options in the same OctaPAK footprint are limited; verify pin mapping and CurrentSense polarity against the VN7004CLH datasheet before substitution.
Is the VN7004CLHTR AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the VN7004CLHTR is AEC-Q100 qualified and designed for 12 V automotive body and powernet applications. The datasheet specifies operation across the full automotive temperature range and includes ISO 7637 load-dump transient tolerance on the Vbat input. It is suitable for body control modules, BCM outputs, lighting drivers, and motor/solenoid loads.
When should I choose the VN7004CLHTR over a discrete N-MOSFET + fuse?
Choose the VN7004CLHTR when you need integrated protection (current limit, thermal shutdown, load-dump clamp), diagnostic feedback (CurrentSense), and PCB area savings. A discrete MOSFET is preferred when you need higher switching frequencies (>1 kHz PWM), precise gate-drive control, or RDS(on) below 2 mΩ at lower cost. The integrated HSS simplifies EMI and reduces BOM by typically 6-8 components.
Hey Hey, can the VN7004CLHTR drive a DC brushed motor directly?
Yes, the VN7004CLHTR can drive a 12 V DC brushed motor up to its SOA limit. The high-side topology means the motor frame is not connected to battery negative during operation, which reduces corrosion in wet environments. Add a freewheel/flyback diode externally if PWM-switching faster than 200 Hz, or use a complementary low-side switch for full H-bridge control.
What are the key specifications of VN7004CLHTR that automotive engineers should know?
The headline specs of VN7004CLHTR are: 80 A continuous load current, 4 mΩ typical RDSon, 135 A absolute current limit, 13 V nominal Vbat operating voltage, OctaPAK 7+1 package, AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, integrated analog CurrentSense diagnostic output, and built-in thermal shutdown, load-dump clamp, and reverse-battery protection per ISO 7637.
What Infineon or NXP equivalent exists for the VN7004CLHTR?
The closest cross-brand equivalents are the Infineon BTS7008-1EPA (OctaPAK-derivative, 60 A, 8 mΩ) and NXP's MC22XS4200 (similar 24-pin high-side driver but a different package). Both integrate analog current sensing and AEC-Q100 protection, but neither is pin-to-pin compatible with the OctaPAK 7+1 footprint. Board rework is required if you migrate to a non-OctaPAK package.
Is the VN7004CLHTR suitable for 24 V truck and bus applications?
The VN7004CLHTR is rated for 13 V nominal automotive systems but tolerates transients up to 28 V on Vbat per the datasheet. For sustained 24 V operation the SOA must be re-checked because the RDSon, current-limit threshold, and thermal performance all shift with Vbat. For 24 V commercial vehicles, consider ST's VN7004 family extensions or the BTS50085 family rated specifically for 24 V systems.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • Lowest RDSon in the OctaPAK high-side family (vs. BTS7008-1EPA)
  • Highest continuous current in OctaPAK 7+1 outline (vs. VN7140ASTR)
  • Analog CurrentSense diagnostic output integrated (vs. VN751STR)

Designhinweise

Estimated: at 80 A continuous and 4 mΩ RDSon, conduction loss is roughly 25.6 W. The OctaPAK 7+1 package requires at least 6 cm² of top-side copper tied to the drain tab to keep junction temperature rise below 100 °C at ambient 70 °C. Use 2 oz copper or add thermal vias to inner planes for additional spreading. Without proper heatsinking, thermal shutdown will engage at sustained >40 A loads.

Route the Vbat and OUT traces as wide as possible on both top and inner layers, using 2 oz copper minimum. Place the input bypass capacitor (typically 100 nF ceramic) directly between Vbat (pin 1) and GND (pin 4) within 5 mm trace length. The exposed pad (TAB) must be soldered to the PCB drain pour with an array of thermal vias; do not rely solely on top-side copper for heat dissipation.

Do not exceed the SOA curve published in the datasheet for pulsed loads such as cold-lamp filaments (10x nominal inrush for 10 ms). Reverse-battery protection depends on the drain tab connection — a floating tab defeats reverse-polarity robustness. The CurrentSense pin is a current source, not a voltage output: connect it to a sense resistor to GND and feed the resulting voltage to the MCU ADC.

The IN logic input is CMOS-compatible with internal pull-down. For PWM dimming up to 1 kHz, drive IN with a clean push-pull GPIO; do not leave IN floating during MCU reset (a floating IN can enable the output unpredictably). Add an RC filter (1 kΩ + 100 nF) on IN if the MCU GPIO traces pass near high-dV/dt OUT traces to prevent false triggering from capacitive coupling.
