Design Notes
The VNQ6004SA-E can dissipate significant power when driving high currents. For example, at 8A per channel with 60 mOhm on-resistance, each channel dissipates 3.84W. The PowerSSO-24 package has a thermal resistance of 35Β°C/W (junction-to-ambient) with proper PCB design. Ensure a minimum of 4cmΒ² copper area on the exposed pad and use thermal vias to connect to inner layers for effective heat spreading. For continuous operation at high currents, consider derating based on ambient temperature.
Place the VNQ6004SA-E close to the load to minimize trace inductance and resistance. Use wide traces for the output and supply connections to handle high currents. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB with a thermal pad pattern. Add a 100nF ceramic capacitor and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor near the VCC pin for decoupling. For each output, consider adding a flyback diode for inductive loads to prevent voltage spikes.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 36V. Ensure the current limit is set appropriately for the load to avoid false triggering. The status pins are open-drain and require pull-up resistors. When driving capacitive loads, the inrush current may exceed the current limit; use a soft-start or increase the current limit setting. Also, avoid reverse polarity on the supply, as the device does not have built-in reverse polarity protection.
