The VN02NSP/VN02NPT are monolithic devices made using SGS-THOMSON Vertical Intelligent Power Technology, intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. Built-in thermal shut-down protects the chip from over temperature and short circuit. The input control is 5V logic level compatible. The open drain diagnostic output indicates open circuit (no load) and over temperature status.
The VNO2NSP and VNO2NPT are monolithic high‑side smart power solid‑state relays designed to drive resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. They feature 5 V logic‑level compatible inputs, thermal shut‑down protection, under‑voltage shut‑down, and an open‑drain diagnostic output that indicates open‑circuit and over‑temperature conditions.
The datasheet provides detailed electrical characteristics such as a continuous output current of 6 A, supply voltage range of 7 V to 26 V, on‑state resistance of 0.4 Ω, and power dissipation up to 58 W. Mechanical dimensions for the PowerSO‑10 PPAK and PPAK packages, thermal resistance values, and typical application circuits with reverse‑battery protection are also included.
| Continuous Output Current | 6 A |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 7 V – 26 V |
| Junction Operating Temperature (Tj) | -40 °C to 150 °C |
| Input Low Level (V_IL) | 0.8 V |
| Input High Level (V_IH) | 2 V |
| Thermal Shut‑down Temperature | 140 °C |
| Reset Temperature | 125 °C |
The device can deliver up to 6 A of continuous output current at 25 °C.
The relay is compatible with a 5 V logic level input.
It includes a thermal shut‑down that turns the MOSFET off at 140 °C and re‑enables it when the junction temperature falls to about 125 °C.
Insert a Schottky diode between pin 1 (GND) and ground to protect against a continuous reverse battery voltage of –26 V.
