VNP20N07 is a fully autoprotected power MOSFET with features such as linear current limitation, thermal shutdown, short circuit protection, integrated clamp, etc. It is intended for replacement of standard power MOSFETs in DC to 50 KHz applications.
The VNP20N07 is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics VIPower Technology, intended for replacement of standard power MOSFETs in DC to 50 KHz applications. It features built-in thermal shut-down, linear current limitation, and overvoltage clamp protection to operate safely in harsh environments.
The device integrates protection features such as an internally set overvoltage clamp at 70V, a linear current limiter, and overtemperature shutdown at 150°C. It also provides status feedback through the input pin to detect fault conditions like overtemperature or short circuits.
| Operating Junction Temperature | Internally Limited |
|---|---|
| Overtemperature Shutdown | 150°C |
| Overtemperature Reset | 135°C |
| Package | TO-220 |
The overtemperature shutdown occurs at a minimum of 150°C.
The device is automatically restarted when the chip temperature falls below 135°C.
The device features an internally set overvoltage clamp at 70V.
