ST VNP10N07-E

The VNP10N07 is a monolithic device made using VIPower Technology, intended for replacement of standard power MOSFETS in DC to 50 KHz applications. Built-in thermal shut-down, linear current limitation and overvoltage clamp protect the chip in harsh enviroments. Fault feedback can be detected by monitoring the voltage at the input pin.

• OVERVOLTAGE CLAMP PROTECTION: internally set at 70V, along with the rugged avalanche characteristics of the Power MOSFET stage give this device unrivalled ruggedness and energy handling capability.
• LINEAR CURRENT LIMITER CIRCUIT: limits the drain current Id to Ilim whatever the Input pin voltage.
• OVERTEMPERATURE AND SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION: based on sensing the chip temperature and are not dependent on the input voltage. Overtemperature cutout occurs at minimum 150°C. The device is automatically restarted when the chip temperature falls below 135°C.
• STATUS FEEDBACK: In the case of an overtemperature fault condition, a Status Feedback is provided through the Input pin. The internal protection circuit disconnects the input from the gate and connects it instead to ground via an equivalent resistance of 100 Ω.
• ESD protection according to the Human Body model.
• Ability to be driven from a TTL Logic circuit (with a small increase in RDS(on)).
