Key Differentiators
- Dual-channel high-side driver with 40A output current (vs BTS7006-1)
- AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (vs TLE6206-2)
- Low quiescent current of 50 µA (vs BTS7006-1)
Design Notes
The VND7040AJTR has a thermal resistance of 40°C/W (junction-to-ambient). For high-current applications, ensure adequate PCB copper area or a heatsink is used. For example, at 40A with an on-resistance of 40 mΩ, power dissipation is 64W, which would require a substantial heatsink. In typical automotive applications with lower currents, a large copper pour on the PCB is usually sufficient.
Place decoupling capacitors close to the VCC pins to minimize voltage transients. Use a 100 nF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF electrolytic capacitor in parallel. Ensure the ground pins are connected to a solid ground plane to minimize inductance and improve thermal performance.
Do not exceed the maximum output current of 40A or the operating voltage range of 4V to 28V. Ensure the input control signals are compatible with 3V or 5V CMOS logic. The FAULT pin is active-low and requires a pull-up resistor. Properly handle the SENSE pin to avoid damage from overvoltage.
