Key Differentiators
- Dual-channel configuration with 70mOhm on-resistance (vs VNQ7050AJTR-E)
- AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive (vs BTS7002-1EPA (Infineon))
- Very low standby current of 0.5uA (vs MC10XS3412 (NXP))
Design Notes
The VND7050AJTR has a thermal resistance of 40C/W (junction-to-ambient). At 9A per channel with 70mOhm on-resistance, each channel dissipates approximately 5.7W (I^2 * R). For dual-channel operation, total dissipation can reach 11.4W, resulting in a junction temperature rise of 456C above ambient, which is not acceptable. Therefore, ensure adequate PCB copper area and consider external heatsinking or forced air cooling for high-current applications. For typical automotive loads (e.g., 2A per channel), dissipation is only 0.28W per channel, which is manageable without external heatsinks.
Place the VND7050AJTR close to the load to minimize trace resistance and inductance. Use wide copper traces for the VBB and OUT pins to handle high currents and reduce voltage drop. Connect the exposed pad (if present) to a large copper area for thermal dissipation. Decouple the VBB pin with a 100nF ceramic capacitor and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor close to the device. The logic supply (VCC) should be decoupled with a 100nF capacitor. Ensure the GND pins are connected to a solid ground plane.
For inductive loads (motors, solenoids, relays), always connect an external freewheeling diode across the load to clamp voltage spikes during turn-off. Without this diode, the high-side driver can be damaged by the inductive kickback. Additionally, the diagnostic outputs are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors to VCC. Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings, especially the supply voltage (28V) and output current (14A limitation). Ensure the enable inputs are not left floating; use pull-up or pull-down resistors as needed.
