VNHD7012AYTR Motor Driver CMOS, Power MOSFET PWM PowerSSO-36
The VNHD7012AYTR is an automotive-grade, integrated H-bridge motor driver manufactured by STMicroelectronics, specifically engineered for high-performance DC motor control applications such as trunk systems and luxury vehicle body mechanisms. Utilizing STMicroelectronics' proprietary and advanced VIPower M0-7 technology, the monolithic IC efficiently combines a dual fully protected high-side driver along with dedicated control circuits to drive two external low-side power MOSFETs in an H-bridge configuration. Operating smoothly over a wide supply voltage range from 4V to 28V, the driver boasts a powerful output current capacity up to 38A. Housed in a specialized PowerSSO-36 exposed-pad thermal package, this compact electronic device guarantees superior heat dissipation, strict reliability, and complete compliance with rigorous AEC-Q100 automotive industry standards.
Designed for direct integration with modern microcontrollers, the VNHD7012AYTR features 3V CMOS compatible inputs that decode control signals via INA and INB lines to manage motor direction, rotation, and dynamic braking conditions. The motor driver supports Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) operations up to 20 kHz for the external low-side switches, ensuring smooth velocity regulation and quiet, vibration-free motor operation. A standout feature of this device is the integrated MultiSense monitoring technology, which acts as a sophisticated diagnostic feedback loop. Through two dedicated selection pins (SEL0 and SEL1), the system can dynamically feed precise analog data back to the microcontroller, including continuous motor load current measurements, real-time silicon chip temperature tracking, and accurate battery voltage monitoring.
Alternative motor drivers
● VNHD7008AYTR: A direct sibling from the VIPower M0-7 family in the identical PowerSSO-36 package, optimized for even heavier automotive loads with a slightly lower on-state resistance to minimize thermal stress during operation.
● VNH7040AYTR: A mid-range H-bridge automotive driver utilizing the same architecture but tailored for smaller brushed DC motors, offering scaled-down current ratings that reduce system power dissipation.
● VNH5019ATR-E: A legacy 30A automotive H-bridge motor driver from an earlier VIPower generation that supports a MultiPowerSO-30 layout and uses traditional current-sense feedback instead of advanced MultiSense telemetry.
