VNH5050A-E Motor Driver Power MOSFET Parallel, PWM PowerSSO-36 TP
The VNH5050A-E is a fully integrated H-bridge motor driver manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed specifically for demanding automotive and industrial applications requiring high-current bidirectional load driving capability. This device belongs to ST's VIPower® M0 technology family, which enables the monolithic integration of a true Power MOSFET with intelligent signal and protection circuitry on the same die. The VNH5050A-E is housed in a 36-pin PowerSSO-36 TP package with exposed die pads, featuring a fully symmetrical mechanical design that delivers superior manufacturability and enhanced thermal performance for harsh operating environments. As an AEC-Q100 qualified component, this motor driver is engineered to drive 12 V automotive bidirectional loads such as PMDC motors, providing a comprehensive solution that combines power stage, control logic, and diagnostic feedback in a single compact package.
The VNH5050A-E delivers robust performance with a comprehensive suite of integrated protection and diagnostic functions. The device includes cross-conduction protection, current limitation, over-temperature shutdown with auto-restart, overvoltage active clamp, and undervoltage shutdown. The proprietary power limitation feature provides active overload management and inrush current protection, safeguarding the device during fault conditions. The VNH5050A-E is ideally suited for a wide range of automotive body electronics applications, including power windows, power seats, sunroofs, windshield wipers, and tailgate actuators. Beyond automotive, the device finds extensive use in industrial automation, robotics, electric vehicles (including e-scooters and balance wheels), power tools, automatic door control systems, and home appliances.
