Built-in fault protection includes current limiting (fixed threshold), over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage clamping — no external Vcc supply is required for the logic input, simplifying the BOM. The Auto Restart feature means the driver cycles on/off after a thermal fault, re-trying the load automatically once the junction cools below the reset threshold — useful for lamp inrush or motor stall recovery without software intervention. ## 25 mOhm Rds(on) and 43 A peak — load headroom for high-surge applications The 43 A peak output rating handles lamp cold-start inrush, DC motor start-up, and capacitive loads well beyond the steady-state current requirement — but the actual continuous current is thermally limited by the board layout and ambient temperature. STMicroelectronics no longer manufactures this exact variant in volume; new-production orders are not accepted from the factory. Available inventory is limited to stock already in the distribution channel. Confirm the BOM position and thermal budget before committing; the Auto Restart and fault protection set may not be identical on newer VIPower parts. ## PowerSSO-12 footprint and thermal design The datasheet recommends a minimum copper area on the top layer and via stitching to the ground plane to achieve the rated junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Derate the continuous output current above the rated junction temperature per the thermal impedance curves in the datasheet.","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics VN5E025MJ-E VIPower high-side driver","metaDescription":"ST VN5E025MJ-E VIPower single-channel high-side driver, 25 mOhm max Rds(on), 43 A peak output, overvoltage/overcurrent/thermal protection, obsolete — sourced","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Power Management (PMIC / Gate Driver)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"STMicroelectronics","Series":"VIPower™","Package":"Tube","Features":"Auto Restart","Interface":"On/Off","Input Type":"Non-Inverting","Output Type":"N-Channel","Switch Type":"General Purpose","Rds On (Typ)":"25mOhm (Max)","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"PowerSSO-12","Product Status":"Obsolete","Voltage - Load":"4.5V ~ 28V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Fault Protection":"Current Limiting (Fixed), Over Temperature, Over Voltage","Number of Outputs":"1","Base Product Number":"VN5E025","Output Configuration":"High Side","Ratio - Input:Output":"1:1","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~150°C(TJ)","Current - Output (Max)":"43A","Supplier Device Package":"PowerSSO-12™","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"Not Required"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.7200","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/fa56a493e62674e855d0d433ddec1c76.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/VN5E025MJ-E/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the replacement for VN5E025MJ-E?","answer":"No official replacement or pin-compatible successor is listed for the VN5E025MJ-E on the manufacturer's record.
