The headline spec is the 90 mOhm max on-resistance, which at 13 A produces a 1.17 V drop and roughly 15 W of dissipation — that thermal load demands a solid copper pour on the 8-SOIC's exposed pad, not just a narrow trace. The 36 V max load voltage covers 12 V and 24 V rails with margin for load-dump transients, and the 150°C junction rating keeps it alive in under-hood or motor-drive enclosures where ambient can hit 105°C. ## Fault protection set — auto-restart, open-load detect, over-temp, over-voltage, current limiting The VNL5090S5TR-E integrates five fault protections: fixed current limiting, open-load detection, over-temperature shutdown, over-voltage clamp, and auto-restart. The auto-restart feature is notable — after an over-temperature or over-current fault clears, the driver re-enables itself without a host controller intervention, which suits intermittent overloads like a stalled motor or a cold-lamp inrush. Open-load detection flags a disconnected load when the driver is off, useful for diagnostics on remote solenoid or lamp circuits. The over-voltage clamp protects against load-dump spikes on the supply rail, reducing the need for external TVS diodes in many 12 V automotive applications.","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics VNL5090S5TR-E OMNIFET III Low-Side Driver","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics VNL5090S5TR-E OMNIFET III low-side driver, 90 mOhm max Rds(on), 36 V load, 13 A output, 150°C junction, active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"OMNIFET III™, VIPower™","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Analog & Data Acquisition"],"specifications":{"Series":"OMNIFET III™, VIPower™","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Auto Restart, Status Flag","Interface":"On/Off","Input Type":"Non-Inverting","Output Type":"N-Channel","Switch Type":"General Purpose","Rds On (Typ)":"90mOhm (Max)","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-SOIC (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width)","Voltage - Load":"36V (Max)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Fault Protection":"Current Limiting (Fixed), Open Load Detect, Over Temperature, Over Voltage","Number of Outputs":"1","Output Configuration":"Low Side","Ratio - Input:Output":"1:1","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 150°C (TJ)","Current - Output (Max)":"13A","Supplier Device Package":"8-SOIC"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.28","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.28000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.14300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.08440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.89090","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.83276","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.73594","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.58100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.54227","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.51516","currency":"USD"},{"qty":12500,"price":"$0.49579","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/61f2236ba09dc4077ad12d18230ffdc8.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/VNL5090S5TR-E/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the Rds(on) of VNL5090S5TR-E?","answer":"The VNL5090S5TR-E has a maximum Rds(on) of 90 mOhm. This is the worst-case on-resistance at rated current and temperature; typical values at 25°C are lower, but the 90 mOhm max is the number to use for worst-case conduction loss and thermal calculations."},{"question":"Is VNL5090S5TR-E a low-side or high-side driver?","answer":"It is a low-side driver with an N-channel output. The load connects between the positive supply rail and the drain pin; the driver switches the load to ground. This is the standard topology for grounded loads like lamps, relays, and solenoids in automotive and industrial systems."},{"question":"What fault protection does VNL5090S5TR-E include?","answer":"The VNL5090S5TR-E integrates fixed current limiting, open-load detection, over-temperature shutdown, over-voltage clamping, and auto-restart. The auto-restart feature allows the driver to recover automatically after a fault clears, reducing the need for host controller intervention."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/stmicroelectronics/VNL5090S5TR-E","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/stmicroelectronics/VNL5090S5TR-E when reusing this data.
