It switches loads from 5.5 V up to 36 V, making it a fit for 12 V and 24 V automotive and industrial systems where you need to drive lamps, solenoids, relays, or small motors. ## What the ratings mean for your BOM Each of the four channels can source 250 mA continuous. That's enough for a standard automotive relay coil (~150 mA) or a small incandescent indicator bulb, but you'll want to parallel channels if driving a higher-current actuator — the 270 mOhm max Rds(on) means at 250 mA each channel dissipates about 17 mW, so thermal buildup in the PowerSO-10 package is manageable even at 85°C ambient. The load voltage range (5.5 V to 36 V) covers both 12 V and 24 V nominal rails with margin for cold-crank dips and load-dump spikes. No external Vcc is needed — the driver powers itself from the load supply. Built-in fault protection includes fixed current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage clamping. The auto-restart feature means the driver re-tries after a fault clears — handy for a seat heater or a fan that might stall briefly, but if you need latched shutdown on a safety-critical load, you'll want to monitor the status flag output. The -40°C to 150°C junction temperature range covers under-hood automotive and outdoor industrial enclosures. The PowerSO-10 exposed pad helps conduct heat to the PCB copper plane — a solid thermal via pattern under the pad is worth the board space. ## Package and sibling variants The VNQ860SP-E ships in a tube with the PowerSO-10 exposed bottom pad. The same die is also available as VNQ860SPTR-E in tape-and-reel, and as VNQ860TR-E in a different package variant. If your pick-and-place line is set up for tape, the VNQ860SPTR-E drops in without a board change — same footprint, same electricals.","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics VNQ860SP-E VIPower high-side driver","metaDescription":"STMicroelectronics VNQ860SP-E VIPower™ 4-channel high-side driver, 250 mA per output, 270 mOhm Rds(on), 5.5–36 V load range.
