VNH7070 in ST Motor Drivers Family
The VNH7070 family by STMicroelectronics consists of integrated H-bridge motor drivers designed for automotive applications. Built using proprietary VIPower M0-7 technology, these devices incorporate a dual monolithic high-side driver and two low-side switches. They provide a compact solution for bidirectional control of DC motors, managing high current loads while offering robust protection mechanisms against common electrical faults in harsh 12V automotive environments and industrial automation systems.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the VNH7070 sub-family primarily differ based on packaging configurations and AEC-Q100 qualification levels. While the core architecture remains consistent, specific part numbers like the VNH7070ASTR utilize the SO-16 package optimized for automated surface mount assembly and thermal dissipation. Differences may also occur in lead-free plating specifications or tape-and-reel quantities. Designers should verify the specific suffix to ensure compliance with automotive grade requirements and thermal performance targets.
