The VND10N06, VND10N06-1, VNP10N06FIand
VNK10N06FM are monolithic devices made
using SGS-THOMSON Vertical Intelligent Power
M0 Technology, intended for replacement of
standard power MOSFETS in DC to 50 KHz
applications. Built-in thermal shut-down, linear
current limitation and overvoltage clamp protect
the chip in harshenviroments.

PROTECTION FEATURES
During Normal Operation, the INPUT pin is
electrically connected to the gate of the internal
power MOSFET through a low impedance path
as soon asV
IN>VIH
.
The device then behaves like a standard power
MOSFET and can be used as a switch from DC
to 50KHz. The only difference from the user’s
standpoint is that a small DC current (typically
150 µA) flows into the INPUT pin in order to
supply the internal circuitry.
During turn-off of an unclamped inductive load
the output voltage is clamped to a safe level by
an integrated Zener clamp between DRAIN pin
and the gateof the internal Power MOSFET.
In this condition, the Power MOSFET gate is set
to a voltage high enough to sustain the inductive
load currenteven ifthe INPUTpin is drivento 0V.
The device integrates an active current limiter
circuit which limits the drain current I

whateverthe INPUTpin Voltage.
When the current limiter is active, the device
operatesin thelinear region, so powerdissipation
may exceed the heatsinking capability. Both case
and junction temperatures increase, and if this
phase lasts long enough, junction temperature
