Product Overview
Automotive Fully Integrated H-Bridge Motor Driver from STMicroelectronics. Supplied by SUPERB Automation with full traceability and batch-level QA documentation.
Key Features & Benefits
Fully Integrated H-Bridge — No External MOSFETs Required
The VNH7100BASTR integrates two monolithic half-bridges with all gate drivers, charge pump, and protection circuitry in a single SO-16N package. This eliminates the need for external MOSFETs, gate drivers, bootstrap diodes, and current-sense resistors — dramatically reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Automotive-Grade Robustness — AEC-Q100 Qualified
Certified to AEC-Q100 automotive standards, the VNH7100BASTR withstands harsh operating conditions including load dump, reverse battery, and extended temperature range (−40°C to +150°C). Ideal for drone payload actuators, gimbal motors, and ground support equipment where reliability is non-negotiable.
Comprehensive Protection Suite
Built-in overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage protection with diagnostic feedback (current sense and fault flag) enable robust, self-protecting designs without additional sensing circuitry — critical for autonomous drone systems that must handle actuator stall conditions gracefully.
Target Applications
Drone Gimbal & Payload Actuators
Drives brushed DC motors in 2-axis/3-axis camera gimbals, payload release mechanisms, and landing gear actuators on professional inspection and delivery drones. The integrated current-sense output enables precise torque/position control without external shunt resistors.
Automotive Actuator Control
Designed for automotive throttle control, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves, HVAC flap actuators, and mirror positioning — all requiring bidirectional motor control with comprehensive diagnostics.
Robotics & Industrial Motor Control
Powers small-to-medium brushed DC motors in robotic grippers, conveyor actuators, valve controllers, and automated test equipment where integrated protection and diagnostics reduce system complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the VNH7100BASTR require an external charge pump?
No. The VNH7100BASTR integrates a full charge pump for high-side gate drive, requiring only a single supply voltage (4V–28V) and logic-level PWM/DIR control signals — compatible with 3.3V and 5V MCU GPIOs directly.
Can this driver be used for brushless DC (BLDC) motors?
No, this is a brushed DC motor H-bridge. For BLDC motors, ST offers the STSPIN family (e.g., STSPIN32F0, STSPIN830) which integrate 3-phase gate drivers. The VNH7100BASTR is ideal for brushed motors in gimbals, actuators, and auxiliary drives.
