Description
The VNQ5E160MK-E is a double channel highside driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower® M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-24 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads, and to provide protection and diagnostics. It also implement a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface for use with any microcontroller. The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto-restart and over voltage active clamp. A dedicated analog current sense pin is associated with every output channel providing enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through power limitation indication and over temperature indication. The current sensing and diagnostic feedback of the whole device can be disabled by pulling the CS_DIS pin high to share the external sense resistor with similar devices. Max supply voltage VCC 41V Operating voltage range VCC 4.5 to 28 V Max on-state resistance (per ch.) RON 160 mΩ Current limitation (typ) ILIMH 10 A Off-state supply current IS 2 µA(1) 1. Typical value with all loads connected. 0OWER33/ ("1($'5
