General description

This reference design implements the functions of

VN808CM high side drivers in industrial

applications. Developed using the VIPower M0-3

proprietary technology, VN808CM completes the

series of Octal High Side Drivers for the factory

automation market. It is intended for driving any

kind of load with one side connected to ground. It

can be driven by using a 3.3V logic supply. Active

current limitation, combined with thermal

shutdown and automatic restart, protects the

device against overload. With primary application

requirements being safety and reliability, this

demonstration board is compliant with

international electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

specifications as well as other requirements. It

has been tested at different typical ambient

temperatures. The reference design is suitable for

use in programmable logic controllers to produce

the related digital outputs according to IEC

standards.
