Data brief
Description
EV-VNH5050A provides you an easy way to
connect ST’s surface mounted VIPower^® HBridge
drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This
evaluation board comes preassembled with
VNH5050A-E H-Bridge.
The VNH5050A-E is a system in package
H-Bridge manufactured in the ST proprietary
VIPower^® M0- 5 technology and housed in the
PowerSSO-36 package. The VNH5050A-E is
designed to drive 12 V automotive bidirectional
load such as a PMDC motor. The VNH5050A-E
provides protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and
5 V CMOS compatible interface with any
microcontroller.
The device integrates advanced protection
functions such as load current limitation, inrush
and active overload management by power
limitation, overtemperature shut-off with
autorestart and overvoltage active clamp. A
dedicated analog current sense pin is associated
with every output channel in order to provide
Enhanced diagnostic functions including fast
detection of overload and short-circuit to ground
through power limitation indication, over-
temperature indication, short-circuit to V_CC
protection and diagnosis as well as on-state and
off-state open-load detection.
The current sensing and diagnostic feedback of
the whole device can be disabled by pulling the
CS_DIS pin high to allow sharing of the external
sense resistor with other similar devices.
