Description
The VN5E050ASO-E is a single channel high-
side driver manufactured using ST proprietary
VIPower® M0-5 technology and housed in the
SO-16L package. The device is designed to drive
12 V automotive grounded loads, and to provide
protection and diagnostics. It also implements a
3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface for the
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 overvoltage 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, overtemperature indication, short-
circuit to VCC diagnosis and 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 share the external sense
resistor with similar devices.
