Description
The VNQ5E250AJ-E is a quad channel high-side
driver manufactured using ST proprietary
VIPower™ M0-5 technology and housed in
PowerSSO-16 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 V_CC 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.
