Overview
EV-VN7004CLH
The board comes pre-assembled with VN7004CLH high-side driver. On board minimum set
of electrical components (as for device datasheet recommendation) is enabling the user to
directly connect the load, the power supply and the microcontroller without any additional
effort in external component design and connection.
The VN7004CLH is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary
VIPower^® technology and housed in the Octapak package. The device is designed to drive
12 V automotive grounded loads through a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface,
providing protection and diagnostics.
The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation,
overload active management by power limitation and overtemperature shutdown.
A combination of INPUT and FR_DIAG pins latches the output in case of fault, disables the
latch-off functionality and enables OFF-state diagnostic.
