Description
The VNI4140K is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics VIPower technology, intended for driving four independent resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. Active current limitation avoids dropping the system power supply in case of shorted load. Built-in thermal shut-down protects the chip from overtemperature and short circuit.
FEATUREs
■ Output current: 0.7 A per channel
■ Shorted load protections
■ Junction over-temperature protection
■ Case overtemperature protection for thermal independence of the channels
■ Thermal case shut-down restart not simultaneous for the various channels
■ Protection against loss of ground
■ Current limitation
■ Undervoltage shut-down
■ Open drain diagnostic outputs
■ 3.3 V CMOS/TTL compatible inputs
■ Fast demagnetization of inductive loads
■ Conforms to IEC 61131-2
