Description
The VNQ5E160MK-E is a double channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower® M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-24 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads, and to provide protection and diagnostics. It also implement a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface for use with any microcontroller.
Features
• General
– Very low standby current
– 3.0 V CMOS-compatible inputs
– Optimized electromagnetic emissions

– Thermal shutdown indication
– Overload and short to ground (power
limitation) indication
• Protection
– Undervoltage shutdown
– Overvoltage clamp
– Load current limitation
– Self limiting of fast thermal transients
– Protection against loss of ground and loss
of VCC
