Description
The VNQ7140AJ-E is a quad channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower® technology and housed in PowerSSO-16 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.
Features
• General
– Quad channel smart high-side driver with
MultiSense analog feedback
– Very low standby current
– Compatible with 3 V and 5 V CMOS
outputs
• MultiSense diagnostic functions
– Multiplexed analog feedback of: load
current with high precision proportional
current mirror, VCC supply voltage and
TCHIP device temperature
– Overload and short to ground (power
limitation) indication
– Thermal shutdown indication
– OFF-state open-load detection
– Output short to VCC detection
– Sense enable/disable
• Protections
– Undervoltage shutdown
– Overvoltage clamp
– Load current limitation
– Self limiting of fast thermal transients
– Configurable latch-off on overtemperature
or power limitation with dedicated fault
reset pin
– Loss of ground and loss of VCC
– Reverse battery with external components
– Electrostatic discharge protection
Applications
• All types of automotive resistive, inductive and
capacitive loads
• Specially intended for automotive signal lamps
(up to R10W or LED Real Combinations)
