Description
The VNQ5E050K-E is a quad channel high-side driver manufactured in the ST proprietary VIPower™ M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny PowerSSO-24 package.
The VNQ5E050K-E is designed to drive automotive grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics and an easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS compatible interface with any microcontroller
Features
◾ General
– Inrush current active management by
power limitation
– Very low stand-by current
– 3.0 V CMOS compatible inputs
– Optimized electromagnetic emissions
– Very low electromagnetic susceptibility
– In compliance with the 2002/95/EC
european directive
◾ Diagnostic functions
– Open drain status output
– On-state open-load detection
– Off-state open-load detection
– Output short to Vcc detection
– Overload and short to ground (power
limitation) indication
– Thermal shutdown indication
◾ Protections
– Undervoltage shutdown
– Overvoltage clamp
– Load current limitation
– Self limiting of fast thermal transients
– Protection against loss of ground and loss
of VCC
– Over temperature shutdown with auto
restart (thermal shutdown)
– Reverse battery protected (see Application
schematic(1) on page 22)
– Electrostatic discharge protection
Applications
◾ All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive
loads
