Analog / Linear ICs (S&D, non Std., MPP) Part 1

The VN5E025MJ-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-12 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads and provides protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface with any microcontroller.The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto-restart and over-voltage active clamp. A dedicated analog current sense pin is associated with every output channel in order to provide enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through power limitation indication and overtemperature indication.
