Description
The VN5E006ASP-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower® M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSO-10 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics. It also implements a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface for use 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 autorestart and overvoltage active clamp. A dedicated analog current sense pin is associated with every output channel providing enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through power limitation indication, over-temperature indication, shortcircuit to VCC diagnosis and on-state and off-state open-load detection. The current sensing and diagnostic feedback of the whole device can be disabled by pulling the DE pin low to share the external sense resistor with similar devices. Max transient supply voltage VCC 41 V Operating voltage range VCC 4.5 to 28 V Max on-state resistance (per ch.) RON 6 mΩ Current limitation (typ) ILIMH 90 A Off-state supply current IS 2 µA(1) 1.
