Description
The VND5E025BK-E is a double channel highside driver manufactured in the ST proprietary VIPower™ M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny PowerSSO-24 package. The VND5E025BK-E is designed to drive 12V automotive grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics and easy 3V and 5V CMOS compatible interface with any microcontroller.

Features
■ General
   – Inrush current active management by power limitation
   – Very low standby current
   – 3.0V CMOS compatible inputs
■ Diagnostic functions
   – High current sense precision for wide currents range
   – Current sense ratio drift for single point calibration
   – Current sense disable
   – 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
   – Overtemperature shutdown with auto restart (thermal shutdown)
   – Reverse battery protected
   – Electrostatic discharge protection

Applications
■ Especially intended for blinkers
■ All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads and suitable as LED driver
