DESCRIPTION

The VB027SP is a high voltage power integrated

circuit

made

using

the

STMicroelectronics

VIPower

™ technology, with vertical current flow

power darlington and logic level compatible

driving circuit. Built-in protection circuit for coil

current limiting and collector voltage clamping

allows the device to be used as smart, high

voltage, high current interface in advanced

electronic ignition system.
