DescriptionThe VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured in the ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny PowerSSO-12 package. The VN5E025AJ-E is designed to drive 12V automotive grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics and easy 3V and 5V CMOS compatible interface with any microcontroller. functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, over-temperature 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 Ehnanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through indication, short-circuit to Vcc diagnosis and ON & OFF state open load detection. The current sensing and diagnostic feedback of the whole device can be disabled by pulling the CS_DIS pin high to allow sharing of the external sense resistor with other similar devicesMax supply volt Features GeneralInrush current active management by power limitationVery low stand-by current3.0 V CMOS compatible inputsOptimized electromagnetic emissionsVery low electromagnetic susceptibilityeuropean directiveVery low current sense leakageDiagnostic functionsProportional load current senseHigh current sense precision for wide currents rangeCurrent sense disableOff state openload detectionOutput short to VCC detectionOverload and short to ground (power limitation) indicationThermal shutdown indicationProtectionsUndervoltage shutdownOvervoltage clampLoad current limitationSelf limiting of fast thermal transientsProtection against loss of ground and loss of VccOver-temperature shutdown with autorestart (thermal shutdown)Reverse battery protected (see Figure 32.)Electrostatic discharge protectionApplication All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads Suitable as LED driverDescriptionThe VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured in the ST proprietary VIPow specifications . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
