Description
EV-VNQ5E050K provides you an easy way to
connect ST’s surface mounted VIPower
®
drivers
into your existing prototype circuitry. This
evaluation board comes pre-assembled with
VNQ5E050K-E high-side driver.
The VNQ5E050K-E is a quad channel
high-side driver manufactured using ST
proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed
in PowerSSO-24 package. The VNQ5E050K-E is
designed to drive automotive grounded loads,
providing 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 overvoltage active clamp. A dedicated
active low digital status pin is associated with
every output channel in order to provide
enhanced diagnostic functions including fast
detection of overload and short-circuit to ground,
overtemperature indication, short-circuit to V
CC
diagnosis and ON-state and OFF-state open-load
detection.
The diagnostic feedback of the whole device can
be disabled by pulling the STAT_DIS pin up, thus
allowing wired-ORing with similar devices.
