Description
The VNI2140J is a monolithic device designed
using STMicroelectronics' VIPower technology.
The device drives two independent resistive or
inductive loads with one side connected to
ground. Active current limitation prevents a drop
in system power supply in cases of shorted-load,
and built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip
from damage due to over-temperature and short-
circuit. In overload conditions, channel turns OFF
and ON automatically to maintain the junction
temperature between TTSD and TR. If the case
temperature reaches TCSD, the overloaded
channel is turned OFF and restarts only when
case temperature decreases down to TCR. In
order to avoid high-peak current from the supply,
when more than one channel is overloaded the
TCSD restart is not simultaneous. Non
overloaded channels continue to operate
normally. The open-drain diagnostics output
indicates over-temperature conditions and open-
load in off state.
