Description
The VNQ5027AK-E is a monolithic device made
using STMicroelectronics VIPower technology. It
is intended for driving resistive or inductive loads
with one side connected to ground. Active V
CC
pin
voltage clamp protects the device against low
energy spikes (see ISO7637 transient
compatibility table).
This device integrates an analog Current Sense
which delivers a current proportional to the load
current (according to a known ratio) when
CS_DIS is driven low or left open. When CS_DIS
is driven high, the CURRENT SENSE pin is in a
high impedance condition. Output current
limitation protects the device in overload
condition. In case of long overload duration, the
device limits the dissipated power to safe level up
to thermal shut-down intervention.
Thermal shut-down with automatic restart allows
the device to recover normal operation as soon as
fault condition disappears.
