The VN610SP is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 technology. It is intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. Active VCC 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). Active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart protect the device against over-load. Device automatically turns off in case of ground pin disconnection.
