The VN5016AJ-E is a single channel high side driver with analog current sense for automotive applications. Its main features include inrush current active management by power limitation, very low stand-by current, 3.0V CMOS compatible input, optimized electromagnetic emission, very low electromagnetic susceptibility, and compliance with the 2002/95/EC European directive.
The VN5016AJ-E is a monolithic high-side driver designed for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. It utilizes STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-5 technology and includes an integrated analog current sense function that delivers a current proportional to the load current when the CS_DIS pin is driven low or left open. The device features active inrush current management via power limitation and protects against various fault conditions including undervoltage, overvoltage, and thermal shutdown.
| Max supply voltage | 41 V |
|---|---|
| Operating voltage range | 4.5 to 36 V |
| Junction operating temperature | -40 to 150 °C |
| Thermal resistance junction-case | 0.5 °C/W |
The maximum DC supply voltage is 41 V.
It uses active inrush current management by power limitation.
The device limits dissipated power to a safe level and shuts down, with automatic restart when the fault disappears.
