The VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side driver designed for automotive applications. It features analog current sense and various protection functions. The driver supports active management of inrush current through power limitation, and has very low standby current and optimized electromagnetic emissions. It also includes diagnostic functions such as load current sense, output short to VCC detection, overload and short to ground indication, etc. It is suitable for all types of resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, and can be used as an LED driver.
The VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured in ST proprietary ViPower MO0-5 technology and housed in the tiny PowerSSO-12 package. It is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads, delivering 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, over-temperature shut-off with auto-restart, and over-voltage active clamp. A dedicated analog current sense pin is associated with every output channel to provide enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground.
