The VNQ5E050AK-E is a quad channel high-side driver designed for automotive applications. It features analog current sense, various protection functions, and is manufactured using ST's VIPower™ M0-5 technology. The device is housed in a PowerSSO-24 package and is designed to drive 12V automotive grounded loads while providing protection and diagnostics. It also has a 3V and 5V CMOS compatible interface for use with any microcontroller.
The VNQ5E050AK-E is a quad channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary viPower™ MO-5 technology and housed in the PowerSSO-24 package. It is specifically designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads, providing protection and diagnostics for resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads.
The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto-restart, and overvoltage 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.
