This is a datasheet of VN5E160S-E, a single channel high side driver. The driver supports 3V and 5V CMOS compatible inputs and can drive automotive grounded loads. The driver integrates many protection functions, such as load current limitation, overcurrent and overload active management, over-temperature shutdown, reverse battery protection and electrostatic discharge protection.
The VN5E160S-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured in ST proprietary ViPower MO-5 technology and housed in a tiny SO-8 package. It is designed to drive automotive grounded loads, delivering protection, diagnostics, and easy 3V and 5V 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 active low digital status pin is associated with every output channel to provide enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground.
