The VNQ5E160AK-E is a quad channel high side driver with analog current sense for automotive applications. The device integrates advanced protection, diagnostics and easy 3V and 5V CMOS compatible interface with any microcontroller. It is manufactured in the ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny PowerSSO-24 package.
The VNQ5E160AK-E is a double channel high-side driver manufactured in ST proprietary ViPower MOO-5 technology. It is designed to drive 12V 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 analog current sense pin is associated with every output channel to provide enhanced diagnostic functions.
