The VNQ5E160K-E is a quad channel high-side driver designed for automotive applications. It features inrush current active management by power limitation, very low standby current, 3.0V CMOS compatible inputs, optimized electromagnetic emissions, very low electromagnetic susceptibility, and compliance with the 2002/95/EC European directive.
The VNQ5E160K-E is a quad channel high-side driver manufactured in ST proprietary ViPower MOS technology. 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.
