The VB525SP-E is a high voltage power integrated circuit made using the STMicroelectronics™ VIPower™ M1-3 technology, with Darlington and logic level compatible vertical current flow power driving circuit. The enable pin allows to externally block the switch when the input is on. A built-in protection circuit for coil current limiting and collector voltage clamping allows the device to be used as a smart, high voltage, high current interface in advanced electronic ignition systems. If the input signal from the microcontroller happens to remain high, the device protects itself against overheating by forcing collector current to smoothly decrease (low voltage clamp feature) to avoid undesired spark.
The VB525SP-E is a high-voltage power integrated circuit made using STMicroelectronics ViPower M1-3 technology. It includes Darlington and logic-level compatible vertical current flow power driving circuits designed for advanced electronic ignition systems.
Key features include an internally set primary coil voltage, internal coil current limiting, and a low-voltage clamp thermal shutdown mechanism to prevent undesired sparks if the input signal remains high.
Yes, it features a low voltage clamp thermal shutdown that forces collector current to decrease if the input signal remains high.
The absolute maximum rating for collector current is 10 A.
The device operates between -40 and 150 °C at the junction.
