STMicroelectronics VN16BSP ISO High Side Smart Power Solid State Relay Datasheet
The VN16BSP is a monolithic device made using VviPower Technology intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. It features built-in thermal shut-down to protect the chip from over-temperature and short circuits, as well as under-voltage protection.
Key characteristics include 5V logic level compatible input, an open drain diagnostic output that indicates faults such as open load or over-temperature, and fast demagnetization of inductive loads achieved by a negative voltage at turn-off. The device is available in a PowerSO-10 package.
