Description
The VN5160S-E is a monolithic device made
using STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-5
technology. It is intended for driving resistive or
inductive loads with one side connected to
ground. Active V
CC
voltage clamp protects the
device against low energy spikes.The device
detects open load condition both in on and off-
state, when STAT_DIS is left open or driven low.
Output shorted to V
CC
is detected in the off-state.
When STAT_DIS is driven high, STATUS is in a
high impedance condition. Output current
limitation protects the device in overload
condition. In case of long duration overload, the
device limits the dissipated power to safe level up
to thermal shutdown intervention. Thermal
shutdown with automatic restart allows the device
to recover normal operation as soon as fault
condition disappears.
