Description
The VN5MB02-E is a Smart Power driver for
motorbike blinker; it is connected between the
battery positive terminal (V
CC
pin) and a
mechanical switch to the right or left side. As soon
as the series switch connects the OUT pin to the
bulbs, the device begins to turn on/off with a 50%
duty cycle.
External low voltage capacitors are needed for
supplying the device (C
EXT
), for stabilizing the
internal voltage regulator output (C
REG
) and for
setting the oscillating frequency (C
FREQ
).
When a low load is detected, output current lower
than I
df
, flashing frequency is automatically
doubled.
The internal current shutdown latches the
VN5MB02-E when a heavy overload occurs;
thermal limitation reduces the stress on the
device if the junction temperature raises (for
instance when a soft over current event, not
triggering the current latch protection, happens). If
the overload condition lasts more than a time
t
fault
, the VN5MB02-E is latched.
