DESCRIPTION

The VN220 is a monolithic device designed in STMicroelectronics VIPower technology, intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. Built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip from overtemperature and short circuit. The open drain diagnostic output indicates open circuit (no load) and overtemperature status.

■ OUTPUT CURRENT (CONTINUOUS): 28A AT TC=25°C

■ THERMAL SHUT-DOWN

■ UNDERVOLTAGE SHUT-DOWN

■ OPEN DRAIN DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT

■ VERY LOW STAND-BY POWER DISSIPATION
