DESCRIPTION

The VN450 is a monolithic device made using SGS-THOMSON Vertical Intelligent Power Technology, intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. This device has three independant channels and three diagnostics.

Built-in thermal shut-down protects the chip from over temperature and short circuit.

The control inputs are 5V CMOS logic level compatible.

The open drain diagnostic outputs indicate short circuit (no load) and overtemperature status.
