Description

The VND5T050AK-E is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics® VIPower® technology, intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes.

Features

■ General

– Very low standby current

– 3.0 V CMOS compatible input

– Compliance with European directive 2002/95/EC

– Fault reset standby pin (FR_Stby)

■ Diagnostic Functions

– Proportional load current sense

– High current sense precision for wide range currents

– Off-state open load detection

– Output short to VCC detection

– Overload and short to ground latch off

– Thermal shutdown latch-off

– Very low current sense leakage

■ Protections

– Undervoltage shutdown

– Overvoltage clamp

– Load current limitation
