Description

The VND600 is a double chip device designed in STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 technology. The VND600 is intended for driving any type of load with one side connected to ground. The active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes (see ISO7637 transient compatibility table). Active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart protects the device against over-load.
