DESCRIPTION

The VND830 is a monolithic device made by using STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 Technology, intended for driving any kind of load with one side connected to ground.

Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the devices against low energy spikes (see ISO7637 transient compatibility table). Active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart protects the device against overload. The device detects open load condition both is on and off state. Output shorted to VCC is detected in the off state. Device automatically turns off in case of ground pin disconnection.
