DESCRIPTION

The VNP14N04 is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics VIPower Technology, Technology, intended for replacement of standard power MOSFETS in DC to 50 KHz applications. Built-in thermal shut-down, linear current limitation and overvoltage clamp protect the chip in harsh enviroments.

Fault feedback can be detected by monitoring the voltage at the input pin.

■ LINEAR CURRENT LIMITATION

■ THERMAL SHUT DOWN

■ SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

■ INTEGRATED CLAMP

■ LOW CURRENT DRAWN FROM INPUT PIN

■ DIAGNOSTIC FEEDBACK THROUGH INPUT PIN

■ ESD PROTECTION

■ DIRECT ACCESS TO THE GATE OF THE POWER MOSFET (ANALOG DRIVING)

■ COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD POWER MOSFET

■ STANDARD TO-220 PACKAGE
