DESCRIPTION

The VNQ05XSP16 is a monolithic device designed in STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 Technology. It is intended for driving any type of multiple loads with one side connected to ground. Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes (see ISO7637 transient compatibility table). This device has four independent channels and one multiplexed analog sense output which deliver a current proportional to the selected output current. SenseEnable pin allows to connect any number of VNQ05XSP16 on the same Current Sense line. Active current limitation combined with thermal shut-down and automatic restart protect the device against

overload. Device automatically turns off in case of

ground pin disconnection.
