Simple single IC application board dedicated for VND5E160J-E Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping. Provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping Description EV-VND5E160J provides you an easy way to connect STs surface mounted VIPower drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This evaluation board comes pre-assembled with VND5E160J-E high-side driver. The VND5E160J-E is a double channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-12 package. The VND5E160J-E is designed to drive automotive grounded loads, providing protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface with any microcontroller. The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power Table 1. Device summary limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto- Order code Reference restart and overvoltage active clamp. A dedicated analog current sense pin is associated with every EV-VND5E160J VND5E160J evaluation board September 2013 Doc ID 023962 Rev 3 1/8 This is information on a product in full production.
