VN920-E

VN920-E Single-channel high side driver Features Type R I V DS(on) OUT CC VN920-E 16 m 30 A 36 V VN920-12-E PENTAWATT PENTAWATT CMOS compatible input in-line Proportional load current sense Shorted load protection Description Under voltage and overvoltage shutdown The VN920-E is a monolithic device designed in Overvoltage clamp STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 technology, Thermal shutdown intended for driving any kind of load with one side Current limitation connected to ground. Active V pin voltage CC clamp protects the device against low energy Protection against loss of ground and loss of spikes (see ISO7637 transient compatibility able). V CC Very low standby power dissipation Active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart protect the device Reverse battery protected (see Application against overload. The device integrates an analog schematic on page 16) current sense output which delivers a current In compliance with the 2002/95/ec european proportional to the load current. Device directive automatically turns off in case of ground pin disconnection. Table 1.
