VNQ5160K-E

The VNQ5160K-E is a monolithic device made using VIPower™ M0-5 technology. It is intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. Active V_CC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes. The device detects open-load condition in both on and off states, when STAT_DIS is left open or driven low. Output shorted to V_CC is detected in the off-state. When STAT_DIS is driven high, the STATUS pin is in a high impedance condition. Output current limitation protects the device in overload condition. In the case of long duration overload, the device limits the dissipated power to a safe level up to thermal shutdown intervention. Thermal shutdown with automatic restart allows the device to recover normal operation as soon as a fault condition disappears.
