The VN1160 is a smart power switch IC from STMicroelectronics, part of the VIPower family. It is designed for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to the battery. The device integrates protection features including thermal shutdown and output current limitation. It operates within a supply voltage range of 9 V to 16 V. The component is available in various packages such as TO-220-3 and DPAK. It is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -E, -C) for package type and availability. Check manufacturer status as some variants are obsolete. Confirm RoHS compliance and AEC-Q100 qualification requirements for your design. Ensure the chosen package matches your PCB layout constraints.
Select based on required load type (resistive or inductive) and current handling needs. Consider the package style (through-hole vs. surface mount) for assembly compatibility. Verify operating voltage range suitability for the target battery system. Check diagnostic pin availability if status feedback is required.
The VN1160 belongs to the VN1160 series of single-channel smart power switches. These devices utilize ST's VIPower technology for robust performance in automotive environments. They serve as low-side switches for controlling external loads directly from the vehicle battery.
Check for direct substitutes within the VN1160 series with different suffixes for package variations. Verify functional equivalence regarding current ratings and protection features before substituting.
