The VN1160C-1-E is a monolithic smart power device utilizing STMicroelectronics VIPower technology, designed for automotive body applications. It integrates three high-side power channels with integrated current sensing and protection features. The component includes four internal PWM timers for programmable periodic control and an integrated boost controller to support inductive loads. It operates within a supply voltage range of 9V to 16V and is housed in a TO-252-3 (DPAK) surface-mount package.
Verify the exact suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through the latest datasheet revision. Ensure the DPAK package variant matches the intended PCB footprint and soldering profile requirements for the specific assembly line.
Select this component when designing compact automotive lighting units requiring integrated timing and boost functionality. The VIPower technology offers robust protection against overcurrent and overheating. Consider the single-package integration of drivers, timers, and power switches to reduce bill of materials count and simplify layout constraints compared to discrete solutions.
This part belongs to the VN1160 family of smart power switches developed for car body electronics. It represents a consolidated solution replacing multiple discrete components typically used in flashing units. The device simplifies circuit design by embedding control logic directly into the power stage, enhancing reliability in harsh automotive environments.
Official substitutes include VN1160C and VN1160T from the same product family. Verify functional equivalence regarding channel count and timer specifications before substitution.
