VN5050J-E

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The VN5050J-E is a single-channel high-side driver manufactured using STMicroelectronics VIPower technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 36 V and supports a junction temperature range from -40 °C to +150 °C. The device features a CMOS-compatible input with a maximum operating supply current of 5 µA. Key timing parameters include a maximum turn-on delay of 20,000 ns and a maximum turn-off delay of 35,000 ns. It is AEC-Q100 qualified and housed in a PowerSSO-12 package.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Feature Summary

• Integrates active VCC pin voltage clamp for protection against low energy spikes.
• Provides comprehensive diagnostic functions including open load detection in both on and off states.
• Features thermal shutdown with automatic restart to recover normal operation after fault conditions.
• Supports output shorted to VCC detection and load current limitation for overload protection.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Applications

• Driving resistive loads connected to ground
• Driving inductive loads connected to ground
• Automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' to confirm the tube packaging variant, as other suffixes like 'TR' indicate reel packaging. Confirm availability status, as this specific part number may be discontinued or subject to limited distribution depending on the region. Ensure the design accounts for the SMD/SMT installation style and the 12-pin PowerSSO package dimensions during PCB layout.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel high-side switch with integrated diagnostics is required. It is suitable for systems needing 3.0V CMOS compatibility and robust protection against transient voltages. Consider the VN5050JTR-E if tape-and-reel packaging is preferred for automated assembly. Verify that the load type matches the device's capability for resistive or grounded inductive loads.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Part Context

The VN5050J-E belongs to the VN5050 family of monolithic high-side drivers based on VIPower technology. It shares functional similarities with variants like VN5050JTR-E, differing primarily in packaging format. The device is designed for automotive-grade reliability, offering advanced protection and diagnostic features compared to standard power switches.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Replacement Considerations

VN5050JTR-E is a verified substitute with identical electrical characteristics but differs in packaging (reel/cut tape vs. tube). VN5050JJ-E is also listed as a related variant within the same product family.
