VND5E004A-E

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The VND5E004A-E is a double channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology. It is housed in PQFN-12x12 and MultiPowerSO-30 packages, designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads with protection and diagnostics. The device features a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface for microcontroller use. Key specifications include AEC-Q100 qualification, very low standby current, optimized electromagnetic emissions, and compliance with European directive 2002/95/EC.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Feature Summary

• Integrates advanced protective functions including load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto-restart, and overvoltage active clamp.
• Features dedicated analog current sense pins associated with every output channel for enhanced diagnostic functions such as fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through power limitation indication.
• Provides off-state open-load detection, output short to V CC detection, and thermal shutdown indication capabilities.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Applications

• Driving 12 V automotive grounded loads
• Automotive electronic control units requiring high-side switching
• Microcontroller-based systems needing integrated protection and diagnostics

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant (PQFN-12x12 or MultiPowerSO-30) required for your design before ordering. Confirm that the analog current sense functionality aligns with your system's diagnostic architecture, as this feature is integral to the VND5E004A-E. Ensure compatibility with 3 V and 5 V CMOS logic levels from the controlling microcontroller. Check for any specific environmental compliance requirements beyond the stated European directive 2002/95/EC.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Selection Notes

Select the VND5E004A-E when dual-channel high-side driving with precise analog current sensing is required. Its VIPower M0-5 technology offers robust protection against common automotive faults like overtemperature and short circuits. Consider this part if you need to share an external sense resistor by disabling diagnostics via the DE pin, optimizing bill of materials cost compared to devices without this sharing capability.
