VND5E025MKTR-E

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The VND5E025MKTR-E is a double-channel high-side driver manufactured using STMicroelectronics' proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology. Housed in a PowerSSO-24 package, it is designed to drive 12V automotive grounded loads with protection and diagnostics. The device features a 3V and 5V CMOS-compatible interface for microcontrollers. It integrates advanced protections including load current limitation, inrush and overload active management via power limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto-restart, and overvoltage active clamp. Each channel has a dedicated analog current sense pin for enhanced diagnostics such as fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers FAQ

How does the VND5E025MKTR-E handle overload conditions?

It manages overload actively through power limitation, which restricts both current and voltage to protect the load and the device itself.

Can the current sense function be disabled?

Yes, the current sensing and diagnostic feedback can be disabled by pulling the CS_DIS pin high, allowing sharing of an external sense resistor.
