VNP5N07

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The VNP5N07 is a monolithic power driver utilizing VIPower M0 technology, designed to replace standard MOSFETs in DC to 50 kHz applications. It features a single N-channel output with a maximum load voltage of 55V and a typical on-resistance of 200 milliohms. The device supports a maximum output current of 3.5A and operates with a non-inverting input interface. Integrated protections include fixed linear current limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and overvoltage clamping. Fault status is indicated via the input pin voltage. The component is housed in a TO-220-3 through-hole package.
