STMicroelectronics Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers VN920(012Y)

The VN920 is a high-side solid-state relay designed for driving various loads with a maximum output current of 30 A and a supply voltage range of 5.5 V to 36 V. It features low on-state resistance, with values typically around 16 mOc at 10 A, ensuring efficient power distribution. The device incorporates several protective features, including active current limitation, thermal shutdown, undervoltage and overvoltage detection, and reverse battery protection, which enhance its reliability in various applications. The VN920 also provides an analog current sense output that delivers a current proportional to the load current, facilitating monitoring and control. It is available in multiple package types, including PENTAWATT, P2PAK, and SO-16L, making it versatile for different design requirements. The operating temperature range is from -40¬8C to 150¬8C, allowing for use in demanding environments. Overall, the VN920 is suitable for applications requiring robust load switching and protection features.
