STMicroelectronics, Inc. Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers VND5E050MCKTR-E

The VND5E050MCKTR-E is a double-channel high-side driver designed for automotive applications, utilizing ST's proprietary VIPower® M0-5 technology. It operates within a voltage range of 4.5 V to 28 V and can handle a maximum transient supply voltage of 41 V. Each channel features a maximum on-state resistance of 50 mOc and a typical current limitation of 27 A. This device includes advanced protective features such as load current limitation, inrush current management, overtemperature shutdown with auto-restart, and an overvoltage active clamp. It also provides diagnostic capabilities through an analog current sense pin for each output channel, enabling fast detection of overload and short-circuit conditions. The current sensing function can be disabled to allow for shared external sense resistors with other devices. The VND5E050MCKTR-E is housed in a PowerSSO-24 package and is compatible with 3 V and 5 V CMOS logic levels, making it suitable for integration with various microcontrollers. Its low standby current and optimized electromagnetic emissions further enhance its applicability in automotive systems.
