Description This board provides you an easy way to connect ® ® STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-7 technology into your existing system. DocID026301 Rev 2 Table 1: Device summary Order code EV-VN7020AJ Reference VN7020AJ evaluation board 1/7 www.st.com Overview 1 EV-VN7020AJ Overview The board comes pre-assembled with VN7020AJ-E high-side driver. On board minimum set of electrical components (as for device datasheet recommendation) is enabling the user to directly connect the load, the power supply and the microcontroller without any additional effort in external component design and connection. The VN7020AJ-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary ® VIPower technology and housed in PowerSSO-16 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads through a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface, providing protection and diagnostics. The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, overload active management by power limitation and overtemperature shutdown with configurable latch-off. A FaultRST pin unlatches the output in case of fault or disables the latch-off functionality. A dedicated multifunction multiplexed analog output pin delivers sophisticated diagnostic functions including high precision proportional load current sense, supply voltage feedback and chip temperature sense, in addition to the detection of overload and short circuit to ground, short to VCC and OFF-state open-load. A sense enable pin allows OFF-state diagnosis to be disabled during the module low-power mode as well as external sense resistor sharing among similar devices.

In case the user wishes to utilize the Current Sense/MultiSense function of the device, it is necessary to plug a sense resistor in RSENSE. The package includes a through-hole resistor, to be mounted on TP1-TP2 (see Figure 4: "Mounting through-hole sense resistor"). Different RSENSE values can be adopted based on user preference. Another option is soldering an SMD resistor on the dedicated PCB pad, as shown in Figure 5: "Pads for soldering SMD resistor".
