EV-VN5E025AJ VN5E025AJ evaluation board Data brief − production data Features Parameter Symbol Value Unit Max supply voltage VCC 41 V Operating voltage range VCC 4.5 to 28 V Max On-State resistance RON 25 mΩ Current limitation (typ) ILIMH 60 A Off state supply current IS 2 µA(1) 1. Typical value with all loads connected. ■ Simple single IC application board dedicated for VN5E025AJ-E ■ Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping ■ Provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping with every output channel provides enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through power limitation indication, over temperature indication, short-circuit to VCC diagnosis and ON-state and OFF-state open-load detection. The current sensing and diagnostic feedback of the whole device can be disabled by pulling the CS_DIS pin high to share the external sense resistor with similar devices. Figure 1. VN5E025AJ evaluation board Table 1. Device summary Description EV-VN5E025AJ provides you an easy way to connect ST’s surface mounted VIPower® drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This evaluation board comes pre-assembled with VN5E025AJ-E high-side driver. The VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-12 package. The VN5E025AJ-E is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads, providing protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface with any microcontroller. The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, overtemperature shutoff with autorestart and overvoltage active clamp. A dedicated analog current sense pin is associated September 2013 Order code EV-VN5E025AJ Reference VN5E025AJ evaluation board Doc ID 023956 Rev 2 This is information on a product in full production.
