High-side
switches
Fully-protected, high-side switches safely drive resistive, inductive and capacitive grounded loads in compliance with the stringent safety and reliability requirements of
automotive applications.
ST’s offer of automotive high-side switches is the broadest in the market, with an unmatched range of packages, on-resistances, number of output channels and diagnostic
options. Based on its proprietary VIPower™ technology, ST’s high-side switches have 3 V and 5 V CMOS compatible I/Os for control and vertical MOSFETs for the power
outputs, and are the perfect companions for a microcontroller.
VIPOWER M0-7 SERIES
The M0-7 series is the ultimate VIPower product generation, born to deliver the
widest range of on-state resistance and number of channels with full pin-to-pin com-
patibility in the smallest packages. Further application benefits are:
Best-in-class EMI performance
Best-in-class short circuit protections and robustness
Lower quiescent current
Precise load-current, battery voltage and device temperature analog feedback
VIPOWER M0-5 SERIES
The M0-5 series is the largest family of VIPower high-side switches developed to
drive any kind of automotive load.
The devices are equipped with digital status or analog current sense feedback.
Further advantages are available in the M0-5Enhanced options:
Extended load compatibility due to higher current limitation
Instantaneous diagnosis of short-to-ground or overload
OFF-state diagnosis for the analog current sense option (‘E’ types)

Low-side
switches
Fully-protected, low-side switches safely drive resistive, inductive and capacitive loads with one terminal connected to the battery, in compliance with the stringent safety and
reliability requirements of automotive applications.
ST’s low-side switches offer a power output plus control and diagnostic functionalities in one single chip and are available both in single- and dual-channel options.
OMNIFET III
Built in the VIPower M0-5 technology, the OMNIFET III series addresses a broad
range of applications in tiny packages, delivering protection and diagnostic features.
Key application benefits include:
Low stand-by current consumption
Overload and open-load diagnostic
Optimized EMI performances
Enhanced short circuit robustness
OMNIFET AND OMNIFET II
ST offers a wide portfolio of low-side switches suitable for any kind of automotive
