Description
The device is single channel high-side driver
manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower
®
M0-7 technology and housed in the SO-8
package. It is designed to drive 12 V automotive
grounded loads through a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-
compatible interface, and to provide protection
and diagnostics.
The device integrates advanced protective
functions such as load current limitation, overload
active management by power limitation and
overtemperature shutdown.
A dedicated Multisense pin delivers high
precision proportional load current sense, in
addition to the detection of overload and short
circuit to ground, short to V
CC
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.
AEC-Q100 qualified
Extreme low voltage operation for deep cold
cranking applications (compliant with LV124,
revision 2013)
General
