EV-VN5016AJ VN5016AJ evaluation board Data brief production data Output current limitation protects the device in Features overload condition. In case of long overload duration, the device limits the dissipated power to Parameter Symbol Value Unit safe level up to thermal shutdown intervention. Thermal shutdown with automatic restart allows Max supply voltage V 41 V CC the device to recover normal operation as soon as Operating voltage range V 4.5 to 36 V fault condition disappears.

Simple single IC application board dedicated for VN5016AJ-E Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping Provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping Description EV-VN5016AJ provides you an easy way to connect STs surface mounted VIPower drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This evaluation board comes pre-assembled with VN5016AJ-E high-side driver. The VN5016AJ-E is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-5 technology. It is intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. Active V pin voltage clamp protects the device CC against low energy spikes. This device integrates an analog current sense which delivers a current proportional to the load current (according to a known ratio) when CS DIS is driven low or left Table 1. Device summary open. When CS DIS is driven high, the Order code Reference CURRENT SENSE pin is in a high impedance condition.

This is UM1556 (see Appendix A: Reference documents). UM1556 is a VIPower Hardware design guide that provides all necessary information to successfully design your circuit using our VIPower drivers. All designs have different needs and requirements. Whatever design you decide to use, it will still need to be verified in order to meet your application specifications.
