VND5E025AK evaluation board Simple single IC application board dedicated for VND5E025AK-E Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping. Provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping Description EV-VND5E025AK provides you an easy way to connect STs surface mounted VIPower drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This evaluation board comes pre-assembled with VND5E025AK-E high-side driver. The VND5E025AK-E is a double channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-24 package. The VND5E025AK-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 Table 1.
