EV-VNH5180A VNH5180A evaluation board Data brief Description EV-VNH5180A provides you an easy way to connect STs surface mounted VIPower H-Bridge drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This evaluation board comes preassembled with VNH5180A-E H-Bridge. The VNH5180A-E is a system in package H-Bridge manufactured in the ST proprietary VIPower M0- 5 technology and housed in the PowerSSO-36 package. The VNH5180A-E is designed to drive 12 V automotive bidirectional load such as a PMDC motor. The VNH5180A-E provides protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface with any microcontroller. The device integrates advanced protection Features functions such as load current limitation, inrush and active overload management by power Parameter Symbol Value Unit limitation, overtemperature shut-off with autorestart and overvoltage active clamp. A Max supply voltage V 41 V cc dedicated analog current sense pin is associated Operating voltage range V 5.5 to 18 V cc with every output channel in order to provide Enhanced diagnostic functions including fast Max on-state resistance R 50 m ON detection of overload and short-circuit to ground (per leg) through power limitation indication, High-side current I 42 A overtemperature indication, short-circuit to V UMH CC limitation (typ) protection and diagnosis as well as on-state and Off-state supply current I 3A off-state open-load detection.The current sensing s and diagnostic feedback of the whole device can be disabled by pulling the CS DIS pin high to Simple single IC application board dedicated allow sharing of the external sense resistor with for VNH5180-E other similar devices. Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping Provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping Table 1.
