Simple single IC application board dedicated for VNQ5E160K-E Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping Provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping Description EV-VNQ5E160K provides you an easy way to connect STs surface mounted VIPower drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. This evaluation board comes pre-assembled with VNQ5E160K-E high-side driver. The VNQ5E160K-E is a quad channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in PowerSSO-24 package. The VNQ5E160K-E is designed to drive automotive grounded loads, providing protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface with any microcontroller. The device integrates advanced protective Table 1.
