this is information on a product in full production. for further information contact your local stmicroelectronics sales office. september 2013 doc id 023959 rev 2 1/8 1 EV-VND5E160AJ vnd5e160aj evaluation board data brief ? production data features simple single ic application board dedicated for vnd5e160aj-e provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use in prototyping. provides electrical connectivity for easy prototyping description EV-VND5E160AJ provides you an easy way to connect st?s surface mounted vipower ? drivers into your existing prototype circuitry. this evaluation board comes pre-assembled with vnd5e160aj-e high-side driver. the vnd5e160aj-e is a double channel high- side driver manufactured using st proprietary vipower m0-5 technology and housed in powersso-12 package. the vnd5e160aj-e is designed to drive 12v 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 and overload active management by power limitation, overtemperature shut-off with auto- restart and overvoltage active clamp. a dedicated analog current sense pin is associated with every output channel provides enhanced diagnostic functions including fast detection of overload and short-circuit to ground through power limitation indication, overtemperature indication, short- circuit to v cc diagnosis and on-state and off-state open-load detection. the current sensing and diagnostic feedback of the whole device can be disabled by pulling the cs_dis pin high to share the external sense resistor with similar devices. figure 1. vnd5e160aj evaluation board parameter symbol value unit max supply voltage v cc 41 v operating voltage range v cc 4.5 to 28 v max on-state resistance r on 160 m current limitation (typ) i limh 10 a off state supply current i s 2a (1) 1. typical value with all loads connected. table 1. device summary order code reference EV-VND5E160AJ vnd5e160aj evaluation board www.st.com
design recommendations EV-VND5E160AJ 2/8 doc id 023959 rev 2 1 design recommendations this evaluation board provides mounting solution and some heat sinking capability for prototype development, but there are still external components that are required to make these devices work in any application. for further information on how the evaluation board has to be used you can refer to the an4210 (see appendix a: reference documents ). figure 2 illustrates the necessary components for any application. figure 2. vnd5e160aj evaluation board st has produced a user manual for safe designs using st?s vipower devices. 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. st implies no guarantee or warranty (see appendix a: reference documents ). 6 / r d g v 6 p d o o 6 l j q d o ' l r g h ) r u 5 h y h u v h % d w w h u \ 3 u r w h f w l r q 1 & |
