VNH5050A-E block diagram and pin description doc id 16009 rev 10 5/33 1 block diagram and pin description figure 1. block diagram table 2. block description name description logic control allows the turn-on and the turn-off of the high-side and the low-side switches according to the truth table. undervoltage/overvoltage shuts down the device for battery voltage outside the range (4,5...24v). high-side and low-side clamp voltage protect the high-side and the low-side switches from high voltage on the battery line. high-side and low-side driver drive the gate of the concerned switch to allow a proper r ds(on) for the leg of the bridge. current limitation limits the motor current in case of short circuit. high-side and low-side overtemperature protection in case of short-circuit with the increase of the junction temperature, it shuts down the concerned driver to prevent degradation and to protect the die. low-side overload detector detects when low-side current exceeds shutdown current and latches off the concerned low-side. fault detection signalizes an abnormal condition of the switch (output shorted to ground or output shorted to battery) by pulling down the concerned enx/diagx pin. power limitation limits the power dissipation of the high-side driver inside safe range in case of short to ground condition. source_hs a 1/k signal clamp power limitation fault detection o v + u v ls b _overtemperature hs b _overtemperature hs a _overtemperature ls a _overtemperature logic clamp_ls a driver hs a clamp_hs a current limitation_a hs a driver ls a ls a gnd a overload detector_a v cc diag a /en a in a cs cs_dis pwm in b diag b /en b driver hs b hs b clamp_hs b current limitation_b clamp_ls b ls b gnd b driver ls b overload detector_b source_hs b 1/k drain_ls a drain_ls b 3 / 5 2 # % ?
