STMicroelectronics MOSFET Gate Driver 1, 6 A 8-Pin 28V, SO-8

The STMicroelectronics VN5E160S-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured in the proprietary VI Power M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny SO-8 package. The VN5E160S-E is designed to drive automotive grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics and easy 3V and 5V 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, over-temperature shut-off with auto restart and over-voltage active clamp.

• Inrush current active management by power limitation
• Thermal shutdown indication
• Self limiting of fast thermal transients
• Over temperature shutdown with auto restart
