The VN02AN is a monolithic device made using
STMicroelectronicsVIPowerTechnology,
intended for driving resistive or inductive loads
with one side grounded.
Built-in thermal shut-down protects the chip from
over temperatureand short circuit.
(*) The Vih is internallyclamped at about 6V. It is possible to connect this pin to a higher voltagevia an external resistor calculated to not
exceed 10 mA at the input pin.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The device has a diagnostic output which
indicatesover temperatureconditions.
The truth table shows input, diagnostic output
status and output voltage level in normal
operation and fault conditions. The output signals
are processedby internal logic.
To protect the device against short circuit and
over current conditions, the thermal protection
turns the integrated Power MOS off at a minimum
junction temperature of 140
temperature returns to 125
o
C. When the

C the switch is
automatically turned on again. To ensure the
protection in all V
conditions and in all the
CC
junction temperature range it is necessary to limit
the voltage drop across Drain and Source (pin 3
and 5) at 28Vaccordingto:
V
ds=VCC-IOV
*(Ri+Rw+Rl)

Driving inductiveloads, an internal function of the
device ensures the fast demagnetization with
typical voltage (V

) of -18V.
This function allows the reduction of the power
dissipationaccordingto the formula:

wheref = Switching Frequency
Based on this formula it is possible to know the
value of inductance and/or current to avoid a
thermalshut-down.
PROTECTING THE DEVICE AGAINST REVERSEBATTERY
The simpliest way to protect the device against a
continuous reverse battery voltage (-36V) is to
insert a Schottky diode between pin 1 (GND)and
ground, as shown in the typical application circuit
(Fig. 3). The consequences of the voltage drop
acrossthis diode are as follows:
If the input is pulled to power GND, a negative
voltage of -V
is seen by the device. (Vil,V

thresholds and Vstat are increased by Vfwith
respectto power GND).

If there is no need for the control unit to handle
external analog signals referred to the power
GND, the best approach is to connect the
reference potential of the control unit to node [1]
(see application circuit in fig. 4), which becomes
the common signal GND for the whole control
board avoiding shift of V
