Description
The VN5E050AJ-E is a single channel high-side
driver manufactured in the ST proprietary
VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny
PowerSSO-12 package. The VN5E050AJ-E is
designed to drive 12V 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. A
dedicated analog current sense pin is associated
with every output channel in order to provide
Ehnanced diagnostic functions including fast
detection of overload and short-circuit to ground
through power limitation indication, overtemperature indication, short-circuit to Vcc
diagnosis and ON & 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 allow sharing of the external
sense resistor with other similar devices.
Ground connection. Must be reverse battery protected by an external
diode/resistor network.
Voltage controlled input pin with hysteresis, CMOS compatible. Controls output
switch state.
Analog current sense pin, delivers a current proportional to the load current.
CS_DISActive high CMOS compatible pin, to disable the current sense pin.

2.1 Absolute maximum ratings
Stressing the device above the rating listed in the “Absolute maximum ratings” table may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the Operating sections of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE
Program and other relevant quality document.

3.1 GND protection network against reverse battery
This section provides two solutions for implementing a ground protection network against
reverse battery.
3.1.1 Solution 1: resistor in the ground line (R

The following show how to dimension the R

this resistor should be calculated with formula (1) where I

Please note that, if the microprocessor ground is not shared by the device ground, then the

values. This shift will vary depending on how many devices are ON in the case of several
high side drivers sharing the same R
GND
.
If the calculated power dissipation requires the use of a large resistor, or several devices
have to share the same resistor, then ST suggests using solution 2 below.
3.1.2 Solution 2: diode (D
Note that a resistor (R
GND
) in the ground line
GND
=1kΩ) should be inserted in parallel to D
an inductive load.
This small signal diode can be safely shared amongst several different HSDs. Also in this
case, the presence of the ground network will produce a shift (j600mV) in the input
threshold and in the status output values if the microprocessor ground is not common to the
device ground. This shift will not vary if more than one HSD shares the same diode/resistor
network.
3.2 Load dump protection
Dld is necessary (Voltage Transient Suppressor) if the load dump peak voltage exceeds the
V
max DC rating. The same applies if the device is subject to transients on the VCC line
CC
that are greater than the ones shown in the ISO 7637-2: 2004(E) table.
3.3 MCU I/O protection
If a ground protection network is used and negative transients are present on the VCC line,
the control pins will be pulled negative. ST suggests to insert a resistor (R
prevent the µC I/O pins from latching up.
The value of these resistors is a compromise between the leakage current of µC and the
current required by the HSD I/Os (Input levels compatibility) with the latch-up limit of µC

–Open load in OFF state with additional external components.
A logic level high on CS_DIS pin sets at the same time all the current sense pins of the
device in a high impedance state, thus disabling the current monitoring and diagnostic
detection. This feature allows multiplexing of the microcontroller analog inputs by sharing of
sense resistance and ADC line among different devices.
