The VN02ANSP is a monolithic device made
using STMicroelectronics VIPower Technology,
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 diagnostic
output indicatesan over temperature status.
Fast turn-off of inductive load is achieved by
negative (-18 V) load voltage at turn-off.

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 ata minimum

protection in all V
conditions and in all the

junction temperature range it is necessary to limit
the voltage drop across Drain and Source (pin 3
and 5) at 28Vaccordingto:

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

Based on this formula it is possible to know the
value of inductance and/or current to avoid a
thermal shut-down.
PROTECTING THE DEVICE AGAINST REVERSE BATTERY
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
across this diode are as follows:
If the input is pulled to power GND, a negative
voltage of -V
thresholds and Vstat are increased by Vfwith
respect to 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
