DESCRIPTION
The VB325 SP is a hi gh vol tage po wer inte grated
circuit made using the STMicroelectronics
VIPower™ M1-3 tec hnology, with v ertical curre nt
flow power darlington and logic level compatible
driving c ircuit. T he enable pin all ows to ex ter nally
block the switch when the input is on. Built-in
protection circuit for coil current limiting and
collector voltage clamping allows the device to be
used as smart, high voltage, high current interface

in advanced electronic ignition system. If the input
signal from the micro happens to remain high, the
device protects itself against over-heating by
forcing collect or current to smooth decr ease (low
voltage clamp feature ) and no undesi dered spark
occurs (see figure 4).
