Description
The VB526SP-E is a high voltage power
integrated circuit made using the
STMicroelectronics™ VIPower™ M1-3
technology, with Darlington and logic level
compatible vertical current flow power driving
circuit.
The enable pin allows to externally block the
switch when the input is on. A built-in protection
circuit for coil current limiting and collector voltage
clamping allows the device to be used as a smart,
high voltage, high current interface in advanced
electronic ignition systems. If the input signal from
the microcontroller happens to remain high, the
device protects itself against overheating by
forcing collector current to smoothly decrease
(low voltage clamp feature) to avoid undesired
spark.
Note:
Pin 1 and pin 5 must be connected to pin2, pin 3 and pin 4

4.1 Principle of operation
The VB526SP-E is mainly intended as a high voltage power switch device driven by a logic
level input and interfaces directly to a high energy electronic ignition coil.
The input V
controller that determines both dwell time and ignition point. During V
VB526SP-E increases current in the coil to the desired, internally set current level.
After reaching this level, the coil current remains constant until the ignition point, that
corresponds to the transition of V
During the coil current switch-off, the primary voltage HV
value V
phase, must have the ability to accommodate an overvoltage.
of the VB526SP-E is fed from a low power signal generated by an external

4.2 Feedback
When the collector current exceeds 6.5 A, the feedback signal is turned high and it remains
so, until the input voltage is turned-off.
