Description
The VNL5050N3-E and VNL5050S5-E are
monolithic devices made using
STMicroelectronics VIPower Technology,
intended for driving resistive or inductive loads
with one side connected to the battery. Built-in
thermal shutdown protects the chip from
overtemperature and short-circuit. Output current
limitation protects the devices in an overload
condition. In case of long duration overload, the
device limits the dissipated power to a safe level
up to thermal shutdown intervention.Thermal
shutdown, with automatic restart, allows the
device to recover normal operation as soon as a
fault condition disappears. Fast demagnetization
of inductive loads is achieved at turn-off.
