Overview
The VN02H-E, produced by STMicroelectronics, is a high-side smart power solid-state relay designed using the VIPower technology. This monolithic device is intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. It features built-in thermal shut-down and under-voltage shut-down, protecting the chip from over-temperature and short-circuit conditions. The input control is compatible with 5V logic levels, and the device includes an open drain diagnostic output to indicate open circuit and over-temperature status. The VN02H-E is known for its very low stand-by power dissipation, making it energy-efficient for various applications.
