Overview
The VN750LS, produced by STMicroelectronics, is a monolithic high-side driver designed using the VIPower® M0-3 technology. This device is intended for driving any type of load with one side connected to ground. It features an active VCC pin voltage clamp that protects the device against low energy spikes, complying with ISO7637 transient compatibility standards. The VN750LS also includes active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart, ensuring protection against overload conditions. Additionally, it detects open-load conditions in both on-state and off-state and provides protection against output shorted to VCC and loss of ground.
