Overview
The VN750SM is a high-side driver IC designed by STMicroelectronics using their VIPower™ M0-3 technology. This monolithic device is intended for driving various types of loads with one side connected to ground. It features an active VCC pin voltage clamp to protect against low energy spikes and incorporates active current limitation, thermal shutdown, and automatic restart to safeguard against overload conditions. The device also includes detection for open-load conditions in both on-state and off-state, as well as protection against shorted loads, undervoltage, overvoltage, and loss of ground.
