Overview
The VN800PS-E is a monolithic high-side driver device manufactured by STMicroelectronics using their VIPower™ M0-3 technology. This device is designed to drive any kind of load with one side connected to ground. It features an active VCC pin voltage clamp to protect against low energy spikes, active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart to protect against overload, and automatic shutdown in case of ground pin disconnection. The VN800PS-E is particularly suited for industrial applications and complies with the IEC1131 (Programmable Controllers International Standard).
