Overview
The VND810SP is a monolithic double-channel high-side driver designed using STMicroelectronics™ VIPower™ M0-3 Technology. This device is intended for driving any type of multiple load with one side connected to ground. It features an Active VCC pin voltage clamp that protects the device against low energy spikes, and it includes active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart to protect against overload. The VND810SP also detects open-load conditions in both on-state and off-state and automatically turns off if the ground pin becomes disconnected.
