Overview
The VNQ05XSP16 is a quad channel high side solid state relay designed by STMicroelectronics using their VIPower M0-3 Technology. This monolithic device is intended for driving multiple loads with one side connected to ground. It features four independent channels and one multiplexed analog sense output, which delivers a current proportional to the selected output current. The device is equipped with various protection mechanisms, including under-voltage and over-voltage shut-down, over-voltage clamp, thermal shut-down, and current limitation. It also offers very low stand-by power dissipation and protection against loss of ground, loss of VCC, and reverse battery protection.
