Overview
The VNQ810PEPTR-E, produced by STMicroelectronics, is a quad-channel high-side driver (HSD) integrated circuit. It is formed by assembling two VND810 chips in a single SO-28 package. This device is designed using STMicroelectronics' VIPower M0-3 technology and is intended for driving various types of loads with one side connected to ground.
The VNQ810PEPTR-E features CMOS-compatible inputs, open-drain status outputs, and a range of protection mechanisms including undervoltage and overvoltage shutdown, shorted load protection, and protection against loss of ground. It also includes active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart to protect against overload.
