Overview
The VNQ830M-E is a quad channel high side driver (HSD) produced by STMicroelectronics. It is formed by assembling two VND830M-E chips in a single SO-28 package. This monolithic device is designed using STMicroelectronics' VIPower M0-3 Technology. The VNQ830M-E is intended for driving various types of multiple loads with one side connected to ground. It features an active VCC pin voltage clamp to protect against low energy spikes and complies with ISO7637 transient compatibility standards. The device includes multiple protection mechanisms such as active current limitation, thermal shutdown with automatic restart, and detection of open and shorted load conditions in both on and off states.
