The VNQ5160K-E is a state-of-the-art high-side driver manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed to deliver robust performance for automotive and industrial applications. This advanced driver is part of the VIPower M0-5 family and is specifically engineered to drive resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground.

Constructed with STMicroelectronics' proprietary VIPower technology, the VNQ5160K-E offers a range of features that make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. The device integrates multiple functions, including a double-channel high-side driver, which can be controlled independently. This enables the direct driving of loads through a microcontroller, thereby simplifying the design and reducing the component count in the system.

The VNQ5160K-E boasts a wide supply voltage range from 5.5V to 36V, making it versatile for different operating environments. Its built-in thermal shutdown, along with overcurrent and overvoltage protection, ensures the reliability and longevity of the device under harsh conditions. Additionally, the driver includes load current limitation and fast demagnetization of inductive loads, providing further protection and stability in operation.

With a very low standby current, the VNQ5160K-E is also designed to be energy-efficient, which is particularly important in battery-powered applications. The device is housed in a compact PowerSSO-24 package, offering a space-saving solution without compromising on power and functionality.
