EV-VN7050AS

VN7050AS evaluation board provides an easy way to connect STMicroelectronics® VIPower® M0-7 technology into existing system. It comes pre-assembled with VN7050AS high-side driver. On board minimum set of electrical components is enabling the user to directly connect the load, the power supply and the microcontroller without any additional effort in external component design and connection. The VN7050AS is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower technology and housed in SO-8 package. The device is designed to drive 12V automotive grounded loads through a 3V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface and to provide protection and diagnostics. The device integrates also advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, overload active management by power limitation and overtemperature shutdown.
