VNQ500

Quad channel high-side driver

Features

■CMOS compatible I/O’s

■Chip Enable

■Junction over temperature protection and

diagnostic

■Current limitation

■Shorted load protection

■Undervoltage shutdown

■Protection against loss of ground

■Very low standby current

■In compliance with the 2002/95/EC european

directive

Description

The VNQ500 is a monolithic device designed in

STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 technology,

intended for driving any kind of load with one side

connected to ground.

Active current limitation, combined with latched

thermal shutdown, protect the device against

overload.

In the case of over temperature of one channel

the relative I/O pin is pulled down.

The device automatically turns off in the case of

ground pin disconnection.

Max supply voltage VCC 41V

Operating voltage range VCC 5.5 to 36V

Max on-state resistance RON 500mΩ

Current limitation (typ) ILIM 0.4A

Off-state supply current IS25 µA

2.1 Absolute maximum ratings

Stressing the device above the rating listed in the “Absolute maximum ratings” table may

cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the

device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the Operating sections of

this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating conditions for

extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE

Program and other relevant quality document.

3.1 GND protection network against reverse battery

This section provides two solutions for implementing a ground protection network against

reverse battery.

3.1.1 Solution 1: a resistor in the ground line (RGND only)

This can be used with any type of load.

The following show how to dimension the RGND resistor:

1. RGND ≤ 600mV / (IS(on)max)

2. RGND ≥ (−VCC) / (-IGND)

where -IGND is the DC reverse ground pin current and can be found in the absolute

maximum rating section of the device datasheet.

Power dissipation in RGND (when VCC<0 during reverse battery situations) is:

PD= (-VCC)2/RGND

This resistor can be shared amongst several different HSDs. Please note that the value of

this resistor should be calculated with formula (1) where IS(on)max becomes the sum of the

maximum on-state currents of the different devices.

Please note that, if the microprocessor ground is not shared by the device ground, then the

RGND will produce a shift (IS(on)max * RGND) in the input thresholds and the status output

values. This shift will vary depending on how many devices are ON in the case of several

high-side drivers sharing the same RGND.

If the calculated power dissipation requires the use of a large resistor, or several devices

have to share the same resistor, then ST suggests using solution 2 below.

3.1.2 Solution 2: a diode (DGND) in the ground line

Note that a resistor (RGND=1kΩ) should be inserted in parallel to DGND if the device drives

an inductive load.

This small signal diode can be safely shared amongst several different HSDs. Also in this

case, the presence of the ground network will produce a shift ( 600mV) in the input

threshold and in the status output values if the microprocessor ground is not common to the

device ground. This shift will not vary if more than one HSD shares the same diode/resistor

network.

3.2 Load dump protection

Dld is necessary (Voltage Transient Suppressor) if the load dump peak voltage exceeds the

VCC maximum DC rating. The same applies if the device is subject to transients on the VCC

line that are greater than those shown in the ISO T/R 7637/1 table.

3.3 MCU I/O protection

If a ground protection network is used and negative transients are present on the VCC line,

the control pins will be pulled negative. ST suggests to insert a resistor (Rprot) in line to

prevent the μC I/O pins from latching up.

The value of these resistors is a compromise between the leakage current of µC and the

current required by the HSD I/Os (Input levels compatibility) with the latch-up limit of µC

I/Os:

-VCCpeak/Ilatchup ≤ Rprot ≤ (VOHμC-VIH-VGND) / IIHmax

Example

For the following conditions:

VCCpeak= - 100V

Ilatchup ≥ 20mA

VOHμC ≥ 4.5V

5kΩ ≤ Rprot ≤ 180kΩ.

Recommended values are:

Rprot =10kΩ
