Description
The VN751S 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 VCC pin voltage
clamp protects the device against low energy
spikes. Active current limitation combined with
thermal shutdown and automatic restart protect
the device against overload. Device automatically
turns off in case of ground pin disconnection. This
device is especially suitable for industrial
applications in conformity with IEC 61131-2
programmable controllers international standard.

VN751S Reverse polarity protection
Doc ID 12320 Rev 7 11/17
7 Reverse polarity protection
A schematic solution to protect the IC against a reverse polarity condition is proposed.
This schematic is effective with any type of load connected to the outputs of the IC.
The RGND resistor value can be selected according to the following conditions to be met:
RGND 600 mV / (IS in ON state max).
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.
The power dissipation associated to RGND during reverse polarity condition is:
PD = (-VCC)2/RGND
This resistor can be shared by several different ICs. In such case IS value on formula (1) is
the sum of the maximum ON-state currents of the different devices.
Please note that if the microprocessor ground and the device ground are separated then the
voltage drop across the RGND (given by IS in ON state max * RGND) produce a difference
between the generated input level and the IC input signal level. This voltage drop will vary
depending on how many devices are ON in the case of several high side switches sharing
the same RGND.
