Description
The VND5T050AK-E is a monolithic device made using STMicroelectronics® VIPower® technology, intended for driving resistive or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes.

Features
■ General
   – Very low standby current
   – 3.0 V CMOS compatible input
   – Optimized electromagnetic emission
   – Very low electromagnetic susceptibility
   – Compliance with European directive 2002/95/EC
   – Fault reset standby pin (FR_Stby)
■ Diagnostic Functions
   – Proportional load current sense
   – High current sense precision for wide range currents
   – Off-state open load detection
   – Output short to VCC detection
   – Overload and short to ground latch off
   – Thermal shutdown latch-off
   – Very low current sense leakage
■ Protections
   – Undervoltage shutdown
   – Overvoltage clamp
   – Load current limitation
   – Self limiting of fast thermal transients
   – Protection against loss of ground and loss of VCC
   – Thermal shutdown
   – Electrostatic discharge protection

Application
■ All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads
