Description
EV-VN5E025AJ provides you an easy way to 
connect ST’s surface mounted VIPower
®
 drivers 
into your existing prototype circuitry.  This 
evaluation board comes pre-assembled with 
VN5E025AJ-E high-side driver. 
The VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side 
driver manufactured using ST proprietary 
VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in 
PowerSSO-12 package. The VN5E025AJ-E is 
designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded 
loads, providing protection, diagnostics and easy 
3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface with any 
microcontroller.
The device integrates advanced protective 
functions such as load current limitation, inrush 
and overload active management by power 
limitation, overtemperature shutoff with 
autorestart and overvoltage active clamp. A 
dedicated analog current sense pin is associated 
with every output channel provides enhanced 
diagnostic functions including fast detection of 
overload and short-circuit to ground through 
power limitation indication, over temperature 
indication, short-circuit to V
CC
 diagnosis and 
ON-state and OFF-state open-load detection. The 
current sensing and diagnostic feedback of the 
whole device can be disabled by pulling the 
CS_DIS pin high to share the external sense 
resistor with similar devices.
