EV-VND5E160J
VND5E160J evaluation board
Data brief
production data
Features
Simple single IC application board dedicated
for VND5E160J-E
Provides thermal heat-sinking for ease of use
in prototyping.
Provides electrical connectivity for easy
prototyping
Description
EV-VND5E160J 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
VND5E1 60J -E hig h- side dr iv er.
The VND5E160J-E is a double channel high-side
driver manufactured using ST proprietary
VIPow er M0-5 techno log y and hou se d in
PowerSSO-12 package. The VND5E160J-E is
designed to drive 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 shut-off with auto-
restart and overvoltage active clamp. A dedicated
analog current sense pin is associated with every
output channel in order to provide enhanced
diagnostic functions including fast detection of
overload and short-circuit to ground,
overtemperature indication, short-circuit to V
CC
diagnosis and
ON-state and OFF-state open-load detection.
The diagnostic feedback of the whole device can
be disabled by pulling the STAT_DIS pin up, thus
allowing wired-ORing with similar devices.

Design recommendations EV-VND5E160J
2/8 Doc ID 023962 Rev 3
1 Design recommendations
This evaluation board provides mounting solution and some heat sinking capability for
prototype development, but there are still external components that are required to make
these devices work in any application. For further information on how the evaluation board
has to be used you can refer to the AN4210 (see Appendix A: Reference documents).
Figure 2 illustrates the necessary components for any application.

ST has produced a user manual for safe designs using ST’s VIPower devices. This is
UM1556 (see Appendix A: Reference documents). UM1556 is a VIPower Hardware design
guide that provides all necessary information to successfully design your circuit using our
VIPower drivers.
All designs have different needs and requirements. Whatever design you decide to use, it
will still need to be verified in order to meet your application specifications. ST implies no
guarantee or warranty (see Appendix A: Reference documents).
