Description This board provides you an easy way to connect (R) (R) STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-7 technology into your existing system. Table 1: Device summary Order code EV-VN7140AS DocID026151 Rev 2 Reference VN7140AS evaluation board 1/7 www.st.com Overview 1 EV-VN7140AS Overview It comes pre-assembled with VN7140AS-E high-side driver. On board minimum set of electrical components (as for device datasheet recommendation) is enabling the user to directly connect the load, the power supply and the microcontroller without any additional effort in external component design and connection. The VN7140AS-E is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary (R) VIPower technology and housed in SO-8 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads through a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface and to provide protection and diagnostics. The device integrates also advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, overload active management by power limitation and overtemperature shutdown. A dedicated high precision proportional load current sense is available, in addition to the detection of overload and short circuit to ground, short to VCC and OFF-state open-load. A sense enable pin allows OFF-state diagnosis to be disabled during the module lowpower mode as well as external sense resistor sharing among similar devices.

Not connected In case the user wishes to utilize the Current Sense/MultiSense function of the device, it is necessary to plug a sense resistor in RSENSE. The package includes a through-hole resistor, to be mounted on TP1-TP2 (see Figure 4: "Mounting through-hole sense resistor"). Different RSENSE values can be adopted based on user preference.
