Description
The VN5E025AJ-E is a single channel high-side
driver manufactured in the ST proprietary
VIPower M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny
PowerSSO-12 package. The VN5E025AJ-E is
designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded
loads delivering 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, over-temperature shut-off with auto-
restart and over-voltage active clamp. A dedicated
analog current sense pin is associated with every
output channel in order to provide Ehnanced
diagnostic functions including fast detection of
overload and short-circuit to ground through
power limitation indication, over-temperature
indication, short-circuit to VCC 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 allow sharing of the external
sense resistor with other similar devices
Max supply voltage VCC 41 V
Operating voltage range VCC 4.5 to 28 V
Max On-State resistance RON 25 mΩ
Current limitation (typ) ILIMH 60 A
Off state supply current ISA

Table 8. Protection and diagnostics (1)
1. To ensure long term reliability under heavy overload or short circuit conditions, protection and related
diagnostic signals must be used together with a proper software strategy. If the device operates under
abnormal conditions this software must limit the duration and number of activation cycles.

Figure 32. Application schematic
3.1 GND protection network against reverse battery
This section provides two solutions for implementing a ground protection network against
reverse battery.
3.1.1 Solution 1: resistor in the ground line (RGND only)
This can be used with any type of load.
The following show how to dimension the RGND resistor:
1. RGND 600mV / (IS(on)max)
2. 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.
Power dissipation in RGND (when VCC<0 during reverse battery situations) is:
PD= (-VCC)2/RGND
This resistor can be shared amongst several different HSDs. Please note that the value of
this resistor should be calculated with formula (1) where IS(on)max becomes the sum of the
maximum on-state currents of the different devices.
Please note that, if the microprocessor ground is not shared by the device ground, then the
RGND produces a shift (IS(on)max * RGND) in the input thresholds and the status output

values. This shift varies depending on how many devices are ON in the case of several high
side drivers sharing the same RGND.
If the calculated power dissipation requires the use of a large resistor, or several devices
have to share the same resistor, then ST suggests using solution 2 below.
3.1.2 Solution 2: diode (DGND) in the ground line
Note that a resistor (RGND=1kΩ) should be inserted in parallel to DGND if the device drives
an inductive load.
This small signal diode can be safely shared amongst several different HSDs. Also in this
case, the presence of the ground network produces a shift (600mV) in the input threshold
and in the status output values if the microprocessor ground is not common to the device
ground. This shift not varies if more than one HSD shares the same diode/resistor network.
3.2 Load dump protection
Dld is necessary (Voltage Transient Suppressor) if the load dump peak voltage exceeds the
VCC max DC rating. The same applies if the device is subject to transients on the VCC line
that are greater than the ones shown in the ISO 7637-2: 2004(E) table.
3.3 MCU I/O protection
If a ground protection network is used and negative transients are present on the VCC line,
the control pins are pulled negative. ST suggests to insert a resistor (Rprot) in line to prevent
the µC I/O pins from latching up.
The value of these resistors is a compromise between the leakage current of µC and the
current required by the HSD I/Os (Input levels compatibility) with the latch-up limit of µC
I/Os:
-VCCpeak/Ilatchup Rprot (VOHμC-VIH-VGND) / IIHmax
Calculation example:
For VCCpeak = - 100V and Ilatchup 20mA; VOHµC 4.5V
5kΩ Rprot 180kΩ
Recommended values: Rprot =10kΩ, CEXT=10nF.

26/37 Doc ID 13106 Rev 4
3.4 Current sense and diagnostic
The current sense pin performs a double function (see Figure 33: Current sense and
diagnostic):
Current mirror of the load current in normal operation, delivering a current
proportional to the load one according to a know ratio KX.
The current ISENSE can be easily converted to a voltage VSENSE by means of an
external resistor RSENSE. Linearity between IOUT and VSENSE is ensured up to 5V
minimum (see parameter VSENSE in Table 9: Current sense (8V<VCC<18V)). The
current sense accuracy depends on the output current (refer to current sense electrical
characteristics Table 9: Current sense (8V<VCC<18V)).
Diagnostic flag in fault conditions, delivering a fixed voltage VSENSEH up to a
maximum current ISENSEH in case of the following fault conditions (refer to Tr u th t a ble):
Power limitation activation
Over-temperature
–Short to V
CC in OFF state
Open load in OFF state with additional external components.
A logic level high on CS_DIS pin sets at the same time all the current sense pins of the
device in a high impedance state, thus disabling the current monitoring and diagnostic
detection. This feature allows multiplexing of the microcontroller analog inputs by sharing of
sense resistance and ADC line among different devices.

3.4.1 Short to VCC and OFF state open load detection
Short to VCC
A short circuit between VCC and output is indicated by the relevant current sense pin set to
VSENSEH during the device off state. Small or no current is delivered by the current sense
during the on state depending on the nature of the short circuit.
OFF state open load with external circuitry
Detection of an open load in off mode requires an external pull-up resistor RPU connecting
the output to a positive supply voltage VPU.
It is preferable VPU to be switched off during the module stand-by mode in order to avoid the
overall stand-by current consumption to increase in normal conditions, i.e. when load is
connected.
An external pull down resistor RPD connected between output and GND is mandatory to
avoid misdetection in case of floating outputs in off state (see Figure 33: Current sense and
diagnostic).
RPD must be selected in order to ensure VOUT < VOLmin unless pulled up by the external
circuitry:
RPD 22 KΩ is recommended.
For proper open load detection in off state, the external pull-up resistor must be selected
according to the following formula:
For the values of VOLmin ,VOLmax, IL(off2)r and IL(off2)f see Table 10: Openload detection
(8V<VCC<18V).
