Description
The VN920SP-E is a monolithic device designed
in STMicroelectronics™ VIPower™ M0-3
technology. The VN920SP-E is intended for
driving any type of load with one side connected
to ground. The active VCC pin voltage clamp
protects the device against low energy spikes
(see ISO7637 transient compatibility table).
Active current limitation combined with thermal
shutdown and automatic restart protects the
device against overload.
The device integrates an analog current sense
output which delivers a current proportional to the
load current. The device automatically turns-off in
the case where the ground pin becomes
disconnected.

Stressing the device above the rating listed in Ta b l e 3 may cause permanent damage to the
device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or any other
conditions above those indicated in the operating sections of this specification is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics sure program and other relevant quality

3 Application information
Figure 19. Application schematic
3.1 GND 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 is an indication on how to dimension the RGND resistor.
1. RGND 600 mV / (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’s 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 leads to a large resistor or several devices have to share
the same resistor then ST suggests to utilize solution 2 (see Section 3.1.2).

3.1.2 Solution 2: diode (DGND) in the ground line
A resistor (RGND = 1 kΩ) 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 does not vary if more than one HSD shares the same diode/resistor
network.
Series resistor in INPUT and STATUS lines are also required to prevent that, during battery
voltage transient, the current exceeds the absolute maximum rating.
Safest configuration for unused INPUT and STATUS pin is to leave them unconnected, while
unused SENSE pin has to be connected to ground pin.
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 Ta bl e 1 2 .
3.3 MCU I/Os protection
If a ground protection network is used and negative transient are present on the VCC line,
the control pins is pulled negative. ST suggests to insert a resistor (Rprot) in line to prevent
the microcontroller I/Os pins to latch-up.
The value of these resistors is a compromise between the leakage current of microcontroller
and the current required by the HSD I/Os (Input levels compatibility) with the latch-up limit of
microcontroller I/Os.
-VCCpeak/Ilatchup Rprot (VOHµC-VIH-VGND) / IIHmax
Calculation example:
For VCCpeak = -100 V and Ilatchup 20 mA; VOHµC 4.5 V
5kΩ Rprot 65 kΩ.
Recommended values:
Rprot =10kΩ.
