DESCRIPTION

The VN750PEP is a monolithic device designed in

STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 Technology,

intended for driving any kind of load with one side

connected to ground.

against low energy spikes (see ISO7637 transient

compatibility

table).

Active

limitation

combined with thermal shutdown and automatic

restart protect the device against overload.

The device detects open load condition both is on

the off state. Device automatically turns off in case

of ground pin disconnection.
