Description

The VNQ830M is a quad HSD formed by assembling two VND830M chips in the same SO- 28 package. The VND830M is a monolithic device made using| STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 Technology. The VNQ830M is intended for driving any type of multiple load with one side connected to ground. The Active V CC 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 detects the open load condition in both the on and off state. In the off state the device detects if the output is shorted to V CC. The device automatically turns off in the case where the ground pin becomes disconnected.

3.1 GND protection networ k against reverse battery

3.1.1 Solution 1: a resist or in the ground line (RGND only)

This can be used with any type of load.

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 will produce a shift (IS(on)max * RGND) in the input thresholds and the status output values. This shift will vary 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: a diode (D GND) in the ground line

A resistor (RGND = 1kΩ) should be inserted in parallel to DGND if the device will be driving an inductive load. This small signal diode can be safely shared amongst several different HSD. Also in this case, the presence of the ground network will produce a shift (j600mV) in the input threshold and the status output values if the microprocessor ground is not common with the device ground. This shift will 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.

3.2 Load dump protection

Dld is necessary (voltage transient suppressor) if the load dump peak voltage exceeds the VCC maximum DC rating. The same applies if the device is subject to transients on the VCC line that are greater than those shown in the ISO T/R 7637/1 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 will be 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 Obsolete Product(s) - Obsolete Product(s)

3.4 Open load detection in off state

VOUT = (VPU / (RL + RPU))RL < VOlmin. VOLmax; this results in the following condition RPU < (VPU - VOLmax) / IL(off2). Figure 25. Openload detection in Off state
