Description
The VN920-E is a monolithic device designed in
STMicroelectronics VIPower™ M0-3 technology,
intended for driving any kind of load with one side
connected to ground. Active VCC pin voltage
clamp protects the device against low energy
spikes (see ISO7637 transient compatibility able).
Active current limitation combined with thermal
shutdown and automatic restart protect the device
against overload. The device integrates an analog
current sense output which delivers a current
proportional to the load current. Device
automatically turns off in case of ground pin
disconnection.

Stressing the device above the rating listed in the “Absolute maximum ratings” table 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

1. To ensure long term reliability under heavy over-load 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.

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 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 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 leads to a large resistor or several devices have to share
the same resistor then ST suggests to utilize Solution 2 (see below).

3.1.2 Solution 2: diode (DGND) in the ground line
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 will produce 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 will not vary if more than one HSD shares the same diode/resistor
network.
Series resistor in INPUT lines is also required to prevent that, during battery voltage
transient, the current exceeds the absolute maximum rating.
Safest configuration for unused INPUT pin is to leave it 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 the ISO T/R 7637/1 table.
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 will be pulled negative. ST suggests to insert a resistor (Rprot) in line to
prevent the µC I/Os pins to latch-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 65kΩ.
Recommended values: Rprot =10kΩ.
