Description
The VNI2140J is a monolithic device designed
using STMicroelectronics' VIPower technology.
The device drives two independent resistive or
inductive loads with one side connected to
ground. Active current limitation prevents a drop
in system power supply in cases of shorted-load,
and built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip
from damage due to over-temperature and short-
circuit. In overload conditions, channel turns OFF
and ON automatically to maintain the junction
temperature between TTSD and TR. If the case
temperature reaches TCSD, the overloaded
channel is turned OFF and restarts only when
case temperature decreases down to TCR. In
order to avoid high-peak current from the supply,
when more than one channel is overloaded the
TCSD restart is not simultaneous. Non
overloaded channels continue to operate
normally. The open-drain diagnostics output
indicates over-temperature conditions and open-
load in off state.

Doc ID 15187 Rev 8 13/23
7 Open load
In order to detect the open load fault a pull-up resistor must be connected between the VCC
line and the output pin.
In a normal condition a current flows through the network made up of a pull-up resistor and
a load. The voltage across the load is less than VOLMIN; so the diag pin is kept high.
This is the result in the condition:
Equation 1
or
Equation 2
When a open load event occurs the voltage on the output pin rises to a value higher than
VOLMAX (depending on the pull-up resistor). The diag pin will go down.
This result in the condition:
Equation 3

VNI2140J Reverse polarity protection
Doc ID 15187 Rev 8 17/23
9 Reverse polarity protection
This schematic can be used with any type of load.
The following is an indication on how to dimension the RGND resistor.
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 polarity situations) is:
PD = (-VCC)2/RGND
Note: In normal condition (no reverse polarity) due to the diode there will be a voltage drop
between GND of the device and GND of the system.
