DESCRIPTION

The VN770 is a device formed by three monolithic chips housed in a standard SO-28 package: a double high side and two Power MOSFETs. The double high side are made using STMicroelectronics VIPower technology; Power MOSFETs are made by using the new advanced strip lay-out technology. This device is suitable to drive a DC motor in a bridge configuration as well as to be used as a quad switch for any low voltage application. The dual high side switches have built-in thermal shut-down to protect the chip from over temperature and short circuit, status output to provide indication for open load in off and on state, overtemperature conditions and stuck-on to VCC.

■ IDEAL AS A LOW VOLTAGE BRIDGE

■ VERY LOW STAND-BY POWER DISSIPATION

■ OVER-CURRENT PROTECTED

■ STATUS FLAG DIAGNOSTICS ON UPPER SIDE

■ OPEN DRAIN DIAGNOSTICS OUTPUT

■ UNDER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION

■ SUITABLE AS QUAD SWITCH

VN770属于集成电路（IC） > 全半桥驱动器。意法半导体（ST）集团制造生产的VN770全半桥驱动器器件属于电桥驱动器电源管理集成电路 (PMIC) 系列，包含两个或多个功率晶体管，以及在外部器件控制下将其用作开关所需的电路。这些晶体管通常在内部配置为成对串联连接（称为半桥），因而任意指定晶体管对之间的结点都可以连接至两个电源轨中的任一个。这类器件常用于将控制器件（如微控制器）提供的低电平信号转换为操作执行器（如步进电机或无刷电机）所需的较大功率信号。
