STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-9 Technology for Smart High-Side Drivers
Consists of two product series
STMicroelectronics features the VIPower* M0-9 technology which consists of two product series: M0-9 Standard and M0-9 SPI high-side drivers. The M0-9 Standard HSDs are intelligent power switches housed in a tiny PowerSSO-16 package.
VIPower M0-9 Standard HSDs are particularly well suited for use in harsh automotive environments and in applications targeting the ASIL-B standard. The series supports the driving and protection of different loads ranging from just a few mA to approximately 20 A, making it the ideal solution for different types of ECU power actuators.
All the drivers are robust for chip temperatures up to 150 °C and are pinto-pin compatible with each other as well as the previous generation of HSDs.
The M0-9 Power stage can be simply driven by a logic I/Os from a microcontroller or from a 5 V or 3.3 V regulator. During standby mode, when all logic pins are set to low, the current absorbed by the device from the battery does not exceed 0.5 mA.
The analog Current Sense circuit integrated also in the chip mirrors the load current with outstanding precision (about 6% at nominal load) and warns of any eventual fault such as an OUT to GND short circuit or an open load.
