STMicroelectronics VN5E160ASTR-E MOSFET Gate Driver 1, 6 A, 28V 8-Pin, SO

The STMicroelectronics VN5E160AS-E is a single-channel high-side driver manufactured in the proprietary VI Power M0-5 technology and housed in the tiny SO-8 package. The VN5E160AS-E is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads delivering protection, diagnostics and easy 3 V and 5 V CMOS compatible interface with any microcontroller. The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, inrush and overload active management by power limitation, over temperature shut-off with auto-restart and overvoltage active clamp.

Very low electromagnetic susceptibility
Inrush current active management by power limitation
