EV-VND7E040AJ - VND7E040AJ VIPower M0-7 Evaluation Board Power Management

This board provides you an easy way to connect STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-7 technology into your existing system. The board comes pre-assembled with VND7E040AJ high-side driver. On board minimum set of electrical components (as for device datasheet recommendation) is enabling the user to directly connect the load, the power supply and the microcontroller without any additional effort in external component design and connection.
The VND7E040AJ is a single channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower technology and housed in PowerSSO-16 package. The device is designed to drive 12 V automotive grounded loads through a 3 V and 5 V CMOS-compatible interface, providing protection and diagnostics.
