VIPowerTM M0-5: the smart power device Dedicated product portfolio for car lighting applications

Automotive smart power switches for lighting STMicroelectronics offers a wide family of innovative smart power switches, designed in VIPower™ M0-5 technology, for automotive applications. These products introduce a new and effective protection strategy assuring an excellent standard of reliability, so meeting the growing market demand, increasingly focused on intelligent power switches (IPS) able to protect themselves and the load against hazardous conditions (such as overload or short circuit). The product portfolio includes single-, dual- and quad-channel solutions with several options in terms...

Best in class in protection strategy Standard IPS, during overload or heavy short circuit, are not protected against thermal stress (fast thermal transients), the main cause of silicon degradation. VIPower M0-5 devices have an internal control, called Power Limitation (patent IP), that reduces silicon degradation by turning off the internal vertical power MOSFET when the junction temperature increases suddenly. Moreover, an additional protection is implemented through two different current-limitation values. During the load inrush, the current is limited at ILIMH (high), but when thermal shutdown...

Simplify your design using L99PD08 Tailored for VIPowerTM M0-5 high-side drivers, the L99PD08 is a coprocessor that controls and monitors eight driver channels via the SPI. The onboard synchronous diagnosis provides reliable, filtered and detailed information on the high-side drivers without intervention of the microcontroller. The microcontroller’s task can thus be reduced to the simple monitoring of a fault pin, decreasing the workload associated with driver diagnosis. The circuit also provides phase-shifted PWM, and two independent frequencies are applicable to any of the 8 channels, supporting...

The L99PD08 enables optimal high-side driver partitioning in terms of RDS(on), supply lines, and number of channels in one package, with respect to the loads. This scalability is an answer to the growing number of variants and options within a car platform.

Make your selection according to your needs M0-5 standard Standard M0-5 is a complete product portfolio suitable to address any typical load in automotive applications (such as high beam, low beam, turn indicator, interior lighting). For each RDS(on) size, single-, dual- and quad-channel options are available. Moreover, the devices are equipped with digital diagnostics or with analog current sense. In addition to the standard protection and diagnostic features, the M0-5Enhanced products offer: QQ Extended load compatibility due to higher current limitation QQ Immediate diagnosis reaction over...
