VN5E160ASTR-E

Designed for 12V automotive applications, the VN5E160AS-E also provides a comprehensive diagnostic feedback system, including a dedicated analog current sense pin for each output channel. This feature enables fast detection of overload conditions, short-circuits, and open-load scenarios, enhancing the device's fault detection capabilities. Additionally, the ability to disable current sensing and diagnostic feedback allows for flexibility in system configuration and sharing of external sense resistors with other compatible devices
