shutdown and automatic restart protects the device against overload. The device detects the open load condition in both the on and off-state. In the off-state the device detects if the output is shorted to VCC. The device automatically turns off in the case where the ground pin becomes disconnected.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VNQ830PEP-E detect an open load in the off-state?
The device detects if the output is shorted to V, while also providing automatic shutdown if ground becomes disconnected.
What protective measures are built into the driver against overload and spikes?
It features active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown/restart, plus low standby current and root cause protection.
What methods should be used for GND protection against a reverse battery?
You must either place a resistor on the ground line (RGND only) or use a diode (D) in the ground line.
Is this high side driver compatible with microcontrollers (MCUs)?
Yes, it includes CMOS compatible inputs and provides MCU I/O protection.
