STMicroelectronics VNQ9080AJ Evaluation Board

STMicroelectronics VNQ9080AJ Evaluation Board comes pre-assembled with VNQ9080AJ high-side driver. The STMicroelectronics VNQ9080AJ board has a minimum set of electrical components enabling a direct connection to the load, power supply, and microcontroller. The VNQ9080AJ is a quad-channel high-side driver manufactured using ST proprietary VIPower M09 technology. The device is designed to drive 12V automotive grounded loads through a 3V and 5V CMOS-compatible interface, providing protection and diagnostics.
