STMicroelectronics VND9012AJ Evaluation Board

STMicroelectronics VND9012AJ Evaluation Board comes pre-assembled with the powerful VND9012AJ high-side driver. The STMicroelectronics VND9012AJ board is designed to simplify connecting a load, power supply, and microcontroller. The board comes with a minimum set of electrical components. The VND9012AJ high-side driver is a double-channel device manufactured using ST’s proprietary VIPower M0-9 technology. This device is built to handle the demands of the automotive industry, providing protection and diagnostics for driving 12V grounded loads through a 3V or 5V CMOS-compatible interface.
