Are you looking to replace a relay or fuse? Do you need to drive resistive, capacitive, or inductive loads from very low to very high currents?

Discover STMicroelectronics' innovative and cost-effective solutions, thanks to our latest high-side drivers with VIPower M0-9 and M0-9-SPI technology, and our unique new STi²Fuse ICs.

With the increasing demand for electrification in modern cars, the M0-9 series delivers the perfect solution. Designed for applications ranging from driving LED, xenon, or halogen lamps to unidirectional motors and heaters, these robust devices are also ideal for new and appealing applications including ADAS and battery management systems. Moreover, M0-9 is the solution to replace electromechanical relays not only in the low/medium current range (up to 5 A DC) but also for loads requiring up to 20 A DC.

VIPower M0-9 technology consists of two product series: M0-9 Standard and M0-9 SPI high-side drivers (HSD). The M0-9 Standard HSDs are intelligent power switches housed in a tiny PowerSSO-16 package and are particularly well suited for use in harsh automotive environments and applications targeting the ASIL-B standard. M0-9 SPI HSDs are the first automotive intelligent high-side drivers with digital current sensing, integrated PWM generation and fully digital on-chip diagnostics. This new series offers smarter devices the ability to handle and monitor the increased quantity of data required for more complex advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving requirements.

The STi²Fuse is a new family of intelligent fuses to replace standard melting fuses in automotive power distribution systems. The devices enable savings on component and production costs, while extending EV range and reducing the carbon footprint of vehicles. In this session, we introduce the first product in production, the VNF1048F SPI controller IC, designed for smart power distribution, replacement of traditional fuses and to drive high current loads, complementing our VIPower product offering.
