# VN5E160MSTR-E

**STMicroelectronics** · Power Distribution Switches · SOIC-8

VN5E160MSTR-E from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | power_in | Ground connection that must be reverse battery protected by an external diode/resistor network (DC reverse ground pin current max 200 mA). |
| 2 | IN | input | Voltage-controlled, CMOS-compatible input with hysteresis (VIL 0.9 V min, VIH 2.1 V, 0.25 V hysteresis) that controls the output switch state. |
| 3 | CS | output | Analog current sense pin delivering a current proportional to the load current, or a fixed VSENSEH fault flag on power limitation or overtemperature; high-impedance when CS_DIS is high. |
| 4 | CS_DIS | input | Active-high CMOS-compatible pin that disables the current sense pin (VCSDL 0.9 V, VCSDH 2.1 V). |
| 5 | VCC | power_in | Battery connection, operating range 4.5 V to 28 V, with maximum DC supply voltage of 41 V. |
| 6 | OUT | power_out | Power output to the high-side load, with DC short-circuit current limit typically 10 A. |
| 7 | OUT | power_out | Power output to the high-side load, with DC short-circuit current limit typically 10 A. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Battery connection, operating range 4.5 V to 28 V, with maximum DC supply voltage of 41 V. |
