The VND5160JTR-E is a double channel high side smart solid-state relay that incorporates features to provide robust and reliable hardware for automotive loads. Produced by Microelectronics, this device is integrated with protections and diagnostics to allow high resilience in harsh environments. Let's discuss how to correctly wire the VND5160JTR-E.

1. Power Supply:Supply the VCC pin (pin 16) with a voltage in the range of 4.5V to 36V. This pin serves as the power supply for the logic and gate driving. For enhanced stability, place a decoupling capacitor (like 0.1uF) as close to the VCC pin and GND (pin 8) as possible.

2. Load Connection:Connect the loads to the OUT pins (pins 1 and 15). These are high-side drivers, so loads should be connected between these pins and the ground.

3. Ground:Ground the VND5160JTR-E through the GND pin (pin 8). This pin serves as both the logic and power ground.

4. Input Pins:The IN pins (pins 4 and 12) are the digital inputs for controlling the respective high-side drivers. You can drive these pins directly with a microcontroller, according to the logic defined by your application.

5. Diagnostics:The VND5160JTR-E provides diagnostics through the EN and DRAG/EN pins (pins 5 and 13 respectively). EN is for enabling the corresponding channel, while DRAG/EN is for both channel enable and diagnostic.

6. Thermal Pad:The thermal pad (the exposed pad at the bottom of the package) should be connected to the ground for optimal thermal performance. It's important to make sure it's well soldered to the PCB and that thermal via are used to aid heat dissipation.

Do remember to refer to the VND5160JTR-E data sheet and application notes provided by Microelectronics for more detailed information and the specific requirements of your design. Each application scenario will necessitate a different setup, and the data sheet will provide the necessary details for a successful implementation.
