STMicroelectronics VN920PEP-E
The VN920PEP-E is a monolithic device designed in STMicroelectronics VIPower M0-3 Technology, intended for driving any kind of load with one side connected to ground. The device integrates an analog current sense output which delivers a current proportional to the load current.GENERAL FEATURES

Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes (see ISO7637 transient compatibility table). Active current limitation combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart protect the device against overload. Device automatically turns off in case of ground pin disconnection. Table 2.
