Note: The voltage provided to the VMM2404 must be 6.5 V or greater to
ensure the sensor supply can provide 5 V.
Depending on system voltage, SENSOR_SUPPLY is capable of delivering different
amounts of current to the sensors, as detailed in the following table:
Maximum Sensor Current at Various Voltages
The following table provides specifications for the VMM2404 sensor power:
Sensor Power Specifications
Output current (linear) @ 6.5 to 14 V battery
Output current (linear) @ 14 to 24 V battery
Output current (linear) @ 24 to 32 V battery
Number of sensor power connector pins
5.2.1.1. Sensor Power Fault Responses
SENSOR_SUPPLY is designed to survive short-to-battery, short-to-ground, and over-
current events. If these events occur, the circuit will recover as described in the
following table:
Sensor Power Fault Recovery
Short-to-battery
(sensor voltage = battery voltage)
Sensor voltage recovers when the short is removed.
Short-to-ground
(sensor voltage = ground)
Sensor voltage recovers when the short is removed.
Over-current
(sensor voltage = ground)
Sensor voltage recovers when the over-current
condition is removed.
