Issues with VNQ9080AJTR Quad-Channel high-side driver Output and Input Behavior.

Hello STM Community,

I'm currently working with the VNQ9080AJTR Quad Channel High-Side Driver, and I'm encountering a couple of issues that I hope someone here can help me resolve

1.Output Voltage Regulation: With a constant VCC supply of 12V, the output of the IC is randomly regulated to 7-8V instead of maintaining a stable 12V output. This issue seems to occur intermittently, and I can't pinpoint a specific trigger for when it happens. Has anyone experienced similar behavior? What could be causing the output voltage to drop unexpectedly?

2.Input Pin Voltage: I have connected the input pin (which is supposed to take signals from the microcontroller) to control the driver, but at times, I'm reading 7-8V at this input pin instead of the expected logic-level voltage.

For both issues, I’ve verified my connections and ensured proper grounding. The behavior is random, making troubleshooting difficult.

Dear Divyansh12,
 
 there is something strange on this behavior.
 
To support you we need to have a schematic and more information.
 
Waiting for your feedback.
