STEVAL-IFP00V1
8 channel high side driver reference board
with VN808CM
Features
■ Compatible with existing ST tools (CANIC10,
ARMIC30 …,etc)
■ 8 output channels + 1 feedback channel
(diagnostic - status)
■ CMOS compatible signals allow direct
connection to a microcontroller
■ Outputs and diagnostic status indicated by
LEDs
■ EMC immunity proof 4kV level EFT(IEC 61000-
4-4), 2kV voltage surge (IEC 61000-4-5)
General description
This reference design implements the functions of
VN808CM high side drivers in industrial
applications. Developed using the VIPower M0-3
proprietary technology, VN808CM completes the
series of Octal High Side Drivers for the factory
automation market. It is intended for driving any
kind of load with one side connected to ground. It
can be driven by using a 3.3V logic supply. Active
current limitation, combined with thermal
shutdown and automatic restart, protects the
device against overload. With primary application
requirements being safety and reliability, this
demonstration board is compliant with
international electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
specifications as well as other requirements. It
has been tested at different typical ambient
temperatures. The reference design is suitable for
use in programmable logic controllers to produce
the related digital outputs according to IEC
standards.
