The EVL-L98GD8E is an evaluation board designed to evaluate L98GD8E, a 48 V rated smart power device designed by STMicroelectronics in advanced BCD technology. L98GD8E is a flexible high-side/low-side configurable predriver which is able to drive both NMOS and PMOS. It is possible to configure the device as an independent 8 high-side and low-side predriver or as 2 H-Bridge predriver or 2 pick and hold predriver by using SPI configuration and jumper on the board. All channels are protected against short circuit, over current and overtemperature conditions. The board can be connected to the SPC56M-DIS, the Discovery+ board developed for the SPC563M64L5.
