STEVAL-IFP001V1 8 channel high side driver reference board with VN808CM

The STEVAL-IFP001V1 demonstration board implements the functions of the VN808CM-E, an 8-channel high-side driver with CMOS compatible voltage levels in industrial applications, and is developed using VIPower M0-3 proprietary technology. The VN808CM-E 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 and can be driven by using a 3.3 V logic supply. Active current limitation, combined with thermal shutdown and automatic restart, protects the device against overload.

The STEVAL-IFP001V1 is compliant with international electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) specifications as well as EMC immunity proof 4 kV level EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and 2 kV voltage surge (IEC 61000-4-5), and has been tested at different typical ambient temperatures. It is suitable for use in programmable logic controllers to produce the related digital outputs according to IEC standards.

The STEVAL-IFP001V1 is also based on the SM15T33A, a unidirectional Transil™ diode.
