STMicroelectronics EVL-L98GD8E Evaluation Board
STMicroelectronics EVL-L98GD8E Evaluation Board is designed to evaluate the L98GD8E, a 48V-rated smart power device designed by STMicroelectronics in advanced BCD technology. The L98GD8E is a flexible, high-side/low-side configurable pre-driver that can drive both NMOS and PMOS. It is possible to configure the device as an independent eight high-side and low-side pre-drivers or as two H-Bridge pre-drivers or two pick and hold pre-drivers by using SPI configuration and a jumper on the board. All channels are protected against short circuit, overcurrent, and overtemperature conditions. The user can connect this board to the SPC56M-DIS, the Discovery+ board developed for the SPC563M64L5.
Features
- 3.8V to 60V voltage (min./max.)
- 8-channel configurable MOSFET predriver
- High-side (N-channel and P-channel MOS)
- Low-side (N-channel MOS)
- H-bridge (up to two H-bridges)
- Peak and hold (two loads)
- Access to all relevant pins by test points
- Device registers setting, and the full diagnostic are available through SPI
- Input signal connector compatible with the SPC56M-DIS (SPC563M64L5 Discovery+ evaluation board)
- The possibility of connecting a generic microcontroller board by using a simple adapter
Applications
- Automotive 48V applications
- Low-side, high-side, Peak and hold, and H-Bridge load control
- Designed for driving relays, motors, and all the resistive and inductive loads
