STMicroelectronics Demonstration Board Power Management for VN808CM-E for Octal High-Side Drivers

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. It is suitable for use in programmable logic controllers to produce the related digital outputs. The STEVAL-IFP001V1 is also based on the SM15T33A, a unidirectional Transil™ diode.
