EVAL-L9001 is a low cost tool designed to evaluate L9001, a smart power device designed by STMicroelectronics in advanced
BCD technology.
L9001 Simple Power Supply (SPS) device is a multiple output power regulator for automotive applications with one buck
regulator, one configurable buck or linear regulator and one linear regulator. Its output voltages are configurable via discrete
pins.
On top of the regulators, this device integrates a watchdog functional block, and a diagnosis functional block (under/over
voltage, output current and temperature).
Device is capable of low power operation mode with main regulators still active and reduced power consumption from battery.
EVAL-L9001 embeds a typical configuration for SPC5x microcontroller family supplying:
•Buck 5 V output for peripheral supply
•Buck 1.2 V output for core supply
•LDO 5 V output for ADC reference supply
The expansion connector allows to monitor the different diagnostic reset signal, to enable the regulator and, if activated, to
service the windows watchdog.

EVAL-L9001 is intended as low cost tool with pre-defined configuration that exemplify a typical application of
L9001 as power supply for SPC5x family microcontroller. An optimized BOM for the proposed configuration has
been analyzed:
•All components are automotive grade (AEC-Q100)
•Dimensioning have been made taking into account the real application range and cost
Here below the main electrical characteristic of EVAL-L9001:
4WAKE_EXT : Wake-up pin (to be > 3.25 V to enable power supply)

7WDI: Windows watchdog input. Please refer to L9001 Datasheet for further information
8TWN: Thermal warning flag output
9GND : Ground
WDO: Watchdog output (output is driven low
in case of watchdog fault)
STBY: Standby input (The state can be entered by ACTIVE state by rising STBY pin. Depending on the
active VDD regulators (i.e. the regulators which have not been disabled in the application), the low power
mode is managed in a different way). Please refer to L9001 Datasheet for further information

Step 1.Connect power supply positive output to [J2] and ground to [J8].
Step 2.Configure the power supply to 13.5 V and limit the current to 3 A
Step 3.Switch on the power supply
Step 4.Connect the Wake_ext ( pin 4 of expansion connector) to a voltage > 3.25 V
Step 5.Use a multimeter, in voltage measurement setting, to measure following voltages:
–5 V between [J6 (+)] and [J7 (-)]
–1.2 V between [J10 (+)] and [J9 (-)]
–5 V between [J5 (+)] and [J3 (-)]
