STEVAL-IFP020V1
Data brief
Description
The STEVAL-IFP020V1 demonstration board is
based on the L6370Q, a single-channel high-side
driver chip intended for driving resistive, inductive
or capacitive loads in an industrial environment. It
provides an embedded fast demagnetization
feature for inductive load switch-off.
The device evaluates load disconnection (during
channel on-state), output short to V
overtemperature, undervoltage of supply voltage,
and provides feedback to a control unit.
Integrating an extensive set of electrical
protections makes the application safe and
reliable for use in harsh conditions.
The STEVAL-IFP020V1 demonstration board is
an example of application design using the
L6370Q. It is used to guide the designer in
choosing external components for applications
while providing an appropriate PCB design.
